TtiE NUMBER QP 'ALUMNAE QIFT5 INGREfll

by Dr. Paul M. McCain
Vice President for Development

One of the most significant features of the 1976-77
Agnes Scott Fund was the greater number of
alumnae who made gifts to the College. The number
reached 3,515 as compared with 2,697 for 1975-76.
Alumnae support provided $225,824 which was a
major factor again in maintaining the college's
financial stability. Included in this amount were
three bequests totalling $20,050 and two annuities
amounting to $10,000.

The major incentive for this increase in donors
was the complimentary copy of the new Alumnae
Directory given to each alumna making a gift. The
thousands of hours of careful preparation which
made the Directory possible is indicative of the fine
volunteer support of so many alumnae. In fact, the
Agnes Scott Fund itself depends upon more than 500
volunteers as Class Fund Chairmen and Agents who
contact the College's 9,000 alumnae.

Under the leadership of Diana Dyer Wilson '33 of
Winston-Salem as General Chairman and Elizabeth
Blackshear (Lib) Flinn '38 of Atlanta as Alumnae
Chairman, some 4,531 alumnae and friends gave a
total of $737,851 to Agnes Scott in 1976-77.

Except for those who preferred to give
anonymously, all individuals, foundations and
businesses who made their gifts directly to Agnes
Scott are listed on the following pages. These
donors made their gifts to the College from July 1,
1976, through June 30, 1977; gifts received after the
latter date will be shown in the report for 1977-78.

The Tower Circle is that group of donors whose
gifts were $1,000 or more. Symbols after the other
names indicate membership in the other special
donor groups: the Colonnade Club (CO for those
who gave $500 or more, the Quadrangle Quorum
(Q) for donors of $250 or more, and the Century
Club (C) for donors of $100 or more. The asterisk (*)
in the class listings indicates an alumna who served
as a Class Agent for the Fund. The double asterisks
(**) indicates donors who are now deceased.

Please let the Agnes Scott Fund Office know of
any corrections which may be needed so that we
can be sure our records are accurate.

To worker and donor alike, the entire College
community welcomes this opportunity to thank you
and express our appreciation for your fine response.

THE PRESIDENT'S REPORT

purpose, meaning, and value of baccalaureate education
with special attention to an appropriate balance of the
academic disciplines with the career preparation and
personal development of students." [Italics mine.]

< 2 y/\\ s

FOR 1976-1977

This is not a new idea, but it expresses rather a
recurrent educational need in our society. It is voiced
periodically, usually in times of economic uncertainty or
recession and generally in the form of a questioning of
the relevance and practical value of traditional
baccalaureate education. Indeed, in my inaugural remarks,
delivered in the spring of 1 974, I warned of "... a new
manifestation of the impatience or disenchantment with
liberal arts education which has been a recurrent
phenomenon of American social history."
Understandably in times of inflation and unemployment,
of an overcrowded job market, students and their
parents tend to opt for educational training which
promises to equip them for entering the job market or
the professions. The danger here is that some young
people expect a liberal arts education to give them
immediately the kind of marketable skills and vocational
training which the liberal arts college, even at its best,
has never pretended to offer.

HE LIBERAL ARTS: SKILLS,
NOWLEDGE, VALUES

ist fall the Southern Regional Education Board
blished a challenging position statement entitled
iorities for Post Secondary Education in the South.
le statement proposed five goals for higher education
the South, as follows :

1. Provide every individual w'ith the opportunity for
maximum development of his/her abilities.
Produce citizens responsive to the social, economic,
and political needs of their time.
Achieve excellence in teaching, scholarship, and
research.

Accelerate the economic progress of the Southern
region through education and research.
Guide the region in solving social problems
created by population changes, racial differences,
urbanization, and technological growth.

These five goals, admirable in themselves, constitute
formidable program, a program much too
mprehensive for direct address by small liberal arts
lieges like Agnes Scott. But there are elements of it
lich we can address and to whose solution we can
ake distinct contributions. We can certainly contribute
the production of "citizens responsive to the social,
onomic, and political needs of their times." Indeed
! have been doing so throughout our history.

Most importantly, despite our small size, Agnes Scott
n continue to make a disproportionate contribution
rough "excellence in teaching, scholarship, and
search" especially in teaching. In less direct ways
e can also contribute to the education and progress of
ir region and to our total society.

To achieve the five goals set down, the Southern
egional Education Board's position statement lists nine
iorities for higher education in the South. One of these
rikes me as especially applicable to us at Agnes Scott,
quote from the statement: "A priority of major
iportance should be an affirmative redefinition of the

I do not for a moment suggest that a liberal arts
education at its best is not useful and "salable." On
the contrary, I would maintain that it is useful and
salable in the most pragmatic sense if it involves a
thorough grounding in the culture of our race (the kind
of knowledge which gives perspective and historic
awareness); in habits of disciplined thought and clear,
articulate expression; in the ability to make intellectual,
aesthetic, and moral judgments, to discriminate among
values.

In asserting the practical values of a liberal arts
education, to say nothing of its personal values in terms
of pleasure and satisfaction, I am by no means denying
young people's need for specific skills and professional
training for their life's work. These must and should be
acquired, not only on the job, but during college years
as well, both on and off the campus, as a valuable
supplement to traditional programs. In seeking such
training, however, young people should be mindful of its
necessarily ephemeral nature in the light of today's rapid
changes in industrial and professional techniques and in
the fickle nature of a constantly changing job market.
One may well ask, just what skills are "salable" at any
given time? Automobile assembly, home construction,
engineering, teaching are examples of skills and
professions whose "salability" has fluctuated markedly
in recent decades.

Related to the popular desire for educational programs
which promise marketable skills is the equally widespread
tendency to evaluate a college education today primarily in
terms of its economic return to the individual. All too
often, students are urged to attend college chiefly in order
that they may find a better job with a higher income.
Similarly, federal and state governments have been
persuaded to finance higher education largely for
reasons of economic and technological development. As
important as financial return-on-investment may be and
college still offers a substantial one such return
should not be paramount in either private pursuit or
public support of education. For centuries a major aim
of education has been the development of an intelligent,
responsible, and civic-minded citizenry. Our nation's
first leaders believed in this aim profoundly; perhaps the
most dramatic tangible example of their conviction is

Chairman of the Board of
Trustees Alex P. Gaines and
President Marvin B. Perry,
Jr., pose before their por-
traits in the Library's con-
ference room.

Thomas Jefferson's founding of the University of
Virginia. Certainly an educated citizenry is of
incalculable benefit to society and state.

But education is a private as well as a public matter;
a preparation not only for responsible citizenship and public
service but also for personal satisfaction and fulfillment.
Indeed, until one has formulated a personal set of values
for living, has attained an emotional stability, has
learned how to live satisfyingly with oneself, only then
is one fitted fully to lead and educate others.

Unfortunately, some of the current advocacy of
vocational skills on the one hand or liberal arts on the
other has implied that they are mutually contradictory.
As Frederic W. Ness, President of the Association of
American Colleges, has recently said, "We have . . .
allowed ourselves to get trapped into a false dichotomy
between the vocational and the liberal in our educational
programs. ... A liberal arts curriculum which does not
demonstrate concern for legitimate vocational interest is
in all likelihood guilty of seriously short-changing the
students. On the other hand, a vocational program which
does not include adequate attention to the basic skills
and values generally attributed to liberal learning is
short-changing society."

In summary, our society needs both vocational,
career-oriented education and traditional liberal arts
education. Vocational training prepares people to work
for systems a very important function in our society.
But even more important, liberal arts education keeps
reminding us that, in a free society, systems must work
for people.

Another aspect of the current concern over the value
and relevance of present-day education, especially
traditional baccalaureate education, is the elitism of
which it is accused in some quarters. Liberal arts
education, runs the argument, aims at excellence;
excellence is discriminating and undemocratic, i.e.
elitist, and to be shunned. Instead, we are urged, by

implication, to "democratize," i.e. water down, academic
standards, testing and grading systems, promotions and
honors in short, incentives to superior performance
and achievement. Nothing could be further from the
democratic ideal of free opportunity, from what
Thomas Jefferson called an aristocracy of virtue and
talent. Indeed, says President John Silber of Boston
University, "The only standard of performance that can
sustain a free society is excellence." It continues to be
claimed in some quarters, however, that excellence is at
odds with democracy; and we are urged by implication
to settle for adequacy, which usually means mediocrity.

Agnes Scott is not interested in mediocrity; it has
aspired since its founding to excellence academic and
moral. Quality is the essence of our mission as a very
special kind of college, a mission which we are glad in
these confused times to reaffirm wholeheartedly. Such
a mission does not suggest in any way a s"obbish or
racist approach to higher education. Rather it affirms our
intent to see that our students whatever their economic
social, and racial backgrounds find at Agnes Scott a
program, a faculty, and an atmosphere which, while
flexible and individual, will stretch their minds and will
give them the opportunity, and the impetus, to develop
their powers to the maximum of their capabilities.

Our national confusion with respect to elitist, or even
racist, charges launched against efforts to maintain or
reassert standards in American education has reached
even into the halls of Congress. A most forceful recent
retort is that of Representative Barbara Jordan, who
points out the deleterious effects of this confusion in the
federal government's attempts to aid higher education:

We have been so brainwashed by an erroneous
definition of democracy that we have difficulty
prescribing any program or formula, or giving any
grant which is better or more than some other grant
because we don't want to be accused of being
undemocratic because we recognize that some peoph
are excellent. ... As members of Congress, we
should not be engaged in a leveling process. . . . We
ought to enunciate and promote those policies

which would lead absolutely, categorically, and
without hesitation to the best this country has to
offer.

Efforts to maintain educational standards in today's
nplex and ever-changing society are difficult and
ivitably subject to attack. But they are not snobbish,
;ist, or sexist. On the contrary, it is racist or sexist to
ume that members of minorities or women are
erior in ability and are unable to compete on an equal
lis if judged by performance alone. To treat them as
ler than equals in potential and opportunity is in my
Igment not only undemocratic but unconstitutional,
reject excellence in the interest of women or
norities (or anyone else), that is, to adopt lower
ndards for them, is a shameful condescension and a
ilation of their right to equal rights.

[n these year-end observations on education generally
1 on Agnes Scott especially there is one other aspect
the liberal arts on which I want to comment. It has to
with the inculcation of values in college education.

We used to hear a great deal about intellectual values
higher education, and not a little about moral or
ritual values inherent in the college experience. In
r egalitarian and secularized times, we hear little
3ugh on our campuses about intellectual values, and
lost nothing of moral or spiritual values. Moral
dication valuelessness appears to be a widely
:epted sign of the times. At least, until very recently,
ere are some hopeful signs that we may have come
1 circle, and that once again we and our leaders on
! campus and beyond are concerned with moral and
ritual values as well as with balanced budgets and
le good life" of our mass-media culture. Indeed, our
)st perceptive leaders, our greatest minds, have always
en concerned with such values, Some years ago, for
imple, Albert Einstein insisted, "It is essential that the
dent acquire an understanding of and a lively feeling
values. He must acquire a vivid sense of the
iutiful and the morally good. Otherwise he with his
:cialized knowledge more closely resembles a
U-trained dog than a harmoniously developed person."

[ believe strongly that the restoration of appropriate
>ral concerns to education as well as to social and
ic realms is a special responsibility of liberal arts
leges. They are better fitted than the larger, more
!cialized, and more impersonal institutions to offer the
id of flexible programs, personal teaching, and
npiis relationships and atmosphere which make a
icern with values an integral part of the total
Jerience.

Values, however, are better exemplified than taught.
;re again colleges like Agnes Scott should have an
vantage : a greater opportunity and hence a greater
ligation. We are not so effective in this area as we
nt to be, but it continues to be a high priority with us.
ere are distractions and frustrations, as there are in
y profession; and teachers and administrators are all too
en, in Samuel Johnson's phrase, "no wiser nor better
m common men." But we have the inspiration of our
idents, and of a high calling. And our responsibility is
esome. In the words of the Reverend Theodore
!sburgh, President of Notre Dame, "It means that all
3se engaged in education today must look to themselves
st, to their moral commitments, to their lives,
d to their own values which, for better or worse, will
reflected in the lives and attitudes of those they seek
educate."

THE AGNES SCOTT YEAR -1976-77

Agnes Scott's eighty-eighth year has come and gone,
and we are now beginning our eighty-ninth. The years
seem to me to move by evermore swiftly, and this past
one was no exception. There are always things left
undone, much ahead still to be done, and never enough
time. But once again I am able to say to the College
family that on balance the year has been a good one.

I shall resist the temptation to attempt a chronicle of
the many varied events of this full year. Rather, I shall
try to be selective, mentioning some typical events and
developments from among the many which could be
cited in hopes that these few will give some idea of the
flavor of our eighty-eighth year and of the character and
direction of our planning for the future. It is my hope
that you have already read detailed accounts of the
year's events in the Alumnae Quarterly, in our
periodic Agnes Scott Newsletter, and in my quarterly
newsletters. I might add, with gratitude, that I believe the
public media coverage of Agnes Scott activities this past
year has been the best in our recent history. The year has
been rich in academic offerings and in concerts,
lectures, exhibits, and other cultural opportunities for the
entire College community.

Our regular faculty has been enhanced by a number of
visiting teachers and lecturers, including our own Benton
Kline, former Dean of the Faculty, who returned this
year from Columbia Seminary to teach a quarter in the
Department of Bible and Religion as our first Wallace
Alston Visiting Professor. Outstanding speakers during
the year have included Professor Oscar Handlin of
Harvard (our Phi Beta Kappa Visiting Scholar),
President Emeritus Wallace Alston (Founder's Day
speaker), the actress Joan Fontaine, distinguished writer
Eudora Welty, and Clive Barnes (music and dance
critic of the New York Times). New this year was a
professional group in residence at Agnes Scott, the
Atlanta Chamber Players, which gave three outstanding
concerts and carried the name of Agnes Scott throughout
the Atlanta area and beyond. Members of the group
have also helped in the teaching of instrumental music
here.

Superior teaching continues to have a top priority at
Agnes Scott. A few examples may be cited as evidence of
our faculty's concern for strengthening and varying its
already comprehensive academic offerings. In the
Department of Bible and Religion, Professor Mary
Boney Sheats offered a seminar on "Woman in the
Bible and Judeo-Christian Tradition," and Professor
Kwai Sing Chang offered two new courses, "Introduction
to Christian Ethics" and "Mysticism East and West." The
Economics Department has added a new course
entitled "Corporate Finance," intended to be a bridge
between economic theory and accounting so that theory
can be a guide to actual practice. Students in Professor
A. B. Cochran's fall quarter political science course on
American political parties had the opportunity to work
two hours a week in election campaigns of their choice.
They wrote papers analyzing campaign strategy, based
on their experiences. Last winter, students in Professor
Lee Copple's Abnormal Psychology course had a chance
to work at the Georgia Mental Health Institute, the
Georgia Regional Hospital, the Howard School for
children with learning disabilities, the DeKalb Workshop
Training Center for retarded adults, or in the Decatur
city schools' classes for emotionally disturbed children or

educable mentally retarded children. This past spring the
ecology class in the Department of Biology took a field trip
to the Sand Hills of south Georgia, the Hatch Nuclear
Power Plant, the Okefenokee Swamp, and to the
estuaries and coastal areas of northeast Florida. As for
new equipment, the Chemistry Department has recently
acquired a second PDP-8 mini-computer, donated by
Tennecomp, Incorporated, of Oakridge, Tennessee.
According to Professor Alice Cunningham, the second
computer will allow the Department to use one computer
for calculations and programming and the other for
gathering data from instruments used in experiments.

Teaching and learning opportunities have not been
limited to the campus, however, and Agnes Scott students
could be found during the year from the Bahamas to
Washington, D. C, pursuing course work in subjects
ranging from the fine arts to the natural sciences.
Students working in various majors participated in the
Washington Semester programs administered by
American University in the nation's capital. For example,
a biology major studied national policy making in
science and technology while other students studied
economic policy making, international development, and
the processes of national government. In Atlanta two
political science majors worked as interns in the Georgia
legislature as part of their political science course
entitled "The Legislative Process." Sociology students
studying deviance developed projects on women and
crime for which they talked with Atlanta area police,
convicted female prisoners, court officials, probation
officers, attorneys, women's rights groups, and other
public and private organizations that have contact with
female offenders. The Department of Music introduced
instruction on the harpsichord and established new
performing groups, including a Recorder Society and a
Baroque Ensemble. The Department also sponsored a
national composition contest for the best original piece
for women's voices. The winning entry is to be published
by a national music publisher.

New teaching resources acquired include valuable
casts of Biblical artifacts from the Iraq National Museum
and new prints and paintings for our permanent art
collection.

An academic highlight of the year was the conference
held by the Agnes Scott faculty at Unicoi State Park
in north Georgia on the theme "The Liberal Arts
Tradition and the Changing Status of Women." Including
speakers and consultants, there were approximately
eighty people on hand. In a most relaxing and beautiful
setting, the faculty gathered for serious reflection on
a traditional commitment of the College in the light of a
new and central challenge. Liberal arts colleges have
generally educated leaders. Since women are becoming
leaders in increasing numbers, a college for women should
take the opportunity to reflect on its purpose and to
reaffirm the essential and the enduring in order
to incorporate the new and challenging. There were
four panels. The first, entitled "The Liberal Arts
Tradition," was composed of our own faculty. The second
and third panels, except for the moderators, were
composed of visiting scholars and other experts from
outside our faculty, and considered respectively "The
Changing Status of Women" and "The Liberal Arts
Tradition and the Changing Status of Women at Sister
Institutions." The fourth and final panel took up "The
Liberal Arts Tradition and the Changing Status of Women:
Agnes Scott College." In addition to some lively
discussion in a friendly and informal atmosphere, there

Librarian Judith B. Jensen

was time for good meals together, some invigorating
walks, a Saturday night party, and a Sunday morning
chapel service. Judged from the enthusiasm, the conferei
was an outstanding success. Out of it grew a series of
discussions during the academic year which will almost
certainly bring about innovations in our curriculum
and extracurricular programs for the future.

The College was visited in the course of the year by a
committee from the State Department of Education, wh
made its customary five-year inspection of our program
in teacher education. We were pleased, following their
visit, to receive a very positive endorsement and approv;
of our program for another five years. To Professor
Margaret Ammons, of the Department of Education, go
much credit for the organization and carrying out of
this inspection and for the favorable report which
resulted from it.

I am glad to report that our "Return to College"
program, designed chiefly for women who wish to retui
to college after some years away, or to begin college fo
the first time, continues to flourish. Both faculty and
students report that the maturity and experience of the
women in this program add much to the breadth
and liveliness of classes, and the "Return to College"
students report most enthusiastically on their Agnes Sec
experience. Support for this program in the coming yea
was bolstered by a luncheon in the Dana Fine Arts
Building given this summer by Mrs. Perry, followed by
a panel from the Office of Admissions. More than
sixty-five Atlanta women were in attendance.

With the final completion this summer of the renovation
McCain Library, we welcomed a new librarian to
; College. She is Judith B. Jensen (Mrs. Alton P.),
o comes to us from the position of Librarian at the
sokings Institution in Washington, D. C. A cum laude
iduate of Chestnut Hill College in Philadelphia, she
:eived her master's degree in Library Science from the
liversity of California at Berkeley. Her husband is
ncipal research engineer and a faculty member of the
lool of Information and Computer Science at the
orgia Institute of Technology. I am confident that under
s. Jensen's leadership the McCain Library will continue
offer the excellent service to students and faculty
lich has marked its history under a succession of
tstanding librarians. Most recently, we are grateful
Dale F. Luchsinger, Librarian from 1973 to 1977, who
t this summer to pursue further graduate study.

The campus was saddened on March 28 by the death
Professor Margret Trotter after an illness which she had
ively resisted for several years. The 1977 Agnes Scott
riters' Festival had been planned to honor Professor
otter on the occasion of her completion of thirty-three
ars of teaching at the College. Instead, the Festival
s held as a tribute to her and to her devotion to
jrature and literary creativity. Three distinguished
iters were on campus as participants: Pulitzer prize-
nning author Eudora Welty; poet, critic, and short story
iter Guy Davenport from the University of Kentucky;
d Josephine Jacobson, poet and honorary consultant
American Letters to the Library of Congress. Many
ung writers were also on campus, and the customary
izes were awarded for the best poems and short stories,
argret Trotter's impress on her colleagues and students
IS quiet but deep, and it will be lasting.

Professor Edward McNair retired from active duty this
ar, bringing to a close twenty-five years of devoted
d skillful service to Agnes Scott in a number of ways.

has been at once a popular and demanding teacher of
iglish, the historian of the College, Director of Public
lations, and a most loyal and efficient assistant to the
esident. At the annual meeting of the Board of Trustees,
'. McNair was made Professor Emeritus, but I am
ippy to announce that he will continue his association
th us next year as College Archivist, resuming his work

the history of Agnes Scott College.

Director of Public Relations Sara Fountain

Professor McNair will be succeeded as Director of
Public Relations by Miss Sara Fountain. A graduate of
Georgia Southern College, Miss Fountain has also
studied at Emory and Georgia State Universities. She
has had extensive experience in public relations and
advertising and has also worked as a reporter and assistant
editor for the Savannah Evening Press. Miss Fountain
is on the Board of Governors of The National Academy
of Television Arts and Sciences and is a charter member
and vice-president of the Georgia Communications
Council. She was named one of the Outstanding Young
Women in America in 1975. We are most fortunate
to secure a person of Miss Fountain's experience and
personal strengths. I am confident she will develop an
even more effective program at Agnes Scott.

Adequate financial compensation of faculty and staff
continues to be a major priority, and in this important area
the past year has also seen progress. Despite current
economic uncertainties and the size of our faculty and
staff, both of which are larger than those of most colleges
of our size, we have been able again to increase faculty
and staff salaries for 1 977-78-. Individual increases were
based on a combination of across the board and merit
adjustments. In the past three years we have steadily
improved our standing among comparable colleges with
respect to salaries. We shall continue to try to improve
our national and regional standing in the years ahead. The
Faculty Committee on Compensation is charged with
ascertaining faculty feelings on salary policies and keeping
the faculty aware of possible improvements in our
fringe benefit programs.

In another major area of our concern, that of student
admissions and enrollment, we were greatly heartened by
another relatively large freshman class in September,
1976. Coming from some twenty-one states and five
foreign countries, the class showed superior academic
strength in terms of improved College Board scores and
high school class standing. Sixty-two percent came from
states other than Georgia, and almost three-quarters
were graduates of public high schools. Their extracurricular
interests and activities were extensive and evidenced
great potential for leadership in their college careers.

In the light of the marked increase in the size of our
last two entering classes, it is disappointing to report
that this year's entering class, while excellent in quality,
is not so large as our last two freshmen classes. Retention
of upper classmen has improved, however, and the
overall size of the College this fall will be approximately
the same as that of last year. We are determined to
continue the steady if modest growth in size which our
student body has shown since 1974. We are well aware
of the factors which militate against such increase today,
and we have been studying carefully this summer
possible reasons for a somewhat smaller class this fall.
While we continue to enroll some sixty percent of
candidates to whom we offer admission, our total applicant
pool this year was smaller than those of the last two
years. After a summer of analysis and study, plus a
record amount of preparatory publicity, we are working
to regain our momentum in the year ahead. The active
cooperation and enthusiasm of faculty, present students,
and alumnae are essential in such an undertaking;
and we are intensifying our efforts to bring more of
these groups into our recruiting program. We have many
reasons for encouragement and optimism. One such
is the fact that the top high school student in Georgia
is entering Agnes Scott this fall. Selected under the

so-called STAR Student Program, sponsored each year
by the Georgia Chamber of Commerce, Miss Ila Burdette,
of Hogansville, was selected from among 400 contestants
for this year's honor. She will attend Agnes Scott on
a four-year scholarship awarded by the Georgia Chamber
of Commerce. Miss Burdette was the first woman to
be chosen in the several years of this competition, and
we are delighted that she has chosen Agnes Scott.

In the area of student life, the 1976-77 year was again
an active and productive one. Dean of Students Martha
Kirkland and her staff continue to deal with a wide
variety of student interests and needs, a variety which
reflects the increasing complexity and uncertainties of our
larger society. We continue to be encouraged by the
maturity and commitment to Agnes Scott's principles
which our student leaders show. Student Government
remains a responsible and vital part of our total
administrative process here, and our honor system
continues strong. Again this past year the Honor Court
conducted panels and other programs to heighten
awareness of the honor system among students and
faculty alike and to increase our knowledge of
its functioning.

Dean Kirkland reports that the year in Career Planning
has been an active and increasingly effective one.
Additional part-time staffing has helped Director of
Career Planning lone Murphy, and we have been
encouraged by receipt of a grant from International
Business Machines to enlarge the scope and activity of
the Office of Career Planning over the next three years. It
is most gratifying to report that the faculty is increasingly

Slar Student Ila Burdette '81, right, with her mother

interested in helping students with career matters. A
faculty Task Force is at work relating academic discipline
to career possibilities and thus bringing about closer
relationships between faculty personnel and those of the
corporate and business community, both local
and national.

We have continued to have a positive experience with
the administrative intern program established with the
support of the Carnegie Corporation by Agnes Scott and
fifteen other leading women's colleges four years ago. Th
administrative intern on our campus this past year. Miss
Barbara Knickerbocker, a graduate of Mills College,
was assigned to the Office of the Dean of Students. Her
work was chiefly in the Office of Career Planning,
and she made a valuable contribution to this increasingly
significant aspect of Agnes Scott's service activities. She
was instrumental in drawing up the proposal submitted to
IBM, which resulted in a three-year grant from that
corporation for the strengthening of our Career
Planning program.

Agnes Scott alumna Mary Margaret McLauchlin, '75,
formerly of our Admissions staff, was intern at
Salem College.

Our intern for 1977-78 will be Miss Fatma Kassamali,
native of Tanzania, East Africa. A 1970 graduate of
Cedar Crest College, Miss Kassamali earned a master's
degree in Information Science at Syracuse University and
comes to us following service on the staff of Wellesley
College as a Residence Coordinator. Agnes Scott alumna
Janet L. Sarbaugh, '74. who earned an M.A. degree in
history from the University of North Carolina, will intern
at Chatham College in Pittsburgh.

Through the Office of Career Planning almost fifty
business and industrial organizations recruited on campus
during the past year, more than 150 others listed jobs by
telephone, and almost 450 listed job opportunities by mai
Vocational tests were administered to both undergraduate
and alumnae during the year by the Office of Career
Planning, and a number of programs and workshops were
held, ranging in subject matter from writing resumes and
undergoing interviews to assertiveness training and job
skills clinics.

It is too early yet for definite statistics on activities of t
Class of 1977, but there are interesting results available
from a questionnaire sent out to the Class of 1976. Of the
121 members of that graduating class, over ninety percen
replied to the questionnaire. Of these 1 12 respondents,
sixty-three reported that they were employed, thirty were
in graduate school, eleven were not working, and eight
were looking for work at the time. In times like these sucl
a record is certainly creditable, indicating as it does that
over four-fifths of the class which responded is either
employed or in graduate study.

A college year at Agnes Scott is unfailingly rich in
educational and social events which benefit both the
College family and the larger Atlanta community. Since
coming to Agnes Scott, it has been my hope to gain
increasing recognition for the College as one of the chief
cultural centers of the Atlanta area. I believe we are
making progress in this respect; certainly campus offerin;
during the 1976-77 year in music, art, drama, and public
affairs have been of significant number and variety and o
high quality. Space forbids a complete listing of such
events, but that which follows is a fair sample:

Under the imaginative and energetic leadership of
Alumnae Association President Mary Duckworth
Gellerstedt, '46, and Director of Alumnae Affairs Virginia
Brown McKenzie, '47, the Alumnae Association enjoyed
another outstanding year. Once again, I have enjoyed
knowing and working with the splendid women, scattered
throughout the world today, who are our alumnae. I am
especially indebted to the officers of the Association,
members of our excellent staff, and many devoted alumnae
volunteers everywhere. A landmark this past year was the
publication of our first Alumnae Directory in some
twenty-eight years. The decision to distribute it free to all
who contributed to the year's Agnes Scott Fund resulted
in a dramatic jump in the number of alumnae contributors.
Specifically, more than 800 new alumnae contributed to
the 1976-77 Fund, an increase of thirty percent over last
year. Of our approximately 9,000 living alumnae, thirty-
nine percent contributed to the Fund, a jump of nine
percent over the preceding year and a very respectable
figure indeed for any American college. Alumnae who did
not receive a Directory last year may receive a copy this
year, while they last, by making a contribution to the
1977-78 Fund.

As a sample of additional achievements of the past year
in alumnae activities, let me mention a few specific events.
Alumnae Weekend in April brought together more than
700 alumnae, faculty, and staff for class reunions, special
celebrations, and the annual meeting and luncheon. At this
time Outstanding Alumna Awards were made to Rachel
Henderlite, '28 (Distinguished Career); Margaret McDow
MacDougall, '24 (Community Service); and Mary West
Thatcher, '15 (Service to the College).

The Alumnae Council in October brought back more
than 100 alumnae leaders from throughout the country
for training sessions and a lively exchange of ideas.
Educational seminars were sponsored in Atlanta by the
Alumnae Association with the following leaders: Dr.
Catherine Sims ("Europe since 1945"), Dr. Mary Boney
Sheats and Dr. Linda Lentz Woods ("Passages"), Dr. Kwai
Sing Chang ("Hawaii," preparatory to the alumnae trip
there). A new summer offering, a seminar on the family,
was presented in June.

Alumnae trips were sponsored to historic Washington-
Wilkes, Georgia, and to Columbus, Georgia. Travel
highlight of the year was a most successful week-long
trip to Hawaii. Mrs. Perry and I were fortunate indeed to
be guests of the Association for this trip, and we enjoyed
not only traveling with our "mainland" alumnae but seeing
Hawaii alumnae at a delightful dinner in Honolulu.
Finally, it is gratifying to report that the number of
alumnae clubs increased some twenty-five percent, from
thirty-two to forty clubs, during the year.

Once again I enjoyed my alumnae visits around the
country, visiting with alumnae in New York, Jacksonville,
Greenville, Louisville, Chattanooga, Nashville, Charleston
(South Carolina), and Honolulu.

I have already reported on the dramatic jump in the
number of alumnae donors to the 1976-77 Agnes Scott
Fund. In dollar figures, some 3,700 alumnae (thirty-nine
percent) contributed almost $226,000 to the Fund, which
totaled approximately $739,000. The increase in the
number of alumnae donors is especially encouraging.
Whatever the amount, a gift indicates alumnae interest
and support; and that is what we are most interested in
deserving and increasing. We could not have received this
fine support without the generous giving of time and

Vice President for Business Affairs Lee A. Barclay

energy by hundreds of Class Chairmen and Agents for thi
Fund, and of active members of local, regional, and
national elements of the Alumnae Association.

As always, many other friends individuals,
corporations, foundations added their gifts to those of
our alumnae. The accompanying table indicates the sourc
of these gifts and the uses to which they were allocated
in 1976-77. Space forbids the individual acknowledgment
here of the thousands of gifts to Agnes Scott during the
year although we have tried to send our personal thanks i
every donor. I should like to make specific mention,
however, of several of the most significant gifts and gran
received by the College in the 1976-77 year. From two
anonymous foundations we have received handsome grar
of $200,000 and $25,000, the first to aid in renovation o
the McCain Library and Buttrick Hall, the second for
scholarships. The Charles A. Dana Foundation made us
a generous matching grant of $50,000 for the renovation
of the Dana Fine Arts Building. Our annual share of th{
contributions made by Georgia business firms to the
Georgia Foundation for Independent Colleges was almo
$32,000. From the Arthur Vining Davis Foundation we
received $25,000 to aid in renovation of McCain Librarj
The Charles Loridans Foundation added $25,000 to the
Adeline Arnold Loridans Chair of French. From the
J. M. Tull Foundation we received an additional $20,00<
to be added to the Tull Scholarship Fund. Twelve paintii
valued at approximately $12,000 were a gift from Mr.
Clifford M. Clark of Atlanta and New York. Mrs. How:
P. Conrad gave $10,000 for the establishment of the

oward P. Conrad scholarship. Two bequests of some

0,000 each were received from the estates of Agnes
:ott Donaldson, '17, and Martha Lou Overton, '28.
brds cannot adequately express our gratitude for these

d the thousands of other gifts and bequests which the
allege received during the past year. Without them we
luld not continue to operate "in the black." Indeed,

76-77 was a most successful fiscal year, enabling us to
)ntinue our programs of improvement in academic areas,

our library collections, in financial aid to students, in
impensation of faculty and staff, and in ongoing
novation of our buildings and grounds. We are
ofoundly grateful for such support, support which makes
possible for us to plan for the future with confidence and
anksgiving.

After four summers' work, the renovation of McCain
brary is complete; and we have been most pleased with

enthusiastic reception by students and faculty. The
)ard of Trustees will hold its October meeting in the
;w Board Room on McCain's second floor, a room which
ill be used as well in the future for special College
:casions. On the second floor are also a new Special
allections room, an Archives room, an exhibition foyer,
id a small kitchen.

In addition to the usual housekeeping repairs and
furbishings about the buildings and grounds, a welcome
iprovement completed this summer was the resurfacing of
ir tennis courts. Planning was begun on the renovation
Buttrick Hall, a major project scheduled for the summer
1978. Once again we are indebted to our Director of
lysical Plant, John J. Hug, and his hard-working staff
ir the present excellent condition of our buildings and
ounds. The favorable comments we have received in
cent months are especially gratifying in the light of the
anning and efforts which have'gone into this general
Dkeep program.

The renovation of the Dana Fine Arts Building,
completed this summer, included the overhaul of the
heating and air-conditioning systems, and the cleaning of
the exterior. A new print-making facility has been installed
in the building, which will add materially to our offerings
in the fine arts.

We were sorry to lose our capable Vice-President for
Business Affairs, Mr. Doyle M. Dillard, who left in July
of this year to assume his duties as Vice-President of
Finance at the University of South Alabama in Mobile.
Mr. Dillard was succeeded on September 1 by Mr. Lee A.
Barclay, who comes to us from the University of
Montevallo, Montevallo, Alabama, where he has been
Treasurer and Business Manager since 1951. A graduate
of the University of Alabama, Mr. Barclay also holds a
master's degree from the University of North Carolina at
Chapel Hill and has had college teaching experience as
well as many years in academic administration. Active in
the professional and civic life of his community, he is
President-Elect of the Southern Association of College and
University Business Officers. He is married to the former
Bess Warren Hurt. We are fortunate to secure a person of
Mr. Barclay's broad experience and proven professional
qualities.

The entire College community was saddened in June
by the sudden and untimely death of Laura Steele, '37, our
devoted and extremely efficient Registrar. For almost
forty years Laura Steele served Agnes Scott with
unmatched loyalty and efficiency. Shortly after her
graduation in 1937 she became secretary to President
McCain and subsequently Registrar and Director of
Admissions. For seventeen years she held these two crucial
posts at the College. My friendship with Laura Steele
extends back to our college admissions days when I saw
her frequently at regional and national meetings and came
to admire her fine qualities long before I came to Agnes
Scott. An eloquent tribute to Laura Steele appeared in the
summer issue of the Agnes Scott Alumnae Quarterly, but
words cannot pay adequate tribute to the devotion and
quality of her service to Agnes Scott and the quiet charm
and wit of her friendship. We shall miss her greatly in
countless ways.

Lea Ann Grimes, '76, Assistant to the Registrar, was
appointed Acting Registrar of the College effective
August 1 5. Miss Grimes has been a most effective and
efficient Assistant to the Registrar during her first year of
service, and I am confident she will maintain the high
standard set by Laura Steele.

In the September issue of the President's Newsletter it
was my pleasure to introduce five new members of the
Board of Trustees, elected at the annual meeting in May.
Inasmuch as the newsletter carried pictures and
biographical sketches of these new Trustees, I shall merely
identify them here and welcome them to a community to
which I know they will add fresh vision and strength.
They are: G. Conley Ingram, former Associate Justice of
the Supreme Court of Georgia and at present a member
of the Atlanta law firm of Alston, Miller and Gaines;
Harriet M. King, '64, former Assistant Dean of the Emory
University Law School and now Associate Professor of
Law there; J. Erskine Love, Jr., President of Printpack,
Inc., Atlanta; Horace Holden Sibley, a partner in the
Atlanta law firm of King and Spalding, and son of Trustee
Emeritus John A. Sibley; and the Reverend John Randolph
Taylor, pastor of the Myers Park Presbyterian Church of
Charlotte, North Carolina.

President Perry charts future.

and direction of a college at any given time are much like
questions about the purpose of education itself or what
constitutes a liberal arts curriculum. They defy pat
answers, and sincere respondents who are in general
agreement will offer answers which differ in emphasis
and details.

Throughout these past four years I have attempted in
my public remarks and published reports to enunciate
what I conceive to be Agnes Scott's mission and priorities
for this decade and the immediate future. For the record,
and as a reminder, I want to quote here two statements
of our institutional purpose: one general, the other more
specific. They are not my words, but they express aims
and principles to which I am firmly committed. Each is
printed in our current catalog. The first statement comes
from the Articles of Incorporation of Agnes Scott College
and affirms the Corporation's, i.e. Trustees', purpose to
establish and conduct "a liberal arts college for the
higher education of young women under auspices
distinctly favorable to the maintenance of the faith and
practice of the Christian religion." On this affirmation of
general purpose, let me comment briefly. First, we
interpret the term "young women" very liberally today!
Second, while firmly commited to "auspices . . . favorable
to the faith and practice of the Christian religion," Agnes
Scott has always been an independent college, free of any
public or sectarian control and governed by a self-
perpetuating Board of Trustees, membership on which is
open to any duly elected person who "shall be in
sympathy and accord" with the stated objectives of the
College. Third, while proud of its Presbyterian founders
and Christian heritage, the College has always been open
as the Articles of Incorporation state, "to students of any
religion or sect." The same policy applies today to faculty
and staff; and all pertinent Agnes Scott publications carry
explicit statements of the College's non-discriminatory
policies with respect to "race, color, creed, and national
or ethnic origin."

THE FUTURE: PURPOSE AND
PRIORITIES

It has been my custom in these annual Reports to devote
the concluding section to a brief consideration of Agnes
Scott's needs and priorities in the years ahead, especially
as they may be affected by changing directions and
emphases in higher education generally. This is not to say
that we intend to trim our sails to every wind that blows
across academic seas. But we have an obligation to see that
Agnes Scott students are offered an educational experience
which combines an enlightened adherence to the best of
our traditional programs and values with a willingness to
undertake responsible experiment and innovation. Such
a course should in no way weaken our historic
commitments to high academic standards and Christian
values; rather it should reaffirm and strengthen them.

Rhetoric aside, what are Agnes Scott's purpose and
priorities today? Where are we headed? What is our proper
mission? These are questions which, despite our
publications and our public pronouncements, are still
asked not only by alumnae and foundations, for
example, but even by our own faculty and students. Such
questions are understandable and proper. They deserve
answers, but rarely can they be answered precisely and
specifically, or for all time. Questions about the purpose

The second statement of purpose, printed in full in the
College catalog, is as follows:

"In a rapidly changing world of increasing
mechanization and complexity, the College continue:
to put its faith in the life of the mind and the spirit
and in the liberating power of knowledge.

As a liberal arts college for undergraduate women
the purpose of the College is:

1 . to help the student gain a basic acquaintance witt
each of three broad areas of knowledge the
humanities, natural sciences and mathematics, and
social sciences and competence in some particulai
phase of one area;

2. to develop through such study those qualities of
mind analytical, critical and imaginative whicl
will enable the student to use the treasure of the past
as well as contemporary contributions to knowledge
not only to enrich her own life but also to seek
solutions to age-old and new problems;

3. to develop an appreciation for excellence and
for man's creative achievements in all fields;

4. to encourage the student to find for herself a
spiritual commitment and a set of values which will
give vitality, meaning, and direction to her life;

Contemporary Admissions Office

5. to foster a concern for human worth and needs,
physical as well as intellectual and spiritual;

6. to cultivate in the student a sense of responsibility
to the society in which she lives, both within the
college community and beyond."

These six aims constitute an institutional purpose with
ich it is hard to quarrel in principle, but they are not
ays easy to translate into effective action. Few ideal
dos are. But the effort, difficult as it may be, is our
ir responsibility. These six aims give us trustees,
ulty, students, administrators, alumnae bench marks
inst which we can, and must, measure periodically our
grams and priorities at Agnes Scott. While they
nowledge our strong commitment to the liberal arts,
y wisely do not prescribe a rigid and constricting
gram for carrying out that commitment. We are free,
ve must be, to pursue our mission as our heritage and
best judgment may together suggest at a given time;
1, similarly, to set periodic priorities which are in
ping with our larger, long-range purpose. Finally, it
luld be noted, this statement of purpose embodies the
nmitment to excellence and the concern for values
llectual and moral which I have considered in the
ming section of this Report, commitments which, more
jortantly, have always been essential elements in the
of this College.

n my judgment, these two statements of purpose are
)ropriate and realistic expressions of Agnes Scott's
per mission for our times. As for priorities and
)grams in any given year, there are bound to be
ferences of opinion in an academic community. Indeed,
rare that any two faculty members or any two
ninistrators, for that matter can agree about what
cific knowledge should be required of all students, or
at method of teaching is best. This is as it should be.
inest discussion, free expression of opinions and
ivictions are at the heart of the academic enterprise
long as they are conducted in an atmosphere of mutual
St and respect.

I believe that the policies and programs we have pursued
at Agnes Scott, including those of the past four years,
have been consistent with our long-range institutional
purposes. Further, I am confident that there is on this
campus today a strong and continuing commitment to
academic excellence, to human values and individual
development in a Christian context. We intend to hold to
our historic course in the light of these commitments,
mindful of our rich heritage, yet equally mindful of the
needs of today's young women. These changing needs
do not call for the abandonment of our traditional values
and principles; rather they demand imaginative translations
of them into the language and programs of today and
tomorrow. It is to this task that all of us must devote
ourselves with even greater energy, sensitivity, and vision.

First Biology Chairman Dies

Mrss Gertrudk Spain, the first
chairman of the department of
biology at Agnes Scott, died
July 9, 1977, at her home in
Erie, Pennsylvania. Miss Sevin
was responsible for establishing
a department of biology when
the former general science de-
partment was divided into sep-
arate departments of biology,
chemistry, and physics, in order
for the College to achieve an
A-1 rating.

Miss Sevin, a graduate of
Syracuse University, came to

Agnes Scott in 1911 and served
as professor of biology and
geology until 1915. She left
Agnes Scott to complete a
master's degree at the Univer-
sity of Wisconsin, and then
taught at Adelphi College for six
years. In 1923 Miss Sevin took
over the family art store in
Erie, which she operated for
forty years. Following her re-
tirement in 1964, she traveled
to Europe and wrote her family
genealogy.

Minister Crusades
For Equal
Treatment

At the age of 71, Ruth Rogers
x'26 is a doctoral candidate in
the Candler School of Theol-
ogy at Emory University and
also works in the chaplaincy
program of Wesley Retirement
Homes. As a student, she has
aroused among her younger
classmates interest in her plight
and that of other female
ministers.

After years of struggling for
equal treatment as a Methodist
minister. Rev. Rogers recently
retired from the ministry. Al-
though licensed to preach in
1949, she was denied a suitable
pulpit and had to support her-
self by teaching secondary
mathematics in the Atlanta
City School System for 36
years, until her retirement in
1970. Miss Rogers considers
her years as a public school
teacher to have been, at times,
a "missionary venture" when
she counseled with students
whose personal troubles kept
them from doing their best
school work.

She explains that women in
ministry have not received pul-

pits comparable to those given
to men, regardless of their abil-
ity. Her only assignments were
to small mission churches in
Gate City (1955 to I960),
Blair Village (1960 to 1963),
and East Point (1964 to 1965).
Rev. Rogers disagrees that
women ministers are not ac-
cepted by their -congregations,
for the pastorates she has
served continue to call her
back to perform services.

Ruth mentions difficulty
gaining acceptance from her
peers as well as from the clergy
hierarchy. She feels that she
was not looked upon as equally
qualified and some did not be-
lieve she had received a true
calling to the ministry.

This energetic septuagenarian
has recently completed a re-
search study which describes
the problems a number of
other female ministers have
faced in their careers. She does
perceive changing attitudes
toward women in the ministry,
but decries discrimination which
still exists.

Miss Rogers attended Agnes
Scott from 1922 to 1924 and
graduated with honors from
Georgia Tech in 1932. She
then earned a B.A. (1934) and
an M.S. (1935) from the Uni-
versity of Georgia. In 1948 she
began postgraduate work at
Emory and was a student in
the Candler School of Theol-
ogy from 1949 until 1956. She
received her Master of Divinity
degree from Candler in 1976.

Rev. Ruth Rogers is a recip-
ient of a Phi Chi Theta award
and the Interfraternity Council
Scholarship Key, and is a mem-
ber of Phi Kappa Phi, Phi Chi
Theta, Delta Mu Delta, and
Crimson Key. She is listed in
Who's Who in Methodism.

Alumnae Council Visit with Faculty

jm the Director

Virginia Brown McKenzic '47

Alumnae Council Is Refresher Course

JMNAE COUNCIL, which had its annual meeting
3ber 1, 1977, is composed of Agnes Scott's
inae leaders: Class Presidents, Vice Presidents

Secretaries, Fund Chairmen and Agents, Club
idents. Alumnae Admissions Representatives,
cutive Board Members, and Past Presidents of
Alumnae Association. These elected and selected
ers are the motivating force of our Alumnae
jciation, and each one performs a specific func-

to assist in the outreach of the College and
er education in general.

he purpose of Alumnae Council is to bring these
ers back to the campus to see and hear what
es Scott College is today and to learn ways we
he College can better assist the Councillors in

special jobs. Students, faculty, administration
staff, and physical plant personnel focus on the

of communicating. A student panel speaks and
vers questions; faculty meet informally with the
ncillors (pictured on left page); and the Presi-

dent and his top administrators address the group
and answer questions. All campus personnel try to
facilitate the events of the day.

The opportunity to exchange ideas and concen-
trate on individual policy and problems is best
accomplished in the workshops for specific areas of
interest, e.g.. Admissions Representatives, Fund,
Class Officers, and Clubs. Agnes Scott alumnae are
resourceful and opinionated individuals, and the
two-way communication in these workshops is con-
structive for both the College and the Councillors.

After Council meeting we hope those attending
will go home with fresh insight and renewed enthusi-
asm for their assignments. And we at the College
try to implement the suggestions and requests we've
received for facilitating the tasks of these remarkable
sustainers.

To these leaders we say, "Thank you for your in-
spiration and continued support!"

tters to the Editor

summer Quarterly is about the best
:ver seen. Bet Zenn's article brings just
sort of thing one wants to be told
t; Ed McNair's appreciation of Laura
e is very good: the class news is well
; and the pictures are fine, from the
ling one of the Pompeiian bottle on
cover to the generous sprinkling of
liar faces within. The whole thing
superior editorial judgment, from
:hoice of material to a proofreading
that measures up to Laura Steele's

)ecially appreciate Nathalie FitzSimons
erson's article on Margret Trotter in
summer issue of the Quarterly. Dr.
ter was the advisor for my independent
y, and though I felt she knew me dis-
ingly well, I was too busy regarding
as teacher, scholar and critic to get to
V her as a person. The article reminded
jf what I had and what I missed.

Mary Womack Cox '64

North Miami, Florida

The photograph of the glass bottle on the
front of the Alumnae Quarterly is so beau-
tiful I want to frame it! As always, it is
special to receive the Quarterly. This time
I found out something I had wondered
about for some time: that, since beginning
Latin is taught at ASC, four years of Latin
are no longer required for entrance.

Bemice Beaty Cole '33

Jamaica. New York

I changed colleges during 1916 to be
nearer my home in Kentucky. I have al-
ways loved Agnes Scott, even though I am
from seven other colleges also.

Mary Etta Thomas Stephenson '17

Jacksonville, Alabama

One of your many notes, reminding me of
my duty, asked for suggestions! I am en-
tirely too old (being 92+) to have any
suggestions for a college as progressive, as
modern, but as conservative and fine, as
Agnes Scott.

1 am indeed proud to be considered an
alumna of such a college, not having grad-
uated, only taking special courses and
voice that was my major. I went to New

York in early 1906 to study for concert
and opera.

My husband was a naval officer, and
also very fond of music, and was my
accompanist. Shortly after our marriage.
he was ordered to the Orient for three
years duty. We often entertained our
American and British friends. We were in
Manila in th'e winter months: Shanghai,
China, spring and fall; and in the summer
while he was cruising, I stayed in Japan.

Give my warmest regards to Mr. Perry;
and to those dear young girls my fond-
est love. They are so bright and have so
many activities that we did not seem to
have. A recent Quarterly had a picture of
"us girls" in long skirts to the ground, play-
ing golf. I could have been one of them.

My love and greetings to all of you.

Marine Biology Summer Trip
Explored Florida and Bahamas

ORKELING AND PHOTOGRAPHING sea

; in the Bahama Islands and along the
arida coast. That's the life nine Agnes
ott students led this summer. They
:re taking a course in marine biology
ight by Agnes Scott professor Dr.
im Simpson.

The group studied the organisms and
Dlogy of the sea. For part of their
dies they photographed coral reefs
der water off Andros Island in the
hamas. Off the Gulf coast of Florida
Sanibel Island, they watched Caretta
I turtles come onto the beach at night
lay eggs. They conducted experi-
!nts on Pigeon Key in the Florida
:y Islands and snorkeled in Camp
nnekamp State Park, a coral preserve
tirely under water off the Atlantic
ast of Florida.

Throughout the four-week trip they
ended seminars by distinguished mar-
scientists working at laboratories in
jrida. Among scientists the group
ked with was Dr. William Herrnkind,
10 has worked with Jacques Cousteau,
nous French marine biologist.

Although involved in serious study
during the trip, the group found time
for fun. Calling themselves "The Danc-
ing Decapods" and naming Dr. Simpson
their manager, they improvised skits
and songs that they performed spon-
taneously whenever the opportunity
arose.

On the trip were Debbie Ballard, At-
lanta, Ga.; Angela Carter, Chipley, Fla.;
Carol Corbitt, Anchorage, Alaska;
Kathy Fitch, Lexington, Ky.; Laurie
Kramer, Vero Beach, Fla.: Beth Mason,
Stone Mountain, Ga.; Mary Romeo,
Augusta, Ga.; Jennifer Scott, Anniston,
Ala.; and Sue Yannone, Grand Forks,
Ind.

The marine biology course alternates
with a summer course in desert biology
taught by Dr. Harry Wistrand, assistant
professor of biology. The desert biology
course takes students through the Chi-
huahuan and Sonoran deserts of the
southwestern United States.

Photography Contest Exposes Studentlalent

hy Andrea Helms, News Director

Last summer Jennifer Scott, Silhouettt
editor and senior biology major fron
Gainesville, Georgia, came to me an(
said, "Why don't we sponsor a photog
raphy contest in order to discover stu
dent photographers who could provid
the yearbook and the Public Relation
Office with photos of campus life?"

The prize-winning results of that sug
gestion are shown here. Prizes totalin
$140 were awarded this fall in th
Agnes Scott Student Photography Con
test for the best black and white photo
graphs of faces, places, and activitie
on campus.

Judges for the contest were Stev
Deal, news photographer with the At
lania Journal-Constitution, and Jarro
Lindsey, Jr., director of publication
and printing at Georgia State Uni
versity.

The top prize of $50, for Best i
Show, was awarded to Carolyn Pervii
a junior from Sylacauga, Alabama, fo
her photography of the entrance t
the Dana Fine Arts Building.

Carolyn also won First Place and
cash award of $35 for her picture o
a student being carried to the alumna
pond for a dunking in celebration o
her engagement.

Second Place and a cash award o
$25 went to Lisa Lee for her pictur
of a student walking barefoot in th
rain in front of the library. Lisa is
sophomore from Houston, Texas.

Three Honorable Mentions wer
awarded, each with a cash prize o
$10. Laura Hanson, a sophomore froi
Savannah, Georgia, received tw
Honorable Mentions. One was for
candid shot of a student dressed in
Halloween costume and clowning wit
a friend, and the other for a pictur
of a student studying in bed.

Ellen All, a freshman from Marietti
Georgia, also received Honorable Met
tion. Her still-life photograph symbo
izes life at Agnes Scott.

Economics is of a double nature,
is a social science and, as such,
tempts disinterested objectivity. But
is also a moral philosophy, and for ;
of our search for the "truth" in soci
causality, the attractiveness of
nomics as a study must also be f
its humane content. John Mayna
Keynes noted that economics is
easy subject, at which very few excel
He explains as follows:

The paradox finds its explanation,
perhaps, in that the master-economist
must possess a rare combination of
gifts. He must reach a high standard
in several different directions and
must combine talents not often found
together. He must be a mathema-
tician, historian, statesman, philoso-
pher in some degree. He must con-
template the particular in terms of the
general, and touch abstract and con-
crete in the same flight of thought.
He must study the present in the
light of the past for the purposes of
the future. No part of man's nature
or his institutions must lie entirely
outside his regard. He must be pur-
poseful and disinterested in a simul-
taneous mood; as aloof and incor-
ruptible as an artist, yet sometimes
as near the earth as a politician.!

Given Keynes' catalogue of ingredier

Thus it is that the discipline is both

It would be difficult for anyone

spective which time gives. For examp
thirty years ago it was not possible
take a degree in economics. At th
time, one had to take a degree with
major in economics and sociology, wi
an emphasis on one or the other
the two disciplines. In 1947, throu
an agreement with Emory Universii

less economics. That possibility
niied in force through 1957, but

m was no longer available,
icause so much has happened
le structure of our offerings over
years, and because I think that
s alumnae, are interested in
ge and development in the Col-
curriculum. I have set about a
detailed outline of the change
h this discipline has experienced,
le complete offerings in economics
tch of the years 1947, 1957, 1967,
1977 appear in the chart on the
g page. The offerings have been

grouped into categories set off from
one another by a horizontal line or
lines. There is a core of fundamental
offerings which has not changed in
subject over the thirty-year period sur-
veyed. This essential core is set out in
the rows numbered 1 through 5, with
6 being interrupted by a determination
that, given the development of the dis-
cipline, consumer economics was less
than essential.

Below the double horizontal line, we
note 7 and 8 which continued through
1957 but which were replaced by 9, 10,
and 11 by 1967 and as shown, these
courses continue to the present. The

discontinuation of consumer econom-
ics, the economics of agriculture, and
industrial organization with their re-
placement by microeconomics, macro-
economics, and international economics
reflects the changing nature of the
discipline. The theoretical content of
economics increased rapidly during the
post-war years. By way of indicating
the rate at which the discipline was
growing, consider that the Index of
Economic Journals for the five years
1950-1954 contains 389 pages of list-
ings, whereas the Index for the single
year 1966 contains 449 pages of list-

ings! With such growth in content, the
portion of the department's offerings
carrying a heavy load of theory simply
had to increase. A simple reworking
of the content of existing courses would
not serve.

Almost from the birth of the disci-
pline, mathematics has been an im-
portant methodological tool in the
development of economic theory. How-
ever, until fairly recently, undergrad-
uates who studied the science could
manage without a knowledge of cal-
culus, even if they could not escape
without some knowledge of statistics.
The curriculum of 1947, as indicated in
row 13, contained a departmental
offering in statistics. Economics 205
(Economic and Social Statistics). This
course was not required, but then this
tells us nothing concerning how students
of the time were advised. The style in
1947, unlike current style, was not to
require students to take specific courses
within their major program or pro-
grams. By 1957 we were requiring a
number of courses of the economics
major, including 201, 308, 309, 320,
and 325, and Economic and Social Sta-
tistics was no longer among the listings.
By 1967 the department still did not feel
the need to require statistics of its
majors, but the math department was
offering both a calculus-based and a

simple statistics course, and one would
suppose that students were commonly
advised to take one of these. In addi-
tion, to quote from the catalogue,
"Certain courses in economics and in
business administration at Emory Uni-
versity are open to Agnes Scott stu-
dents and may be counted toward the
major. Recommended courses at Emory
are Economics 203 (Economic De-
velopment), 207 (Development of Eco-
nomic Thought), 228 (Introduction to
Statistical Methods), and Business 210
and 211 (Principles of Acounting)."-
As time and the analytical demands of
the discipline moved ahead, the matter
of mathematics requirements had to be
determined. By 1977 we find that sta-
tistics and calculus are required of the
economics major. In addition, the de-
partment again offers a mathematics-
based course. Economics 330, Mathe-
matical Economics.

Having addressed itself to its disci-
plinary needs respecting theory and
mathematics, the department set about
expanding its offerings in a number of
areas. Courses which had been available
to our students only through the co-
operative arrangement with Emory
were added to our offerings, courses
such as Economics 334 (Theories of
Economic Growth, Development, and
Planning) and Economics 311 and 312
(Accounting and Economic Decision-
Making). In addition, a general survey

of American economic history w
added.

But what of the increasingly loi
demands of our students (and potenti
students) that something be done in f
area of business and management? T
addition of accounting had done som

mands, but, clearly, it was not enoug

led in the fall of 1977 and teaches
rent financial practice as well as the
ancial manager's view of corporate
lity. Also this fall we added a course
Tiarketing.

3ased on our own experience and
gment, and based on the results of a
;stionnaire sent to some 150 business
cutives, it would seem that Agnes
>tt now offers all the courses which
business community would most
; to see in the undergraduate back-
lund of those applying for non-

technical first-level managerial posi-
tions.

We have now seen how the study of
economics both draws on and enriches
the curriculum of a liberal arts college,
and we have examined the recent de-
velopments in our offerings. Now it
only remains that the basic structure of
the present curriculum be set forth.

The offerings of the department can
usefully be placed into four categories.
While these categories are not such that
a course listed in one might not pos-
sibly also fit into another, the classifica-
tion is sufficiently tight to permit the
following:

(continued)

The number of students selecting
economics as their major has grown
greatly over the past five years. This
growth reflects a swing in interests,
stability in staff, and. I believe, the at-
tractiveness of our offerings. While the
major has grown, and while the num-
ber of courses offered in our program
has expanded, the percentage of stu-
dents combining the economics major
with that of another department is also
on the rise. Our majors double with
English, art, mathematics, Bible and
religion, French, Spanish, chemistry,
and other fields. It is a trend which we
strongly encourage, principally for its
broadening but also for its practical
value as a means of increasing the stu-
dent's options following graduation.

Agnes Scott College has never chasec
after fad, and the faculty has movec
with conservative deliberation in ap^
proving curriculum changes. In ar
effort to meet the educational needs oj
the modern woman the Department o:
Economics strives to be innovative ai
well as to respect and adhere to th(
traditional disciplines of the libera
arts. With increasing opportunities fo
women today, many of our student
will seek careers in business, and thi
department is pleased to announce tha
it is included in a "Preparatory Pro
gram for Business" which was approvei
by the faculty when they met Januar
6, 1978. Information to be listed in th
Catalogue will explain:

PREPARATORY PROGRAM FOR BUSINESS

For students interested in business careers, the College has selected from
its curriculum a group of courses designed to familiarize them with the
skills and knowledge to facilitate their entrance into business.

The Program does not alter requirements for graduation; nor does it
constitute a major. Rather, it is designed to serve as an academic bridge
from an undergraduate liberal arts curriculum into business careers.

Students who choose to follow the Program will complete nine of the
courses listed below, including work from at least three disciplines and
including Economics 204, 205, and 311. In addition, they will complete
Mathematics 101 or Mathematics 120. Their official transcript will carry
the notation that they have completed the Preparatory Program for
Business.

)CIATE PROFESSOR of psychology
Copple joined the Agnes Scott fac-
1961 and has been a most
'e member of the campus and
aunding community since that time,
is a Phi Beta Kappa graduate of
University of North Carolina and
ed PhDs in both English from the
/ersity of Michigan and clinical
hology from Vanderbilt University,
belongs to the state, regional, and
snal psychological associations and
served at different times as a con-
mt to the Fulton County Child
dance Clinic, the Atlanta Associa-
of Retarded Citizens, Project
ICUE, the Georgia Education De-
ment, and the DeKalb Evaluation
ic. In addition. Dr. Copple is
ently chairman of the DeKalb
imunity Council and helped to
inize the Decatur Cooperative Min-
'. Prior to coming to Agnes Scott,
aught at Vanderbilt, Hanover Col-
(where he was also Dean of Men
Director of Placement), and
idson College.

Dr. Copple writes a weekly column
for the Highlands, N.C., Highlander.
A collection of his columns entitled
One Man's Highlands was recently
published. He is a long-time fan of
Emily Dickinson's poetry, which was
the subject of his English dissertation,
and in 1976, he conducted a con-
tinuing education program on Dickin-
son for alumnae. He also enjoys gar-
dening, genealogy, and bridge. He
plays bridge weekly with a faculty four-
some consisting of Mollie Merrick.
Leland Staven, Linda Woods, and him-
self. On Saturdays he leads a campus
bridge class for interested students.

Dr. Copple is a native of Albermarle,
N.C. He and his family maintain a
summer residence in Highlands, N.C.
His wife, Margaret, is a psychiatric
nurse at DeKalb General Hospital and
is also a pianist with a master's degree
in music. The Copples have two sons
and a daughter and live on Candler
Street adjacent to the campus. Dr. Cop-
ple is an elder and Sunday School
teacher at Decatur Presbyterian Church.
When asked to share his thoughts on
the greatest problem he sees facing his
discipline today. Dr. Copple had a
ready response:

Our recent hypersensitive awareness
of human rights, with the legal pro-
visions for protection of privacy and
the like, has made it increasingly dif-
ficult to find human subjects for
experiments. Of course, I applaud
the spirit of these moves, but the
net result has been that some of the
captive audiences that used to be
available for perfectly legitimate
study just aren't anymore. And when
you've got to assure 'informed con-
sent' and get your research approved
through the echelons of bureaucracy,
you've got a problem. In psychology,
as in poetry, the proper study of
mankind is man. and if we're back
to white rats or college sophomores
(still available as a 'captive audience'
because they're enrolled in general
psychology courses taught by re-
search-minded professors!), we've got
a problem. If these restrictions on
human experimentation continue,
we'll have a science whose 'truths'
may apply only to white rats and
sophomores, and that's a set-back for
scientific understanding.

Associate Professor of Physical Education,
Emeritus. Llwelhn Wilburn

Alumnae from forty-four graduating
classes, 1919 through 1922, 1926
through 1967, will associate Miss Llew-
ellyn Wilburn with the Agnes Scott
campus scene. She was hired immedi-
ately after being graduated from the
College as instructor of physical educa-
tion. In 1922 she went to Columbia
University to get her master's degree
and instructed in other states. Finally
Agnes Scott prevailed and brought
Llewellyn back to be chairman of the
Physical Education Department, and
here she stayed as kind administrator,
friendly coach, confidante, and coun-
selor until her retirement in 1967.

The year Miss Wilburn retired, she
was honored by the Southern Associa-
tion of Physical Education for College
Women in a citation which states:

At Agnes Scott College, physical
education means Llewellyn Wilburn.
For thousands of alumnae as well as
for members of the current freshman
class she epitomizes the highest stand-
ards of our profession. She had been

comment on the value of physical

participation in physical educati

and a challenging way of life. So
of the outcomes are the maintenai
of health, understanding of self

Mary Wallace Kirk

1889-1978

By Eleanor Huuhcns '40

A COLLEGE lives in its members. The
buildings, the endowment, the library
collection amount only to what they
are used for. The curriculum, the fac-
ulty, the administration, and the student
body, all subject to change, can lose
their distinctive composition unless
enough of them, and enough alumnae
and trustees, carry the idea of the col-
lege in them and keep putting it into
effect. These thoughts, summoned by
the death of Mary Wallace Kirk, lead
to a serious question: how many sur-
vivors will it take to carry the share
of Agnes Scott she kept alive?

She was a trustee for more than
sixty years, possibly longer than anyone
else has ever served on the board of a
college. Nobody is in a position to know
all she did for Agnes Scott. Each of
the four presidents, each of the board
chairmen except the first (George
Washington Scott) shared part of her
tenure, hut no official shared it all.
Several times a year, for generations,
she traveled the three hundred miles
from her home to the campus, not only
for meetings of the whole board but
for vital committee sessions at which
the course of the college was set and
maintained. As a nile. she came sev-
eral days in advance. She staved at the
Alumnae House and spent three days
visiting everybody she knew on campus
and she always knew a good cross-
section to sound out the current state
of affairs. These interviews were full
of merriment but also doubly charged
with purpose: Mary Wallace found out
what was going on at the College and
she broached, to the people she saw,
the issues facing the board and the
complexity of the questions the board
had to decide. By the time of the meet-
ing, she was ready to take an informed
part in the discussion and to bring to it
a sense of campus attitudes toward the
matters in hand.

HER EDUCATION at Agncs Scott
changed! While there are many

ns for the changes, the greatest
tus came from the termination of
oint program with Emory Univer-
n August of 1970. Since that time,
lepartment of education at Agnes

has been in control of its own
ny, a condition at once awesome

xciting.

lis separation has had many rami-
ions. Courses are now offered that

once taught at Emory. Additional
ses have meant significant increases
loldings in the McCain Library,
n comments made by members of
isiting evaluation committee last

the department can take comfort
le fact that it has brought the, col-
on to a more-than-acceptable level,
nother area which has felt the im-

of course increase is the cur-
um laboratory. In 1972 floor space

e lab was doubled, new and dif-
it shelves were added and up-to-

materials were secured. The lab
ys extensive use by students. Mem-

of the department teach as much
he lab as they do in more formal
5room settings. It is a happy cir-
stance that offices are largely lo-
d around the lab so that faculty
nbers are available to students as
' need assistance.

efore 1970, Agnes Scott students
e in public schools on a very lim-

basis prior to student teaching;
lent teaching was arranged by
ory faculty members. For some
rs, the department has been fortu-
; in having a highly productive and
fessional relation with Decatur City
ools. Agnes Scott students are now
)ublic school classrooms as aides and
ervers in every course they take to
;t certification requirements. This
all student teachers will be in
catur schools. This arrangement
ans that faculty members are able

to select a specific teacher for each stu-
dent and have the selection honored a
year in advance of the student teaching
quarter. Thus a student has the ad-
vantage of working with her teacher
for some months before she is in the
school on a full-time basis. It has been
exciting to observe the early profes-
sional maturity such circumstances have
produced. Students have been happier
as a result of knowing their teachers
before assuming responsibility as a stu-
dent teacher.

The first week in February of this
year produced another benefit from
working with Decatur. Dr. Don Grif-
fith called to say that the schools had
fifteen brand new mathematics text-
book series which he would like Agnes
Scott to have for the lab. With the rise
in costs, publishers are increasingly un-
able to donate such materials; our own
budget must cover all areas. The gift,
then, is an addition the department
could not have without the generosity
of the Decatur City Schools.

Faculty members in the department
have also changed. During the time
that the department was linked to
Emory, the director of the then Di-
vision of Teacher Education, John
Goodlad, was also the director of the
Agncs Scott program. He is currently
Dean of the Graduate School of Edu-
cation at UCLA. Others who were as-
sociated with Agnes Scott through
Emory include Dick Henderson, re-
tired, Miriam Howell Jones, living near
Emory, and Newton Hodgson, still
teaching at Emory. Bill Adams who left
Agnes Scott in 1970 is now an assistant
superintendent with DeKalb County.

This year the faculty is comprised of
one full-time and four part-time per-
sons. Assistant Professor Lawrence
Hepburn, Ph.D., Florida State Univer-
sity, is responsible for general second-
ary methods, secondary social studies,

and supervision of secondary social
studies student teaching. He will be
leaving Agnes Scott at the end of this
school year. Associate Professor Hu-
guctte Kaiser, Ph.D., Emory University,
teaches methods in the teaching of for-
eign languages and supervises foreign
language student teachers. Gue Pardue
Hudson, an alumna, teaches science
and mathematics methods for elemen-
tary and secondary students. She also
supervises secondary mathematics and
science student teachers. Gue earned
her M.A.T. from Emory and has done
graduate work at Georgia State Univer-
sity. Professor Margaret W. Pepper-
dene, chairman of the department of
English, taught the methods course for
secondary English students in the fall
quarter. Would that she could become

a permanent addition to this depart-
ment. Her doctorate was taken at Van-
dcrbilt University. Department Chair-
man Margaret P. Ammons, Ph.D.,
University of Chicago, is responsible
for all other elementary methods
courses and, for the first time, a course
in curriculum theory. Elementary stu-
dent teachers are also her responsibility.
As is always true, students and teach-
ing are the core of all that she does at
Agnes Scott.

There is still no major in education
at Agnes Scott, a condition soundly
supported by the department's faculty.
The chairman, who has taught at an
institution which had such a major, be-
lieves the depth and quality of teaching
exhibited by a liberal arts graduate is
so superior to that displayed by a major

The final two weeks of the

Although the department
abreast of current trends in tej
education, it is as selective about
ones which are adopted as the
will allow. At the present time,
faculty hears an inordinate am
about competency-based teacher ec
tion. CBTE is an attempt to specif
those skills, attributes, and techni
every teacher should possess. The
partment believes that the list
consideration is too general and
superficial to describe a gradual

composed a set of "competen

In recent years the College ha

department. Not only are they us(

found this technique helpful in d(

awaited by this department. The

been gratifying to see the extent of
ent use and the highly creative and
listicated activities they have sub-
ed.

'ith all the buffeting from the
etimes uncertain winds of change,
ibers of the department try to se-
or reject particular changes in rela-
te the purpose of the program,
he purpose of teacher education at
as Scott College is to provide a
;ram which will prepare teachers

hing and whose academic back-
ind affords them both a strong lib-
education and the skills and atti-
;s of a life-long learner. Addition-
the purpose is to offer students

ty to grasp, and in some cases, to
theoretical ideas about teaching

the opportunity to translate respon-
: theory into acceptable practice,

)ry and set of practices but to open
ach student as many possibilities as
congruent with the general pur-
s of the College and the program
eacher education, so that she may
cise wise and informed choices as a
her.

'inally. what are the job prospects for
duates of the program? It is almost
ruism that those Agnes Scott alum-
who are qualified and who want to
ch, teach. This has been true even

during the lean years of the seventies.
Officials at the Georgia Department of
Education are assured that the job
market will improve significantly and
steadily over the ne.xt few years, a cir-
cumstance which suggests even better
prospects for graduates than has been
true recently.

Many of the elementary students
have found pleasant positions in private
schools in the last two years. Others
are working in federally-funded pro-
grams in such special areas as reading.

Other graduates have followed dif-
ferent paths. One was named Out-
standing Young Educator in a fairly
large town in Alabama. Another has
been named a Model Teacher in the
Atlanta area. Two have been encour-
aged to become principals. One has
become a supervisor in a federal proj-
ect. One has done college teaching. A
second-year teacher has been em-
ployed as a math and science coordi-
nator for a county's gifted children's
program. Another was selected for a
special program in Hungary. Finally,
two have had student teachers from
Agnes Scott and have proved to be ex-
cellent models.

If these graduates serve as an indi-
cator of the health of the program, the
foregoing seems to say that it is alive
and well. When one works with stu-
dents who possess the qualities that
Agnes Scott students possess, it is dif-
ficult to have it any other way. A

Alumnae House
Hostess Retires

Ela Curry, hostess in the Anna
Young Alumnae House, will be
returning to her home at 4426
East Brookfield Drive, Nashville,
Tennessee, after serving more than
twenty-two years on the College
staff.

She assisted former Dean of
Students Carrie Scandrett for six-
teen years before she retired the
first time. Then in 1972 President
Alston and Director of Alumnae
Affairs Barbara Pendleton called
her back to campus to be the of-
ficial hostess in the alumnae guest
house. And there she has stayed
ever since, returning to the cam-
pus early after each vacation to
open the house for parents bring-
ing their daughters to school and
remaining at the College a few
days after school's closing each
year to put the house in order for
the summer months.

A great lady, she will be re-
membered for her hospitality and
her efficiency and for the loving
kindness she extends to all her
associates.

On the Campus

Student Interns with
Count}^ Government

Agnes Scott students may, with fac-
ulty approval, design their own work
internships related to their academic
studies. Cheryl Houy, a senior political
science major, has developed an intern-
ship with the government of DeKalb
County, in which the College is located.
She is working for DeKalb County
Commissioner Lianc Levctan under the
academic supervision of Dr. Gus Coch-
ran of the Agnes Scott History and
Political Science Department.

As an intern, Cheryl spend part of
her time in the DeKalh Coimty Court-
house in Decatur, only three blocks
from the Agnes Scott campus. She said
she accompanies Mrs. Levetan "to all
the meetings, including county commis-
sion meetings and hearings closed to
the public.

"On some days," Cheryl said, "I go
into downtown Atlanta to the State
Capitol to help Mrs. Levctan lobby in
the State Legislature for or against
bills affecting DeKalb County. At other
times I handle public relations activi-
ties and inquiries from Mrs. Levetan's
constituents."

Cheryl works irregular and long
hours which sometimes continue until
late at night. She said, however, that
she enjoys the work "immensely."

"Nothing is more educational than
actually seeing government at work,"
vhe said.

In addition to working, Cheryl is
reading about the history and organiza-
tion of County government and writ-
ing a paper on county government. She
will earn eight quarter hours of aca-
demic credit for her internship and
academic work.

PrintmakingLab
'One of the Best'

Art students at Agnes Scott can now
work in "one of the best equipped
printmaking laboratories in a college
in the Southeast" according to Profes-
sor Leland Staven, who teaches print-
making.

DcKtilh Cdiinly iiucin Cheryl lUuiy (ris;l\l), ii senior polilical science major al Aiine

The newly renovated laboratory
boasts three motorized presses, two
vacuum-operated silk screen machines,
a photography darkroom and numer-
ous drying racks.

"It is exceptional for a college to have
as many as three presses for classes of
our size," Professor Staven stated.
Most printmaking classes at Agnes
Scott are limited to 10 students.

The motorized presses are also un-
usual for a college printmaking labora-
tory; most college classes have to crank
their presses by hand.

Pointing out the signficance of the
other laboratory equipment. Professor
Staven said, "The vacuum-operated silk
screen machines can print as many
colors as desired in one four-second
operation. On the older machines the
artist could print only one color at a

time and each time had to register
colors.

"The darkroom," he said, "is equip
with a copy camera, a deep-bed p
maker and a thermostatically contrc
sink. A student can use the camer;
photograph any materials she w
and then add this photo negative
her printing plate. The deep-bed p
maker is used to transfer this imag
the printing plate. After imprinting
photo image, any of the standard e
ing processes can be used to put n
images on the plate."

In the printmaking course, stud
learn basic etching and silk screei
techniques. Now that the labora
is equipped with a darkroom, stud
can also learn photographic proce
that can be used in combination '
etching and silk screen techniques.

I MANY ALUMNAE, the Students for
ck Awareness (SBA) is an unknown
It of the Agnes Scott scene. This is
case because of the relative newness
our organization which was formed
I years ago. The purpose of this or-
lization is ( 1 ) to organize Black His-
y Week observances, (2) to plan ac-
ties which will promote the social
airs of black Agnes Scott students and
) to participate in campus and com-
inity affairs.
SBA is a growing organization whose

scope has expanded since its inception.
This fall we sponsored a chapel featur-
ing Rev. Joseph E. Lowery, president of
the Southern Christian Leadership Con-
ference (SCLC). As a part of our Black
History Week observance in February,
we sponsored a Gospel Concert featur-
ing the Lonnie Young Gospel Choir of
Smith Chapel AME, the Chancel Choir
of St. Paul Luthern Church and the
Youth Choir of Thankful Baptist
Church. Mrs. Isabel Stewart, a Wellesley
graduate and wife of the president of
Spelman College, spoke on "Changing
Women" at the Black History Convo-
cation.

This organization emphasizes to the
Agnes Scott community, the significant
contributions and perspectives of the
black culture.

Students Research
With Faculty

The Chemistry Department of Agnes
Scott College and Georgia State Uni-
versity in Atlanta will offer their under-
graduate chemistry majors the oppor-
tunity this summer to conduct research
with faculty. This Undergraduate Re-
search Participation Program is funded
by a grant from the National Science
Foundation. The grant provides, in ad-
dition to materials and overhead ex-
penses, a $900 stipend for each student
for ten weeks.

According to Dr. Marion Clark,
chairman of the Agnes Scott Chemistry
Department, the program "gives stu-
dents the opportunity to experience
full-time research activity in the com-
pany of professional scientists. It is also
an opportunity for students to discover
whether or not they are truly interested
in scientific research," he said.

"Students will be encouraged to plan
and conduct their own experiments on
some aspect of research projects being
conducted by faculty members," ex-
plained Dr. Clark. "In bi-weekly sem-
inars the students will describe their
projects and report and discuss results
of experiments. Specialized equipment
and consultation with faculty at both
Agnes Scott and Georgia State will be
available to all students," he concluded.

Agnes Scott will be allowed to select
two students and two faculty members
to participate in the ten-week program.
Preference is given to chemistry majors
who will be seniors next fall.

Agnes Scott's Chemistry Department
is one of a very few departments in
Georgia that has been accepted for the
National Science Foundation's Under-
graduate Research Participation Pro-
gram. This is the fifth time since 1971
that Agnes Scott and Georgia State's
Chemistry Departments have been
awarded this particular grant.

Focus on Faculty Past and Present

Dr. Penelope Campbell

It can never be overstated that Agnes
Scott is blessed with a fine faculty
whose dedication to students and intel-
lectual competence are responsible in
large part for the College's reputation
for academic excellence. One who ex-
emplifies this image is Associate Pro-
fessor of History and Political Science
Penelope Campbell.

A native of Bishop. Maryland, Dr.
Campbell received her B.A. from Bay-
lor University and her M.A. and Ph.D.
from Ohio State University. Having
come to Agnes Scott in 1965. she has
been especially interested in teaching
non-western history. Her professional
memberships include the American
Historical Association, the African
Studies Association and the Association
for Asian Studies.

Dr. Campbell has traveled exten-
sively in sub-Saharan Africa and has
participated in three summer institutes
on Indian civilization in India. She is
the author of Maryland in Africa, pub-
lished in 1971, and is now completing
research on early Protestant missions
in equatorial West Africa.

Following are her remarks on the
sudden American interest in Africa:

As a faculty member at a liberal arts
college where the humanities are valued
for their intrinsic worth, I have always
hoped that Americans would come to

appreciate African civilization for its
inherent merit. Yet, it seems that we
pay little attention to any nation or
continent until our self-interest appears
threatened. While it is gratifying today
to see an interest in African affairs,
it is disturbing to think that our con-
cern is linked largely to economic as-
pects, especially the purchase of such
natural resources as oil. "Human
rights" is a nice slogan, but easily
debatable: being able to drive our autos
is a freedom which we all claim. I am
eager for Americans to become fasci-
'nated with Africa and with that
larger world out there simply be-
cause it exists. I believe that a study
of African culture will enhance our
lives, providing concepts and examples
relevant to our experiences. I want
everyone to have the enthusiasm for
A frica which I have!

Although Ferdinand Warren i

remain active. He and his vivacio
wife, Wilma, live just behind Agr
Scott, at 227 E. Hancock St., in
charming cottage filled with Mr. W<

This work has been chiefly in ena

after such a long and successful care
Mr. Warren is involved with maki

These works of art are still bei

Alumnae Study Charleston Sites

On the cold and drizzly day of March
3, forty-three intrepid souls, alumnae,
husbands and friends, set out from
Decatur for a bus tour of historic
Charleston. A stop for lunch in Au-
gusta at the Green Jacket Restaurant,
frequented in season by the interna-
tional golf fraternity, afforded a view
of the Master's course often seen on
television screens. When the bus ar-
rived at the Mills-Hyatt Hotel in
Charleston, there was a slight delay on
entering occasioned by an encounter
with the filming crew and actors of the
upcoming movie, The Double McGuf-
fin, who a few weeks earlier had been
a familiar sight on the Agnes Scott
campus. The Mills-Hyatt is a rebuilt
version of the old Mills House, a
center of ante-bellum life in Charles-
ton. The group met with Charleston
alumnae at dinner in the hotel's private

By Josephine Brhlanuin '27

dining room to hear a talk by Jack
Leiand, a contributor to The Charles-
ton Evening Post, who described the
history, customs and traditions of the
old city.

Saturday morning brought a com-
bined coach and walking tour of his-
toric downtown Charleston, including
the battery, old gardens and streets,
beautiful exteriors of old homes and a
tour through the Nathaniel Russell
House, built and furnished in 1809,
an outstanding example of Adam-
style architecture. A trip out to Mid-
dleton for lunch was followed by a
visit to the present Middleton home,
rebuilt from the left wing of the
original plantation home, largely de-
stroyed by fire during the Civil War,
and a walk through the magnificent
garden designed and begun in 1741,
the first landscaped garden in America.

Our guide for the day was Mrs. Joseph
Young, recommended as the city's best,
and surely the most knowledgeable and
contagiously enthusiastic guide one
could imagine. Saturday evening was
unscheduled and gave an opportunity
for enjoyment of restaurants, from the
old stand-by Henry's, to the new,
award-winning Perditas, all serving
she-crab soup.

Sunday was dazzlingly beautiful, and
with only a few hours left, the group
scattered, some to Drayton House and
the Magnolia gardens, some to down-
town churches, others to more historic
homes and gardens. One o'clock de-
parture time came all too soon.

The trip was planned by Sylvia
Williams Ingram '52, a member of the
Georgia Trust for Historical Preserva-
tion and Alumnae Association Chair-
man for Continuing Education.

Forly-lhree alumnae view historic city on continuing education tour.

Warren time for other activities be-
sides art. He plays golf with Ron
Wilde and Leland Staven of the ASC
faculty. He and Mrs. Warren enjoy
their neighbors, Carrie Scandrett, Cath-
erine Omwake, and the Henry Robin-
sons. And they travel to Athens or
the mountains when the weather is
pretty.

Mr. Warren also claims, laughingly,
that his trash hauling, leaf raking,
house painting, and garden planting
activities are all an exercise in creativ-
ity. Considering the ingenuity he brings
to everything he does, that's probably
the truth.

Mary Wallace Kirk

(Continued from page 1)

At one critical period several decades
ago, there was a clear danger that the
College would fall under anti-intellec-
tual control. It was Mary Wallace Kirk,
with the very few other alumnae on
the board at that time, who saved the
identity of Agnes Scott. The struggle
was tense, at times desperate, and went
on for months. Mary Wallace was
deeply alarmed, but she never lost her
head or even her temper. Patiently talk-
ing away in that beautifully modulated
voice of hers, she made the rounds of
her uncommitted fellow trustees again
and again, explaining the nature of the
peril and gradually convincing them of
its reality. Another kind of person
would have charged furiously into bat-
tle, stiffened the opposition, and loudly
lost. She held firmly in mind the fact
and it was a fact that those who
posed the threat were acting from mo-
tives as high as hers. They simply did
not put the College first, as a college,
but wanted to make it serve ends it
could not serve without sacrificing its
academic integrity. These ends were
not in themselves bad, but they were
not those of a college. Mary Wallace
made this difficult point clear and
finally evoked heroic support from
some trustees who were under excru-
ciating pressure to vote the other way.
Of all her contributions to Agnes Scott,
this must have been the greatest.

At times when the essence of the Col-
lege seemed secure, Mary Wallace tried
to encourage what she called the ameni-
ties on campus. As president of the
Alumnae Association in the early 1920's
she oversaw the building of the Alum-
nae House. She and fellow officers,
in expanding the Association to na-
tional scope from the Atlanta-Decatur
club it had been, had investigated the
alumnae organizations of several East-
ern colleges and had heard that Vassar
had a guest house for alumnae. They
enlisted the interest of Dr. Frank
Gaines, the president of Agnes Scott,
and with a grant from the board of
trustees built the first alumnae house
in the South, the second in the nation.
They established the policy that the
Alumnae House and its garden should
be maintained by alumnae volunteers as
an especially attractive part of the
campus, which in the 1920's and 1930's

was austere to the point of bleakness.
I don't know how much Mary Wallace
had to do with the changes that brought
color and better design to the campus
as a whole, but I know she advocated
them and also worked for an expanded
art program. As an artist herself, whose
etchings had appeared successfully in
a dozen exhibits from Connecticut to
California, she could put more than
enthusiasm into the effort. She pub-
lished poetry too, and was interested
in creative writing by students and
faculty. But balancing her aesthetic
understanding was a thoroughgoing
practicality: as a farmer, she was real-
istic about money, and she supported
a sound, conservative fiscal policy that
protected Agnes Scott from damaging
emergencies and made long-range plan-
ning possible.

She was born the year Agnes Scott
was foimded. She grew up in the
friendly big old house in Tuscumbia,
Alabama, where she lived for the rest
of her life. As an only child petted by
a large Southern household of three
generations and several memorable
servants, she grew up happy. Her
grandfather. General John D. Rather,
a prominent lawyer and the retired
president of a railroad, used to drive
her to school every day in his phaeton,
call for her at noon, and come again
for her in the afternoon. When she
went to Agnes Scott, her mother wrote
to her every day, and her most delicate
clothes were sent home to the family
laundress. This sort of backing can
sap or strengthen, depending on what
circumstances I don't pretend to know,
but the Kirks and Rathers must have
known. Mary Wallace's record in col-
lege was so good that she was elected
to Phi Beta Kappa when Agnes Scott
got its chapter years after her gradua-
tion, and she was so outstanding a per-
son that when she was still in her
twenties she became one of the first
two alumnae to be elected to the board
of trustees.

A picture of Mary Wallace at the
age of two shows the expression that
characterized her face eighty-five years
later: smiling, expectant, looking up
and forward. The picture appears in her
book Locust Hill, a radiant reminis-
cence of her house and the generations

that lived there. To visit her there, i
the comfort of the house and tl
beauty of the garden, was to wond
that she ever left it. But she did, n
only for Agnes Scott but for war woi
in the First World War and then f(
travel abroad. If you pressed her
tell you about her latest trip, it wou
turn out that she had spent part of tl
time with Bernard Berenson or Eliz
beth Bowen or a Scottish classicist (
an Irish painter. Friends from dista
parts of the world would make the
way to Tuscumbia to see her. She w
as little provincial as it is possible f(
anyone with roots to be. I wish I cou
find a letter she wrote me in 19'
when I was studying for the summ
at Oxford. It consisted mainly of a 1:
of hooks she hoped I could find f
her; they were not available in Americ
and were not reatlily to be come 1
even in England. Contemporary art
all sorts, especially fiction and poet
by unpublicized writers, made up t
bulk of it. I put it all in the lap
BlackwelTs, and I may have just givi
them her letter. I have looked for
in the hope of reproducing it here,
partial evidence of her interests.

Mary Wallace was a stalwart Prt
byterian. She taught Sunday schoc
held local and state office, and lovi
her church in Tuscumbia, which h
ancestors had helped to establish at
in which generations of her family h
grown up. A severe trial of her lat
vears came when the congregation
this church, with the sole exception
Mary Wallace, decided to leave t
national body. She voted firmly agaii
the move, but took defeat with gra(
Sad but without rancor, she transferr
her membership to the church in Fk
ence and continued in her cheerf
faith. At her funeral there, her lo
for Agnes Scott was coupled in t

church, and the townspeople I met tc

arithmetic, the question is unansw(

us will have to try harder. Her equal,
a single enduring embodiment of t
College, may never come. A

Letters

Mary Wallace Kirk was a life-long resi-
dent of Tuscumbia, Alabama. She was
unquestionably its "first citizen." Her ante-
bellum family home. Locust Hill, is lo-
cated in the midst of a city block covered
with English boxwoods, blooming flowers
in season, and numerous trees of locust,
magnolia and evergreen families. Loving
her heritage as she did, she fought to keep
her home and grounds run as they always
had been run, even with the increasing
difficulty of finding adequate domestic
help.

But the small town of Tuscumbia could
not completely contain a person of Mary
Wallace's stature. She was revered and
claimed by our entire Muscle Shoals area.
Until her later years, she was in constant
demand as a speaker for study clubs and
historical, art or political groups. The list
of the many guests who enjoyed her hos-
pitality included famous people from this
country and abroad.

Mary Wallace was active in her church.
Until three weeks before her death, she
was in regular attendance at a Bible study
class which I also attended. Her contribu-
tions to our class discussions showed her
broad knowledge of the Bible and Church
History. She felt a vital interest and con-
cern for our church at large, and was a
person of deep Christian conviction.

But I believe that, among the people
who knew her well, foremost in their
minds was the fact that she was an Agnes
Scott alumna-trustee. Her enthusiasm for
her beloved college never flagged. At her
funeral, one of our ministers remarked,
"She loved her alma mater, Agnes Scott,
where she turned from a young girl into a

young woman, and which she served as a
devoted trustee for over half a century."

Surely, our community feels the loss of
a valuable citizen. However, in the days
immediately following her death, the
thought that came to me many times was:
Agnes Scott has lost one of its most de-
voted "daughters."

Mary Hollingsworth Hatfield '39

Florence, Alabama

The brief insert in the winter Quarterly
telling of the death of Mary Wallace Kirk
filled me with sadness, for I feel Agnes
Scott has lost her most devoted alumna.
Those of us who have worked in alumnae
activities are aware of her constant, un-
tiring, working effort to make Agnes Scott
a leader among women's colleges and of
her generous financial support for this
goal.

It was my privilege to present to Miss
Kirk Agnes Scott's first award to an
alumna distinguished for her service to the
College and to review her very interesting
and remarkable career, all of which I am
sure are enumerated in the promised
tribute.

It was not my pleasure to know Miss
Kirk intimately, but only where our
alumnae activities brought us together; yet
I loved her for all she stood for loyalty
to her church, her community, and Agnes
Scott. With her passing we all lose a great
lady whose priorities should inspire us all.

I WANT TO THANK all of yoii who have
elected me President of the Agnes Scott
Alumnae Association. I most humbly
accept this office and hope that I can
be of some service to the College and
to the Agnes Scott community in gen-
eral.

Four very important years of my
life were spent at Agnes Scott. At the
College, I increased and expanded m\
book and subject knowledge. The
friendships that I made and the spirit
of loyalty which I developed have be-
come a part of me for all these many
years. During my college days and in
the intervening years, my thoughts and
actions often were simply reactions of
what I learned at Agnes Scott. Through-
out my professional life, I have been
involved in international issues and
political problems; I have had to work
with people of all sorts on complex
issues, and I have had to fight and hold
firm to what I believed to be correct. I
learned to think out, take a position,
and then to stick to it at Agnes Scott. I
learned this by arguing with my friends
in Rebekah, by writing a column in the
Agnes Scott News, by debating in
Presser and during some very long
meals in the Dining Hall.

Some of my fellow classmates at
Agnes Scott did not see things as 1 did.
But we did not hesitate to try to sway
and convince each other.

Now, many years later, I am still
grateful to those girls who sat up until
all hours thinking and talking with me.
We grew and developed as we talked,
and that is what college is for.

In all truthfulness, I am still arguing
and still discussing. I hope that we
can have a few "arguments" in the
Quarterly. Write to me and let me
know do you favor E.R.A.? How do
some Agnes Scott graduates feel about
abortion or the Bakke decision? For

some of us it will be like old times
(that old '50's nostalgia) to debate an
issue; but even if you and I have never
had a set-to, please write, and let's start
an Alumnae Dialogue. Where do you,
Agnes Scott graduates, stand on im-
portant issues? What are you arguing
about and discussing?

Agnes Scott College was (when I was
there) and still is a thinking-woman's
school. Please let us know what you are
thinking; and, guaranteed, I'll let you
know what I think. Thank you, again,
for electing me and let's make my term
as President of the Alumnae Associ-
ation an exciting and opinion-filled two
years.

The Department of English

By Margaret W. Pepperdene

Margaret Pepperdene chairs the Department of English.

The ENGLISH DEPARTMENT of 1978 is

the phoenix that rose from the ashes of
twelve years ago when, in less than
two years' time, the death of Professor
Ellen Douglass Leybiirn, the retire-
ments of Professors George Hayes and
Janef Preston, and the resignations for
personal reasons of Professors Mary
Rion and Eleanor Hutchens left the de-
partment with only four of its former
nine faculty members. Those of us who
were left agreed that in spite of the
difficulty in finding so many new fac-
ulty at once, we would not sacrifice
our departmental curriculum to ex-
pediency; and so, some of us taught

courses outside our usual fields while
we tried to find faculty of high quality
in the special areas of teaching we
needed. The English majors gave us
great support in this effort, helping to
interview candidates, giving us their
considered judgment of the candidates,
and providing responsible evaluations of
new faculty who joined the department.
Unfortunately, there had to be some
fluctuation in faculty personnel for a
few years while we tried to keep only
the best of those we appointed. Then,
when we thought the department was at
last stabilized, falling enrollments in the
freshman classes required that we cut

lish, also joined our faculty in 1967
and teaches the courses in Shakespeare
and creative writing. Mr. Ball has pub-

Mr. Jack L. Nelson (Ph. D., Har-
vard University), Professor of English,
joined the English faculty in 1962. He
is a Danforth Fellow. For many years
he was Reader for the English Essay
and Achievement portion of the Ad-

team, first in 1966 when, together with
Professor Hutchcns, he coached the
team to its nationally televised victory
over Princeton University, and in the
past few years at the Southeastern In-
vitational College Bowl. In 1969, on
behalf of the department, Mr. Nelson
contacted the English faculties of Eng-
lish and Scottish universities and ar-

ranged for our English majors to study
at these universities in their junior year.
He continues to serve as director of
this very successful program for our
majors. Mr. Nelson regularly attends
the meetings of The English Institute
and this summer he is attending the
Annual Wordsworth Summer Confer-
ence at Grasmcre, Cumbria, England,
directed by Richard Wordsworth and
led by such scholars as William Emp-
son, Basil Willey, and Geoffrey Hart-
man.

Mrs. Margaret W. Pepperdene (Ph.
D., Vanderbilt University), Ellen Doug-
lass Leyburn Professor of English and
Chairman of the department since 1967,
joined the English faculty in 1956 to
teach medieval literature. She is a
Guggenheim Fellow, a Fulbright Fel-
low, a Ford Foundation Fellow, and
an A.A.U.W. Fellow and also held a
Fellowship at the Dublin Institute for
Advanced Studies for post-doctoral
study. She has published a number of
scholarly articles on medieval literature
and recently edited That Subtile Wreath,
lectures presented at the Quartercen-
tenary Celebration of the Birth of John
Donne held at Agnes Scott in 1972. In
the past few years Mrs. Pepperdene
has lectured at neighboring colleges and
universities, including Georgia South-
ern, Georgia Southwestern, Converse,
and Mississippi State on the importance
and meaning of liberal and humane
learning and has published a mono-
graph on this subject, "To Perfect and
Equip the Man," in The Humanist in
His World. Essays in Honor of Fielding
Dillard Russell. She also recently par-
ticipated in the Community Forum on
Literacy, sponsored by the State of
North Carolina and held in Charlotte,
and taught a seminar session at Val-
dosta State on Robert Frost.

by the quality of student they attract
and by the opinion of those students
as to the worth of their English major
to them both professionally and per-
sonally. Our English majors have al-
ways been and continue to be among
the finest students in the College. They
have consistently dominated the Honor
Rolls and the lists of those graduating
each year With Honor and With High
Honor. For instance, in the Class of
1975, seven graduated With High
Honor and six With Honor; in the
Class of 1976, two graduated With
High Honor and four With Honor;
and in the Class of 1977, five graduated
With High Honor and two With Honor.

demic world." These two former
lish majors were selected for men-

here only because their distinction
nost recent. All of the others have

contributed significantly to the aca-
demic profession and continue to do so.

In addition to those receiving or
about to receive doctoral degrees are
about thirty (by my rough count!) who
have earned the M.A. degree in Eng-
lish in the past twelve years from
excellent graduate schools over the
country and eleven who have earned
the M.A.T. degree in English or Special
Education from the University of Lon-
don, Vanderbilt, Duke, Brown, and
Harvard. It is impossible to keep an
accurate record of the activities and
studies of all our majors who aver-
age in number some 32 in each rising
junior class over the past twelve years
but we do know of two who have
taken advanced degrees in theology
from Princeton, another who is work-
ing toward a theology degree at Union,
two who have taken degrees in journa-
lism from Northwestern and Georgia,
and two who have taken advanced de-
grees in social work from Smith and
Wayne State. One of our graduates in
the Class of 1978 has been accepted
for graduate study in English literature
and theology at Harvard University
next fall and another from the Class of
1975 will enter The Johns Hopkins
University next fall to begin work to-
ward her Ph.D. in English literature.

The increasing opportunities for
women in the legal profession in the
past few years have attracted a number
of our English majors and it has been
very satisfying to have every one of

them accepted by the law school of her
choice. There are now fourteen of our
majors who have earned law degrees
or who are in law school at the Uni-
versity of Chicago, Georgetown, Vir-
ginia, Duke, Emory, Vanderbilt, Ala-
bama, Florida, and South Carolina, of
whom more than half graduated within
the past five years. One major, who
earned the M.A. degree in English at
the University of Rochester and, after
working a year with a law firm, de-
cided to enter the legal profession and
was admitted this spring to the Uni-
versity of Virginia Law School; she
wrote about her decision:

If I enjoy studying law half as much
as I like my present job, I shall be
very happy indeed. Working for a law
firm has allowed me to use my edu-
cation, creative ability, and talents I
never knew I had. I would not take

a million dollars for my liberal arts

background.

It is from these majors who have
earned advanced degrees in the best
graduate and professional schools in
the country that we know the value of
our curriculum as a preparation for a
variety of professions. Many of our
former majors took their qualifying
examinations for advanced degrees in
English in fields of literature they had
studied only at Agnes Scott and not
on the graduate level. For example, any
number of students taking final exami-
nations for the M.A. degree or qualify-
ing examinations for the doctoral de-
gree at Stanford, Harvard, Indiana, and
Pennsylvania have written to say that
they stood these tests on Chaucer's
poetry or the Romantic poets or Shake-
speare's tragedies or Milton or Pope or
American literature on the basis of
courses they took as undergraduates.
Many of them based their doctoral
dissertations on topics they first worked
on at Agnes Scott in independent study
or in a particular course. A director of
graduate studies at a leading mid-
western university recently annoimced
to his class of first year graduate stu-
dents that the best prepared students
in their graduate English program came
from Agnes Scott.

With a curriculum that has proved to
be excellent preparation for the pro-
fessions without being pre-professional,
the department thinks that this curricu-
lum is also good preparation for our
majors who plan to enter careers in
business or industry on the managerial
level. The department is emphasizing
to its majors the value of their kind of
education to a career of leadership in
business and we are making efforts to
alert business leaders in the community
to the quality of our majors. For next
year we are planning an "internship" or
"on-job experience" for one or two of
our outstanding majors for the final
quarter of the senior year. We hope to
place these students with publishing
houses, newspapers, magazines, public
relations or advertising firms, or specif-

ic departments of Atlanta businesses
that can utilize their skills in analysis,
research, and writing. This "internship"
will in no way alter our curriculum
since a student must have completed
all major requirements and a minimum
of 52 hours in English before she is
eligible for it.

In the past three years, in addition
to the basic English major and several
inter-departmental majors, the English
department has offered a major in Eng-
lish and Creative Writing. For many
years there were a few courses in cre-
ative writing taught by Miss Janef
Preston and Miss Margret Trotter, but
these courses were electivcs and did not
form part of the English major. It was

ring the 1960's there were two
dest writers' workshops, both of
ch were part of campus-wide Arts
tivals. Some of you will recall that
t workshop with May Sarton, James
key, and Hollis Summers; others

remember the second, with John
rdi and Flannery O'Connor. Then,
1972. when Miss Sarton returned to

campus to teach Miss Trotter's
rses while she was on leave, the
artment took advantage of her
sence to plan its first real Writers'
tival, financed by Arts Council,
Z, and the editors of Aurora. Our
er guests for that occasion were
:hael Mott, poet-in-residence at
ory University, and Marion Mont-
lery, writer-in-residence at the Uni-
ity of Georgia.

his first Festival proved such a suc-
; that we planned another in the
ng of 1973 and President Alston
vided funds for us to bring Robert
n Warren and George Garrett as
sts for this occasion. This second
tival was an unforgettable event; we

decided we had to have a Festival every
year and find some regular way to fi-
nance it. In 1974 President Perry allo-
cated money for the Festival and we
were able to bring back Hollis Summers
and to invite Larry Rubin, poet-in-resi-
dence at Georgia Tech. In 1975 we had
our own modest budget and invited as
our guests Richard Eberhardt and Jo-
sephine Jacobscn. Miss Jacobsen's lec-
ture, "One Poet's Poetry," was so
moving a statement on the making and
meaning of poems that the department
published it, thanks to President Perry's
generosity, under the editorship of Mr.
Ball.

When Mr. Ball assumed the director-
ship of the Festival in 1975, he and
Miss Trotter made arrangements with
the Academy of American Poets where-
by, through the Preston Poetry Prize
Fund, the Academy would cooperate
in granting awards to winners of the
competition in the Festival. The Acad-
emy now awards $100 to the winner
of the poetry contest and the privilege
of being included in the Academy's

periodic collection of academic verse.
In addition, there is a prize offered by
the College to the winner of the fiction
contest and honoring Janef Preston.
In 1976, Eleanor Hutchens, an alumna
and former member of the English
faculty, established two prizes of $100
each in honor of her grandparents for
the best short story and best poem sub-
mitted to the Festival each year. With
the outstanding guests v/e bring each
year and the handsome prizes awarded,
the number of students from Georgia
colleges and universities competing at
the Festival continues to increase and
the quality of work submitted to im-
prove.

Anticipating Miss Trotter's retire-
ment in June 1977, the English depart-
ment planned the Writers' Festival that
year in her honor. Considering the
nature of this occasion, we asked Miss
Eudora Welty to come as our guest to
honor Miss Trotter and she graciously
agreed to do so. We also invited Guy
Davenport, poet-scholar of the Univer-
sity of Kentucky, and issued a return
Invitation to Josephine Jacobsen. Al-
though we were all saddened by Miss
Trotter's death just a few weeks before
the Festival, we continued with our
plans to dedicate the Festival to her,
doing what we all knew she would
most approve celebrating together
the making of poems and stories. Miss
Welty's reading, a passage about the
teacher from Losing Battles, was the
most moving moment of the occasion,
the perfect tribute to a woman who had
given her life to teaching.

With the growing success of the
Festivals and the continuing need for
greater financial support, Mr. Ball ap-
plied for grants from the National En-
dowment for the Humanities and the
Georgia Arts Council, and the Festival
was partially funded by the N.E.H. in
1977 and by both the N.E.H. and
G.A.C. in 1978. If we can continue to
get such financial support, we hope to
bring Joyce Carol Oates year after next
and, when they come to this country,

It goes without saying that the Wri-
ters" Festival has given strength to our
program in creative writing. Our own
students regularly enter stories and
poems in the competition and regularly
win recognition. They had long mo-
nopolized the category of the critical
essay at the Southern Literary Festival,
having won first place in that area al-
most every year since the early sixties,
but they seldom placed in or even en-
tered ony of the categories of creative
writing. Not so anymore! In the last
three years they have won firsts in
both playwriting and short story
competitions at this long established
Festival.

No account of the activities of the
English department during the last
decade would be complete without
some mention of the two celebrations
we have sponsored and which were
unique in the history of the department
and of the College: the Quarterccnten-
ary Celebration of the Birth of John

Donne, held February 24-25, 1972; the
Robert Frost Centennial: A Celebra-
tion of the Poet, 1874-1974, held Octo-
ber 15-16. 1974.

The idea of honoring the 400th anni-
versary of John Donne's birth was the
suggestion of Professor Pinka. She rec-
ommended that we have a lecture in
his honor. The notion of a single lec-
ture grew into that of a two-day sym-
posium to which scholars came from
all over this country and Canada. In
the course of our planning President
Wallace M. Alston, who was the most
enthusiastic supporter of and partici-
pant in the occasion, decided that these
lectures in honor of John Donne would
be the appropriate inauguration of the
James Ross McCain Lecture Series,
established in honor of the distinguished
former president of the College. The
Celebration was an unforgettable twenty-
four hours! President Alston opened
the symposium with a welcome to
guests and participants and from that
moment on the focus was on the three
lectures presented by Professor Frank

Manley of Emory University, who
the editor of Donne's Anniversari
Professor Louis L. Martz of Yale U
versify, who has done some of the m
significant scholarship on Donne a
whose book. The Poetry of Meditatii
is a seminal study, and Professor 1
tricia G. Pinka, our own specialist
Donne. This scholarly feast was (
riched further by a program of sev(
teenth-century music set to Donn
lyrics and performed by Miss Sa
Martin, a student at Agnes Scott, a
Mr. Lou Aull, lutenist. This mu
program was planned and prepared
Professor Margret Trotter. The recf
tion following Professor Martz's lecti
on the evening of February 24th was
glorious birthday party, complete w
a 400-candled cake and the voices
hundreds of Agnes Scott students, t
lighted Donne scholars, and amaz
visitors singing "Happy Birthday
You." The participants then blew c
the 400 candles!

President Alston said in his openi
address to the symposium that he (
pected these lectures to be "worthy
be preserved and shared." They w(

New Personnel

Admissions Office Revised

By Ellen Fort 77

For the first time in several years,
the Admissions Office is undergoing
major structural and personnel changes
which will affect not only the Admis-
sions staff, but all members, past,
present, and future, of the College com-
munity.

Perhaps the most obvious change will
be centered around the position of Di-
rector of Admissions. Ann Rivers
Hutcheson '59 who "learned the ropes"
under Miss Laura Steele, left the Col-
lege July 1. Ann Rivers decided to
change her career to that of fulitime
wife and mother. Her decision to leave
professional work at Agnes Scott for
full-time homemaking was not an easy
one. "I have really enjoyed working
here," she said, "but I feel that perhaps
now is the time to be with Susan and
Libby."

During her four years as Director,
Ann Rivers initiated many changes.
"For the first time," she observed re-
cently, "the College entered into active
recruitment of students rather than
merely 'selecting' them." She felt that
this was a necessary move for Agnes
Scott in view of the smaller number of
available students.

Ann Rivers is followed by Judy Ma-
guire Tindel '73, who joined the Admis-
sions Staff in the fall of 1 91?, and worked
under Laura Steele, then Director. In
July 1976 she was appointed Assistant
Director under Ann Rivers and became
the staff's supervisor, travel coordinator,
and statistician. She worked closely with
Ann Rivers to meet the growing de-
mands of college recruitment. "During
my years here," Judy said "admission
has become more and more competitive.
This means that a great deal of re-
sponsibility is placed on staff members
to represent the College honestly and
professionally." She thinks staff mem-
bers have always been what she terms
"intelligent women, creative and inde-
pendent, but good team workers as
well."

On of the handicaps in the past, Judy
commented, was that travel took first
priority and other programs were added
on as needed. To remedy this situation.

Judy recently created two new part-
time positions on the staff. Anita Moses
Shippen '60 will be working with the
Return to College program, transfer
students, and Atlanta area schools.
Anita brings solid experience in teach-
ing and volunteer organizations to her
position as Special Projects Coordinator.
Also joining the staff will be Libby
Dowd Wood, who will work with alum-
nae, parents. Student Admissions
Representatives and the Presbyterian
Church program. With two years at
Hollins College, a B.A. from the Uni-
versity of North Carolina at Chapel
Hill in "74, and a Master's from North
Carolina State University, Libby will
possess a unique and objective view of
Agnes Scott. Judy sees Anita and Lib-
by's varied backgrounds as a new trend
in admissions. "In the past," Judy com-
mented, "we generally hired staff mem-
bers who were right out of college.
This year both Libby and Anita will
have had previous work and community
experience."

Judy has set some time-consuming
goals for herself. "Naturally I would
like to increase the freshman class while
maintaining high standards academi-
cally, as we did this year," she says. "I
would also like to increase communica-
tion between Admissions and all other
offices of the college. I am convinced
that ahminae support is especially im-
portant, since alumnae have been re-
sponsible for many applications."

Judy will be assisted in these goals
by two new full-time staff members.
Ceil Jarrett '77 and Janie Sutton '76,
and by two members of last year's staff,
Katherine Akin '76 and Lois Turner
'77, Janie received her master's from
the University of North Carolina at
Chapel Hill and taught school in Char-
lotte before joining the staff: Ceil Jar-
ret spent a year as a credit card analyst
before accepting her new position. Both
have participated this summer in an
intensive orientation process in which
they learned to conduct interviews,
make appointments with high school
counselors, and plan trips. Like Lois
and Katherine, they will each be as-

signed two southeastern states for t
fall and will be responsible for trav
ing those states as completely and pi
ductively as possible. Other states w
be assigned as the year progresses.

Lois Turner, a member of last yea
staff, thinks there are some unique
pects to the position of Assistant
the Director. "You must first lea
to make the switch from college s
dent to professional," she comment(
She also stressed the importance
learning to organize one's time in ore
to meet the demands of travel. "I t
joyed learning to adapt to each siti
tion. You have to work hard to est;
lish rapport with students, counselo
and parents in a very short time."

Katherine Akin has served on t
staff for two years. During that peri
she has been responsible for mainta
ing good relations between facu
members and members of the adm
sions staff. "It is vitally import;
for members of the admissions staff
be knowledgeable about faculty acti
ties and departmental offerings," <
said. "It is equally important for t
faculty to be aware of how we on t
admissions staff represent the Collt
to prospective students."

Janie and Ceil, during their orien
tion, will be supported by three peo]
who are very important to the adm
sions process. Without the two v(
able secretaries, Kay Potter and J
Johnson, prospective students wot
not receive the printed communicati
which is so vital in acquainting th
with the College. Mary K. Jarboc, t
administrative assistant, keeps the (
fice running smoothly and handles
of the emergencies, questions, and i
quests which pour in from both prospf
tive students and staff members.

The summer of '78, busy as it li
been and as full of change as it proi
ised to be, has been an important o
to Agnes Scott and its Admissions C
fice. When students and faculty retu
from those wonderful summer va(
tions, they will find a staff that is (
cited about representing the Colle
and full of hope for the coming ye;

Faculty, Past and Present

Math Professor Served ASC for 47 Years

By Jet Harper '77

Leslie Gaylord came to Agnes Scott
in 1921 as math instructor under Presi-
dent Gaines' administration. She re-
ceived her early education in Sandusky,
Ohio, and her math degree at Lake
Erie College in Painesville, Ohio. She
earned her Master's at the University
of Chicago. During her time at Agnes
Scott Miss Gaylord served on the Ad-
missions Committee. For many years
she and Miss Laura Steele composed
the Freshman Course Committee. She
was a member of the Curriculum Com-
mittee and was in charge of several
Campus Campaigns for Capital Funds.
Miss Gaylord spent her several sab-
baticals at the universities of Chicago
and Rome. She retired from Agnes
Scott in 1?68 after forty-seven years
of teaching; Miss Gaylord's is the long-
est teaching tenure in Agnes Scott's
history.

Not only was Miss Gaylord this ac-
tive during the academic year, she also
organized several summer trips to Eu-
rope. The available spaces for Miss

Gaylord's trips were soon filled, and
each trip lasted at least two months.
Members of the faculty and administra-
tion ask Miss Gaylord for information
when traveling to Europe because of
her extensive knowledge of Europe and
its areas remote from tourists.

Always an active churchwoman. Miss
Gaylord has devoted much of her time
since retirement to Holy Trinity Epis-
copal Parish in Decatur. After the
parish hall and part of the church
burned in 1967, Miss Gaylord played a
large role in the building of the new
church. Her interest in architecture
and construction and her ability for
organizing were amalgamated as she
chaired the committee for furnishing
and equipping the new building. From
1970-75 Miss Gaylord was a member
of the Vestry, and she was senior
warden for three years.

Miss Gaylord's forty-seven years at
Agnes Scott were ones of hard work
and sincere interest in her students and
in the college; she is admired and loved

by her students and colleagues. Hav
celebrated and enjoyed her eighti
birthday in May, Miss Gaylord c

Professor Clark Praises Academic Climate ^v

Ellen Fort '77

WiiTN Dr. Marion T. Clark, chairman
of the chemistry department, finishes
teaching his courses, he is off to enjoy
his favorite new pastime: sailing. "Any-
one who has ever been hiked out on an
M-20 when she's sailing close-hauled
with the lee rail awash in a stiff breeze
knows that I've found a new and won-
derful kind of recreation." he says.
"After one season I'm still the crew, but
I'm working up. After all you have to
start somewhere."

Dr. Clark's "start somewhere" in
chemistry began at Carrollton High
School, where a "splendid teacher" in-
troduced him to the science. The At-
lanta native pursued his interest in
chemistry at Emory, where he earned
his B.A. and M.A. He subsequently
held teaching positions at Emory at Ox-
ford and the University of Virginia,
and was acting chairman of the Uni-
versity Relations Divisions of the Oak

Ridge Institute of Nuclear Studies. Dr.
Clark, after earning his Ph.D from Vir-
ginia, accepted a teaching position at
Birmingham-Southern, where W. Joe
Frierson was chairman of the chem-
istry department. In 1948 Dr. Clark
returned to Emory to teach and re-
newed his friendship with Dr. Frierson,
by then chairman of the department
at nearby Agnes Scott. In 1960 Dr.
Clark "moonlighted" from Emory to
teach a course at Scott, and in 1962 he
became a full-time member of the de-
partment. When Dr. Frierson retired.
Dr. Clark became the new chairman
and was designated the William Rand,
Jr., Professor of Chemistry.

Dr. Clark has enjoyed his years of
teaching at Agnes Scott. "I truly be-
lieve that the academic climate here at
Agnes Scott is almost ideal for the
student and the teacher," he says. "The

to the significance of the occasion
I cannot pretend to know the final
i absolute significance of graduating
m Agnes Scott College; each of my
ssmates will have her own unique
ception of her accomplishment. Per-
Ds, however, some general remarks
m "a graduate" would be acceptable.

I was interested during the last few
weeks of spring quarter in two fre-
quently heard words: "graduation" and
"commencement." In considering them,
I found that each captures an aspect of
what it means to complete four years
of undergraduate study. When one
speaks of "graduation," a sense of con-
tinuity is retained: the verb "to gradu-
ate" derives from a Latin verb meaning
"step" or "degree." The four years of
study retain their integrity, since the
past is included with the present when
one speaks of taking a step or moving
along a continuum. "Graduation" is
thus a more organic and a less solemn
term than "commencement." The latter
implies that because we as graduates
have reached an end we are making a
beginning. We are looking to the fu-
ture with all the previous years of learn-
ing and study as a basis; these previous
twenty years or so retreat into the back-
ground before the awesome task of par-
ticipating in an eighty-ninth commence-
ment.

The obvious question is, "What are
we commencing?" The answer may be-
come more clear if we consider what we
have been offered at Agnes Scott.
Woodrow Wilson, in his description of
the proper object of liberal education
which he called "the spirit of learn-
ing" aptly conveys that which is
properly offered:

[The spirit of learning] consists in
the power to distinguish good rea-
soning from bad, in the power to
digest and interpret evidence, in a
habit of catholic observation and a
preference for the nonpartisan point
of view, in an addiction to clear
and logical processes of thought and
yet an instinctive desire to interpret
rather than to stick in the letter of
the reasoning, in a taste for knowl-
edge and a deep respect for the in-
tegrity of the human mind. It is citi-
zenship of the world of knowledge. . . .

Perhaps then it is "citizenship in the
world of knowledge" which we as
graduates are commencing. "Citizen-
ship" implies involvement, responsi-
bility, and integrity. Each of us is asked
to invest herself in her environment.
That our graduation was entitled "the

eighty-ninth commencement" affirms
a continuing belief in the validity of
commitment to liberal training as cen-
tral to any meaningful understanding of
and participation in the human situa-
tion. A

small classes make it possible for the
faculty to give each student as much
additional time as she needs, and at the
same time to have enough time for the
professor to pursue his own subject in
depth."

"When I had general chemistry in
college, the Quantum Theory was only
seven years old," Dr. Clark commented.
"Everybody had heard of it, but only

a sophisticated few understood it and
probably fewer still appreciated its im-
plications. By 1978 this theory would
make possible the rational inter-re-
lating of most of the facts and phe-
nomena we encounter in the natural
sciences. To have watched this de-
veloprrent has been to witness a
pageant of the mind that is truly re-
markable. To be able to pass some of
this pageant along to students to
help them understand how some dif-
ficult concept came into existence and
why we need it is a very satisfying
part of the teaching process." A

In Memoriam: LL.Gellerstedt.Sn

Lawrence L. Gelierstedt, trustee-emeritus, died May 23,
1978, on his eighty-seventh birthday. Mr. Gelierstedt was
elected trustee in 1944 and served until 1970, when he
was elected trustee-emeritus. He served on six committees
during his term as trustee.

In 1956 Mr. Gelierstedt retired from the C & S Bank,
where he was senior vice-president in charge of Atlanta
operations. He served as president of the Atlanta Chamber
of Commerce, president of the Georgia Baptist Founda-
tion, was a member of the advisory board of the Salvation
Army, and was vice-president of the .Southern State In-
dustrial Council.

Mr. Gellerstedt's business ability, his unfailing cheer-
fulness, his readiness to accept responsibility, and his de-
votion to the College marked his as one of Agnes Scott's
distinguished trustees. Among his survivors are a daughter.
Ann Gelierstedt Turlington '42; a son. Lawrence L. Gelier-
stedt, Jr., vice-chairman of the Board of Trustees and
