Agnes Scott's Endowment and
Other Permanent Funds

Through the years alumnae and friends of
Agnes Scott have provided gifts to build the
College and to strengthen its programs.
Many of these gifts have made it possible to
improve faculty compensation, to increase
financial aid to students, and to add books
for the Library and cquipmeni for the
classrooms and laboratories.

Most of the gifts received each year are
unrestricted. The College can apply them to
scholarship awards or to some other budget
needs. When a gift is designated for a

specific purpose, the College respects the
donor's wish.

Some restricted gifts are made for the
Endowment so that the principal will be held
intact and only the income will be used for
general or specific purpo.ses. Gifts for
student loan funds are meeting a growing
need. Sometimes a donor will make a gift but
will select a life-income plan such as an
annuity, thereby benefiting both the College
and the donor.

Agnes Scott is indebted to alumnae and

friends for their interest and generosity in
establishing the following permanent funds
for the College. The amount shown for
each fund represents the total of all gifts
received through .August 31. 1980. fhis list
describes indi\iduall\ all funds of SI. 000 or
more, but it docs not include scholarships
provided annually by the donors.

Please let the Development Office know
of any errors or omissions so that corrections
can be made.

Agnes Scott College Presents
Third Environmental Symposium

By Harry Wistrand
Assislwn Professor of Biology

loday V.C are being loivcd to make a
transition from the Industrial Age of
non-renewable resources to a new and still
undefined age based once again on renew-
able sources of energy, and ue will have
to do so in little more than one generation.
The radical change in world view required
to make this transition will have to be
accomplished virtually overnight

Jeremy Rifkin (Entropy, A New World
View)

One of the ma|or questions society will
encounter in the near future is how scarce
resources will be allocated as the age of
relative material abundance draws to a close.
Hov. these resources will be allocated will be
a function of political and economic systems.
But to exist in a moral society, many other
questions should also be addressed, prefer-
ably prior to allocation decisions. These
questions involve sociological, technologi-
cal, ecological, and above all. ethical aspects
of our civilization.

Three Agnes Scott professors have orga-
nized the Third Atlanta Hn\ ironmcntal Sym-
posium, subtitled "'Ethics and Scarcity'" to
deal with the above topic. The three directors
are Robert Leslie (mathematics), Steven
Haworth (political science), and Harry Wis-
trand (biology). The symposium will take
place January 27-28, 1981. and will bring
together persons of interdisciplinary interests
relevant to the topic of scarcity to have them
discuss the implications of limited resources
on future human endeavors. Agnes Scott
College hosted the First and Second Atlanta
Environmental Symposia in 1973 and 1974.

We hope that this symposium will point to
alternative resources, changes in current
consumption patterns, and suggestions for
lifestyle changes which could lessen the
impact of scarcity.

Financial support for the syniposiuni has
been provided by Agnes Scott College and a
grant from the Georgia Committee for the
Humanities. Additional funding is being
sought from several local corporations and
foundations. Agnes Scott has also taken the
unusual step of having no classes on
Wednesday, January 28, in order that stu-
dents and faculty may participate tully in the
symposium.

Barry Commoner

We have written commitments from all of
the speakers we have asked to participate in
the program. Dr. Barry Commoner of
Washington University {The Closing Circle:
The Poverty of Power: The Polities of
Energy) will open the symposium on Tues-
day evening with a talk addressing the nature
of scarcity. Dr. Commoner is a well-known
environmentalist, and is a candidate for
president on the Citizen's Party ticket.

The second session will have short papers
on "Environmental Ethics: A Humanistic
Perspective" presented by Dr. Eugene
Odum (director. The Institute of Ecology.
The University of Georgia; recipient of the
lyler Award in Ecology; member of the
National Academy of Sciences), Dr. Fred-
erick Ferre (chairman. Department of Philo-
sophy, University of Georgia; Shuping the
Future: Resources for the Post-modern
World). Hazel Henderson (economics;
Creating Alternative Futures), and Robert
Cahn (former member. President's Council
on Environmental Quality; Footprints on the
Earth: .A Seureh tor an EnMnviinental Ethic).

After the short papers are presented, the
panelists will conduct a discussion of the
papers and receive questions from the audi-
ence.

The third session will feature a luncheon
address by Dr. David Orr on the "Politics on
Scarcity." Dr. Orr is founder of Homestead
Village, Inc., a self-sustaining community in
Fo,\, Arkansas, and a fomier faculty member
in political science at Agnes Scott and the
University of North Carolina.

The fourth session will again have short
papers on "Environmental Ethics; A Theo-
logical Perspective" on Wednesday after-
noon. Participants include Dr. Joseph Low-
ery (president. The Southern Christian
Leadership Conference), Jeremy Rifkin (En-
tropy: A New World View: The Emerging
Order: God in an .Age of Scarcity). Elizabeth
and David Dodson Gray (The Bolton Insti-
tute, Boston), and Noel Erskine (Candler
School of Theology, Emory University). The
papers will be followed by di.scussion and
questions from the audience.

The concluding session Wednesday eve-
ning will feature a talk by William Irwin
Thompson, founder of the Lindistame .Asso-
ciation and author of Passages .About Earth:
An Exploration of the .New Planetary Cul-
ture. Mr. Thompson will suiiimarize the
proceeding and provide an overview of the
issues at hand, perhaps on the nature of
cultural changes to be effected by scarcity.

Fomier U.S. Congressman James Maekay

Agnes Scott Alumnae Quarterly

A DECADE OF PERIL AND PROMISE

Two years ago, in reporting to you at the end of my fifth year at
Agnes Scott, I cautioned that "the private residential liberal arts
college in America may well be facing in the 1980s the most
difficult decade in its 300-year history. Current educational,
economic, and demographic forces are working against it today,
and projections and prospects for the future are even less
favorable. For example, three-quarters of today's college students
are in public, i.e. tax-supported, institutions, where fees are much
less for the student if not for the tax-payer. Inflation and the
scarcity of jobs have intensified the continuing concern of students
and their parents for vocational training and the acquisition
of marketable skills. Population projections indicate a significant
drop nationally in the number of eighteen-year-olds, beginning in
the early 1980s."

That prediction still appears reasonable if not reassuring. Yet, as
we approach the end of 1980, there are some indications that
private colleges and universities "appear to be coping well with
problems of enrollment and finances although inflation and other
factors are forcing an erosion of human and physical capital that
could cause serious damage in the future. " These conclusions are
among those reached in a recent report, fifth in a series of annual
studies underwritten by the National Institute of Independent
Colleges and Universities.

The report warns that, in all too many cases, present financial
stability is being maintained at the cost of "substantial
indebtedness to the future in the form of deferred maintenance of
assets, both physical and human." In the face of this warning, I
am glad to report that at Agnes Scott we are continuing our efforts
of recent years to maintain the health and strength of our "human
and physical capital' ' through increased faculty/staff salaries and
benefits, improved library and laboratory facilities, and a planned
program of physical plant renovation. Our greatest physical plant
needs for the immediate future are a new physical education
facility, modernized science facilities in Campbell Hall, and a

student center. Major fund-raising efforts in the early 1980s will
give top priority to these three needs and to additional endowment
for academic development and student aid.

Earlier this year, in the Spring 1980 number of The President's
Newsletter. I referred to some encouraging predictions contained
in the recently published report of the Carnegie Council on Policy
Studies entitled Three Thousand Futures: the Ne.xt Twenty Years
for Higher Education. Serious concerns were expressed in the
report although "research universities and selective liberal arts
colleges" were seen as "the least vulnerable" to present negative
factors affecting higher education. Accordingly, the report
concludes, "the best universities and liberal arts colleges may
become better" ' by the year 2000 if they take advantages of the
opportunities offered in the next two decades.

With particular reference to women's colleges, other positive
trends appear to be reinforced by a third report, released this past
spring by the Women's College Coalition, a project of the
Associationof American Colleges. The product of a 1979-80 study
of some 1 17 women's colleges in the United States, including
Agnes Scott, this Profile of Women's Colleges emphasizes the
superior quality of the educational experience at today's women's
colleges. For example, their students appear to be better prepared,
more ambitious, and more self-confident than women who attend
coeducational institutions. Specifically, freshmen women at
women's colleges are almost twice as likely as all freshmen
women to plan majors in biology, chemistry, and economics and
to become physicians, lawyers, and Ph.D.'s. Surprisingly
perhaps, women's college students are more ethnically diverse
than the female population of colleges generally, with larger
percentages of black, hispanic, and oriental students.

Although women's colleges account for only about 2 percent of
today's female undergraduates, overall enrollment at women's
colleges has grown steadily in the past decade, with large colleges
experiencing the greatest growth. Women's colleges continue to
receive strong support from their alumnae, to maintain faculties of
which women comprise more than 50 percent and to insure an
environment supportive of women: their needs and their
ambitions.

I have referred again to some of the encouraging aspects of these
recent studies to emphasize that, despite the current problems
facing our colleges, including Agnes Scott, we have many
strengths, both material and intangible, with which to face the
challenges ahead. We shall need to utilize them with imagination
and skill if we are to keep the selective liberal arts college a pace-
setter for diversity and quality in American higher education.

THE COLLEGE YEAR: 1979-80

With the 1979-80 academic session, Agnes Scott entered its
tenth decade. At the end of that decade we shall celebrate our
centennial year. American colleges and universities, compared to
the venerable institutions of England and Europe, are still young.
Only one is more than three hundred years old, and only a handful
have observed their bicentennials. Women's colleges, of which
there are well over a hundred today, are an even younger breed;
only about a dozen have celebrated their one hundredth birthdays.
It is all the more exciting, therefore, to realize that the end of this
decade will see Agnes Scott's centennial year. It is none too soon
for us to begin planning our one hundredth birthday party!

Fall 1980

This report, however, is chiefly concerned with the 1979-80
session and prospects for the immediate future. The 1979-80 year,
our ninety-first, has been one of good work, good spirits, and good
times. 1 am inclined to say that it has been overall the most
successful wc have enjoyed in my seven years as president. As
always, credit for a good year must go to all elements of the
college family, on campus and beyond the gates, as well as to our
many friends scattered around the world. We have reason to be
deeply grateful for our good fortune, and such good fortune brings
with it the obligation to try to make each succeeding year a little
betterthan the last.

The academic program at Agnes Scott continues strong and
demanding. Effective teaching and concern for every student
continue to be the chief criteria by which we judge our faculty, and
by these criteria our faculty continues to be a superior one. Last
year, in her annual report to me. Dean Julia Gary expressed
satisfaction with the faculty's increased interest in professional
development as expressed through greater attendance at
professional meetings and a larger volume of publications and
other creative activities. We have tried to encourage this increased
professional activity by making available additional funds for
summer research grants and sabbaticals. In her current report.
Dean Gary writes. "1 have been pleased, during the 1979-80
session, to see that our faculty is taking increased advantage of
opportunities which we have been able to provide." I am glad to
say that Dean Gary's own efforts and those of an active faculty
Committee on Professional Development are also responsible,
along with increased funding, for this recent rise in faculty interest
in professional growth and development. The list of faculty
publications during 1 979-80 is one of the longest we have had in a
number of years, and it includes scholarly articles, creative
writing, non-professional publications, and editorials and reviews.
In addition, members of our art department have exhibited their
works throughout the country as well as in Atlanta. The percentage
of publications from the areas of science and mathematics is
impressive, significantly higher than would be expected from the
relatively smaller faculty in the science areas. An encouraging
number of the faculty have presented papers at local, regional, and
national meetings; and several faculty members hold offices in
learned or professional societies at the regional or national level.
Even more are in leadership roles in local professional groups.
Participation in politics, in church work, and in other community
activities would also seem to be increasing.

At the departmental level. Dean Gary notes "a need and a
willingness on the part of departments to make their curricula more
responsive to student interest and student needs." The new Agnes
Scott Honor Scholars program has been received by the faculty
with great enthusiasm, and the high quality of these Honor
Scholars is significantly reflected in the incoming freshman class.

Faculty salary increases for 1980-81 are the largest in the past
ten years and should put our faculty salaries and benefits at or
above the 80th percentile of American undcrgaduatc colleges (a
"1" rating on the AAUP compensation scale). Administrative
staff salaries continue competitive, and we must insure that our
staff support personnel also continue to receive encouraging
remuneration.

For a small undergraduate college. Agnes Scott is fortunate in
having a relatively large number of endowed professorial chairs.
We were pleased to receive another chair this past year when the
Fuller E. Callaway Foundation, of LaGrange. Georgia, established
a Callaway Chair at Agnes Scott. Callaway Chairs have been
established by the Foundation at a number of colleges and
universities in Georgia w ith the stipulation that they be held by a

18

Agnes Scott Alumnae Quarterly

full professor who has demonstrated superior teaching abilities and
achieved distinction as a teacher. At its spring meeting, the Board
of Trustees accepted the Fuller E. Callaway Chair and appointed
Professor Mary Boney Sheats of the Department of Bible and
Religion as the first incumbent. Professor Sheats, who has taught
at Agnes Scott since 1949, is a graudate of the University of North
Carolina at Greensboro and holds advanced degrees from Emory
and Columbia Universities. She has also done post doctoral study
at Oxford University . A member of Phi Beta Kappa and a leader in
the Agnes Scott faculty, she has served as chairman of the
Department of Bible and Religion, as College Marshal, and as
chairman of the Executive Committee of the faculty. Long a leader
in the affairs of the Presbyterian Church, U.S., Professor Sheats
has served on the General Assembly's Council on Theology and
Culture, on the Board of Directors of the Presbyterian Survey, and
on the Atlanta Presbytery's Task Force on Candidates and
Examinations. She is an elder in the Decatur Presbyterian Church
and a member of the Board of Directors of Columbia Theological
Seminary. Professor Sheats is also a past president of the Southern
Section of the American Academy of Religion and of the
Southeastern Region of the Society of Biblical Literature. She was
further honored this spring when she was awarded the honorary
degree of Doctor of Humane Letters by Austin College in
Sherman, Texas, where she delivered the baccalaureate sermon.

Our faculty continues large and relatively stable, with an
enviable faculty-student ratio of approximately one to seven. In the
coming session, we shall add a new person in economics in
response to increased enrollment in that area. During the coming
year we shall be looking for new faculty replacements in the areas
of English, art, and history.

In terms of student academic interest, the most popular majors at
present are in biology and English; the popularity of a double
major, offered by most departments, continues to increase.
Academic internships, off-campus summer study, and programs
abroad are popular although increasing costs of travel may have
some negative effect upon overseas study activities.

Dean Gary recommends ' 'that the College must become more
active in the areas of computer use for general instruction," and
we shall certainly continue to urge the expanded use of this tool
wherever it may be appropriate, especially in the sciences and
social sciences and in mathematics.

Our new Media Resource Center, under the direction of Linda
Hilsenrad, is seeing increased use as is the renovated language
laboratory. The new film room has proved most popular, both in
instructional film use and for our enlarged foreign film program.
The production of classroom visual aids has grown considerably in
the past year and will doubtless continue to grow in the future.

Librarian Judith Jensen reports also "a good year for the
Library." New students receive a Library orientation tour each
fall, and there is evidence that both faculty and students are
making greater use of the Library and its services. For example,
the faculty now have access to literature searches through our
DIALOG information retrieval service; and our OCLC computer
terminal facilitates the printing of new acquisitions labels,
inter-library loans processing, and our reclassification project.
Library budget has been increased each year, and our collections
continue to show a healthy if modest annual growth despite
inflationary pressures. In the past two years, our collections have
increased by some ten thousand items and now total almost
180,000 books, films, recordings, and periodical titles. The time
has already come for us to begin planning for additional stack
space and possibly for a storage area outside the Library building
for seldom-used items.

In response to requests from students via the Library
Committee, Library hours have been extended during the first few
days of examination week as well as during the week before
exams. Our highly professional and efficient Library staff is to be
commended for its helpful service to students and faculty and for
its care of our excellent collection. One indication of such
excellence is the fact that we currently lend through inter-library
loan more items than we borrow.

Dean of Students Martha Kirkland reports that 1979-80 was "a
very 'up' year, . . . busy and productive in all areas of student
affairs." The view from the Dean of Students' Office reflected
"very positive attitudes about their work in the College" on the
part of students, faculty, and staff alike. A matter of growing
concern to Dean Kirkland, which has both positive and negative
aspects, is the increasingly crowded College calendar, with respect
to educational and cultural events as well as social activities. For a
small college, Agnes Scott offers an unusually rich fare of
lectures, concerts, symposia, and social activities. At the same
time, the number of calendar days and spaces for events remains
the same. It is possible that some student apathy with respect to
attendance at College events is caused by the very over-abundance
of attractions which are offered. These attractions must be fitted
into a demanding academic schedule and a varied social life
beyond the campus. Dean Kirkland and her staff are already at
work in seeking to solve the frustrations of a crowded calendar
without reducing the academic and social values inherent in our
many campus activities.

Each year, in this report, I have tried to give some indication of
the richness and variety of our "crowded" college calendar. The
list which follows is by no means complete; it is not even a full
listing of ' 'highlights ' ' of the year. But once again it will . I hope ,
convey the liveliness and scope of Agnes Scott's educational and
cultural extra-curricular offerings.

Another area of student life which is receiving fresh attention
from Dean Kirlcland and her staff is the challenge posed by our
students who are "different"": that is. students who come from
different pails of the country or the world, who are of different
races, different religions, different socio-economic backgrounds.
A few are handicapped students. An integral part of future
Orientation programs will be an effort to work specifically with
these students throughout the year, not only as separate groups but
as a part of the total student body. "The entire College
community,"" says Dean Kirkland, "needs to be made more aware
of our students who have special needs."" Such concern on the part
of the entire College community will enrich not only the
educational experience of our so-called "different"' students but
that of all our students and faculty.

Under the capable direction of Director of Student Health
Services Rosemary Kriner, the College continues to provide a high
quality of health care for its students. Student attitudes towards the
health service appear to be healthy and supportive.

The College year began for Student Government officers with a
fall retreat at Camp Glisson, a Methodist church camp in
Dahlonega, Georgia. Student Government officers met with Dean
Kirkland and her staff for more than two days and nights of
informal work and recreation together. The success of the retreat
was reflected in the efficiency and achievement of Student
Government during 1979-80. A fall retreat was held this fall at
Rock Eagle Camp in Eatonton, Georgia.

It is encouraging to be able to report that student retention
remains high at Agnes Scott. Assistant Dean of Students Mollie
Merrick reports that 51 percent of the students who seriously
considered transferring to other colleges remained at Agnes Scott,
as compared to 44 percent last year. Of the thirty-some who
actually transferred, many expressed happiness with Agnes Scott
life but wished to "try something different."' The percentage of
students eligible to return who actually re-register for the following
year continues to be about 87 percent, a very high percentage
among American colleges.

Continuing a custom begun three years ago. Orientation Council
brought to the campus as a part of academic orientation an
outstanding writer to discuss his worl< with freshmen in small
discussion groups headed by faculty members. This year's author
was the Pulitzer prize winning novelist Wallace Stegner, whose
sensitive novel The Speckitor Bird was highly popular with
freshmen and other students. Mr. Stegner's visit on campus, in
which he read and discussed his works informally, was a highlight
of the year. This custom of selecting a book tor freshman
discussion has already proven to be a valuable one and is being
continued this year, when the young woman novelist Gail Godwin
will visit Agnes Scott to discuss her novel Violet Clay.

Our Career Planning program, under the energetic and
imaginative direction of Kathleen Mooncy and her assistant
Elizabeth Wood, is playing an ever-growing role in the life of the
College, especially among students and alumnae. Its programs and
services were expanded during 1979-80, and a very successful
pilot program for a Women's Center at Agnes Scott was instituted.
A few statistics will give some idea of the scope and variety of our
career planning programs: the Shadow Program saw a 20 percent
increase in student participation in 1979-80; a one- week Extern
Program was offered for the first time during the w inter and spring
vacation periods with some twenty-seven students placed with
sponsors in eighteen different career fields; initial contracts were
made with several federal government agencies in further
exploration of our cooperative education placement pogram. The
Career Planning Office also assumed a greater role in the
development of our ongoing internship program, identifying and
involving our students in existing programs in the Atlanta area.

developing new internships through alumnae and other contacts,
and assisting individual students to develop their own internships.
In addition, a large number of career conferences, seminars, and
workshops were held during the year, almost all of them well
attended by students, alumnae, and other women in the Atlanta
area. Student use of Career Planning Office services was almost
double that of 1978-79. and increases were also noted in alumnae
appointments and attendance at Women's Center seminars. More
than eleven hundred notices of full time positions open were
received by the Career Planning Ofice and more than three
hundred alumnae registrants were referred. Once again a weekly
Career Planning Office newsletter was circulated throughout the
campus during the year.

Student financial aid continues to be a vital activity of college
administration. In a time of rising college costs in an inflationary
economy. Agnes Scott's financial aid resources are essential in
maintaining the size and quality of our student body. Director of
Financial Aid Bonnie Brown Johnson '70 reports that 1979-80 was
a year of "relative stability." especially for our own financial aid
funds. Our funds were increased by larger allotments from such
federal sources as the Basic Educational Opportunity Grant and the
Guaranteed Student Loan Programs. Along w ith these larger
allotments came a significant increase in paper work, doubled
from the previous year. While most college financial aid officers,
including our Bonnie Johnson, are pleased w ith what increased
federal aid can mean for students, they arc also concerned with
growing federal domination in the area of college financial aid. A
case in point is the periodic reviews to which college financial aid
offices arc subjected by federal authorities. I am glad to report that

22

Agnes Scott Alumnae Quarterly

Agnes Scott's Financial Aid Office passed such a federal program
review this year "with tlying colors."

In the past year, reports Director Johnson . communications with
students were improved in two ways. First, the handsome and
comprehensive financial aid brochure for prospective students.
Financing Your College Ediicalion, was published and mailed to
over 10,000 prospective students in the fall and winter. Second,
the Financial Aid Office devised a letter explaining loan
obligations and repayment procedures which was sent to all seniors
at the end of the year by the Agnes Scott Accounting Office. It is
safe to assume that financial aid will play an increasingly
important role in the admissions process and that the federal
"partner" will continue to aid but also to complicate the financial
aid process. Agnes Scott is fortunate to have adequate financial aid
funds at present, but the need for additional scholarship
endowments and loan funds will grow. These, of course, are
among our fund-raising priorities.

The recruiting of sufficient numbers of qualified students
continues to be Agnes Scott's greatest challenge. Despite
increased efforts in all areas travel, campus and telephone
interviews, special programs, publications the size of our
entering class has remained about the same in each of the past three
years: approximately 150 regular freshmen plus some thirty-five to
forty "readmits," transfers, and Return To College students. Our
goal continues to be an entering class of 175-200 freshmen, not
including other special categories. Our student retention rate
continues to be excellent, with some 87 percent of eligible students
returning each fall. Campus visits by prospective students
increased this past year by 1 1 percent over those of 1978-79. In
their travels, our Admissions Staff visited 725 high schools,
attended 63 college programs, and saw over 2,600 prospective
students. Because of the increasing expense of travel, the staff has
made greater use of telephone calls, with some 2,000 recorded by
staff members to prospective students in 1979-80.

Thanks largely to the widespread and very able efforts of new
staff member Denise McFall, the College's visibility in the
minority community has been markedly raised. Mrs. McFall
visited 108 high schools in eleven states and saw over 400
students. As a result, the number of entering minority students this
fall is more than double that of last year.

Our first Honor Scholars entered Agnes Scott this fall as the
recipients of $2,500 honor awards based on outstanding all-round
high school records. Of approximately eighty-five applicants,
largely from the southeastern states, thirty- five finalists were
invited to the campus in February as guests of the College. They
attended classes, roomed in the dormitories, toured Atlanta, and
were individually interviewed by the Honor Award Committee.
Sixteen honor award winners and seven finalists are in the
freshman class. Four of the sixteen Honor Scholars come from
Georgia; two each from Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina,
and Virginia; and one each from Kentucky, Louisiana,
Mississippi, and Tennessee. 63 percent are from public schools
and 73 percent from private schools. Honor scholars with financial
aid beyond the amount of the merit award will have such need met
through Agnes Scott's regular financial aid program. The awards
are renewable annually if college performance continues strong.

Our experience with the Honor Scholars selection process in its
first year was a most heartening one. Faculty members of the
Honor Award Committee expressed great enthusiasm for the
program and for the caliber of applicants, indicating their belief
that the program will prove to be a very positive morale factor not

only in the student body but also with the faculty.

The popularity and effectiveness of the Return To College
program continues strong, with approximately 10 percent of the
total student body enrolled in this program. We must give
consideration, in my judgment, to the feasibility of offering night,
weekend, and summer programs for these and other special
students in the future.

The active interest and support of our alumnae continue to be a
vital source of our strength and a great satisfaction to me. Once
again, under the lively leadership of President Cissie Spiro
Aidinoff '5 1 and Director of Alumnae Affairs Virginia Brown
McKenzie '47 and her staff, literally thousands of alumnae helped
to make 1979-80 a memorable college year. Enthusiastic leadership
was also contributed by members of the Alumnae Council
throughout the country. At the Council's fall meeting on campus,
alumnae admissions representatives, class officers, fund chairmen
and agents, club presidents, and executive board members
attended classes and Black Cat festivities, and lunched and visited
with the faculty and administrative staff. In October a number of
alumnae from Georgia. Florida, Ohio, and Pennsylvania traveled
to New York where they were entertained bountifully by President
Aidinoff in her Fifth Avenue apartment and enjoyed the theatre
and visits to New York museums. Cissie Aidinoff's excellent letter
to alumnae, requesting their help in recruiting new students,
elicited some five hundred responses and increased awareness of
the important role alumnae can play in student recruiting. For
example. Director of Admission Judith Maguire Tindel '73 reports

of our 1980 student applicant pool, a greater percentage than that
provided by present students.

Alumnae clubs continue active throughtout the country; there
are now more than fifty, with five new ones having been formed
this past year. A highlight of the alumnae year was the founding
meeting of the Fifty- Year Club, organized to honor alumnae
whose classes graduated fifty years ago or more from the College.
Members of the Fifty- Year Club who returned for Alumnae
Weekend were honored at a special dinner, highlighted by an
overflow crowd and the rich reminiscences of Professor Emeritus
and College Archivist Edward McNair. More than seven hundred
alumnae and spouses crowded the campus for the events of
Alumnae Weekend in April. Outstanding Alumnae awards were
conferred upon Dean Emeritus Carrie Scandrett '24 (Service to the
College), on Dr. Evangeline Papageorge '28 (Distinguished
Career), and on Dr. Juanita Greer White '26 (Service to the
Community).

In May Atlanta alumnae conducted a successful phonathon to
some 1 ,000 other alumnae throughout the country, urging them to
respond to the Agnes Scott Fund and the National Endowment for
the Humanities Million Dollar Challenge Fund. Once again, with
the leadership of Alumnae Fund Chairman Dot Holloran Addison
'43, assisted by scores of class fund-chairmen and more than 500
class agents, the Agnes Scott Fund had a record-setting year in
dollars. More than 4,300 gifts totaled over $1 ,800,000, of which
some $1 ,300,000 came from almost 3,900 alumnae gifts made by
2,544 alumnae. (For more details of the Fund, see the complete
report in the summer issue of the Quarterly.)

In a period of continuing inflation and economic uncertainty, I
am glad to be able to report that we have continued Agnes Scott's
tradition of sound financial operation and balanced budgets. The
continuing hard work of the Office of Development, under Vice
President Paul McCain's direction, and the careful financial
planning of Vice President Lee Barclay and his staff resulted in
another good financial year. All employees received salary
increases which averaged significantly more than those of
1978-79. Once again the Board of Trustees authorized an increase
in our guaranteed pension formula, resulting in larger income for a
number of our retired employees .

As in the past, hundreds of other friends individuals,
corporations, foundations have helped to make possible our
financial stability by adding their gifts to those of our alumnae.
The accompanying table indicates the sources of these gifts and the
uses to which they were allocated in 1979-80. Space forbids the
individual acknowledgement here of the thousands of gifts to
Agnes Scott during the year, although we have tried to send our
personal thanks to every donor. I should like to make specific
mention, however, of a number of the most significant gifts and
grants received by the College this past year. From the estate of the
late Mary Wallace Kirk '11, our beloved and devoted Trustee, we
are now receiving funds to establish an endowment in excess of
$600,000, the income from which is to be used to strengthen our
programs and activities in the humanities and the arts. From Mr.
and Mrs. Hal Smith (Julia Thompson '31), we have received a
wonderfully generous gift of more than $325,000, to be added to
the Hal and Julia Thompson Smith Fund, the income from which
will be used for purposes to be announced. From the estate of the
late Professor Emeritus Florence E. Smith, we have received a
bequest in excess of $140,000, with which the Board of Trustees
has endowed three Florence E. Smith Honor Awards.

Our efforts to match the National Endowment for the

Humanities Challenge Fund were greatly aided by the generous
giftof Omah Buchanan Albaugh '16 (Mrs. R. B.) of some
$53,600. From the National Endowment for the Humanities we
received $50,000 in December 1979, the first increment of the
$250,000 for which we are raising $750,000 in new endowment.
The College has received grants of $10,000 from the Price Gilbert,
Jr. , Charitable Fund and $5,000 from the Mary Elizabeth Lee
Foundation for the NEH Challenge Fund.

Our scholarship program has continued to benefit from gifts and
grants. An anonymous foundation gave $25,000 for direct
assistance to students. The Stella and Charles Guttman Foundation
designated its two grants totalling $10,000 for the same purpose.
The J. M. Tull Foundation contributed $20,000 to the endowment
for scholarships. The College has received gifts of $10,000 each to
endow scholarships from the Burr-Brown Foundation to honor
Mrs. Alma Buchanan Brown '16of Longview, Texas; from the
Blake P. Garrett, Sr., Foundation in memory of Dr. Mason Pressly
Young of Anderson, South Carolina; and from Mrs. Ona M.
Strozierof Baxley, Georgia, in memory of Carolyn Strozier '41.
Other gifts for endowment include $8,000 from MaryeDen Harvey
Newton '16 (Mrs. Henry E.), $9,500 from Mary West Thatcher
'15 (Mrs. Samuel E.), and $7,500 from William C. Wardlaw, Jr.

Agnes Scott's share of the contributions made by Georgia
business firms to the Georgia Foundation for Independent Colleges
in 1979-80 was $45,262, the largest in recent years. From the John
and Mary Franklin Foundation the College has received $30,000
of a total grant of $50,000, to be used for the purchase of
electronic data equipment. A grant of $15,221 from the Camille
and Henry Dreyfus Foundation was used for the purchase of
equipment for the Department of Chemistry. The Harry L. Dalton
Foundation contributed $12,000 in its ongoing support of the Arts
at Agnes Scott. From the Monsanto Fund came a gift of $5,000, to
be used for general college purposes. We are profoundly grateful
for these and the thousands of other gifts and bequests which have
contributed so significantly to Agnes Scott's present and future.

Although the maintenance and renovation of our aging physical
plant is a never-ending task, we have made gratifying progress this
past year in a number of areas. The renovation of Buttrick Hall is
99 percent complete, with only a few details of furnishings and
equipment still to be installed. The replacing of the roof was a
major undertaking, not without frustrations, but the new roof
seems to have withstood recent rains. Similar work on the Dana
Hall roof, also a vexing project, is virtually complete. A new roof
was installed on Presser Hall in record time and has solved a
number of problems there. Maclean Chapel received repairs and
new paint as did some faculty offices and classrooms in Presser.
Roof repairs were made to the Hub during the summer, and the
exterior was painted. We expect to complete work on the Bradley
Observatory this fall, including a new roof, a new heating system,
and painting throughout. This excellent facility should now be an
even more valuable headquarters for our growing astronomy-
physics program.

For some time we have realized the urgent need for refurbishing
of the public rooms of our dormitories, especially those of early
vintage. This summer, the first such project was completed with
the renovation of the lobby and public rooms in Inman dormitory.
These rooms were rewired and repainted, a new ceiling and
radiator covers installed, and new furniture and wall-to-wall
carpeting provided. This project was under the direction of a
professional decorator, and we believe it will set a high standard
for subsequent dormitory renovations.

A new sound system was installed in Gaines Auditorium during

the year, and the Alumnae House received a new heating and air
conditioning system as well as interior painting. We should now be
able to use the Alumnae House for guests throughout the year.

Our summer conferences have been most successful, but we
need a second air-conditioned donnitory if we are to be able to
meet the demand for summer conference space in the future. We
have ample study, library, and meeting facilities for summer
conferences since virtually all of our educational facilities are now
air-conditioned, but our only air-conditioned dormitory continues
to be Winship.

Our physical plant is today in generally good condition although
it will continue to require periodic renovation. There remain,
however, three very urgent plant needs if Agnes Scott"s physical
facilities are to be competitive with those of other first-rank
colleges. In my judgment, our first priority at present is a new
physical education facility, including exercise and sports space and
a new swimming pool. Among American high school and college
women there is increasing interest in sports of all kinds, and Agnes
Scott's athletic facilities simply do not measure up to those of our
leading sister colleges. It is my hope that we can construct new
physical education facilities at the earliest moment; such facilities
will have a direct bearing upon our future ability to attract new
students.

Our second urgent need is a modernization of Campbell Science
Hall. Plans for this modernization are in hand, but to date we have
been unable to secure the three million dollars needed to undertake
it.

Our third priority need is an adequate student center to replace
the Hub. Unlike most colleges, Agnes Scott has no building which
serves as a center of student activities, both recreational and
governmental. It is my hope that, once a new gymnasium is
constructed, the present gymnasium building can be converted into
an attractive and useful student center at reasonable cost.

It is absolutely necessary that we undertake to raise the
approximately nine million dollars needed for these three priority
needs as soon as possible. The longer we wait, the higher the
eventual cost will be and the greater the negative effect on our
recruiting efforts, to say nothing of the inconvenience to present
students and faculty. I cannot urge too strongly the immediate need
for these facilities.

Our maintenance efforts have not been restricted to campus
buildings, but have involved substantial improvements to eleven of
our rental houses, including painting, reroofing, rewiring, and
plumbing work. Five additional houses are scheduled for
renovation work this fall.

1 am grateful for the hard work, patience, and positive attitudes
exhibited by Messrs. Lee Barclay and Vaughn Black, Mrs. Sue
White, and the maintenance crews under their direction. I am also
grateful for the continuing efficient service provided us by Mrs.
Barbara Saunders and her Food Service staff, by Mrs. Ursula
Booch and her Post Office team, and by our new Book Store
manager, Mrs. Dee Chubb, and her accommodating staff.

In attempting to forecast our fmancial needs for the next few

years, it is obvious that we shall experience increasingly tight
operating budgets in the years just ahead. We have been able to
raise an average of over one million dollars a year in each of the
past ten years, and through good fortune and good management we
have been able to post a moderate surplus in each operating
budget. Our fees continue to be the lowest of those of the leading
women's colleges although we have had to raise them almost every
year. Such increases in fees, however, have each year been
accompanied by corresponding increases in our student financial
aid budget. Our academic programs and educational facilities have
not been curtailed: on the contrary, they have been expanded and
improved in quality, and our faculty/staff salaries have been
increased each year. We continue to have a student/faculty ratio of
approximately one to seven, a rarity among even our strongest

sister colleges. We shall continue to make every effort to maintain
the quality and scope of our educational program at a cost to our
students which is modest in terms of educational quality and
services.

WHOSE DECADE?

It has been claimed that the decade of the 1950s was the era of
the faculties, that of the '60s the decade of the students, and that of
the "VOs the time of the administrators. If these admittedly
simplistic characterizations have any validity, then it may well be
that the 1980s will be the decade of the trustees.

President C. Ellis Nelson, of Louisville Presbyterian Seminary,
put it this way in his keynote address at a conference of
Presbyterian college presidents and trustees in Asheville this past
summer;

The era of the 1980s and perhaps for the rest of this century
will be the era of the trustees. Trustees will have to take the
initiative with higher educational institutions because the era
we are entering will demand decisions which only a board of
trustees can make. The pool of persons of college age will be
smaller, inflation will continue to erode endowment and gift
income, higher education will continue its drift toward
professional, vocational, or technical training, and
competition from tax-supported schools will increase.

These and other educational developments will force colleges to
rethink decisions about the allocation of funds, the expansion or
termination of academic departments, tenure policies, the support
of faculty research decisions which ultimately have to be made
by trustees.

To be sure, the ultimate decisions affecting college policies in
the 1980s will be made, as they have always been made, by boards

of trustees. But 1 submit that they will be made most intelligently,
and supported most affirmatively, if they are the result of joint,
cooperative efforts by all sectors of a college family: faculty,
students, administrators, alumnae, and finally trustees. This has
been our policy at Agnes Scott for at least a generation, and I
believe the results have demonstrated its worth.

In the Carnegie Council study. Three Thousand Futures, to
which I referred at the beginning of this report, Clark Ken-
concludes,

The future holds many unknowns. It also holds a range of
already known choices that can be made by those making
decisions about higher education . . . External, particularly
market, pressures will not alone lead to the best results.
Internal thought, resolution, and determination are needed
. . . The surrounding environment in the next twenty years
will create some special problems that we can already see. It
does not, however, determine in advance how well these
problems will be solved or or how inadequately: human
choice . . . will settle that.

The emphasis, as it should, will remain on "human choice,"" on
people. That has been Agnes Scott's emphasis through the years.
The following statement, from a 1948 .\gnes Scott publication,
expresses well our continuing conviction;

The character of a college lives and grows in the people
whose faith calls it into being again year after year. The
teacher and the student are at the core of its work; around
them are the financial benefactors and administrative leaders
who bring them together. It finds its fulfillment in the
alumnae who take its influence into society as a whole. Thus,
essentially , a college is made up of people and of nothing
else.

In the light of this conviction, we shall continue to work here,
not merely for survival or for stability, but for excellence.

With the Clubs

Barrow-Gwinnett-
Newton

BGN Club, which is made up of alumnae in
this three-county area not many miles away
from the College, has sent a large gift to be
used towards a proposed brick patio near the
Alumnae House. Classics Professor Bett
Zenn's fascinating program on the "Perils of
Excavations" brought the group's spring
programs to an end May 17, and they looked
forward to an equally interesting presentation
for their fall opener by Psychology Professor
Lee Copple. just returned from a summer trip
to England. Julia Kennedy '60 has agreed to
serve one more year as president, and her
co-officers are Anna Ogden Bryan '51, vice
president, and Barbara Johnson Wilson '72,
treasurer.

assistant to the director of admissions; and
Pam Mynatt, ASC senior from Dalton and
chairman of the board of students activities,
drove to Dalton April 7 for an informal
meeting with alums. They showed slides of
students, faculty, and campus and gave a
commentary bringing listeners up to date
with Agnes Scott. Mary Gene Sims Dykes
'48, incoming president of the Dalton club,
was hostess at her home. Other officers are
Fannie B. Harris Jones '37, vice president;
Jane Barker Secord '48, secretary; and
Lillian Beall Lumpkin '52, treasurer.

New scotties Michelle Pickar and Cindy
White and their mothers were honored at a
wine and cheese party August 24 at the home
of Melody Snider Porter '78, president of the
Houston Alumnae Club, who reported a
wonderful turnout. Secretary Marie Newton
'75 wrote that they all enjoyed meeting one
another and looking over yearbooks. From
current Agnes Scott students and recently
graduated alums they "received 'words of
wisdom' on what-to-take and tips concerning
dining hall, academic, and roommate
situations." Melody and Marie hope to get a
new club started in the San Antonio-Austin
area and have planned a special gathering for
alumnae there.

Evening

(Metropolitan Atlanta)

After the spring ice cream social in the
Alumnae Garden honoring graduating
seniors, an annual event sponsored by the
club, the following new officers were
chosen: Susie Marshall Faulkner '70,
president; Susan Shivers "75. vice president;
Wendy Whelchel '74, secretary; and Harriet
Elder Manley '61, treasurer. Their previous
program was an enjoyable evening at the
Bradley Observatory on campus, where
members heard Dr. Bob Hyde, assistant
professor of physics and astronomy, speak
on "The Message of Starlight," and Julius
Staal, director of the planetarium, on "The
Constellations of Spring."

Dr. EDWARD McNair, professor of English
emeritus, was speaker for Huntsville
alumnae's May 1 meeting with his popular
talk on "Anecdotes of Agnes Scott." Maria
Harris Markwalter '59 met his plane, and the
group lunched together at Michael's
Restaurant. Mothers of Agnes Scott students
and prospective students were invited. Linda
Ingram Jacob '61 is succeeding Carlene
Nickel Elrod '53 as president of the
Huntsville Club.

Kentuckiana

"Sunning, swimming, and water skiing
dominated the day's action." wrote
Kentuckiana President Edith Towers Davis
'60 after the group's annual picnic at Don
and Anne Eyler Clodfelter's '60 lakeside
home in Brownstown. Ind.. July 26. "At
sundown Don roasted bratwurst. and we
feasted on our favorite dishes." The group
had such fun that they planned another picnic
together for fall. Succeeding Edith as
president is Alice Finn Hunt '67.

Michigan-Ohio

Professor John Tumblin. chairman of the
sociology department, got up at daybreak
and flew to Detroit for the May 10 meeting
of the Michigan-Ohio Club at Win Shuler's
Restaurant. He returned to Atlanta that night
and reported "a wonderful trip." He was
met at the Detroit airport by Phyllis Hess
Twinney '54, who took him on a morning
tour of the downtown area he particularly

wanted to sec. At luncheon Dr. Tumblin
showed slides of family and campus and
spoke informally about "Change and
Continuity in a College and a Family:
1962-80."' Chairman Susan Alexander
Boone "62 wrote afterwards how much the
group had enjoyed his presentation saying,
"His talk was actually a chronological as
well as archaeological journey that took us
from the sixties to the present and from
Agnes Scott to Brazil. Peru, and Mexico,
then back to the College. His easy-going
approach made the hour delightful for all
ages present." Susan Snclling DcFurio '70
sent pictures for the Quurtcrly and wrote of
how much she had enjoyed being back on
campus during a family visit in June.

Roanoke

ALUMNAt from the Roanoke area had a
wonderful time together at a luncheon May 3
at the home of Marie Womom Rippc '64.
Honor guest and speaker was Janie Sutton
Hicks '76. assistant to the director of
admissions, who presented a College slide
show. "Janie brought us a very informative
and entertaining up-date on campus events
and changes." wrote Club President
Margaret A. Robison '75. who gave Janie a
special welcome as schoolmate and friend.
Janie said she enioyed the visit very much.
Margaret wrote that everyone "particularly
enjoyed the home atmosphere and the grand
mixture of young and older alums together in
the group."

Shreveport

Tiih suMMi R mail brought a special gift for
faculty salaries from the Shreveport Club,
which is now headed by Marguerite Morris
Saunders '35. She wrote that the group gets

together faithfully each year around
Founder's Day. this year at the home of Sara
Margaret Heard White '38. "We were so
happy to have many alumnae this year who
had never come before." said Marguerite,
who plans to have the 1981 celebration in her
home.

Suncoast

Canoeing down the Alafia River helped
Florida's Suncoast alums beat the heat and
have a great day together Saturday August
1.3. Boaters met at Valrico and paddled
downstream, slopping for lunch beside a
natural spring and for a swim in the welcome
cold water. "Toward the end of the trip."
reported President Pam Arnold Milhan '72.
"we became experienced enough canoeists
to take time to observe the natural beauty of
the river trees, turtles, and even an
alligator. It was a very convivial group, and
maybe next year we can persuade even more
people to join us!"

Tri-Cities

"Terry mcgi;he!-;s program on her travels
and crafts in India was fabulous a great
success." wrote Jennifer Meinrath Egan '67.
leader of the Tri-Cities Club after the Agnes
Scott assistant art professor spoke at their
luncheon March 22. The group varies the
location of its meetings throughout a large
interstate area, this time choosing Central
Presbyterian Church in Bristol. Va. "Her
program appealed to all age groups, from
recent high school graduates to alumnae. We
had Agnes Scotters from classes in the
twenties Marian Harper Kellogg. Harriet
Scott Bowen. and Nonnie Graham
Sanders right on up through Carol Ann
McKcnzie Fuller of '70. and we all had a
mar\'elous time together." Speaker Terry
reported on her return that she had enjoyed
the meeting and was made to feel very
welcome by all the alums. Incoming leader is
Flora Campbell McLain '43. who will plan
next year's meeting in Kingsport. Tenn.

West Georgia

Under tmi enthusiastic leadership of Cindy
Ashworth Kesler '71, alumnae of the
Carrollton. Douglasville. LaGrange. and
Newnan area have gathered to form a
brand-new club, which they have named
West Georgia. An invitation was issued for a
Coke party at the home of Jan Roush Pyles
'71 July 26. and the group is already
spreading the name of Agnes Scott and
reaching out to qualified high school students
hoping to interest them in attending the
College. Cindy has agreed to serve as the
first president and will be working with
representative alums from each city.

evening it was a fun time, and everyone
liked the idea." wrote Anne Pollard Withers
'61. president. "In late summer our officers
invited the incoming Agnes Scott students

Liz CRAIG DUBOSE '54 of Simpson-
ville. South Carolina, has become the
first female assistant superintendent
for Southeast Area Schools in the
Greenville School District. Her posi-
tion is the highest ever held by a
woman since the county school dis-
trict was established. Liz is directly
responsible for one of five areas in
the district, which is the largest in
South Carolina. The southeast area of
the district contains one vocational
school, three high schools, three
middle schools, and ten elementary
schools. Her position is also the
highest held in public school admin-
stration at the elementary and secon-
dary level in the state of South
Carolina.

Her new responsibility widens the
dimensions of an already extensive
field of service. After graduating
from Agnes Scolt, Liz taught in
Atlanta schools. Her first job in the
Simpsonville area was at a local
elementary school, followed by work
as consultant in special education.
She has earned the Master of Educa-
tion degree from Georgia State and
completed a special "Sixth Year"
program at Furman University to
qualify her for certification as a
school superintendent.

From 1975-79 Liz was principal of
Augusta Circle Elementary School in
Greenville. She took sabbatical leave
last session to complete course work
for the Doctor of Education degree at
the University of South Carolina. She
expects to write her thesis and com-
plete all requirements for the degree
soon.

Liz's professional activities in-
clude being a director of the ELECT
program of Greenville Urban
League, which seeks to prepare
women and minorities for leadership;
president of the Mental Health Asso-
ciation of Greenville County; a mem-
ber of the state-wide task force for
Effective Educational Leadership for
the Eighties; and a member of the
Governor's Task Force for Citizen
Participation in Education.

Liz is married to the Rev. Cantey
DuBose, Jr., and is the mother of
three children.

Letters to the Editor

Role Models Needed

1 read with interest the Senior Investiture
address, given by Ayse llgaz-Cardcn '66,
and reprinted in the winter 1980 Alumnuc
Quurtcrly. Ms. Ilgaz-Carden noted that
"women continue to display indications ot a
motive to avoid success." Women's fear ol
achievement, according to the speatcer. can
be expected in a society that otters few role
models of successful, achieving women and
that views achievement as inconsistent with
femininity.

Ms. Ilgaz-Carden suggested that women's
colleges are an existing answer to the need
for programs which teach "the consistency
of femaleness and achievement, in terms of
actual success experiences and active role
modeling."

What psychologists call "role-modeling"
means at Agnes Scott simply the example
and influence of strong women faculty
members. In reflecting on my own college
experience, I find that women faculty who
were at case with their own intellectual
achievement had an incalculable influence
on mc and my classmates. Those women
faculty who set high standards for their own
work in study and preparation for class and
applied those same high standards to us as
students witnessed over four years their
external standards become our internal ones.

Agnes Scott must appreciate the import-
ance of strong women faculty members as
role models if the college wishes to offer to
young women the valuable experience that I
and others have had. However, an examina-
tion of the College catalogs over the past
twenty years shows that the percentage of
women in the faculty has been constantly
declining. The January 1960 catalog shows
forty-two women and twenty-one men as
full-time faculty members. In 1965, there
were thirty-six women and twenty-four men.
In 1970. there were forty-four women and
thirty-line men. In 197.'^, there were thirty-
six women and thirty-five men. The 1979
catalog shows thirty-one women professors
and thirty-two men professors, (For all
years, 1 have not counted lecturers or
instructors, as lecturerships and instructor-
ships are not generally tenure-track posi-
tions. Nor have I counted members of the
administration or visiting faculty. I did
include faculty on leave and faculty jointly
appointed with Kmory.)

These alamiing figures demonstrate either
that the burden of cuts in overall faculty
numbers is being borne by the women
faculty or that inen faculty are being hired at
a faster rate. In either event, the conclusion
is inescapable: Agnes Scott as a women's
college has failed to recogni/e the significant
role w\)men laculty play ui the development

of its students. That lack of recognition may
deprive entering students of an influence
they desperately need. Failure to maintain a
strong female faculty puts the College in
grave danger of failing to do what it once did
best to teach women their own value and
the value of others by educating them m the
substantive areas of the curriculum and
giving them responsibility for maintaining
the community in which they live.

Fifteenth Reunion

Clais of '65 ul fiflccnlh niinuin

Looking from the back rows of Gaines out
over our sea of sisterhood during our
fifteenth class reunion, I was softly im-
pressed by those white caps of aging women.
I wondered if there were really more older
ones there this year, or was I Just beginning
to notice the graying hairs on others as well
as myself? This question has stayed w ith me
in various forms these past few weeks am I
really growing older? The years, of course,
are passing by, but how much am I growing?

I came back to this fifteenth reunion w ith a
special intent. The other reunions were full
of innocence as I must have expected people
not to have changed very much and I was
somewhat disappointed. This time, I was
truly forcing myself to come, because there
was a fear that most of us would have been
through too much to enjoy the memories of
happier times. I wondered, though, if every-
one could say, as I usually do, that the pain
and tears of the last few years are worth it.
"Things" are finally coming together for
me, and all the mistakes and false starts of
the last ten years are beginning to make
sense.

Listening and talking to as man> of our

classmates as I could, and not worrying
about whether they were truly "friends" or
not, I am now convinced that Agnes Scott
does help create a special kind of woman.
We do share a special bond beyond merely
having gone to college together. I believe
that for most of us, Agnes Scott was
instrumental in providing us a particularly
deep self-respect. As much in what it gave
us, as in what it refused to give us. in what it
made us fight for as well as what we refused
to accept. Agnes Scott gave most of us a
sense of ourselves that has stayed remarkably
strong thriiugh these past fifteen sears.

Although someone remarked that those of
us who would not have "shown well" didn't
come to the reunion, the remarkable fact is
that so many of us did come. The socials on
Friday and Saturday were well-attended,
lively and non-cliquish. There was very little
oneups(wo|manship in conversation, and
there were intelligent and provocative dis-
cussions about politics, families, or various
other interests or jobs with just the right
dab of reminiscing.

I The Investiture Address by / Dr. Margaret Pepperdene

'Woman^ 'Viace

Chairman of departmcnl Margaret Pepperdene enlivens Engliili lilerauirc.

When i was invited to be your investi-
ture speaker, I talked informally with
several of you about the subject you
wanted to think about on this special
occasion, and the topic that turned up
again and again in our discussion was,
in your words , "the woman of the 80s . ' '
In an effort to define more precisely

what you meant, you said that you
would like to reflect upon the kind of
life, both professional and personal,
which the woman will be called upon
(both by herself and by society) to live
in these last decades of what has been
for her an especially turbulent century.
It was, no doubt, inevitable in the course

of our conversation that you would
come to the questions at the heart of the
matter: whether these years at this
college for women have made any real
difference in the way you will have to,
the way you wili want to. and the way
you will be able to live your life as a
private and as a professional woman;

Winter 1981

(continued)

and. as you put it with characteristic
directness, if Agnes Scott has made a
dilYerence, you want to know what that
difference is, what these four years here
will have been worth to you as a
woman.

The very fact that you have raised
these questions about Agnes Scott and
its place in your lives as women
indicates that the time has come when
we can no longer assume what we have
taken for granted for so long that

schools, but because we could no longer
assume that everyone (even in a select
academic community) knew what liberal
learning really is. So, we had to say to
ourselves what we were about academi-
cally: we needed to remind ourselves
that humane learning is not based on
merely a varied collection of courses but
that it is a point of view towards all the
material of the curriculum; we had to
recall that its aim is never vocational or
pre-professional because it must remain

Agnes Scott's ''obstinate" and ''tougher self. . . is its
deeply imbedded and essentially unselfconscious regard
for the worth of the woman, a regard w hich has informed
this academic community from its beginning. . . .

everyone already knows what Agnes
Scott has meant to its women down
through the years, that its original and
continued relevance in their lives is
self-evident from the fierce devotion of
its graduates, a devotion that is no mere
sentimental attachment. However in-
comprehensible it might seem to those
alumnae of the 4()s or 5()s or 60s or even
early 70s, the truth is that the role of
Agnes Scott as a woman's college is not
so obvious any more. The situation is
not unlike that in which the College
found itself in relation to its liberal arts
curriculum at the end of this last decade.
All of you are aware of the number of
times we have heard from this podium
lectures on the value of a liberal arts
education. Distinguished visitors on
Honors Day or Founder's Day. as well
as members of our own faculty and
administration on occasions such as this
one, have been at pains to define the
meaning and purpose and worth of
liberal learning, not just because we at
Agnes Scott felt threatened by those
who would turn the traditional liberal
arts college (especially those for
women) into vocational training

disinterested, free of bias, to be liberal
at all; and we had to redefine for
ourselves its purpose which is what it
has always been to tell the student her
whole human story. Now, as your
questions have indicated, the time has
come when we must examine, in order
to understand, that other tacit assump-
tion on which the identity of this college
rests its value and worth and purpose
as a college for women. For, despite the
current clamor over women's liberation,
despite the conflict concerning women's
right to participate equally with men in
the economic, political, and social life
of our society, and despite the change in
society's own view of woman's place in
it, we have not yet made any real effort
to assess Agnes Scott's role and
responsibility in a revolution which
marks a singular and profound change in
the way women all women, those
who consider themselves outside the
movement as well as those who work
within it will regard themselves and
their existence into the foreseeable fu-
ture.

1 suspect that one of the reasons we
have been hesitant to speak to this \\ hole

issue is that we tend to confuse those
reasons for choosing a woman's college
in the first place with the actuiil advun-
tage that the experience finally gives its
graduates. The latter is complex and
largely unexplored; the former simple,
much discussed, and ephemeral. Think-
ing back to what you said to yourself
about coming to Agnes Scott just a little
over three years ago, you will find (at
least in retrospect) that some of the
reasons were patenth silly and paradox-
ically sexist; "Since there are no boys
around, I won't have to dress for class
and I can even go with m\ hair in
curlers"; the assumption, presumably,
is that you need be concerned about your
appearance only in the presence of your
peers of the opposite sex. Other reasons
you might have given yourself are more
sober but probably less realistic: "There
will be less social distraction and I can
study better"; or, "There will be better
opportunity to develop leadership abili-
ties in activities like student govern-
ment"; or, "I can have the chance to
find myself before I enter into any kind
of demanding relationship with anyone
else." that is, "before 1 get married."
Three years into the experience, with
graduation now a distinct reality, \ou
are very much aware that these reasons
have had little to do with what actually
has happened to you at Agnes Scott.
Instead, you realize that the\ suggest a
kind of cocoon existence unrelated to
the life of a mature woman, except to
postpone it by extending adolescence
four more years. At the same time, you
know in a visceral, if subliminal, way
that you have got something trom this
college which is humanly indispensable
to you as a woman, something which
binds you to this place and to each other
just the way it has bound Agnes Scott
women down through the years and will
hold them in time yet to come. I will try
to sa\ what I think this qualit\' is, this
advantage that is yours for ha\ ing come
here, and I w ill trv to sucsiest how it has

Agnes Scott Alumnae Quarterly

shaped Agnes Scott's role in educating
the woman not just for the present
revolution in her status but for the
resolution which must follow if she is to
have the place she really wants in the
world from now on.

If colleges, like those who inhabit
them, have identities and I think they
do . then like those same inhabitants,
colleges have secrets, private centers,
integers, out of which they move and in
terms of which they function. One can
say, for instance, that a college, like a
person, has integrity when it acts in
terms of what it knows itself to be at the
core. Eliot would call this center, this
integer, "the obstinate, the tougher
self," which governs what one is and
cannot be altered by what one wills to be
or by what one wants to be. As Eliot
says.

The self that can say 'I want this

or want that"
The self that wills he is a feeble

creature;
He has to come to terms in the end
With the obstinate, the tougher self;

who does not speak.
Who never talks, who cannot

argue. . . .
The willing self can contrive the

disaster
Of this unwilling partnership but

can only flourish
In submission to the rule of the

stronger partner.

Agnes Scott's "obstinate" and
"tougher self," its "stronger partner,"
is its deeply imbedded and essentially
unselfconscious regard for the worth of
the woman, a regard which has in-
formed this academic community from
its beginning and worked its subtle
influence into the very fabric of the
institution. I recall a conversation sever-
al of us once had with Professor
Catherine Sims, long a member of the
Agnes Scott history faculty and later
dean of Sweet Briar College, about the

Winter 1981

'7\!'M^man^^laa

kinds of changes colleges like Agnes
Scott were making in order to survive
the then-current student disenchantment
with single sex institutions. One mem-
ber of our group asked if Agnes Scott
should consider becoming co-
educational, the way some other
women's colleges were doing. Professor
Sims"s answer was prompt and succinct:
"No. Agnes Scott is going to make it as
a woman's college or not make it at
all." The force of her reply was clear; it
would be out of character for Agnes
Scott to be anything but a woman's
college; the "willing self" could "con-
trive" a change to co-education, but the
result would be "disaster"; even if the
college that emerged were a good one, it
would not be this one. Agnes Scott's
integrity would be compromised and its
identity lost.

Although never aggressively feminist
nor overtly engaged in the present
struggle for women's rights, Agnes
Scott has always been a woman's place.
It has never subscribed to the derogatory
view, commonly held by society when
Agnes Scott was founded and still
prevalent, even in some colleges for
women, that women are intellectually,
emotionally, and physically unable to
pursue with any degree of seriousness or
success a demanding course of study in
the liberal arts, or in the graduate
schools, or in preparation for the profes-
sions. Even so enlightened an educator
as Charles William Eliot, president of
Harvard University when Agnes Scott
was founded and instrumental in estab-
lishing Radcliffe College for Women in
1894, has been quoted as saying;
the great tradition of learning existing
from the time of the Egyptians to the
present, existed only for men and this
vast body of inherited tradition is of
no service to women's education
and furthermore, it would indeed be
strange if women's intellects were
not at least as unlike men's as their
bodies.

Throughout its history Agnes Scott has
refused to accept such a contemptuous
view of the woman's intellectual ability.
Instead, it has tacitly but tenaciously
acted on the conviction that for the
woman as for all human beings that
which Dante in the Convixio calls "the
proper love of myself," is. as he says,
"the beginning of all the rest." From
the day of its founding this College has
been an academic place which has
fostered (in the root meaning of that
word, from the Old English fostriitn.
"to provide with food") in its women
the discovery (literally, the un-covering)
of a sense of self-worth. The College
continuously has conferred a sense of
community which, as Howard Lowry
says, "answers to one of the deepest

music, dancing, poetry, physiology, and
lawn tennis). Agnes Scott from its
beginning chose a rigorous classical
curriculum which was steadily aug-
mented by new knowledge, the kind of
curriculum which of itself honors the
woman student intellectualh' and emo-
tionally. A student entering Agnes Scott
in 1911. just five years after it had
offered its first degrees, was required to
present for admission three years of
English, three of Latin, three of mathe-
matics, two of Greek or German or
French, one of history, and three elec-
tives from the sciences, foreign lan-
guages, or history. The curriculum
leading to the degree built upon these
strong entrance requirements; students
were required to take advanced study in

assurance, however unselfconscious, that women are

human needs, the need for belonging."
exposing the student to her individual
weaknesses but also making her aware
of the "shining margin of possibility for
herself and for others" and directing her
"to what she can love and honor and
serve." In this atmosphere, at once
protective and provocative, the College
has nurtured this proper self-regard in
the best ways possible for a college for
women; by the substance and quality of
the curriculum it has maintained down
through the years, and by the kind of
faculty it has sought, got. and kept.

Unlike many women's colleges,
which designed their curricula to accom-
modate the woman's so-called "frail-
ties" and her role as wife and mother
and offered courses in what M. Carey
Thomas. Bryn Mawr's famous feminist
president, disparagingly called "elegant
accomplishments" (i.e.. needlework.

Latin, in Greek or German or French, in
English literature, history, mathematics
and laboratory sciences (two years if
none offered for admission). Electives
were offered in the "new fields of
learning," new for undergraduate col-
leges at that time. For instance, there
was a course in General Sociology,
which included a study of the legal
status of women before women even had
the right to vote; a course in Socialism
and Social Movements, in Labor Prob-
lems, Social Psychology, and Municipal
Problems, concerned with population,
city planning, and the socio-economic
problems of the modern city a course
which in the innovative curriculum of
the 1960s was called Urban Develop-
ment. By 1916, President James Ross
McCain, then professor of history,
economics, and sociology, taught a
course one could not ha\'e found in a

for women), entitled. Dependents. De-
fectives, and Delinquents (possibly
close to what we now call Deviant
Behavior); the course description is
fascinating:

A general study of poverty, pauper-
ism, unemployment, the tramp prob-
lem, insanity, degeneracy, and
crime. It will include a first-hand
investigation of the slums, the hous-
ing of the poor, reformation and
prison methods.
A course hardly conceived to lead to
"elegant accomplishments" or to pro-
tect delicate female sensibilities! In the
next few years, as the graduate schools
prepared professional academics in new
fields of study, many of these women
and men joined the Agnes Scott faculty
to teach courses whose titles have a
curiously contemporary ring: Evolution
and Genetics, Foreign Trade and Ex-
change, Public Finance and Taxation.
Radioactivity and Atomic Structure, and
Geometry of Space. By 1930 the Col-
lege had included psychology as one of
its requirements for the degree and
established a department of psychology
that offered advanced courses in child,
adolescent, social, abnormal, and ex-
perimental psychology. In contrast to
most undergraduate colleges in the
nation in 1930 and certainly to those in
the southern region Agnes Scott's
academic program was on the cutting
edge of the frontiers of new learning.
Now, fifty years later, the College still
holds to its conviction that the tradition-
al curriculum of the liberal arts, con-
tinuously infused with new knowledge,
recognizes the woman's ability and her
worth, that it serves her in the way it has
served the man down through the
centuries as the best possible basis upon
which to build a professional career in
law or business or medicine, and that to
interlard this curriculum now with voca-
tional courses meant to produce salable

skills in the job market would simply be
substituting "inelegant accomplish-
ments" for those "elegant" ones that
Agnes Scott chose never to offer its
women. Both demean the intelligence
and the value of the woman by refusing
to take seriously her personal worth and
professional promise.

In the first half of this century, when
there were relatively few universities
offering advanced degrees of any quali-
ty, and even fewer allowing women to
seek them, Agnes Scott sought out and
brought to its faculty more women with
Ph.D. degrees than men. encouraged its
own graduates to take advanced degrees
at the finest universities, and often
placed them on its faculty when they
did. And. at a time when most universi-
ties and colleges, including many col-
leges for women, had nothing more than
a token woman on their faculties (usual-
ly on the instructor level or on a
part-time arrangement), the array of
women professors at this College with
Ph.D. degrees from distinguished insti-
tuitons was impressive, and the ratio of
women to men on this faculty was
staggering. For example, in 1917. of the
twenty members of the Agnes Scott
faculty, fifteen were women, five of
whom held Ph.D. degrees (in classics
from Cornell; in German from Colum-
bia; two in chemistry, one from Bryn
Mawr and the other from The Johns
Hopkins; and one in religion from
Wooster) and one held the M.D. degree
(from Syracuse University.) Among
those holding the M.A. degree on the

faculty in that year were two Agnes
Scott graduates who had taken their
advanced degrees from Columbia and
Chicago. By 1930, when the faculty had
doubled in size to forty members,
thirty-three of them were women, of
whom twelve held the Ph.D. degrees
and one the M.D. degree. (Again, these
women had their training in the finest
universities: Columbia, Cornell, Johns
Hopkins, Chicago, Pennsylvania, and
Wisconsin.) Among the faculty holding
the M.A. degree in that year were eight
Agnes Scott graduates. Neither the
depression nor the war seems to have
affected the traditional constituency of
this faculty, for in 1950, with a faculty
of forty-three, thirty-three were women
and, of these, nineteen held the Ph.D.
degree and one the M.D., and by now
there were two Agnes Scott graduates
among those holding the highest degree:
one earned the Ph.D. in English from
Yale and the other the Ph.D. in biology
from North Carolina.

These women, who had literally
broken the barriers against women in the
academic profession, who were pub-
lishing scholars and excellent teachers,
imbued . their students by their very
presence in the classroom and on the
campus-at-large with the assurance,
however unselfconscious, that women
are the intellectual equal of men and
capable of the highest achievements in
those professions traditionally the pro-
vince of men. Nor did these women
faculty live a life sheltered from the
affairs of the world. Their active con-
cern with and participation in cultural,
civic, and political activities of the
whole region were reminders of their
place in it and their value to it. For
example. Professor Florence Smith, a
member of the history faculty from
1927-1965, was a violinist with the
struggling young Atlanta symphony. A
number of women faculty, including
Professor Ellen Douglass Leyburn of the
English department and Professor

Winter 1981

. . . the graduate of Agnes Scott assumed she could honor her
personal self by following a profession, or taking on business,
cultural, or civic responsibilities, and recognize her human need
as wife and mother without denying either her professional, feminist
right or her private, human need.

Josephine Bridgman of the biology
department, were closely associated
during the 1950s and 1960s with a group
of black women in Atlanta trying to
bring about peaceful social integration
of the races. Professor Leslie Gaylord of
the mathematics department worked
with Morris Abrams, an attorney in
Fitzgerald, Ga., and later president of
Brandeis University, to rid the state of
the county unit system and thereby
break the hold of the county courthouse
crowd over Georgia politics. These
kinds of efforts may seem small, but in
those dangerous and troublesome times
they were a gift to the human commun-
ity, as were the women who made them.
Shaped by the great humanities in
which she was tutored, nourished by a
faculty that valued self-definition, and
provided always with that sense of
belonging that cushioned but encour-
aged the risk of individuation, the
woman at Agnes Scott down through the
years has discovered that she is. as
Donne would say, "something worth."
She has learned, too, that this proper
regard for self is exactly what Dante
says it is; "the beginning of all the
rest." Out of this proper self-love,
demonstrated so powerfully by Cordelia
in that famous first scene of the play
when she tries to remind Lear of his
self-respect by speaking in terms of her
own, come all the great human virtues:
"dignity, strength, simplicity, courage,
straightness of spine," (in Danby's
lovely words) and the greatest of them
all, charity (S. Bernard's caritas). the
ability to love another, someone outside
oneself, precisely because one knows
and respects and loves her own person.
This sense of self characterized the
Agnes Scott woman even in those years
when it was a given of society that
woman's place was in the home, taking
care of her husband and children.
During that time most Agnes Scott
women married soon after graduation,
as did their sisters at Wellesley, Vassar,
Smith, and even Bryn Mawr, although I

do not think any woman's college in
those days could match the statistics M.
Carey Thomas claimed for her Bryn
Mawr graduates in one of her most
famous slips: "Thirty percent of our
graduates marry and fifty percent have
children." Yet, even in those years
when custom demanded a particular
kind of existence for the woman, the
graduate of Agnes Scott assumed she
could honor her personal self by follow-
ing a profession, or taking on business,
cultural, or civic responsibilities, and
recognize her human need as wife and
mother without denying either her pro-
fessional, feminist right or her private,
human need. One choice did not obviate
the other, and Agnes Scott wives be-
came doctors and lawyers and business
women and teachers.

Now, in the closing decades of the
twentieth century, the woman expects
(and is expected) to be both a profes-
sional person and a wife: what was once
an option is now an absolute econo-
mic, social, and personal absolute. And,
as recent events have shown, not all
women have been able to manage this
change in their lives. In an essay sharply
critical of the way some members of the
woman's movement have trivialized
what Shulamith Firestone has called
"the second wave of the most important
revolution in history," Joan Didion
rebukes these women for turning this
chance for growth and renewal into
"totting up the pans scoured, the towels
picked off the bathroom floor, the loads
of laundry done" or for working out
marriage contracts that read "wife strips
beds, husband remakes them," or.
worst of all, for behaving like "perpet-
ual adolescents" in throwing over a life
with husband and children to go "find
themselves" in the Big Apple and there
to play out "their college girl's dream"
of "becoming this famous writer" or
being that "gifted potter." She goes on
to remind them that they have forgotten
what it means to live actual lives with
actual men, and in so doing they are

denying to themselves "the real genera-
tive possibilities of adult sexual life."
Helen Vendler speaks in much the same
vein, complaining not so much about
those who trivialize the movement as
about those who traumatize it with what
she calls "the prejudices of radical
feminism" "the puritanical regroup-
ing of women without men. the new
theology of male evil. . .there-writing
of history," and those who call the
world, in Adrienne Rich's burning rhe-
toric, "a world masculinity made/ Unfit
for women or men." As Miss Vendler
observes somewhat ruefully, none of
these radical stances offers "a solution
to the problems they confront."

It would be presumptuous to suggest
that there is any single solution to all the
problems which the awakening of the
woman has provoked. There is no doubt
that for years to come she will be coping
with and struggling against what has
been called

the real elements of historical and
social evil which contribute to the
oppression of women. Selfish or
unprincipled doctors, puritanical
clergy, prejudiced professionals,
vanishing fathers, brutish husbands
are all real agents of the suffering of
women.

Nor is there any real doubt that during
these same years she will be working
through and trying to find again a proper
relationship with her erstwhile compan-
ion, the man, who has had to endure
with her the predicament of estrange-
ment and who is sometimes as bewil-
dered and rebellious and fearful as she.
During these years of change and stress,
the essence of the woman's strength and
the only constant on which she can
depend is her sense of her own worth,
her self-regard. Her proper love of self
can be for her the beginning of all the
rest of her life. If this College, this
woman's place, has given you this place
in \ou. its women, then it. like you. is
"something worth." ^

Agnes Scott Alumnae Quarterly

Update

The Department of Physical Education

By Dr. Kay Mimucl

Those of us in the physical education
department who have been here twenty
years were highly amused last spring on
Alumnae Day. An alumna, early 1920
vintage, happy to be back on the campus
after many years, came merrily into the
Bucher Scott Gymnasium and said,
"Oh, I am so glad to see the new gym."
For her it was new: it was built in 1924.
The structure is the same (just more
antiquated) main gymnasium, stage.
swimming pool, and one large locker
room.

The building is old. but we feel we
have kept up with "'the times"" in our
program. With all the emphasis placed
on physical fitness in recent years, we
find the majority of the students willing
and agreeable to participate in physical
education for si.x quarters. Some of them
take classes during their junior and
senior years to continue a regular pro-
gram of activity.

The Department of Physical Educa-
tion believes that participation in sports
activities plays an important role in the
physical, mental, and social develop-
ment of each student. Through the
required two-year program, the depart-
ment provides a wide variety of curricu-
lar activities which accommodate
varying levels of skills and abilities. At
the present time, classes are taught in
archery, badminton, ballet, basketball,
fencing, fundamentals, gymnastics and
tumbling, jazz, life saving, riding, soft-
ball, swimming, synchronized swim-
ming, tennis, volleyball, water safety
instructors, and aerobic, folk, square,
tap, social, and modern dance.

In addition to the physical education
classes, opportunities for participation
are available in the intramural program,
intercollegiate athletics, the Studio
Dance Theatre, and the Dolphin Club.

Intramural activities change periodi-
cally according to the interests of the
students. Those of you who remember
the great class rivalry in team sports will
be surprised to know very little of that
exists. A sister-class hockey game for

Dr. Manuel, department chairman

Black Cat has been the only class
competition in hockey for the past few
years. This year the game ended in a 0-0
tie. The elimination of Saturday classes,
all students permitted to have cars, and
the freedom of mobility on weekends
have all contributed to the lack of
interest in Friday afternoon intramural
games.

Basketball is still popular for a few
students. The intramural program
switched from class teams to dorm
teams and back to class teams. Each
year a few new students who have been
star players in high school form the
nucleus of the intramural basketball
teams.

Softball is at present the most popular
intramural sport. Each dormitory has a
Softball team. and. after a round robin
tournament during the spring quarter.
Agnes Scott has its own All Star Softball
Game preceding the Athletic Associa-
tion picnic.

There is still an intramural swimming
meet, in fact, sometimes two or three a

year. While the freshmen traditionally
win the intramural swimming meet, the
Class of 1979 upset that tradition by
being victorious for three years in a row.

What about intercollegiate sports? In
spite of the fact that we are limited by
our facilities and by the time students
can give, we are competing on an
intercollegiate level in some sports. The
College belongs to the Association of
Intercollegiate Athletics for Women, a
necessity if one wishes to compete on an
intercollegiate level. The tennis team,
competing in Division III (colleges and
universities with less than 3,000
women), had a winning season last
spring, placing fifth out of nine in the
Georgia Intercollegiate Tennis Tourna-
ment. The overall results for the thir-
teen-member team were eight wins, six
losses, and one tie. Maria Luisa Inserni
'83 (mother, Molly Milam Inserni '45)
was selected as a member of the
All-State Team. Coach Jo Ann Messick
has worked hard with the tennis team
and expects to see a better season this
spring.

The hockey team, coached by Kate
McKemie, has had games with the
University of the South. Vanderbilt
University, and the Georgia Club this
past fall. While Agnes Scott cannot
claim a winning season, the games were
exciting, and freshmen new at the sport
had their first opportunity to play in an
intercollegiate game.

We have had some interest in cross
country running the past two years. Last
year Bob Leslie, in the mathematics
department, worked with the students,
running with them and coaching. This
year Gue' Pardue Hudson '68, class
dean for freshmen and sophomores, is
adding coach to her title and working
with the cross country team. They
competed in the Georgia Invitational
Cross Country Meet in October.

The cross country season is over for
the fall, but the runners and coach
continue to work, do warm-up exer-

cises. and all run together in preparation
for a spring meet.

We do not have an intercollegiate
Softball team. However, last spring.
about a dozen of the intramural softball
players decided to form an Agnes Scott
team. Under the superb coaching of
Steve Carter, husband of Eloise Carter,
instructor in biology, the Agnes Scott
Softball team beat an Emory University
intramural softball team 9-1 . This spring
we are hoping to schedule several
softball games with colleges and univer-
sities in the Atlanta area.

Under the leadership of Marylin Darl-
ing, the Studio Dance Theatre has
presented excellent programs the past
several years. Mrs. Darling, well trained
in all areas of the dance, incorporates
many forms of dance into the annual
Studio Dance Theatre production. One

of the highlights of the year is the
'"Kids' Show." Elementary school chil-
dren are invited to the campus for a
special production for young children. It
is wonderful to see the auditorium filled
with youngsters responding enthusias-
tically to the performance.

Studio Dance Theatre generally spon-
sors two master classes a year conducted
by outstanding dancers. Recent classes
have been taught by Da\id Roche,
Florida State University; Luci Bemhorn.
dance therapist; Tom Pazik. assistant
artistic director of the Atlanta Ballet;
and Joanne McGhee. artist in the
Schools for the United States.

The Dolphin Club is still active on the
campus. Most of the work of the club is
directed toward the annual water show
held in February, coinciding with Soph-
omore Parents" Weekend. In 1959 the

dates set aside for the Dolphin Club
water show were the same as for
Sophomore Parents" Weekend. The
committee working on plans for the
weekend decided that the parents might
enjoy seeing a water show. It was so
successful that for twenty years the
Dolphin Club water show has been
included in the activities for parents
during Sophomore Parents" Weekend.
In addition to presenting a water show,
the Dolphin Club has done a variety of
other things, such as competing in
Amateur Athletic Union meets, attend-
ing National Institute for Creative Aqua-
tics workshops, conducting workshops,
and giving demonstrations.

Department Personnel

Marylin Darling, M.M., Florida State
University, came to Agnes Scott in
1971. Mrs. Darling teaches classes in
ballet, jazz, modern, folk, square, so-
cial, and tap dance, and is director of the
Studio Dance Theatre. She also teaches
Introduction to the Dance, a course in
the historical background of the dance,
offered jointly by the Departments of
Physical Education and Theatre.

Mrs. Darling has spent part of the last
two summers attending dance work-
shops. During the summer of 1979 she
took part in the teachers' update work-
shop at Duke University. Last summer.
Mrs. Darling was pri\ileged to be a
participant in the first body therapy

Agnes Scott Alumnae Quarterly

workshop also held at Duke University.
This workshop involved trying out ideas
shaped by Laban and learning the
techniques of Bartenieff, Feldenkrais,
Alexander, and Todd-Sweigard in an
attempt to create a dialogue between
"science" and "intuition" for under-
standing the human body. Mrs. Darling
will have a sabbatical leave next year
and plans to study the folk dance of
Georgia.

Kay Manuel, P. ED., Indiana Uni-
versity, was appointed chairman of the
department in 1980. Dr. Manuel teaches
all levels of swimming (intermediate
through water safety instructors), fenc-
ing, volleyball, and softball. She has
participated in Red Cross workshops
and clinics for instructor trainers and has
been part of a team of instructor trainers
that has held special clinics to re-certify
Red Cross water safety instructors in the
Atlanta area.

Still interested in competitive swim-
ming. Miss Manuel occasionally com-
petes in masters swimming meets. Many
of you will be interested to know that
Dr. Elizabeth Zenn, chairman of the
Department of Classical Languages and
Literatures, also participates in these
meets. Miss Manuel and Miss Zenn both
subscribe to the dictum of the Roman
satirist Juvenal, Mens sana in corpore
sano. In addition to her teaching duties,
Miss Manuel is advisor to the Dolphin
Club and works with intramural vol-
leyball and Softball.

Kate McKemie, Ed.D., University of
Tennessee, became chairman of the
department in 1967, when Llewellyn
Wilbum retired, and served in that
position until the chairmanship was
rotated in 1980. Dr. McKemie teaches a
variety of activities including tennis,
field hockey, fundamentals, and
elementary games. She also serves as
advisor to the Athletic Association and
field hockey coach.

A RHODES SCHOLAR is an ordinary person?
That's the claim ol" Agnes Scott"s
Rhodes Scholar lia L. Burdette "81, the
first Agnes Scott student and the first
woman in Georgia to win one of the
international scholarships since they
were first opened to women five years
ago.

lla is one of thirteen women and
nineteen men from the United States
awarded a Rhodes this year. Next
October she will join an international
group chosen from seventeen countries
for study at Oxford University in Eng-
land.

"I don't think of myself as extraordi-
nary." she said when asked how it felt
to be a Rhodes Scholar, '"rm just lla."

And who is lla'? She's a tall woman,
six-feet, who carries herself with ease
and "with a straightbacked dignity." in
the words of Professor Margaret W.
Pepperdene, who has taught lla English
literature. Wavy brown hair falls below
this twcntv-one-vear-old's shoulders

and frames a face graced with deep,
brown eyes. Her brow often wrinkles in
thought and her hands remain calniK
clasped in her lap or gracefully resting
on the armchair as she considers a
question.

Home is Hogansville, a small com-
munity about one and a half hours
southwest of Atlanta. Her mother
teaches gifted students, and her father is
a controller with a local textile manufac-
turing plant. Her brother. Brooks, is a
sophomore at Wofford College and her
"best friend."

Ila's professors and fellow students
describe her as modest even a bit shy,
incapable of envy or condescension,
completely honest and sincere, caring
and concerned, quiet yet effective as a
leader, a great listener, and, as one
would expect of a Rhodes Scholar,
brilliant.

As a scholar in her major, mathema-
tics, and in other fields, lla has been
praised b\ her professors as a true

intellectual. "She never works simply
for grades," stated Professor Pepper-
dene, chairman of the English depart-
ment. "The grades she has earned,
whether in literature, art, history,
mathematics, or French, reflect her
intellectual curiosity, her deep enjoy-
ment in learning, her intellectual ener-
gy, and her self-discipline and motiva-
tion."

Professor Albert D. Sheffer, Jr., of
the mathematics department commented
that lla "possesses a healthy dose of
mtellectual curiosity" and that "her
questions are probing and indicate an
underlying depth of thought." Professor
Sara L. Ripy, chairman of the depart-
ment, said that "at times Ila's approach
to a problem or to a proof was not the
usual one, but an ingenious one."

Professor Frances C. Calder, chair-
man of the French department, taught
lla in the freshman Honors French
course and said that "to each course lla
has brought the spirit of inquir\ and the
determination to master, which char-
acterizes the true intellectual."

As lla has done what seems to come
naturally for her. she has at the same
time garnered man\ of the top awards at
Agnes Scott, just as she did in high
school. She entered Agnes Scott as
Georgia's first female STAR student
and as a National Merit Scholar. .At
Agnes Scott she has been awarded two
Stukes Scholarships as the top-ranking
student in her class and three Dana
Scholarships for her academic and
leadership achievements.

Intellectual brilliance. howe\er. is not
all that is required of a Rhodes Scholar.
Established in 1902 m the w ill of British
philanthropist and colonial pioneer Cecil
J. Rhodes, the scholarships are awarded
to men and women whose "combined
intellect and character offer promise of
eftective service to the wdrld in decades
ahead. "

Those who know lla perceive her as
capable of offering that leadership. Her

classmates have elected her to serve
them on Honor Court for four consecu-
tive years, this year as chairman of that
judicial body. She is captain of the
College Bowl team and a member of
Mortar Board. This fall her senior
classmates elected her to Who's Who
Among Students in American Universi-
ties and Colleges.

Karen Tapper "81, who has served
with Ila on Honor Court, describes Ila as
"a sympathetic listener and a person of
compassion and fairness."

Susan Nicol '81, a popular campus
leader who counts Ila as one of her close
friends, said, "We seniors consider Ila
as someone special, not just because
she's smart, but because of the kind of
person she is. She's a great listener and
counselor."

As Julia T. Gary, Dean of the
College, wrote in her letter of recom-
mendation for Ila to the Rhodes selec-
tion committee, "Ila embodies a rare
combination of qualities a sharp and
perceiving mind, personal charm, abso-
lute integrity, and strong and calm
leadership ability. She is, I am sure,
destined for continued leadership in
whatever vocation she chooses."

The vocation Ila has chosen is
architecture. She now works part-time
in an architectural firm in Atlanta and
plans to attend graduate school in
architecture when she returns from
England.

"Architecture fascinates me," Ila
explained, "because it offers an oppor-
tunity to influence in a positive way
people's feelings about themselves and
their surroundings. The profession com-
bines art, mathematics, and interaction
with a great variety of people."

When Ila travels to England this fall,
she will be making her second trip to
Oxford University. She first visited the
University last summer as a member of
the Agnes Scott summer study program
in England and Scotland led by Profes-
sor Michael J. Brown of the history

department. This time at Oxford, Ila
will study for a bachelor's degree in the
"Final Honours School of English."
She has applied to the colleges of Christ
Church, St. Johns, and Trinity.

She said she is looking forward to
"the intellectual and social experience
of studying and interacting with people
from all over the world. I plan to travel
and would especially like to go to
Greece and Italy to study ancient
architecture."

Ila's benefactor. Mr. Rhodes, would
approve of her plans. He dreamed of
"bettering the lot of mankind through
the diffusion of leaders motivated to
serve their contemporaries, trained in
the contemplative life of the mind, and
broadened by their acquaintance with
one another and by their exposure to
cultures different from their own." If
past and future Rhodes Scholars are like
Ila Burdette. Mr. Rhode's dream must
be coming true. ^

Ila's activities include fencing.

Reflections in a Political Eye

By Goudyloch (Gidds ) Erwin Dvcr '38

Whats a nice Agnes Scott girl doing in
the Illinois legislature? It's probably the
result of political genes, humanistic
parents, and the Agnes Scott ambience
that without feminist rhetoric imprinted
a clear message of the moral imperative
to fulfill one"s potential.

One thing is certain. If my Georgia
grandmother had foreseen that her
namesake would be elected to public
office at age forty-two and spend the
next twenty years of her life campaign-
ing, she most surely would have sug-
gested a name with more ballot appeal
than Goudyloch. The Scottish meaning
of "golden lake" has poetic beauty: but
in my conservative Republican county
in Illinois. Prudence v\ould have more

Goudyloch (Giddy) Erwiii Dyer '38 is
ciirrenlly serving her sixth term in the
General Assembly of Illinois. In 1976
she was reelected by the highest vote
total of any House member in Illinois.
Her major legislative accomplishments
have been in the fields of conservation,
health, education, local government,
and women's rights. She serves on the
Higher Education and Counties and
Townships Committees. Her Commis-
sion assignments are Status of Women
and Commission on Children.

Giddy Dyer received the Woman of
the Year Award in 1973 from the
Hinsdale Chapter of National Federa-
tion of Business ami Professional
Women's Clubs. In 1978 she received a
Friend of Higher Education Award from

drawing power. Trusting a person nick-
named "Giddy" to be fiscally responsi-
ble for an eleven billion dollar state
budget has surely been an act of faith by
the voters!

So how did this mid-life political
career get its start'.' In 1961 there was a
scandal on our county board, which
forced the local Republican leaders to
look outside the ranks of regulars to seek
so-called "blue ribbon" citizen candi-
dates.

During the 50s I had filled the role of
the typical mother in suburbia - volun-
teering in the community as Sundas
school teacher, hospital aide. Cub Scout
den mother and the like. I learned the
theory of government from the League
of Women Voters and the ABCs of
practical politics from Republican work-
shops. By the I960 election. I was
knee-deep in grass-root politics, walk-
ing a precinct as conimittecwoman. Our
precinct attracted attention by turning
out the largest number of voters in the
county.

So selection to be the first woman to
run for the DuPage County Board was a

logical step. I campaigned wearing
white gloves, to demonstrate that "poli-
tics is not really dirty."

Serving on that board as the only
woman with thirty men my first two
years was a challenge. The first day 1
was greeted with the friendly remark.
"I'll bet \our children are at home
playing with matches!" This was in the
early 60s. remember, before Betty
Friedan's Feminine Mystique changed
our lives.

After two four-year terms on the
County Board, 1 seized a chance to run
for a vacant seat in the legislature. It was
a hard fought battle, but I won and have
been reelected five times.

What was it like in the Illinois
General Assembly in the 70s.' When I
was sworn in as a freshman legislator in
January. 1969. there were only four
women in the entire body of 236
members. We were only a pinch of salt
in the legislative process. Now there are
twenty-seven women legislators in Illi-
nois. We are a cake of yeast a real
leavening inlluence on legislation.

My committee assignments during
twelve years have covered a wide range
revenue, elections, local govern-
ment, human services, and higher edu-
cation.

To be an effective legislator one must
become a recognized expert in a particu-
lar field. I chose higher education and
became chair of that committee when
our party had the majority. The chief
thrust of my bills in that area was to
narrow the tuition gap between public
and private colleges. My liberal arts
education at Agnes Scott gave me a
lasting respect for the irreplaceable
value of small private colleges in our
society.

The area of legislation that gave me
the deepest agony and the highest
ecstasy was the struggle to ratify the

12

Agnes Scott Alumnae Quarterly

Dyer campaigns with Betty Ford in '76.

Equal Rights Amendment. My service
on the Commission on the Status of
Women and the Commission on Chil-
dren had alerted me to the need for
change in our legal treatment of women
and children in America. When the
Equal Rights Amendment was passed by
Congress in 1972 and sent to the state
legislatures for ratification, I became the
first Republican sponsor in Illinois.

Our Illinois struggle for ratification
has been so highly publicized nationally
that there is no need to go into detail
here. It is sufficient to say that the chief
problem in Illinois continues to be the
requirement of a three-fifths majority
vote for passage in both house and
senate. The Equal Rights Amendment
has been approved by a majority of each
house of the Illinois legislature at least
twice.

The greatest ecstasy came when ERA
received 113 votes in the Illinois house
in 1975 despite the interruption of the
roll call by evacuation of all the
members for a bomb alert. The agony
came the next month when the Senate
failed to give a three fifths majority
vote.

But what about changing attitudes
toward women legislators in the decade
of the seventies? Has the women's
movement had an effect? Definitely,
yes.

In the years before 1972, when the
struggle for ratification of ERA began,
women in the Illinois legislature were
treated like bright children. There was
courtesy and chivalry on the surface, but
there was an undercurrent of conde-
scending paternalism designed to keep
us in our place. The password in
committee was, "Let's give the little
lady's bill a Yes vote" whether the
little lady's bill was headed for ultimate
passage or death-with-dignity.

Since 1972 we have been treated like
adolescents. There is increased respect
and recognition of women's legislative
ability. However, this is tempered by a
tinge of hostility with an underlying fear
of loss of control. The increasing num-
ber of women elected to the Illinois
General Assembly each year has fed this
fear.

Our crowning achievement this ses-
sion was formation of the Conference of
Women Legislators. Twenty-five of the
twenty-seven women now serving in the
Illinois legislature are active members.
We have a breakfast meeting each week
to discuss our individual bills and to
formulate legislation for promotion by
the group. Examples of the latter are
bills to: outlaw strip searches of women
without due process; cope with the
problems of adolescent motherhood;
expedite child support payments; set up
re-entry programs for displaced home-
makers: and remedy the disparity be-
tween programs for men and women in
Illinois prisons.

What do I foresee in the next decade?
With more women being elected to the
legislatures each year, there is the
opportunity for women to achieve fully
adult recognition and power. Politics is
a numbers game. Of course, women
must continue to vote as individuals
representing varied districts, but when
an issue of mutual concern is at stake, a
large united group can create a powerful
voting bloc.

Women in 1980 are at the cross-
roads. We can continue to move forward
or we can regress. Dangerous clouds of
reaction are on the horizon. If the Equal
Rights Amendment fails to pass, the
storm of backlash may break. Without a
constitutional guarantee of women's
equality under law. Congress and the
state legislatures may repeal many of
our hard won gains.

So I urge you to take the plunge and
run for your state legislature or Con-
gress. It's exciting to be in the eye of the
hurricane as a decision maker. At this
moment in time women in politics have
several advantages they are generally
perceived as being honest and willing to
work hard. The disadvantage is that they
are expected to be simultaneously super
legislator, super wife, and super mom.

For armor in the male dominated
political arena you will need the intellec-
tual discipline you gained at Agnes Scott
coupled with the sense of humor you
developed as a den mother. Remember
that "there is no such thing as a bad
boy . ' '

For your preparatory text, please
re-read Stephen Vincent Benet's poem,
"John Brown's Body." Those great-
grandmothers who supervised planta-
tions are our role models. Reared to be
magnolia blossoms "Till, little by
little and stitch by stitch/ The girl is put
in her proper niche" they emerged
with petals of steel:

She was often mistaken, not

often blind.
And she knew the whole duty

of womankind.
To take the burden and

have the power
And seem like the well-protected

flower.
To manage a dozen industries
With a casual gesture in scraps

of ease.
To hate the sin and love

the sinner
And to see that the gentlemen

got their dinner.

jean Hodgens Leeper '57
Shenandoah, Iowa

In 1977, I was elected to a three-year
term as board member (a non-partisan
elective position) in the Shenandoah
Community School District and was
reelected in September this year to
another three-year term. In both elec-
tions I had opposition, and evidently my
newcomer status in the community was
not as frightening to voters as my
challengers had hoped. Our family
moved to southwestern Iowa in late
1975 when my husband accepted the
call of the United Presbyterian Church
to serve as pastor in Shenandoah.

The Board elected me president the
last two years.

When I was first elected to the School
Board, 1 expected my responsibility to

be similar to volunteer positions I had
assumed in the past. What a surprise to
find myself in politicsl

1 have learned that the decisions I
make on the Board intluence the person-
al lives and finances of practicall\'
everyone in the community, and they
want to communicate with me on these
matters. People confront me wherever I
am: club meetings, grocery stores, ball
games, the library, and even funerals,
but especially at home. Since I am close
to those I represent, 1 sometimes feel
that this is the purest democracy. It is
trying at times, but I find satisfaction in
serving.

My experience and observation on the
Board has been that women give more
time and study to issues and are more
willing (and able?) to attend workshops
and special meetings. I suspect that
because we are still a minority we feel
that we are "#2 and must try harder."

I AM A DEMOCRAT and served in the
Alabama House of Representatives two
four-year terms from 1963 through 1971

in the state of Alabama.

At the end of my first term, I was

"Outstanding Woman of Alabama."

In 1964, I became an officer in the
Order of Women Legislators (OWL),
then served in various other offices and
finally in 1970 became national presi-
dent of this Order of Women Legisla-
tors. Still active in this national group, I
am serving on the Board of Directors of
the OWLs for 1 980-8 1 .

When the legislative women of Ala-

a little plastic "bee" pin. Coincidentally
the bee is the official North Carolina

I am a member of the Democratic

since 1975.

In the 1979 general assembly I was

Governmental Ethics, and during 1 980 I
have been chairman of the Legislative
Ethics Committee (the watchdog com-

Community Colleges. 1 also was floor
leader to kill a bill to lower the
separation time for no fault divorce from
one year to six months. Strangely
enough I received mail from all over the
United States commending my action in
preventing this bill from passing into
law. I will go into this 1981 session
January 14, 1981, with enough seniority
to chair another committee. ..

Physical Education Department ifrompage9)

Dantorth Associate. A Danlorth Associ-
ate, as described by the Dantorth Foun-
dation, is considered an outstanding
college teacher who not only has an
interest in scholarship, but seeks to
improve faculty-student relationships.
The individual selected is one who
shows a strong concern for students, a
concern for values, and an awareness of
contemporary educational issues. The
physical education department is proud
that Miss McKemie is a Dantorth
Associate.

Jo Ann Messick, M.S., Indiana Uni-
versity, came to Agnes Scott in 1979 as
physical education instructor and tennis
coach. Miss Messick teaches tennis,
golf, archery, basketball, and badmin-
ton and works with intramural basket-
ball in addition to her coaching duties.

As a member of the Georgia Field
Hockey Club, Miss Messick spends
many weekends traveling in the South-
east to play in field hockey games and
tournaments. Last year she was selected
to the Southeast I Field Hockey Team
which competed in the national tourna-
ment in New Jersey.

For several summers, Agnes Scott has
had a tennis program offering group and
private lessons. Miss Messick, who was
in charge of the program this summer,
introduced coed team tennis which gave

the participants the opportunity to play
singles and doubles on Monday and
Wednesday evenings. This proved to be
a very successful part of the program
which she plans to continue next year.

A description of the physical educa-
tion department cannot be completed
without mentioning two people who had
long careers in the department. Harriette
Haynes Lapp, who died in March 1978,
spent over forty years teaching at Agnes
Scott. She is remembered with fondness
by many of you for her genuine interest
in and concern for students.

Llewellyn Wilburn retired in 1967.
For more than forty years Miss Wilburn
taught in and led the Department of
Physical Education. Her accomplish-
ments have been many, and those of us
presently on the staff are most grateful
to her for developing a fine program and
maintaining high standards. It is hard to
"fill her shoes," and there are many
times when we wish she were back to
share her wealth of experience with us.

Miss Wilburn, who lives in Decatur,
keeps very busy. She does many things
to occupy her time, including playing
golf. No matter where one goes
alumnae functions or professional meet-
ings, there is someone who asks about
Llewellyn Wilburn. The physical educa-
tion department is indebted to her for her

Kay Manuel coaches swimming.

concern, interest, and leadership.

Changing with the Times

While the kind of activities taught in
the service program have not changed
much, the rules very definitely have.
There is very little difference between
men's and women's basketball; fencing
rules are practically identical for the two
sexes; volleyball rules are the same for
men and women; and changes in field
hockey rules have made it a faster game
(if that is possible) and one requiring
more endurance.

Uniforms HAVE changed! The dan-
cers wear tights and leotards no more
short little skirts over the leotards.
Those blue wrap-around dance skirts
many Agnes Scott students wore have
been re-made into delightful skirts for
the tennis team. While the swimmers
still wear tank suits, they are made of
nylon or lycra. Students no longer have
to worry about their tank suits stretching
to their knees when they get wet.

Some of you may know about uni-
forms before the one-piece gym suit era.
In the fall of 1959. Agnes Scott took a
big step forward and changed the offi-
cial physical education uniform from
one-piece gym suits (pink was the last
color) to Bermuda shorts, in class
colors, with a white, short-sleeved
tailored blouse. The next big change was
to knit shorts, and from there to short
shorts. The final stage is a pair of
"unisex" shorts and a pull-o\er cotton
jersey. For your information, "unisex"
shorts are boxer shorts with an elastic
waist, and can be worn by either men or
women.

At this writing it would be nice to
announce to you that everything is "go"
for a new physical education building, a
track, and a second athletic field.
President Perry says these items are high
on his priority list, and the department is
hoping that before too long definite
plans will be underway. Those of us in
the physical education department feel
strongly that nev\ facilities will greatly
enhance the physical education pro-
gram, intramurals, and intercollegiate
athletics.

In the meantime, we are continuing to
emphasize the acquisition of skills and
the values of regular activity in the hope
that students and alumnae will be aware
of the need for maintaining physical
efficiency. Do you walk, jog. bicycle,
roller skate, jump rope, swim, dance,
play golf, racquet ball, or tennis? Or are
you pudgy'.' A.

Scott's oldest known living alumna, cele-
brated her 102nd birthday January 15. 1981.
surrounded by family and friends and greeted
by college and alumnae presidents, govern-
ment officials and church organizations.

Annie and her husband. J. Fairman Pres-
ton, spent thirty-seven years as Presbyterian
missionaries in Korea. In addition to raising
six children. Annie taught Bible in the
Korean Girls School.

In 1940 when the U.S. State Department
sent a luxury liner to bring missionaries and
other civilians home from Korea because of
the worsening conditions prior to World War
II. Annie and her husband bought a home in
Decatur not far from the present Marta
station. The following several years were
spent in Pontotoc. Mississippi, where Dr.
Preston served as pastor of a church, and in
1946 the family moved back to Decatur,
their permanent home. Dr. Preston, who
died at a mere age 100. was a familiar sight
around Decatur for many years. Family
members tell us that he voluntarily gave up
driving his car during the last few years
although his driving license did not expire
until his 100th birthday.

Mrs. Preston, still actively interested in
church activities, has the distinction of being
the oldest living alumna of both Agnes Scott
College and the University of North Carolina
at Chapel Hill. Bom in Salisbury. N.C., in
1879, the youngest in a family of five, she
attended school there and later in Statesvillc.
When her mother wrote a friend in Atlanta
for information on Mary Baldwin College in
Virginia, she was told of a new school in
Decatur at that time Agnes Scott Institute.
The trip to Decatur was made by train in
January, 1895. Since Mrs. Preston's father

had recently died, she was dressed in
mourning as was the custom at the time.
After completing two years, she spent the
following six years back at home in Salis-
bury. During that time she attended a six
weeks summer school session at Chapel Hill
in preparation for a teaching job.

Helping her celebrate her 102nd birthday
will be Mrs. Preston's six children, thirty
grandchildren, and eighteen great grand-
children.

Career Planning Office Is
Cleaning out Files

THROUGH the years, many graduating
seniors and alumnae have established perma-
nent reference files, first in the office of the
Dean of the Faculty, and more recently with
the Career Planning Office (formerly the
Vocational Office). Our past policy has been
to maintain these files indefinitely.

Because of space limitations, we have
decided it is time to destroy our older files.
Beginning in June 1981, we will maintain
files for a period of twenty-five years, after
which they will be destroyed unless an
individual specifically requests a longer time
period. If you graduated prior to 1957 and
anticipate needing your references for either
graduate school or employment purposes at
some future date, please contact us by May
15. 1981. requesting this service and speci-
fying the number of years you wish your file
maintained. Letters should be addressed to
Kathleen K. Mooney. Director of Career
Planning, Agnes Scott College, Decatur.

About the covers:

Agnes Scott's Beck Telescope, previously owned by
Henry Gibson of Philadelphia, was bought by the College
in 1949 through the vision of President James Ross
McCain and the initiative of Professor of Physics and
Astronomy William A. Calder. The acquisition was
funded by a donation from the Beck Foundation.

The Telescope and the Bradley Observatory were dedi-
cated in 1950. With its 30 inch aperture, the telescope
was the largest in the Southeast at the time of its
dedication and is still one of the largest in the region.

Dr. Henry A. Robinson
1901-1981

By Polly Anna Philips Harris '50

HE WAS a teacher for forty-eight years. He
was a teacher who continued to be a friend.

I have many fond recollections of Dr.
Henry A. Robinson. In the classroom he
kept me spellbound. He was so consumed
with the beauty in mathematics that he could
not fail to convey that appreciation to his
students. A walk with him about the campus
was a lesson in the mathematics of nature
the geometry in the petals of a flower, the
rings of a tree, the filigree of a snowflake.
When he taught a Sunday School lesson, he
never failed to mention some Bible verse
which showed "God's Mathematics." When
one went to his office for special tutoring, he
did more than assist with the assignment. He
tried to enlarge the student's vision, to
stretch her mind beyond the immediate
problem.

Dr. Rob was proud of his students'

successes. When he felt that a student in
independent study had written a paper
worthy of publication, he arranged for the
student to present her thesis to a meeting of
the Mathematical Association of America.
He delighted to hear that one of his former
students had pursued advanced study in
mathematics. And he was extremely proud
when one of his ' 'girls' ' became a teacher of
mathematics herself.

Dr. Rob was an incurable romantic and
matchmaker. He introduced many Agnes
Scott students to their future mates. He was a
willing conspirator when my husband and I
hid our car in his garage during our wedding
reception. And he offered the same service
to many others also.

He welcomed visits from his former
students. He was sought after on alumnae
weekends. There was always a crowd around

him. He had a personal word for each of his
admirers. His memory of the names of
former students was phenomenal.

Last summer I stopped by the Robinsons'
summer home in Henderson ville, N.C. He
was a gracious host as always and insisted on
giving me some boxwoods which he had
rooted. Of course he also mentioned how
symmetrically they grew!

That was the last time I saw him. But 1
have many reminders of that great and good
man. When I visit the campus. I see the flag
flying on the flagpole dedicated to him in
1977. And when 1 attempt to teach mathe-
matics, I try to impart to my students the
beauty of mathematics as well as its utility.
Both of those facets I learned from Dr.
Henry A. Robinson. He had great intellect
and humanity as well. A

Rock Paintings fron

By Susan Hana

IN THE MIDDLE of the Sahara desert, in
Algeria, near Libya and Niger, there is a
large plateau, the Tassili N'Ajjcr, which
rises about 3.000 feet above the level of the
desert. The Tassili plateau is worth seeing
for itself, but we went in order to see the
remarkable and ancient rock paintings scat-
tered over the plateau. The paintings were
known to the local Tuaregs for many years
but they were made well-known to Euro-
peans in 1956 through Henri Lhote. The
paintings themselves cannot be accurately
dated but there are indications that the oldest
paintmgs are seven to nine thousand years
old. The paintings are mostly of animals,
people, dances, and gods and are much more
like the present sub-Sahara Africa than the
present Sahara. These paintings and other
evidence indicate that the Sahara was once a
well-watered and fertile area with many
forms of abundant life.

To get there, on our week off in February,
we traveled far and by various methods,
starting with a 900 mile prop-jet flight via
Air Algerie from Algiers. We arrived at a
fomier French military outpost, Djanet, at

vf-y-ki

noon. The next morning at 7 a.m., we left
Djanet with a French party we chanced to
meet on the plane. The party included one
Algerian, a surgeon and professor at the
University of Algiers; one of the two
Frenchmen was an opthalmologist from
Lyons. The other members of the group
included a teacher, a publisher, the three
French wives, one of whom was an artist, a
boy. 13. and two girls. 10 and 1 1 . Our little
knowledge of French was more than the
ability of the Tuareg guides or the French
group to use English, so communication was
difficult.

We drove in three landrovers ten miles to
the foot of the cliffs at the base of the
plateau. The rest of the way. about two-
thirds of a mile up and about six miles
horizontally, we traveled on foot. We and
our Tuareg guides climbed up a different
route than the donkeys that carried supplies.
We had no choice but to hike and climb, and
even when we thought about going back to
Djanet, we could see the landrovers had
already left.

Finally, we made it to Tamrit and "La

"^^y:*^

The path up lo Tassili Pluleau

Author in DJanel. Algeria

Ville de Toile" (our translation was Tent
City). After a lunch that couldn't have tasted
better in a fancy restaurant in Paris and a
short siesta, we were ready to tour the area of
Tamrit.

About three o'clock, the guides were
ready for a walking tour. After about two
miles of walking, we arrived at a huge
overhang partially surrounded by fallen
rocks. Inside on the wall of the overhang was
a beautiful painting of two antelopes gazing
out over the horizon. With pretty little horns
and white breasts, they looked fresh and
new. It was very difficult to believe they'd
been looking out over the Sahara for the last
seven thousand or so years. Not far away
under another o\erhanfi was a series of
paintings including a chariot, driver, and
horse (of a later period than the antelopes),
which is thought to represent visits from the
ancient Egyptians. Now about every one
hundred yards there were a few paintings of
men. antelope, or cattle, all under over-
hangs, some almost invisible, some very
clear.

On the flight from .Mgiers this area had
appeared like a series of lakes and rivers u ith
sand instead of water and appeared to be
eroded out of mud. There were even

he Ancient Sahara

"waves" on the lakes of sand. The rivers of
sand seemed like a maze of zig-zag channels
very closely spaced. It seemed impossible
that anything other than large quantities of
water could have produced these formations,
probably long before the people of Tassili
painted on the undercut walls of the chan-
nels.

On the surface, what had looked like mud
from the air was found to be towering
sandstone formations with a dark crust, and in
some places with volcanic type fissures. The
rivers of sand were passages between
formations like streets through a city. A
French commander. Captain Gardel, once
put it, "Like the gigantic ruin of a capital
city of some past age."

Traveling on the plateau with a Tuareg
guide, you might follow an ancient lake bed,
go up a particular stream type passage until
fallen rocks would provide a cross passage to
another "stream bed" and follow it to
another "lake" or "stream." Many lake
beds, hundreds of stream beds, and thou-
sands of towering rocks make the area similar
throughout. Without a guide or a compass
and map it would be impossible to find your
way. There were stories of French soldiers
who became lost and died from the heat and
sun within a few hundred yards from their
camp.

We stopped at what must have once been
the top of a magnificent waterfall off of the
plateau- into a very deep gorge below. Then
we came upon a lower level wadi. Here were
the cypresses we had read about real live
trees in a place like this. The old trees had
not been able to propagate themselves in the
last few hundred years because of the dry
climate but their roots could reach enough
moisture to remain alive. These were rela-
tives of the redwood of California and the
cypress of the Everglades. On the ground
were pieces of petrified wood, the ancestors
of these trees. We were told the seeds of
these trees would grow if watered.

Coming out of the wadi we came upon
some Tuareg men who knew our guides. The
doctor-professor dressed in khaki, boots, and
a black turban had become our leader, and
soon he had arranged for the men only to
share some Tuareg tea. They sat around a
small fire brewing tea in a rock-walled

enclosure to block the wind. We women
stood off to one side while this ritual of
desert hospitality took place. One of these
men was the guide of Henri Lhote who first
publicized the Tassili paintings.

After returning, we had an excellent
supper, and were soon asleep on a thin foam

pad under two wool blankets on a rocky
plateau 900 miles deep into the Sahara.

The next day we were up before the
sunrise. The bathroom was the nearest big
rock. After a short breakfast we were soon
hiking along maze-like passages and open
areas towards Sefar, the best area for

paintings. The guides never hesitated and
managed to get everyone to Sefar by noon,
the time to find shade.

At Sefar there was no city of cloth. The
camping area was golden sand with big black
rocks that sometimes looked like the statues
of Easter Island. We were to sleep under
overhangs that would hold the heat accumu-
lated during the day of hot sun, and slowly
release the heat during the cold night. A
traveler once called Africa a cold continent
with a hot sun. The cook set up the kitchen, a
fire, a few pots, and a butagaz burner. The
meal of shish-ka-bob couldn't have been
better.

About two that afternoon we began a tour
of the best collection of outdoor paintings in
the world. Amidst huge eroded rocks, the
paintings were on the smooth underside of
the overhanging rocks. They were colored
with red, white, grey, yellow, sometimes
blue, purple, and black. Many were of
people who lived thousands of years before
Christ, when this plateau was green. Men
had stood on these rocks and looked dow n at
herds of elephants, giraffe, lions, and ante-
lope. Today all that remains are the moon-
like landscape and the paintings.

Experts have divided the Tassili paintings
into five groups by style and age, from the
oldest antelope period, through a cattle
period, sheep and goat period, horse and
chariot period, to the latest camel period.
This spans the period from hunting to the
domestication of animals and the importation
of camels. The earlier periods seem to be
more simple and artistic, while the later
periods are more symbolic and magical.
There are books on the Tassili paintings, in
French, by Lhote and by Lajoux published
by Chene in Paris.

First, we saw a large red colored human
hand, and another painting underneath of
people in a semicircle, squatting. Often
paintings would be superimposed on paint-
ings.

We came to a painting of two men,
wearing loincloths, decorated belts and arm
bands, masks, and fancy coiffeurs. One is
lifting a stick above his head with the other
arm outstretched. The other has both amis
outstretched and appears to be falling,
holding on to an animal horn. Next is a
proud warrior, very elegantly dressed, with a
headdress like a pharaoh. Next we see an
abstract pattern that looks like a large tulip
with inner circles painted one in the other,
perhaps a fertility symbol: then a large
giraffe; three running antelopes almost so
alive that one could see them skipping
through the meadow. At another overhang
we saw a huge herd of cattle red. white,
spotted, brown, black with great horns like
the Texas longhoms. One could almost see
the muscle and bone structure under their
hides.

Tuaregs, the veiled blue men of the Sahara

'Qui of the scene rises a huge while masked figure .

Travelers rest on first lap up the plateau -

Then more pictures of people a man
with bow and arrow chasing an animal, a
large mural with many running men, with
bows and arrows and clubs, perhaps a war
over hunting grounds, a woman sitting, a
man with a hyena type dog, and a woman
walking and pulling a child. There were
scenes of masked dancers, and one of three
masks that reminded us of Mickey Mouse.
There was a huge figure with tattooing and a
helmet with horns like a Viking.

The most famous painting is of a scene of
animals being chased by hunters. The lead
antelope has a small ghost floating over his
back. Out of the scene rises a huge white
masked figure, probably a god. His arms are
outstretched like a boxer and his muscles are
flexed. On his stomach is the abstract
symbol that we'd seen before.

The third day we had to leave our friends
just as we were getting to know them. One
donkey was loaded with our luggage and
headed out with the donkey man. One guide,
Aly, and the assistant cook accompanied us
back towards Tamrit. After lunch at Tent
City, we headed for the rim of the plateau.

Going down you could see how far it was
to the floor of the gorge below. My feet hurt
in spite of the fact that the Algerian surgeon
had "operated" on my shoes to give my feet
more room. Thanks to Aly, who helped me
across ledges, some as narrow as six inches.

from one ledge down to the next, and down
steep, loose slopes, I kept my cool. We made
it down to an intermediate level valley just
before sunset, where our donkey man was
waiting and the assistant cook was collecting
brush to make the fire. We had a quick but
excellent stew in the cold darkness.

We slept under a rock overhang on one
blanket with two blankets plus our raincoats
over us. There was no pad and it was bitter
cold. Farther north there had been a rare
snowstorm. There were so many stars in the
clear heaven that it seemed as if the whole
cosmos was visible. The night gave us time
to think about distance, time, and the fact
that we were dependent on three Tuaregs we
could barely converse with, and a donkey,
halfway down the Tassili plateau in the
middle of the Sahara.

The next morning we climbed down to
meet the landrover which returned us to
Djanet. Three days later, after two cancelled
flights of Air Algerie's prop-jet, our French
friends returned to Djanet and we went with
them in two landrovers at night 700 miles to
the town of Tamanrasset, with two Tuareg
drivers, and the assistant cook. At Taman-
rasset we got a jet back to Algiers. Later we
learned the Algerian surgeon had been a
mayor of Algiers in the period right after the
revolution.

Forty-eight hours later I was in Jackson-

Department of Physics

B\ Dr. An

FH'iSICISTS and astronomers have always
studied questions vvliieli arise from the
deepest wellsprings of human euriosity about
the world: What ean we find out about the
history, present structure, and future of the
universe? Are there some ultimate constit-
uents of matter? If so. what are they and how
do they behave? Questions like these may
sound impertinent or even arrogant, but
remarkable progress has been made recently
toward answering them. The large number of
newspaper articles, books, and new maga-
zines devoted to popular accounts of progress
on fundamental problems in science indi-
cates a considerable public interest in these
matters, and the proportion of students
deciding to concentrate on the sciences in
college is growing. Traditional social roles
and customs ha\'e in the past had the result
that most science students were male.
Presumably, about half of our scientifically
talented youth were discouraged from partic-
ipatmg in the adventure. There are some
hopeful, though still painfully tentative,
signs that this situation may be changing.
For example, many of the young women
applying to the Agnes Scott Honor Scholars
Program have demonstrated considerable
interest and ability in mathematics and the
sciences. The Department of Physics and
Astronomy at Agnes Scott, while not anti-
cipating a deluge of students, is prepared for
a period in which we expect wcimcn's
interest in science to flourish.

An important goal of the department is to
give students preparation sufficiently flexi-
ble that they will not be limited in what they
are able to do after leaving Agnes Scott.
Some students want to pursue graduate study
in physics, astronomy, or enginering. while
others seek immediate employment in pri-
vate or government laboratories or in techni-
cally oriented business positions. Science and
technology are changing so rapidly today
that it is futile to try to predict exactly w hich
specialties will thrive in the future. Con-
sequently, we seek to give students rigorous,
broadly based training in the fundamental
principles of physics or astronomy . training
which they will be able to apply to a v\ide
variety of problems.

So that we could better accomplish this
purpose, the curricula in both physics and
astronomy were extensivelv revised in 1979.

Or Arlhui HowIiiik. clcpuniiuiil chairnuin

In physics, the introductory course is still
largely a service course for biology and
chemistry majors, though naturally we also
seek to give prospective physics majors a
genuine sense of what research in physics is
like and an introduction to some of the
exciting concepts being invcstigald by phys-
icists today. Students majoring in physics
then go on to take courses in the four subject
areas on which a real understanding of
contemporary research in physics is based.

applied for and received during tlie 1979-80
academic year. We have been able to
purchase high quality optics and electronics
equipment, acquisitions which would have
been spread over several years without the
grant. We hope to begin using a digital
microcomputer soon in some of our upper
level courses. Many problems in modern
physics are sufficiently complicated that in
order to get any information about their
solutions we must resort to approximation

techniques. These methods typically involve
repeated numerical calculations performed
easily by a digital computer, which is as
important to late twentieth century physics
as, say, the optical microscope was to
nineteenth century biology.

In astromony, the introductory courses
have been made more rigorous, and obser-
vational work has been added so that the
introductory astronomy courses can now be
used to satisfy laboratory science distribution

requirements. The number of upper level
astronomy courses has been increased from
four to nine and Agnes Scott physics-
astronomy majors can now obtain under-
graduate preparation appropriate for later
graduate work in astronomy. At the same
time, the upper level courses are based on
the modern point of view that astronomy is a
branch of physics; in addition to studying the
usual observational techniques, students receive

inslruction in ccrtuin topics of astrophysics
which happen to have very important prac-
tical applications here on Earth, These
include atmospheric physics, plasma phys-
ics, and radiative transfer theory.

The astronomy classes as well as observa-
tion sessions are now held in the Bradley
Observatory. The Observatory, with the
large Beck telescope (whose thirty-inch
primary mirror was recently refinished to
restore peak optical performance), is an
extremely valuable resource to the College
and in fact is unique among institutions of
comparable si/.c m the U..S. The College has
undertaken a considerable program of reno-
vation and improvements in the Observato-
ry, so that, for example, the roof is now
sufficiently strengthened and waterproofed
that the introductory observations sessions
can be held there. Students in these sessions
use newly acquired small telescopes of very
high optical quality to gain practical experi-
ence in observational methods. These tele-
scopes can be moved between fixed, stable
observation piers permanently mounted on
the roof so that good vantage points can be
found for most parts of the sky.

Incidentally, these improvements to the
Observatory arc characteristic of a very
healthy attitude of the College toward its
physical plant in general. At a time when
many small colleges and some universities
are canceling plans for capital improve-
ments, and even retrenching on maintenance
programs. Agnes Scott is carefully proceed-
ing with plans to improve its physical
facilities. These improvements may be very
important to the future of the College during
the expected national decline in numbers o'i
college students.

The department offers several major pro-
grams to students interested in physics and
astronomy. In addition to the conventional
physics and physics-astronomy programs
already mentioned, this department, in coop-
eration with the Department of Mathematics
offers an interdepartmental major in mathe-
matics physics for students interested in
theoretical physics and applications of math-
ematics. Students oriented toward engineer-
ing, computer science, or management sci-
ence can elect the dual degree program, a
cooperative venture between Agnes Scott
and the Georgia Institute of Technology. A
student in this program completes three years
of liberal arts studies at Agnes Scott (not
necessarily majoring in physics) and two
years of specialized training at Georgia
Tech. The student then receives a Bachelor
of Arts degree from Agnes Scott and an
additional bachelor's degree from Georgia

Julius Sliuil. director of the PUmetarium

Tech. This program is fairly new. but quite a
few prospective Agnes Scott students have
expressed interest in such an arrangement.
The current members of the physics
and astronomy faculty are Arthur Bowling.
Robert Hyde, and Julius Staal. Mr. Bowling
(B.S., College of William and Mary; M.S.^.
Ph.D., University of Illinois) joined the
department in 1977 after teaching at Swar-
thmorc College and at The Ohio State
University, Manstield. He is currently chair-
man of the department. Mr. Hyde (B.A..
Colgate University: M.S.. University of
New Hampshire; Ph.D., The Pennsylvania
State University) came to the College in
1978 after teaching in the Pennsylvania
State University System and working in the
Environmental Research Laboratory in Boul-
der. Colorado. He serves as director of the
Bradley Observatory as well as assistant
professor of astronomy. The department is
very fortunate to count Mr. Julius Staal
among its members. Mr. Staal. a Fellou oi
the Royal Astronomical Society and former

director of the planetarium at the Fernbank
Science Center, had acquired a very fine
Spitz planetarium projector. Since his retire-
ment from Fernbank. Mr. Staal has scr\cd as
director of the Bradley Observatory Planeta-
rium, and has housed his projector in the
planetarium room of the Observatory. Mr.
Staal uses the Planetarium to assist Mr. Hyde
with astronomy instruction and with the
popular open house astronomy programs
periodically held for the public.

Many alumnae v\ill remember londly Mr.
William Calder. now emeritus professor of
astronomy, for his remarkable energy and
creativity as a teacher. Mr. Calder li\es near
the College, maintains an active solar obser-
vation program and has lent considerable
assistance to the newer department mem-
bers.

In conclusion, our department is small but
vigorous, and we hope to assist as many
young women as possible in launching
fruitful careers as physicists and astrono-
mers. A

Agnes Scott's Truman Scholar

By Andrea Helms

BURLETTE CARTER '82 is a Truman Scholar.
Last year she was one of seventy-nine
college students nationwide awarded schol-
arships funded by Congress in honor of
Harry S. Truman, thirty-third president of
the United States. The Truman Scholarships
are awarded annually to students nominated
by their colleges and who demonstrate an
outstanding potential for leadership in gov-
ernment and are preparing themselves for
public service.

Burlette, upon learning of her award, said,
"I feel very honored. I see this scholarship
as a responsibility, a challenge, and an
opportunity to prepare myself for a possible
career as a political leader in elective office.
I look forward to the next four years with
confidence and enthusiasm."

Competition for the 1980 Truman Schol-
arships was keen. From more than 700
nominated candidates, one was chosen from
each of the fifty states, the District of
Columbia, Puerto Rico and the U.S. territo-
ries, and twenty-six were chosen at-large
from throughout the country.

Each Truman Scholar is provided with
scholarship assistance throughout four years
of undergraduate and graduate work. These
scholarships are designed to cover the costs

Burletle Carter

of tuition, fees, room and board, and books,
and may amount to as much as $5,000
annually per student.

As a junior, Ms. Carter is majoring in
English and political science. She is program
chairperson of Students for Black Awareness
and a reporter on The Profile, student
newspaper. She also worked for Senator
Kennedy's presidential campaign in Geor-
gia.

Her Agnes Scott professors think highly of
her. including her political science professor
Dr. Steven Haworth. who said. "Burlette is
very motivated, capable, and public spirited.
She is the type of person I would like to see
in leadership positions in this society."

Ms. Carter's interest in government ser-
vice landed her an internship last summer
with the Farmers Home Administration of the
U.S. Department of Agriculture. She served
another internship last fall with South Caro-
lina's U.S. Senator Ernest F. Hollings while
she was studying foreign policy under the
Washington Semester Program in Washing-
ton, DC. A

The Hopkins Jewel

THE HOPKINS JEWEL grew out of a sugges-
tion made by the class of 1922. It was the
strong conviction of many that Agnes Scott
needed in some significant way to recognize
the incalculable contribution which Dean
Nannette Hopkins had made to the College
during her long service (1889-1938). The
recognition took the form of an award to the
senior "who most nearly embodied the
ideals of Miss Hopkins for Agnes Scott."
Unpublished material in the McCain Library
gives the following requirements for achiev-
ing this award:

To meet this ideal a student must not only
fulfil the academic requirement for gradu-
ation but must also be conspicuous in
loyalty to the College, in ideals of service,
in ability to cooperate. She must possess,
in addition, physical fitness, poise, and
graciousness.

The jewel itself was an amethyst set in
white gold - signifying Agnes Scott's colors
of purple and white. The jewel was first
awarded in 1929 and continued through the
Class of 1954. The first eight awards were
pendants; thereafter, the jewel was in the
form of a ring. A committee of the faculty
determined the recipient.

B\ Dr. W. Edward McNair

After 1954 this award was discontinued.
By this time Hopkins Hall had been built as a
permanent memorial to Dean Hopkins. Also
it was becoming increasingly difficult for
faculty members who had not known Miss
Hopkins to determine just what her ideals
were or would be in changing situations.

Here are the students who received this
award: Helon Brown, 1929; Elizabeth Flinn,
1930; Marguerite Gerard, 1931; Andrew-
ena Robinson, 1932; Margaret Ridley,
1933; Nelle Chamlee. 1934; Frances Espy,
1935; Alice McCallie, 1936; Julia Thing,
1937; Nell Hemphill, 1938; Amelia Nick-
els, 1939; Ruth Slack, 1940; Mary Scott
Wilds, 1941; Jane Taylor, 1942; Anne
Frierson, 1943; Josephine Young, 1944;
Margaret Milam, 1945; Dorothy Spragens,
1946; Betty Jean Radford, 1947; Mary
Elizabeth Little, 1948; Julianne Cook, 1949;
Cama Clarkson, 1950; Marjorie Stukes,
1951; Sybil Corbett. 1952; Mary Beth
Robinson. 1953; Judith Promnitz. 1954.

Until quite recently. Agnes Scott did not
have a Hopkins Jewel for display; however,
Nelle Chamlee Howard "34 has very gener-
ously given her jewel to the College. This
particular jewel is in the form of a pendant,
but Agnes Scott still has no example of the
Hopkins Jewel as a ring. It would be a
welcome addition if the College had a jewel
set as a ring. Perhaps some alumna who was
awarded a ring might like to benefit her alma
mater with such a gift. A

Spring 1981

Students Initiate Restoration

Bx Burk'Ue Carter '82

IN THIS fast-moving age. even buildings
have to make that extra effort to keep up with
each new generation. That is why the Hub
has had another facelift, one that has given
the building a sophisticated and subtle
granduer for the '80s. This time, Agnes
Scott alumnae were in on the operation and
vigorously lent their support to the project. It
is only to be expected that new generations
of Agnes Scott women would ask that time
make a place for them, and, certainly, it is
fitting that the College's elder daughters
would be among the first supporters of
efforts to transform a building they loved
into one that the Agnes Scott students of the
"SOs could enjoy.

President Marvin Perry said, "Agnes
Scott's alumnae were involved even in the
earliest stages of the renovation, and they
played a major part in the project. "Of
course," he added, "they have always been
among our greatest supporters." Laura Klett-

ner, 1980-81 president of Agnes Scott's
Student Government Association (SGA) and
daughter of Virginia Hays Klettner "53,
reiterated Dr. Perry's statement saying,
"The alumnae were really a great help.
Without them, getting the project started
would have been much more difficult."

The walls of the Hub have been painted a
soft creamy yellow set off with white trim.
Along with the new paint job has come new
wallpaper, new carpet, and roof and ceiling
repairs. The old light fixtures, long, lanky
shades which once hung from a deep-blue
ceiling, have yielded to subtle glass globes
hanging from a creamy white sky. New
white wicker furniture has been bought, old
furniture has been reupholstered. and the
music department has given a piano for the
project.

The story of the Hub's renovation is really
a story of student initiative. Laura and other
members of SGA wanted to make the Hub a

place where students might want to spend
some time, to converse with one another.
SGA decided to buy new wallpaper for the
building and to ask the College's help with
other repairs. One day, Laura mentioned the
idea to Anne Jones Sims '53. Mrs. Sims,
whose husband, Mr. Warren Sims, Jr., is
vice president of Shaw Industries, Inc., a
carpet company in Dalton, Georgia, sugges-
ted that Laura might get a good price from
the company on some carpet for the Hub.
But when Laura approached Mr. Sims about
the idea, she was stunned when he offered to
donate the carpet in the names of six Agnes
Scott alumnae who were involved in the
company. These women are: Eleanor McCarty
Cheney "51, Irene Shaw Grigg '59, Berrien
Lumpkin Long '76, Betty Bowman Shaw
'52, Margaretta Lumpkin Shaw '52. and
Anne Jones Sims "53. The value of the
donation is about $4,000.00.

Another alumna who became involved in
the project was Mary Duckworth Gellerstedt
'46. Mrs. Gellerstedt, a former president of
the Alumnae Association and a member of
the Board of Trustees, had earlier expressed
a desire to refurbish the public rooms in
Rebekah and Agnes Scott Halls. Having
special interest in the students' idea, she
jumped at the chance to help. Aside from
visiting wallpaper stores and collecting paper
samples, she also solicited the help of an
interior decorator and met with members of
SGA and the administration to make the final
plans for the renovation. Said Mrs. Geller-
stedt, "I was so pleased to see the students
taking initiative, and I really had a good time
helping them!"

While some members of the administra-
tion, including Dean of Students Martha
Kirkland and Assistant Dean Mollie Merrick
'57, helped the students with their planning,
SGA President Klettner did not formally ask
for the College's support until well after
students had done much of the initial
groundwork. With support from both SGA
and alumnae, in addition to the generous gift
of the carpet from Shaw Industries, Laura
had little trouble getting the College's
support for the project. Dr. Perry readily
agreed to repaint the building and to make
any other needed repairs. The College's own
physical plant did all of the painting, cabinet
work, and wiring.

Agnes Scott Alumnae Ouarterly

Part of the cost will be covered by
generous contributions made by alumnae in
the Atlanta-Decatur area. Upon hearing
about the project, the Decatur Alumnae Club
immediately donated $200 which was used
to buy new light fixtures; the Atlanta Club
gave $800 for a color television set. Once
again, Agnes Scott"s elder daughters were
eager to help their younger sisters.

Most of the refurbishing was done during
the long Thanksgiving-Christmas break of
1980. Since SGA purposefully kept the
redecoration project a secret from the student
body, a pleasant surprise awaited students
when they returned to the College for their
winter quarter classes. The campus's reac-
tion to the "new Hub" was summed up by
sophomore Shari Nicols: "It's gorgeous!"

When the question, "Who is responsi-
ble?" is raised, many persons point to SGA
President Klettner. who first came up with
the idea of renovation. But Laura, herself,
shakes her head and says that other persons
share much of the credit. Among them is
President Marvin Perry who provided his
own brand of enthusiasm to the project.
Dean of Students Martha Kirkland and Assist-
ant Dean Mollie Merrick provided advice
and guidance as did Mr. Lee Barclay, vice
president of business affairs, and Dr. Paul
McCain, vice president for development. Of
course, Agnes Scott alumnae and their
families, both through their enthusiasm and
their generosity, helped to make the project a
huge success. And finally, says Laura, other
members of SGA also share a great deal of
the credit, for all of them, working together.
made it happen.

Interestingly enough, three out of four of
the 1980-81 officers are daughters of
alumnae. Aside from Laura, the '81 SGA
included Maryellen Smith '82, treasurer of
SGA, daughter of Reese Newton Smith '49
and granddaughter of Maryellen Harvey
Newton '16; and Jenny Howell *82, secre-
tary of SGA and daughter of Jean White
Howell '51. Also in SGA were Linda
Wimberly '81, a senior representative and
daughter of Joyce Skelton Wimberly '57,
and Caroline Cooper, a freshman represen-
tative and daughter of Hazel King Cooper
'59.

That many of Agnes Scott's student
leaders would be daughters of alumnae
points to the tradition of involvement that is

evident as one looks back over the College's
ninety-three year history, and even at the
history of one of its oldest buildings. When
the Hub was first constructed, as the
Carnegie Library in 1910, students were
involved in the successful financial cam-
paign which helped to add three buildings to
the campus, including the library. According
to the 1910 Silhouette, after the College
achieved its endowment goal, students made
an "orderly" victory march to the home of
then President Gaines where they stood and
cheered the president and his wife.

When members of SGA met with adminis-
tration and alumnae to plan the Hub's recent
facelift, certainly present was the same

enthusiasm that students in 1909 had as they
cheered their president after the College had
reached its endowment goal, the same
enthusiasm that has led past and present
generations of Agnes Scott women to involve
themselves in projects which would better
enable the College to fulfill the needs of its
students.

It is only to be expected that new
generations of Agnes Scott women would
ask that time make a place for them; and,
certainly, it is only fitting that the College's
elder daughters would be among the first
supporters of efforts to transform a building
they loved into one that the Agnes Scott of
the '80s could enjoy. A

NETWORKING. Is the concept familiar to
you? Are you actively participating in one or
more networks already?

Networking primarily works in two ways.
Women of equal or similar status may
support each other's businesses, share suc-
cessful solutions to common problems, and
together develop strategies to advance their
own careers. Women who are working and
may be well-established in their own careers
are also assisting younger or re-entry women
to enter the job market and to start advancing
in their shared career field.

At Agnes Scott, the ASC (Alumnae Stu-
dents/Careers) Network operates on both
levels. Because we started formalizing this
network two years ago to assist with our
expanding career planning programs for
students, the 150 current Network members
most frequently have been called upon to be
program sponsors for the underclassmen or
informal advisers for graduating seniors.
Since 1979. they have been "shadowed"
for a half day. sponsored sixty-four extems
for a week during Christmas or spring break,
arranged some internships and notified us of
others, offered summer jobs, referred per-
manent positions, and occasionally hired a
new graduate or other alumna.

While student programs have increased,
so have our alumnae requests for assistance
in finding or changing jobs, advancing their
careers, or relocating in a new geographic
area. We hear from three main groups.
Alumnae, many of whom graduated in the
middle and late 1970s, seek advice and
contacts as they make job and career
changes. Women who are recently divorced
need understanding, advice, and assistance
as they enter or re-enter the work force.
Many must seek their first job, or their first
non-clerical job, in order to support them-
selves and, sometimes, their children. The
third group consists of those women who must

relocate to a new area because of their
husbands' jobs and must seek employment
themselves in this new locale.

As programs and referrals have grown, we
have called with increasing frequency upon
current Network members. For some types
of assistance such as the short-term Shadow
experience and informal advice, we rely very
heavily upon Atlanta-area alumnae. For the
Extern and Intern Programs, summer and
permanent job referrals, job and geographic
advice for students and alumnae starting or
seeking to advance their careers or relocating
in a new city, our needs know no geographic
bounds. Students have extemed in New
^'ork City, Cincinnati, and Chicago. We
have been asked for contacts in Washington,
New York, Boston, Chicago, New Orleans,

Dallas, on the West Coast, and in cities
throughout the Southeast. Even the alumna
in Alaska who joined the Network as an
early supporter of the concept has been
referred to one of this year's graduates who
is considering taking a job in that state.

For both student programs and alumnae
contacts, our needs are greater in some
career fields. Interest in all aspects of
business and industry runs high, especially
in marketing and personnel and increasingly
in technical fields like computer program-
ming and engineering. Medicine and allied
health professions continue to attract stu-
dents, as do traditional and non-traditional
applications for a law degree. Communica-
tions careers in advertising, public relations,
and journalism also are mentioned frequen-
tly.

An interesting characteristic ol early Net-
work members has been the mobility of the
group. Many of these women who have
offered to help others' careers are obviously
working to advance their own. We have seen
numerous changes in job titles and employers,
which occasionally means the loss of a
program sponsor.

I hope this adds up to the fact that we need
you. many of you, wherever you are,
whatever you do, to support the Network by
helping others so that the Network may be a
viable means to help you when you need it.
Each year, our office staff works with many
alumnae as they seek to change jobs or
careers. One of our motives is very seltlsh: if
we help someone get settled in a satisfying
job, normally she will prove a good resource
to help the next person coming along. We
give, and others give to us as needed. This is
Networking. A

Elitekey : Micmac Material Culture from 1600
AD to the Present, by Ruth Holmes Everett
Whitehead '69. The Nova Scotia Museum,
Halifax, Nova Scotia.

"ELITEKEY" is the Micmac Indian word for
"I fashion things." The book documents
five centuries of Micmac material culture,
ranging from the period before contact with
Europeans to the present. A history and
technical explanation is given for crafts in
the following areas: costume and decorative
techniques; birchbark work; porcupine quill-
work on birchbark; work in wood, bone,
stone, and natural fibers; and the art of
basketry. Ruth Holmes interviewed a num-
ber of Micmac elders and craftsmen and
traveled extensively during her five years of
research.

THIS BOOK brings together critical materials
that show the evolution of various theories
about The Merry Wives of Windsor and
encourages a new look at the play in its
proper context. Professor Roberts focuses on
the play's textual history, the dating of the
play, its sources, the play itself and the
Windsor Falstaff, and assesses the play in
the context of the Shakespearean works. In
so doing, she defines and establishes the
place of this play in the Shakespearean
canon.

Variation and Change in Alabama English:
A Sociolinguistic Study of the White Com-

$7.95.

THE AUTHOR records her observations of
the speech of 125 Alabamians and inter-
views with 82 native whites of Anniston and
nearby rural areas. This information forms a
base for examining the verb phrase, includ-
ing tense, aspect, modal verbs, person-
number agreement, and the use of negation
in Alabama English.

Whites of the South show wide grammati-
cal variation within the same community,
and various claims have been made con-
cerning the relationship between Southern
White English and Black English, British
dialects, and older forms of English. This
study furnishes the type of information and
analysis necessary to address these and other
important issues in linguistic theory and the
study of language.

THIS NON-FICTIONAL, illustrated, popular
history of Charlotte, N.C., traces the city's
history from its beginnings in the early
1700s until the present day. The book
incorporates many eyewitness accounts which
span the centuries. Author Kratt says,
"From my view Charlotte is a city not like
any other. We have never been. We are still
a feisty, rebellious, educated, and deter-
mined people. We have documented evi-
dence of our love of roads and trees and
freedom and religion and money. We have
loved our land longer than many of the
modem sons of earth. And we have been
believers who have often given back more
than we received." This book gives a
compelling look at a city from its birth to the
present progressive city of more than 400.000
people.

Activist

Receives

Exceptional

Personal

Ministry

Award

FRANCES FREEBORN PAULEY "27. a long-time social activist
and human rights leader, was presented the Ida Brittain
Patterson Exceptional Personal Ministry Award by the
Christian Council of Metropolitan Atlanta on March 7 at the
11th Annual Community Breakfast.

Mrs. Pauley, who is one of Atlanta's best knov\n advocates
on behalf of poor people, founded, five years ago. the Georgia
Poverty Rights Organization, working out of Emmaus House
in the city's south side. During her career as a volunteer and
paid staff member for government and private organizations,
she was a regional school desegregation compliance officer in
the Civil Rights Office of the Department of Health. Education
and Welfare. She was also director of the Georgia Council on
Human Relations during the 1960s and a driving force in the
League of Women Voters in Georgia during the 1940s and
1950s. During the Depression years, after her graduation from
Agnes Scott College, she fought for free lunches in DeKalb
County schools.

She said that despite some harrassment during her years of
activism, she and her husband William and their luo daughters
were able to lead a fairly normal family life.

Frances tried to retire a decade ago. but after a lifetime of
work on the most controversial issues of the time, she still saw
so much injustice. "I decided to keep on." she said. Since
then she has served on a bi-racial committee to monitor
desegregation in the schools as well as founded her Georgia
Poverty Rights Organization to lobby for welfare rights.

She said she has learned that some social ills persist through
every decade. "Racism takes on a different tinge every five
years or so, but underneath, it is always the same, and it is
always there. And the class structure also always persists.
There is the same dislike of poor people, because they are
poor." But despite these understandings, she calls herself "a
crazy optimist. I don't think you should ask yourself whether
you can do a thing, but how it can be done. That starts you out
on the right path."

Although Mrs. Pauley sees the situation looking bleak now
for those who are poor and black, she finds a ray of hope.
"We've looked too much to others to pay for programs and
carry them out on our behalf," she said. "The situation today
will force us to face up to the fact that we must all become
involved ourselves in seeking justice."

Alumna Named Mother of the Year

SARAH HILL BROWN '31 of Richmond, Va.. has been named
Virginia Mother of the Year. She is mother of eight,
grandmother often, and daily mother to seventy-two tots in the
nursery division in one section of the Ginter Park Preschool

establishing a tri-church day care program serving 120
children in the Ginter Park area of Richmond.

After Sarah graduated from Agnes Scott, she took graduate
studies at the Presbyterian School of Christian Education. She
and her minister husband were married in 1932 and served two
pastorates in West Virginia before they went in 1943 to live in
Richmond. Her husband, Aubrey N. Brown, Jr., is editor
emeritus of The Outlook.

Having been honored as the Virginia Mother of the Year,
she goes to New York in May to meet with nominees from all
the other states for the selection of American Mother of the
Year.

Jean Crouch
Leads Drive
for ERA in
South Carolina

JEAN EDWARDS CROUCH '50 of Saluda, S.C, has been serving
as chair of ERA South Carolina since December, 1979.

Active in civic, religious, and business affairs in her
community and state, she has been president of the Saluda
Business and Professional Women's Club and has held
numerous positions in BPW on state, regional, and national
levels including State Legislation Chairman for four terms.
She has served on the Advisory Council of the State Library
and as vice chairman of her Regional Library Board.

Jean, a past president of the Women of the Saluda
Presbyterian Church, was the first woman elected an elder in
her church. She and her husband, Marion, own and operate a
flower and gift shop. They have two teenage daughters, Jane
and Karen.

Mrs. Crouch asserts that her activities with ERA South
Carolina have been in the spirit of the enabling resolution of
the Ninety-second Congress on March 22, 1972. This
resolution proposed the Twenty-seventh Amendment to the
Constitution titled, "Joint Resolution Proposing an Amend-
ment to the Constitution of the United States Relative to Equal
Rights for Men and Women."

She states that few people know that the Equal Rights
Amendment is simply as follows:

Section I: Equality of rights under the law shall not be
denied or abridged by the United States or by any
State on account of sex.

Section II; The Congress shall have the power to enforce,
by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article.

Section III: This amendment shall take effect two years
after the date of ratification.

Jean Crouch is dedicated to extensive educational efforts to
dispel the non-pertinent myths propagandized by the anti
groups. She states, "The undergirding philosophy of ERA
South Carolina's work shall not be to destroy gentleness of
womanhood, but to achieve legal rights of and for all
individuals. At this point in time, ERA must be ratified.
Unless the South Carolina Legislature and legislatures in other
states do ratify this amendment, women will still be
second-class citizens, and also, men will continue to be
victims of inequality."

"Women in Government" (winter 1981)
was most interesting and the contribution
from Giddy Erwin Dyer was particularly
gratifying.

First, I was delighted to find write-ups
about six alumnae holding political office
with the link that several noted between the
liberal arts background and effective politi-
cal service. Second. 1 was most pleased to
read about Mrs. Dyer"s particular involve-
ment in the attempted passage of ERA in
Illinois. In the alumnae survey for our
twentieth reunion I was disappointed and
distressed at the lack of interest and involve-
ment that my fellow classmates felt for the
Equal Rights Amendment. I was subsequent-
ly pleased with the Quarterly' s request for
information about alumnae who are involved
in political affairs.

Congratulations to Mrs. Dyer for her
dedicated career in local and state politics. I
have long believed that I have no right to
criticize "them" when I have not exercised
my political rights through the many chan-
nels open to me. I also concur in her analysis
that to be effective one must become a
recognized expert in a particular field. If
more women would take their fine educa-
tions and their years of volunteer service in
the community and translate them into
appointive or elective office, how much
better this world would be.

I also appreciated Mrs. Dyer's credit to
the League of Women Voters as a training
ground for political involvement and com-
munity service. I am entering my third year
as a local league president, and what I've
learned in the league is surely equivalent to a
master's degree! Finally, I grooved on your
quote from Benet's "John Brown's Body."
I often remember that passage as an apt
description for today, though it describes a
woman of more than one hundred years ago.

THE WINTER quarterly was excellent! Dr.
Pepperdene spoke with perception and elo-
quence of the place Agnes Scott has held in
our lives, and I am grateful to her for putting
our feelings into words.

I enjoyed the article about Giddy Erwin

Dyer also, and I am glad to know that she is

still fighting for ERA up there in Illinois.

I HAVE sent the college a cheque to purchase
a book in honor of Cleo H. Hearon. Miss
Hearon was chairman of the history depart-
ment when I attended Agnes Scott and for
some years before and after I was there.

Miss Hearon was a distinguished scholar
who helped to establish the scholastic stand-
ing of Agnes Scott. I remember one personal
experience which deeply affected my life
and which illustrates the recognition of her
scholarship and also her deep interest in her
students. My story makes me wonder if other
alumnae might have similar memories which,
if collected and disseminated, would illus-
trate in a moving and convincing way the
concern of the faculty of Agnes Scott for the
individual student.

In late 1926 I decided to go to the
University of Chicago to work for an M.A. in
history. I applied and presented my creden-
tials from Agnes Scott and thought that all
was well. Just as I was ready to leave for
Chicago, I received a notification that it was
too late for one to matriculate in the winter
quarter. In great distress I called Miss
Hearon who told me to go to Chicago and
that she would see that everything was all
right when I got to the university. So I left
my small western North Carolina town after
only one or two short visits outside the South
to the then evil city of Chicago and that great
citadel of learning, the University of Chi-
cago.

The morning after I arrived in Chicago. I
went to the university and the office of the
graduate school on a day when classes were
not in session. As I walked down the
deserted corridors, an office door opened
and a very distinguished gentleman stepped
out and said, "Come in Miss Ferguson. I
have been waiting for you. Cleo Hearon told
me to expect you." He was the dean of the
graduate school. He set up my course of
study and took me to each of my professors
to introduce me to them. Needless to say. I
knew I couldn't let Miss Hearon or myself
down and so in three quarters I had the
desired master's degree.

While at Chicago I was told by many
recognized scholars who were my professors
such as William E. Dodd. Ferdinand Sche-
vill. and Andrew C. McLaughlin that Cleo
Hearon was an outstanding scholar. I can't
remember exactly what was said then but I
think that she was granted a Ph.D. from the
University of Chicago with high honors - a
most unusual thing for a graduate degree.
Certainly in a world in which many misun-
derstand Women's Lib. it is good to know that
over fifty years ago a soft-spoken, beautiful,
grey-haired lady from Mississippi stood very

high in the regard of the best in her world of
competition.

Epilogue: Can you believe that a few
weeks after my admission to the University
of Chicago, Dr. James R. McCain, then
president of Agnes Scott, was attending a
conference in Chicago. He took time to
come all the way out to south Chicago to see
that Isabel Ferguson, class of 1925, was
happily adjusted at the university.

Can anyone question that Agnes Scott has
a tradition of concern for its students?

I WOULD like to share with you some
thoughts about my dear friend and teacher.
Dr. Henry Robinson. As a senior math
major, it was my privilege to do my honors
work under Dr. Rob's supervision. My paper
was written on the "Mathematics in Nature
and Art." and it was Dr. Rob who inspired
this effort on my part. Whenever I see the
symmetry of a rose window in a church, the
perfection of a bee's honeycomb, or the
infinite variety of spirals in the structure of
sea shells. I think of Dr. Rob. He could see
God's mathematics everywhere. He taught
us so much more than just formulas and
solving problems; he made mathematics
come alive for us.

A few summers ago my family and I
visited the Robinsons at their summer home
in Hendersonville, N.C. He had a most
appropriate gift waiting for me an
enormous dried sunflower. Its petals had
long fallen away, but one could see the
classic spiral patterns formed by the florets. I
still have this sunflower and have used it
many times to illustrate to students the
mathematical beauty in nature. I often
wonder if Dr. Rob realized how extensive
his influence has been on future generations
of math students.

Dr. Robinson appreciated the mathemati-
cal beauty of man's artistic creations as well
as that of nature. We often talked about the
golden mean proportion used so beautifully
in Greek art. Dr. Rob was a man whose very
life exemplified a golden proportion a
beautiful ratio of inspired teaching and
caring about others. He was truly a Christian
gentleman, a devoted father and husband, a
superb teacher and mathematician, and one
who had the capacity to see beauty where
others failed to see it. The Agnes Scott
community will miss him deariy.

The Case for Women's Colleges

HAVE you ever taken the time to list the
reasons why a women's college is
preferable for a woman? We graduates
of Agnes Scott are a lucky lot, for we
have had the advantage of our years
spent at a women's college. And the
reasons why this kind of education is
important have been carefully resear-
ched by a study group from the Wom-
en's College Coalition, headquarters in
Washington, D.C., and listed in a fact
sheet entitled, "The Case for Women's
Colleges." The following paragraphs
list a few of the facts accumulated by the
Coalition.

The first reason that women's col-
leges are important is that they encour-
age women to be ambitious and to
develop leadership qualities. In a col-
lege for women, all leadership roles are
filled by women. (In 1976, a study
revealed that only 5% of the student
body presidents at coeducational institu-
tions were women.) The Carnegie Com-
mission concluded in a 1973 study that
women in coeducational schools fear
being perceived as less feminine if they
participate actively in class discussions.
In Four Critical Years Alexander Astin
shows that the environment at women's
colleges facilitates student involvement
in the academic area, in interactions
with faculty, and in verbal aggressive-
ness. Another study funded by the Ford
Foundation and the Rockefeller Family
Fund concluded that single-sex institu-
tions "are more likely to foster career-
mindedness and ambition among women
than are coed schools." In a searching
study of women cited for their profes-
sional accomplishments in Who's Who
of American Women. Elizabeth Tidball
discovered that "those women who

graduated from the most selective wom-
en's colleges were twice as likely to
become achievers as were the women
graduates of highly selective coed insti-
tutions."

A second reason that women's col-
leges are important is that they provide
young women with female role models
who are both successful and feminine:
women faculty, administrators, and trus-
tees. Tidball found a highly significant
positive correlation between the num-
bers of women achievers and the num-
bers of women faculty. Several years
ago in a sample of women trustees at
women's colleges and coeducational
colleges, the former had more than
twice as many women on their govern-
ing boards (45% vs. 18%). Of peculiar
importance is the high degree of support
for women's issues by male faculty at
women's colleges an appropriate dem-
onstration of men and women working
together for women's causes.

A third reason for the importance of
women's colleges is that they encourage
and promote the unself-conscious pur-
suit of non sex-typed interests, activi-
ties, and careers. "The percentage of
women majoring in mathematics, chem-
istry, and biology at women's colleges
is two to three times the national
average for women," relates the Coa-
lition. A 1978 study by Jeanne H.
Block, "Sex-related Differences in Edu-
cational Policy," states that positive
reinforcement from role models is es-
pecially critical during the college years
to reverse: (1) the pressure from teachers
who may not take the aspirations of
women students seriously and fail to en-
courage professional roles, (2) the pres-
sure of parents who stress conformity at

this stage and reverse the earlier pattern
of reinforcement for achievement, and
(3) cross-sex peer pressure for confor-
mity to traditional definitions of femi-
ninity.

A fourth reason for the importance of
women's colleges is that they offer
significant current resources (e.g., li-
braries, programs, leadership) to the
present effort to guarantee the full and
equal participation in American Life.
"Dollar for dollar," the Coalition states,
"women's colleges give more for the
money because every dollar is spent for
the development of women. Women
students do not have to wait in line
behind men to use expensive scientific
equipment, computer terminals, stu-
dios, the pool, the tennis courts, or the
gymnasium." The study points out that,
historically, women's colleges have in-
vested more resources in personal and
career counseling "because these col-
leges saw that their aspirations were at
odds with the aims of society at large
and that only energetic compensatory
efforts could build links with women
achievers and alien occupational struc-
tures." Women's colleges have pio-
neered in efforts to develop effective
alumnae networks to help students find
jobs and internships. (Our Career Plan-
ning Office has an article in this issue of
the Quarterly.)

The Coalition has eloquently stated
the case for Agnes Scott College in its
accumulation of facts about all women's
colleges. This verbalization of the rea-
sons for attending our alma mater will
facilitate our efforts in promoting the
College. How many prospective stu-
dents can you recruit?

President Perry
To Retire

On August 18. 1981 , President Perry sent to the
campus community the following letter announcing his
retirement at the end of this College year, 1981-82.

A search committee will be appointed by Chairman
of the Board of Trustees L. L. Gellerstedt, Jr.
Mr. Gellerstedt urges the alumnae to send suggestions
and nominations to the search committee for
consideration .

To the Agnes Scott Community:

It is witii very real regret that I inform you that
I have submitted to the Board of Trustees my notice
of retirement from the office of President of Agnes
Scott College, effective no later than June 30, 1982.
As most of you know, my health has been uncertain
in recent months, and, accordingly, I believe my
decision is the right one at this time, for the College
and for me and my family.

For more than eight years, I have been your
president, and together we have continued to
weather with honor and responsible progress , I believe
perhaps the most trying period in the history of
American higher education. We have kept our academic
program strong in the traditional disciplines while
adding new courses and opportunities needed by women
in today's world. We have fashioned a more
responsive machinery of college governance, with greater
voice in policy making for both faculty and students.
We have entrusted students with virtual autonomy over
their own social and extracurricular life, and they
have effectively honored this trust. We have increased
significantly faculty and staff salaries and benefits
for both active and retired poersonnel. Finally, despite
the pressures of a period of financial stringency,
we have maintained each year a balanced budget free
of debt. In summary, I believe that together we
have kept faith with the vision of our founders and
the efforts of our predecessors here, mindful both
of our great heritage and of the educational needs of
women preparing for life in this turbulent age.

Agnes Scott is a great college, and ours is a
precious heritage. I am convinced that the College
has a firm if challenging future. I believe that
such a future can now be enhanced by fresh and
vigorous new leadership. Mrs. Perry and I shall
always love and admire Agnes Scott and its people.
We shall leave here a large measure of ourselves,
and we shall carry with us cherished and happy
memories of our life here. Let us urge you to
continue to love Agnes Scott, to support it, and
to work for it and for each other.

Good luck, and God bless you all.

Summer 1981

Carrie Scandrett Rememberec

All of us who knew and loved Dick
Scandrett were shocked to hear that she
had slipped away from us on Monday
night. June 8. She went from us as she
would have wished alone, in her own
home, up and about her household
duties.

What a person she was! Dick Scan-
drett was strong and independent. She
had a mind of her own and was not
afraid to say what she thought she
should say or to do what she believed to
be right and wise.

Dick Scandrett had a wonderful sense
of humor. I became accustomed to the
twinkle in her eyes and her ability to see
the funny side of things. She could
laugh at herself, too. Her wit and her
sense of humor stood her in good stead
in numerous situations.

The welfare of students was Dick
Scandrett's obscession. She would insist
that those for whom she had responsibil-
ity face the truth, particularly the truth
about themselves, no matter how much
it hurt to do so. She was not easily
deceived by rationalizations, phony expla-
nations, or dishonest reactions. But
what a friend and what an advocate she
could be! She did not walk off and leave
students who needed her. She was
available to them night and day. Her
office and her home were open to them,
even when it meant that her plans had to
be changed and her personal conven-
ience disregarded.

For forty-four years Miss Scandrett
was a vital part of Agnes Scott's
administration. She served for thirty-one
of those years as Dean of Students. I do
not hesitate to say that Agnes Scott
College was her heart's deepest and
dearest cause.

Dick Scandrett was an honest-to-
goodness Christian. There was in her no
false piety, no cant, no parading of her
religious faith. I worked closely with her
in all kinds of circumstances, and I can
vouch for the fact that her Christian

faith was deep, sincere, and operative
in her every-day decisions and manner
of life.

Dick Scandrett's investment in the
affairs of the College, and especially in
the lives of young people, is one of
Agnes Scott's most treasured spiritual
resources. In all parts of this country
and in many lands abroad, Agnes Scott
students and colleagues honor this great
lady with thanksgiving to God for what
she has meant to them.

Wallace Alston

Carrie Scandrett represented the best
that Agnes Scott has stood for; the
recognition that the process of education
leads out not just minds but human
beings complete and entire. As Dean of
Students she was central in insuring the
quality and intensity of intellectual life
on the campus because she dealt so
incomparably with the task of helping
students to discover who they were, the
necessary present concomitant to all
learning about what people have been in
the past. Her commitment was always to
the welfare of the individual student; her
devotion to individuals played a vital
role in creating the kind of community
in which all members could grow and
learn.

To her task she brought remarkable
human insight, possessing in herself the
knowledge of a cadre of psychiatrists.
Perhaps part of that understanding was
due to her own capacious character;
dignified, reserved, a woman whose
very presence emanated authority, she
yet possessed amazing tlexibility. Rec-
ognizing the various levels co-existing
in every young woman the fearful
child, the stormy adolescent, the preco-
cious intellectual she seemingly
instinctively responded to and under-
stood them all. Her greatest strength was
in knowing precisely what a student

would need, often before the student
herself knew. She then did whatever
was required to meet these needs. No
amount of trouble was too much /or her;
rules were set aside, parents were
summoned or kept away, any arrange-
ments necessary were made. To this day
many of the young women for whom
she did the most have no idea of her
efforts, the care she took to insure that
every individual would have the condi-
tions she needed to function, to develop,
or simply to endure. Awesome in her
understanding of those around her,
indefatigable in moving immediately to
help them, she was also courageous.
Every day she was forced to make
difficult and ugly decisions: for each
one she accepted total responsibility.
Her isolated position must have been
one of the loneliest on the campus, but
she bore that loneliness without com-
plaint, without resentment, and indeed,
without comment. Her integrity and her
trustworthiness were absolute.

D. H. Lawrence wrote; "The glory of
mankind has been to produce lives, to
produce independent, individual human
beings, not buildings or engineering
works, or even art, not even the public
good." Helping to produce such lives
was Miss Scandrett's achievement. Her
success, inadequately represented by
encomia, can only be satisfactorily
shown in the personal and private stories
of all of us whom she served so
extraordinarily well.

Marline Brownle\ '69

I first knew Carrie Scandrett when she
entered Agnes Scott as a student. She
was active in student affairs, and her
leadership qualities were evident from
the beginning. In her senior year, she
was elected student government presi-
dent. Her loyalty to the College, and her

Agnes Scott Alumnae Quarterly

3y Associates

good judgment were characteristics
which led naturally to her appointment
on the staff of the Dean of Students.
Later she became Dean, a position
which she held for many years.

As an administrator, her relationship
with the members of the faculty was
good. She trusted them, and they
respected her. With the students, she
was firm, loving, and generous. She
held up the high ideals of the College to
them, but there was nothing she would
not do for them. It might be that a
student needed money. If this was the
case, she provided the funds. If there
was some other problem, she worked to
solve it.

We worked together at Columbia
University in the women's residences
for several summers. There, I continued
to be aware of her deep concern for
people. She had love to share, and she
shared it with all, regardless of their
race or social status.

Agnes Scott has lost a loyal ally, and
I have lost a friend.

Llewellyn Wilburn '19

Carrie Scandrett's dominant character
strongly influenced the lives of our
family members at several different
stages.

As a student at Agnes Scott during
World War II, I was greatly encouraged
and supported by Miss Scandrett. She
understood the fears that young people
were facing.

When Lawrence and I were married
before my senior year, she was pleased
when told of our plans. At the same
time, she firmly told me in no uncertain
words, I was expected back at Agnes
Scott in September. That type of faith
made me determined to graduate with
my class. Her great encouragement in
my academic life was just the thing that

a twenty-year-old student needed.

We would see her intermittently
during the next twenty years. She had
the same twinkle in her eyes and the
avid interest in our family that she had
had for us as a courting couple.

Imagine the joy Lawrence and I had
when we brought our daughter, Gayle,
to Agnes Scott and she, too, was greeted
by Carrie Scandrett. This was her last
year as Dean of Students. She still had
the warmth and dedication that she had
had twenty years earlier. What a mar-
velous family experience to have our
own daughter know this determined, yet
loving, dean.

We stayed in touch with Miss Scan-
drett for the rest of her life. She
encouraged me to take roles of leader-
ship that I never thought possible.

She always gave of herself in her
retirement just as she had done in her
student and professional life. Even after
she had severe health problems, in fact
the week before she died, she called
Lawrence to thank him for something
the trustees had done for her. She never
asked for herself but spent her life in
doing positive things for others.

Our family is thankful for having had
so many marvelous encounters with
Carrie Scandrett.

Mary Duckworth Gellerstedt '46

From the September day in 1953 when I
arrived on the Agnes Scott campus, I
became increasingly aware of Dean
Carrie Scandrett's interest in and per-
sonal knowledge of the students here.
As a student and later as an employee, I
learned to respect and appreciate the
legacies she gave to me.

My introduction to Agnes Scott was

through the office in Main where Miss

Scandrett personally greeted every new

Paul McCain expresses appreciation for alumnae response.

Alumnae Fund Chairman Laura Whitner Dorsex '35

With laura whitner dorse v "35 of
Atlanta as Alumnae Fund Chariman
for 1980-81. Agnes Scott received
$587,213 from 2.940 alumnae rep-
resenting 31 percent of the active
alumnae. This amount includes gifts to
the Agnes Scott Fund and the Million
Dollar Challenge Fund. Included in this
figure are bequests of $167,605 from
three alumnae. The leadership of 58
class fund chairmen and 271 class
agents was essential in making this
effort successful!

During the past year combined gifts
to Agnes Scott from 4.657 alumnae,
parents and friends, businesses and
foundations totaled S 1.097.4 19. This
amount includes all gifts for endow-
ment, scholarships, equipment, and many
other improvements.

This year 97 business firms contrib-
uted $25,903 to Agnes Scott as they
matched the gifts of 175 donors who
were employees or had other qualifica-
tions. Most firms matched dollar for
dollar, but a few matched on a
three-for-one basis.

Except for those who preferred to
give anonymously, all individuals, foun-
dations, 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.
1980. through June 30. 1981. Gifts
received after the latter date will be
shown in the report for 1981-82.

The Tower Circle is that group of
individuals whose gifts were SI. 000 or
more, the Colonade Club includes those
who gave $500 or more, the Quadran-
gle Quorum for donors of $250 or
more, and the Century Club for those
who gave $100 or more. The asterisk (*)
in the class listing indicates an alumna
who served as a class agent. Double
asterisks (**) are for 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 oppor-
tunity to thank you and express our
appreciation for your fine response!

Agnes Scott Alumnae Quarterly

Association President
Reports Year's Activities

This has been a stimulating and reward-
ing year for me as president of the
Agnes Scott Alumnae Association, and
1 would like to report briefly on our
efforts to further the aims of the
College. As always, new and exciting
happenings are the order of the day at
Agnes Scott.

The staff of the Office of Alumnae
Affairs and the Executive Board of the
Alumnae Association have contributed
invaluably to the successful year we've
enjoyed. You will find pictures of the
Executive Board officers and committee
chairmen on the facing page. The
president, regional vice presidents, sec-
retary, and treasurer compose the Execu-
tive Committee of the Alumnae Associ-
ation. Our purpose is to serve you and
the College and to keep you informed
and involved in alumnae and College
activities.

The climate is good on the campus.
Alumnae-student relationships have flour-
ished this year. For example, alumnae
helped the students refurbish the Hub
(It's beautiful!), and students helped
alumnae by serving as marshals for the
parade and hostesses for the picnic on
Alumnae Day. This interaction between
students and alumnae has resulted in a
new committee. The Student-Alumnae
Liaison Committee was organized by
the Class Council Chairman with the
purpose of achieving better understand-
ing and open communication between
the two groups. Each year three students
will be invited to attend all three
meetings of the Executive Board of the
Alumnae Association. In fact, a senior
and two juniors attended our last board
meeting in April, and I believe it was
interesting and informative to the stu-
dents and board members alike.

The first meeting of the Executive
Board is held each October in conjunc-
tion with Alumnae Council. This Alum-
nae Council provides workshops for
alumnae class presidents, secretaries,
fund chairmen and agents, club presi-

dents, and alumnae admissions repre-
sentatives. It allows these key alumnae
leaders to return to the campus to see
what is going on and to have interaction
with the students and faculty. This year
we enjoyed a luncheon and discussion
time with the Board of Trustees of the
College as well as many faculty mem-
bers.

The four regional vice presidents on
the Executive Board of the Alumnae
Association, the Club Chairman, and
the Alumnae Office have been busy
establishing new alumnae clubs around
the country, and we are happy to report
there are over sixty active clubs located
throughout the United States. Dr. Perry,
a number of faculty and staff members,
and our alumnae regional vice presi-
dents have traveled to many of these
clubs to speak on behalf of the College.

The Education Chairman presented
continuing education courses for Atlanta
area alumnae: 1) "Perspectives of the
Middle East." 2) "The Party's Over,"
a study of American political parties,
and 3) "Andrew Wyeth, American
Artist."

And speaking of lectures, two excel-
lent ones were offered during Alumnae
Weekend: 1) "Biblical Affirmations of
Woman" by Dr. Mary Boney Sheats
and 2) "The Music of the Spheres" by
Dr. Ronald Bymside and Dr. Robert
Hyde. A third lecture which was warm-
ly received was the Founder's Day
address by Dr. Rhoda Dorsey, president
of Goucher College. Lawrence Geller-
stedt, as president of the Board of
Trustees of the College, and I, as
president of the Agnes Scott Alumnae
Association, were delighted to accept
Dr. Perry's invitation to march in the
academic procession at this impressive
occasion.

The Nominations Chairman each year
selects a committee of representatives
from four decades. This group considers
each name submitted to them by alum-
nae to fill the necessary positions. The

President Jackie Simmons Gow

'52

slate of new officers was presented and
elected at the annual meeting of the
Alumnae Association in April.

The Publications Chairman wishes to
be advised of all alumnae who have had
any works published. There was an
alumnae authors' party during Alumnae
Weekend, and copies of various books
by alumnae were displayed.

There was a reception during Alum-
nae Weekend also honoring retired
Agnes Scott professors and our 1981
outstanding alumnae: Marybeth Little
Weston '48, Mary Ben Wright Erwin
'25, and Laura Brown Logan '31. We
are indebted to the Awards Chairman
and her fine committee for the selection
of these honorees from the many nomi-
nations sent in for consideration.

Special honors and entertainment were
provided Alumnae Weekend for the
class of 1931 and earlier classes at the
Fifty Year Club dinner Saturday. A
Sunday morning worship service in
Maclean Chapel, led by Dr. Wallace
Alston, climaxed the weekend in which
more than 700 alumnae participated.

The Projects Chairman participated in
the College's Renaissance Fair. She was
dressed in authentic costume and sold
our Agnes Scott scarves (which are still

Summer 1981

23

available to you) from "Ye Olde Agnes
Scott Alumnae Boothe!"

The Special Events Chairman has
contributed greatly to student-alumnae
interaction by the parties she planned,
beginning with a pizza party to welcome
freshmen last fall. The Peasant Uptown

was the scene of the quiche brunch for
daughters of alumnae. The final event
was a pizza party for the seniors right
after graduation rehearsal.

There are three offices on campus
with which we in the Alumnae Associa-
tion work very closely: 1) The Fund

President Perry- ^reel.s reunion parade.

Office, 2) The Admissions Office, and
3) The Career Planning Office. Our
Fund Chairman works closely with Dr.
Paul McCain, vice president for develop-
ment. This year alumnae have made
gifts totaling $587,213 to the College.

Many of you have served as Alumnae
Admissions Representatives and Volun-
teers to help the Admissions Office.
You have attended sixty college pro-
grams for high school students and have
contacted 525 prospective students.
You have sponsored parties for prospec-
tive students and contacted accepted
applicants by phone or letter. The
College appreciates all these evidences
of alumnae interest and urges you to
increase your participation in these
endeavors.

Alumnae have also been supportive
of the Career Advisor}' Chairman as
well as the Careeer Planning Office of
the College. Alumnae provided homes
in which students may visit while
interviewing for out of town jobs. They
serve as advisers about careers and
sources for possible career opportuni-
ties. We are working on strenghening
this network to aid Agnes Scott students
in every phase of their career choices.

The House Chairman this year has
requested that necessary repairs be made
to the Anna Young Alumnae House,
which is a popular facility used by the
College community and the metropoli-
tan Atlanta community.

The Alumnae Garden Chairman has
an active committee which devotes
many hours throughout the year to
supervise and help keep the garden and
grounds around the Alumnae House in
beautiful condition.

The two immediate past presidents of
the Alumnae Association are invaluable
members of the Executive Board, not
only because of their background know-
ledge of the Alumnae Association, but
also because they serve as trustees for
the College. Thus, they represent alum-
nae interests in the Board of Trustees
meetings and bring us reports of the
business accomplished.

I hope this report has been helpful in
acquainting you with the activities of the
Alumnae Association this past year. We
always welcome your ideas and sugges-
tions and urge you to share your
concerns about the College with us. You
have our full cooperation, for we are
here to serve you and Agnes Scott. A

agreed," she wrote, "that the salads
were better than ever! The bring-your-

tion with us, and we enjoy it. After

amazed at the similarities among them,
except for hairdos and skirt lengths."

eon at the elegant Velvet Cloak Inn in

dotes of Agnes Scott and charmed
everyone. It was wonderful to renew
friendships and make many new friends.
We were reminded again that Scotties
have some very special things in com-
mon." During the social hour before
lunch Dr. McNair showed slides of the
College and "we were fascinated to see
such scenes as Alan Alda and Carol
Burnett on campus for the filming of
The Four Seasons." The Triangle Club

ed. A full account of the day came from
the club's vice president in charge of
College-related activities, Dianne Gers-
tle Niedner '72, who wrote the Almunae
Office that between sixty and seventy
had enjoyed Dr. Perry's description of
recent events at Agnes Scott. "Of
particular interest was information on
the current student body, how these
students compare with past classes, and
what types of applicants the College is
receiving. On a less serious note, he told
of Alan Alda and his movie crew's visit
to Agnes Scott during the filming of The
Four Seasons." Joyce McKee '75 was
recognized as compiler of a directory of

those who attended expressed "a very
special feeling of closeness and camara-
derie as a result of the afternoon
together. And we liked doing something

together." In this relatively new club
there has been "a gradual building of a
nucleus of persons who now not only
have the primary shared-history of hav-
ing attended ASC, but the more recent
history of knowing each other. Conse-
quently, the association itself and its
meetings improve." Serving with Lucy

freshman and gave us our room assign-
ments along with a brief sketch of our
roommates. As the weeks went by, there
was no doubt that she knew us each as
individuals. In the years to follow, as I
worked on her staff, I witnessed the
hours that she put in each summer
getting to know every new student. This
knowledge grew over the years so that
she was a walking encyclopedia of an
alumna's husband, children, careers,
etc. This spring I mentioned something
about a freshman coming in the fall of
1981 whose mother is a former student.
Miss Scandrett immediately told me
where they lived and an anecdote about
the mother.

A deeper aspect of Miss Scandrett 's
feelings for students was shown in the
way she dealt with those who got into
trouble of some sort. She held everyone
to a high standard. Yet when a mistake
had been made, she became a friend and
stood by the young woman with wise
advice in facing the consequences of
actions. As I observed alums over the
years, those who returned to see Miss
Scandrett more frequently than the
former student leaders were the ones
who had encountered real problems in
their college years. They were greeted
with instant recognition and genuine
delight and warmth. She had a way of
making everyone stand just a bit taller
and straighter when in her presence.

Excellence was a characteristic which
she held to in all circumstances. Whether
it was a Black Cat skit, a centerpiece for
an exam tea, or the decor of a cottage
living room, decisions must be made in
good taste and plans carried out to the
best of one's ability.

As I went through campus buildings
toward Gaines Chapel for the Memorial
Service for Miss Scandrett, several
pictures hanging in the halls were
askew. I had to stop and realign them.
This deed illustratres only one of the
many legacies which have come from
Dean Scandrett striving for perfec-
tion, upholding excellence, knowing
individuals, and showing concern for
each acquaintance.

In Memoriam: M. Kathryn Glick

Bx Elizabeth G. Zenn

Everyone who has ever entered
Kathryn Click's office will recall her
dignity as she sat at her roll top desk,
bent over the one leaf which was
miraculously free of the clutter of new
books, book notices, blue books, issues
of Classical Philology, and xeroxed
trivia of local origin which covered the
rest of its surface. This is exactly as I
first remember her, except that on that
occasion there were rather more blue
books than usual because during the
preceding quarter she had met the
emergency of a colleague's illness by
teaching some thirty hours in addition to
directing an honors student. That she
reported this circumstance without com-
plaint was characteristic, for she always
considered that no effort was too great if
it was either necessary or desirable for
her department.

She came to Agnes Scott in 1938
after completing a doctorate at the
University of Chicago at a time when its
classics department was at a peak under
the influence of such academic demi-
gods as Paul Shorey and Henry Prescott,
all eminent scholars and brilliant teach-
ers. Within the broad scope of classical
studies her scholarly interests were
primarily in literature and philosophy
and her principal purpose was to interest
undergraduates in her favorite authors.
When someone asked her whether she
hadn't become tired of repeatedly teach-
ing Plato's Apology, she answered that
every year the students were different.
With individual students she maintained
an unusually sympathetic relationship,
partly because, as she often said, she
was a good listener. Over groups of
students for years she exerted a kind of
mesmerism which she never deigned to
explain, if she was aware of its exist-
ence. Always protective of her student's
interests, she spent unlimited time in
presenting their cases to whatever au-
thority or in assuring the recognition
they deserved.

There were many reasons that she
was ideally situated at Agnes Scott, in
addition to the fact that it was primarily
a teaching institution. First among these
was her complete confidence that the
liberal arts education is most satisfying

to the individual and serviceable in the
greatest diversity of vocations. Equally
was she convinced of the importance of
a college for women where students are
free of the pressure of social convention
which often deters women from rival-
ling men for positions of leadership and
in academic superiority. She had always
been a crusader for the equality of
women, and that at a time when a
crusader acted as an individual and not
as one of a crowd at a rally. Finally, she
was fierce in her loyalty to Agnes Scott
College in particular and would brook
no adverse criticism if it was unrea-
soned.

Straightforward in speech, she dis-
liked all devious manoeuvering. None-
theless, she was usually able to convey
suggestions to a colleague with such tact

that his consideration of her position
was assured. Her public remarks were
always delivered with brevity, force,
and dignity.

These remarks would be deficient if
there were no notice of her second
interest. At Wilson College, where she
had taught before coming to Agnes
Scott, she had kept a horse; but as
Decatur is not horse country, later she
limited herself to dogs. The earliest of
these in my memor>' was an aristocratic
terrier named Katie who was such an
imposing presence that her place could
be filled only by a plurality of succes-
sors. Once 1 heard Katie's mistress
remark that she preferred dogs to peo-
ple; of some people this may have been
true, but it is doubtful that she ever
preferred dogs to students.

Contributions may be made to the M. Kathryn Glick Scholarship Fund.

From the Director

Virginia Bruwn McKenzie '47

Outstanding Alumnae for 1981

Our Custom each year of recognizing
three of Agnes Scott's outstanding alum-
nae is a highlight of the annual meeting
during Alumnae Weekend. A special
committee selects the honorees from
alumnae whose achievements have been
brought to the attention of the Alumnae
Association Executive Board and whose
nominations have been addressed to the
Awards Committee. Three fields of
achievement are considered: service to
the College, service to the community,
and distinguished career. Hand inscribed
certificates were presented to Mary Ben
Wright Erwin '25 for her service to the
College, Laura Brown Logan '31 for
her community service, and Marybeth
Little Weston '48 for her distinguished
career.

The service to the College rendered
by Mary Ben Wright Erwin began
during her College years as a leader in
Blackfriars. She continued her interest
in this organization and served as
chairman of the Blackfriars golden
anniversary celebration and twice was
chairman of the Bennett award judging
committee. During her years as an
alumna she has served as president of
her class and as class fund chairman. In
her involvement with local alumnae
clubs she has been president of both the
Atlanta Agnes Scott Alumnae Club and
the Decatur Agnes Scott Alumnae Club.
Because of her superior administrative
ability and her dedicated effort she has
been asked to serve as chairman of
numerous committees on the national
Alumnae Associaiton Executive Board.
During the past fifty-five years she has
chaired committees for career planning,
continuing education, and nominations.
Her most recent chairmanship was of
the steering committee for the organiz-
ing of our highly successful Fifty Year
Club which brings more than 200
special alumnae back to the campus
each year.

Mary Ben has contributed volunteer
time in the Admissions Office, the
Development Office, and the Alumnae
Office. During the past year she has
assisted us in the Alumnae Office
several hours a day two or three days
each week, and her acquaintance with

alumnae and the history of the College
are invaluable.

In the field of community service
Laura Brown Logan's has been so
broadly dispersed that she has been
commended for world service. This
history and English major began her
career as a high school teacher. When
she married a Presbyterian missionary,
she extended, with him, her outreach to
Japan. Then from 1941-1954, the
Logans were instrumental in building
four suburban churches, in Roanoke,
Va.; Huntington, W. Va.; Lexington,
Ky.; and Nashville, Tenn., all having
their beginnings in the Logan home.

Her work in Japan again evolved after
her husband's death in 1955. In addi-
tion to her teaching in the Minjo Uni-
versity Laura instructed young business
men and women who were studying for
careers in the U. S. or Great Britian.
While here in the United States, Laura
has served on the staff of the Board of
World Missions in Nashville and, most
recently, in Atlanta on the General
Executive Board of the Presbyterian
Church, U. S. In 1975 when the Viet
Nam refugee situation developed, Laura
worked, until her retirement, to place
refugees in sponsoring churches through-
out the United States. Laura's outreach
has been worldwide.

As for distinguished career, the com-
mittee appropriately chose Marybeth
Little Weston who has been a sensitive
and effective writer and editor since she
was an Agnes Scott student writing
scenarios for May Day, serving as guest
editor of Mademoiselle' s college issue.

and publishing her book of poems,
Underside of Leaves. She wrote for the
College newspaper and literary maga-
zines.

She augmented her ASC degree with
graduate work at Zurich, Switzerland,
and has spent her post college writing
career with Mademoiselle, The New
York Times, and House and Garden,
where she has been Garden Editor since
1971,

In addition Marybeth has written
numerous freelance articles and has
been a sought-after speaker on topics of
gardening, writing, and careers. She
was the recipient of the Conrad Aiken
award for poetry in 1961, an honor to
add to her other ASC achievements of
receiving the Hopkins jewel, member-
ship in Mortar Board, and president of
the national Alumnae Association.

Yes, the committee selected three
excellent honorees, and the eloquent
speeches offered by their presenters:
Evangeline Papageorge '28, Julia Thomp-
son Smith '31, and Beth Walton Calla-
way '47 moved the audience to acknow-
ledge that Agnes Scott alumnae are
indeed very special people.

Many more outstanding alumnae need
to be recognized. Won't you help the
