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 
of Decatur has agreed to serve as moderator 
for all sessions. 

The Symposium also features a distin- 
guished Executive Board, consisting of 
Professor Richard Falk, Center of Interna- 
tional Studies, Princeton University: Wyche 
Fowler, Jr., U.S. Congressman from Atlan- 
ta; G. Robert Kerr, executive director of the

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

that Agnes Scott alumnae provided the first contact with 8 percent 
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 



26 



Agnes Scott Alumnae Quarterly 



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.

Agnes Scott Alumnae Quarterly 



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.

Virginia Brown McKenzie '47, director of 
alumnae affairs; Lois Turner Swords '77, 
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.

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;

(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

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 



These women. . . imbued their students . . . with the 
assurance, however unselfconscious, that women are 
the intellectual equal of men and capable of the highest 
achievements in those professions traditionally the 
province of men. 



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 



Agnes Scott Alumnae Quarterly 



handful of colleges across the country 
(and probably in almost no other college 
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. 

In 1978 Miss McKemie was named a

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 



First Woman from Georgi 



Agnes Scot! 



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 
the Illinois Federation of Private Col- 
leges and Universities: Woman of the 
Year Award. 1980, Naperville branch, 
AAUW: the $25,000 State AAUW Re- 
search and Projects Endowment, in

lished in recognition of her twentx years 
in public .service. 




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."

which, as always. I have been heavily 
involved. 

In 1978 I ran as a candidate for 
Florence (S.C.) County Council in the 
Democratic primary (there was no Re- 
publican opposition), made the run-off. 
and then lost. It was a marselous 
experience (except for losing) and a very 
positive opportunity for me to put into 
practice all the intellectual know ledge of 
politics I have from an academic career 
teaching history and political science 
and the behind the scenes experience I 
have acquired in fifteen years of com- 
mitted activity within the Democratic 
party. 

After serving as state secretary of the 
Young Democrats. I was elected the 
second state president of the South 
Carolina Democratic Women. I ha\e 
served as vice chairman of the Richland 
County Democratic party and as state 
vice chairman of Citizens for McCarthy. 
1 was a presidential elector for 
McGovern in 1972 and later served as 
treasurer for the Florence County Demo- 
cratic Party. In 1976 and in' 1980 I 
served on the state steering committee 
for Carter and was co-chair of the Sixth 
Congressional District Carter Cam- 
paign. I do election night television 
analysis with a Republican colleague 
and speak to various clubs on election 
predictions, analysis, or whate\er. 

As an elected official I never made it. 
but. as you can see, politics have been 
an important part of my life (although 
Dr. Posey must surely feel that I failed 
him by becoming so ardent a Demo- 
crat). Especially in working for ERA 1

was a member of the City Council of 
Stockholm, the capital of Sweden. I was 
also a member of the Board of the Port 
Authority of Stockholm. 

After the 1979 election I became a 
deputy member of the City Council and 
vice chairman of the City Board of 
Personnel. I also held a few less 
important posts. 

By the end of 1980 I will leave all my 
political offices to move to Botswana, 
Africa, for a few years. 




Clara Stone Collins '29 
Mobile, Alabama 

I AM A DEMOCRAT and served in the 
Alabama House of Representatives two 
four-year terms from 1963 through 1971 
as the only woman member in the 
legislature. Those were turbulent years 
in the state of Alabama. 

At the end of my first term, I was 
voted by the Capitol Press Corps as 



Cissie Spiro Aidinoff '51 . second 
from right, directed the Citizens 
Committee for the Democratic 
National Convention, New York 
Cin. 1980. 




"Outstanding New Legislator of 1963"; 
in 1964, 1 was voted in a state-wide UPl 
poll of newspapers, radio, and TV as 
"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- 
bama met for the first time (at least there 
were enough to have a meeting!!), I was 
elected president of the AWLs (Alaba- 
ma Women Legislators, pronounced as 
in "You-all," of course). 



B. Merrill Holt '38 
Burlington, N.C. 

On NOVEMBER 4 I was reelected for a 
two-year term as representative of Dis- 
trict 22 (Alamance and Rockingham 
Counties) in the North Carolina General 
Assembly. The hit of my compaign was 
a little plastic "bee" pin. Coincidentally 
the bee is the official North Carolina 
insect. 

I am a member of the Democratic 
Party and have been a representative 
since 1975. 

In the 1979 general assembly I was 
chairman of the Select Committee on 



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

I introduced the bill for staggered 
license plates, worked with Sen. Mills 
to pass a bill for a separate Board for 
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. ..

known facts: Colonel George Washington 
Scott, for instance, not only built the first of 
Agnes Scott's halls of learning but also the 
original First National Atlanta Bank at Five 
Points; and that the first city zoo was an 
outcome of the sale of a defunct circus. Club

ages. 

Dallas- Fort Worth 

"Wi, ALL LNJUYL.u Mary Boney Sheats." 
wrote Dallas-Fort Worth president. Joan 
Lawrence Rogers '49. after the Agnes Scott 
Bible professor met with alumnae for a noisy 
but happy luncheon November 8 in the huge 
Loew's Anatole Hotel in Dallas. Dr. Sheats 
was attending a meeting of the American 
Academy of Religion and the Society of 
Biblical Literature and took time out to greet 
local alums. "She brought literature from the 
College, which all were interested in, and 
there were many questions and much discus- 
sion  altogether a very worthwhile meet- 
ing." During her busy stay in the area Dr. 



Sheats also preached at the Riverview 
Presbyterian Church. Lucy Hamilton Lewis

season with more than seventy alumnae and 
friends present. Dr. Ron Bymside. professor 
of music and chairman of the department, 
gave a program on "Christmas Music From 
the Classics." He was "charming and 
delightful." said his listeners afterwards, 
saying their appreciation and enjoyment of 
the selections chosen were much deeper 
because of his comments on them. The club 
had an equally large turnout at its luncheon 
September 25 when their favorite opening 
speaker. President Manin B. Perry. Jr.. and 
Mrs. Perry were special guests. Dr. Harry 
Wistrand. assistant professor of biologv. was 
a big hit in October, when he brought to 
Winship Living Room some animal friends 
from the West. He gave a fascinating 
account of the Agnes Scott "Desert Biology 
Trip. 1980," describing the mini-bus trip of 
a group of students to the sands of Arizona 
and beyond. Club President Mary Ben 
Wright Erwin '25 presided at the meetings.

stage, she presented a one-woman show, 
"The American Wotnan in Twentieth Cen- 
tury Drama" and delighted her audience 
with her varied selections. Dr. Ste\e 
Haworth. assistant professor of political

the area's Agnes Scott family of ail ages

Mid-ninety degree weather drove the pic- 
nickers indoors for lunch, but "as the sun 
was setting," wrote Edith, "a tractor pulling 
a hay wagon was brought to the door, and we 
all went on an old-fashioned hayride. Chil- 
dren and grownups alike had a good time!" 



Lynchburg 



"Our Al.UMNAF. were enchanted by their visit 
with Dr. and Mrs. Perry," wrote Lynchburg 
Club President Ann Hershberger Barr "62 
after the College"s president talked to the 
large group November 8 about present day 
Agnes Scott and future plans. "Their enthu-

him with us,"" wrote Club President Anne 
Pollard Withers "61, "and Mrs. Perry added 
so much with her gracious interest in 
everyone. We felt the meeting was particu-

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.

Shannon Preston Ciimmin^^. Dr. Perry. Annie Wiley Preston at Fifty-Yeur Cluli Dinner 



By Rudene Taffar Young '34 



Annie shannon wii^ey preston "99, Agnes 
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. 
Georgia 30030.

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

"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.

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-

Update 



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. 



There are groups of courses in mechanics, 
electromagnetism. thermal physics, and quan- 
tum mechanics. Laboratory work empha- 
sizes electronics and modem instmmentation. 
Again the stress is on understanding the 
principles in\ol\ed. rather than on the 
cookbook recitation of circuit types found in 
some technical school courses. 

Our laboratory program was greatly 
helped by a National Science Foundation 
matching funds grant which the deparlmeni 



.4gnes Scott Alumnae Quarterly

niing 




Dr. Robert Hyde, director of Bradley Observatory 



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 Alumnae Quarterly 



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.

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

"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.

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,

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."

Letters 



I READ the Agnes Scott Alumnae Quarterly 
with interest but rarely does it propel me 
straight to the typewriter. The article on 
"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.

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

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

erage was given the event by the Albany 
Herald. 



Young Atlanta 

FUN" AND GREAT" WERE the Young 
Atlanta Club"s reactions to its very 
successful May 16 theatre party, which 
concluded its year"s programs. Hus- 
bands, dates, and friends of Young 
Atlanta members were invited to the 
club"s cocktail party at the Alumnae 
House before the play and then ad- 
journed to Winter Theatre to enjoy a 
student performance of Thomas Babe"s 
Taken In Marriage. Another success for 
the club was its April 7 meeting at the 
home of Trish Huggins Farmer "78. 
whose sister Sandy is a registered nurse 
and gave a fascinating program on 
"Coping with Stress."' Sandy discussed 
symptoms of stress in everyday life. 



how to change the things we can, and 
how to cope with stress that cannot be 
changed. The group had enjoyed in 
February Dr. McNair"s presentation of 
"Anecdotes of Agnes Scott" at the 
home of Cathy Winn Courtney '78, 
Officers are Lois Turner Swords '77

award to the outstanding girl in next 
year"s Norcross High School graduting 
class. The presentation will be made at 
the schooPs honors day exercises, BGN 
President Julia Kennedy '60 reported 
that in February the club "very much 
enjoyed the talk by Alice Cunningham, 
She described the organization and 
duties of the many regulatory agencies 
in government and how an attempt is 
being made to simplify the set-up. It 
was a thoroughly delightful presentation 
and especially meaningful to the many 
who had had dealings with the various 
agencies,'" The professor of chemistry 
spoke at the club"s Founder"s Day 
meeting, a covered dish luncheon at 
Lawrenceville Female Seminary,

"Southern culture in transition" 
was the title of the talk given for 
Charleston alums and prospective stu- 
dents by Dr. Caroline Dillman, assistant 
professor of sociology, at their March

at the home of Elta Posey Johnston '69. 
Afterwards Margaret wrote that Dean 
Gary's presentation was excellent and of 
great interest to everyone. "The alum- 
nae asked many questions. We could 
have stayed there talking for hours. This 
was our first meeting in awhile, and 
everyone there seemed delighted to get 
together. It was a tremendous success, 
and Dean Gary was the perfect speaker 
for us." Back on campus Dean Gary 
reported that she had a fine time with the 
alums, who were "very enthusiastic and 
very vocal."

Setting for the Sunday afternoon affair 
was the Women's Survival Center in 
Tampa, an old mansion which is being 
restored and refurbished. "Everyone 
was interested to hear Dr. Perry tell 
about the current situation and changes 
at Agnes Scott. They also enjoyed 
visiting with each other and exploring 
the old house," wrote Amy Ledebuhr 
Bandi '74, secretary. Pam Arnold Mil- 
han '72, president, is a counselor at the 
center. 



Tallahassee,

A salad luncheon and "share-your- 
old-annual party" provided much fun 
for alums in the Virginia Tidewater area 
March 28, when they met at the 
Newport News home of Susan McCann 
Butler "68. president. "Everyone 
agreed," she wrote, "that the salads 
were better than ever! The bring-your- 
own-salad luncheon has become a tradi- 
tion with us, and we enjoy it. After 
lunch we exchanged annuals, and were 
amazed at the similarities among them, 
except for hairdos and skirt lengths." 
Jean Price Knapp '57, secretary, has 
already offered her home in Portsmouth 
for next year's meeting. 



Raleigh-DURHAM-CHAPHL hill alumnae

eon at the elegant Velvet Cloak Inn in 
Raleigh." according to President Beth 
Fuller Smith "61, who wrote that "the 
ever-young Dr. McNair gave his anec- 
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 
plans to present dictionaries to outstand- 
ing juniors in several area high schools 
as Agnes Scott awards. Officers include

Country Club in Kingsport April 1 1 . 
Preceding dinner Df. Campbell showed 
slides of the campus and of various 
faculty members, "enjoyed by all,"" 
wrote Flora Campbell McLain '43, 
president. "Following the buffet she 
gave a delightful and knowledgeable 
presentation on Africa and U.S. policies 
there. The men present particularly 
enjoyed her talk and entered into the 
quesiton session afterwards. She was 
received with much enthusiasm. It was a 
very successful and enjoyable even- 
ing." Martha Campbell Williams '62 
will have leadership responsibilities next 
year, when a meeting is planned in 
Johnson City.

Glowing accounts were received 
on all sides from the huge luncheon the 
Washington, D.C. Club had March 21 
at the Kennedy Warren dining room to 
welcome President and Mrs. Marvin B. 
Perry, Jr., to the nation's capital, ""it

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 
Washington area alumnae and Rose Ann 
Cleveland Fraistat '75 as its illustrator.

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

Remembered

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.

Agnes Scott Alumnae Quarterly 



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 
Almunae Association by listing your
