Second Year of Honor Scholars Program

By Laurie K. McBr

)

DIRECTOR OF ADMISSIONS Judith Ma-
guire Tindel '73 described the 1980-81
Honor Scholars as good investments.
"They are very well-rounded people."
she said. Mary K. Owen Jarboe '68,
chairman of the Honor Scholars com-
mittee, said that not only were these
students very successful in their studies,
but they also became involved in areas
other than academics. Fifteen of the
sixteen re-registered for the 1981-82
school year and each received a renewal
of her $2,500 scholarship.

Requirements for the honor scholar-
ship include academic excellence and
extracurricular involvement in high school
and an SAT composite of 1200.

Six of the finalists who did not
receive scholarships did enroll. One was
alumna daughter Katherine Edwards
(Mary Elizabeth Turner '45). Two of
the other students were named 1982
Dana Scholars.

The Honor Scholars became involved
in campus activities not as a group, but
individually. In the fall at a discussion
session initiated by Dean of the College
Julia Gary and Mrs. Jarboe, they voiced
their desire not to be singled out: they
explained that they did not want special
attention. They did cooperate as a group
during the 1981 February weekend for
honor scholar finalists; most of them
served as hostesses.

The following list of the 1980-81
Honor Scholars not only reflects their
diversity, but also indicates their achieve-
ment and involvement: Melissa Aber-
nathy (Richmond), ASC film series,
hockey team; Cheryl Carlson (Bay St.
Louis, Miss.), class social chairman,
student admissions representative, ori-
entation book committee, Dana Scholar;

Helen Stacey was accepted to Duke.
Davidson. Wake Forest, and Georgia
Tech in addition to ASC. She said she
was looking for a small liberal arts
college and she "liked the fact that ASC
was a woman's college once I visited
it." Her mother. Helen Culpepper '59.
and several aunts graduated from Scott.
Denise Mazza said that ASC was the
only school to which she applied. She

explained. "'I visited the school and fell
in love with it."

This spring nine 1981-82 Honor
Scholars were named: Anne Coulling
(Lexington, Va.), Laura Feese (Dan-
ville, Ky.), Becky Fornwalt (Sylacauga,
Ala.), Melanie Lott (Hinesville, Ga.),

catur). Meg Winter (Jacksonville). Be-
linda Yandell (Savannah). Melanie Lott
is the daughter of Dorothy Ann Ripley

of Mary Price '49. Margaret Shippen,
the daughter of Anita Moses '60, was
named a National Merit Scholar and
received the Brown University Book
Award. Her activites at Pace Academy
included being the opinions editor of the
school newspapper and editor of the
literary magazine. A pianist, she was
the recipient of the Outstanding Per-
formance Award. She also received the
Frank D. Kaley Award. Pace Acade-
my's highest student award. Margaret
was accepted to Yale, Princeton, Wes-
leyan, and Kenyon. She said she chose
to attend ASC because of its friendly
atmosphere and because she was offered
the scholarship. She explained that her
mother used to work in admissions so
she knew a lot about the school's
traditions, such as Black Cat. In addi-
tion to the honor scholarship recipients.
four finalists enrolled this year.

Ms. Tindel said the purposes of the
Honor Scholars Program are threefold:
to improve the academic quality of the
student body, to increase enrollment of

students from distant regions of the
country, and to provide alumnae with an
opportunity for involvement in admis-
sions. Judy described the program as a
"natural extension of the academic
focus on the Agnes Scott campus."

Judy. Mary K.. and Bonnie Brown
Johnson '70, director of financial aid,
produced the blueprint for the Honor
Scholars Program, which the Board of
Trustees established. The money to fund
the Agnes Scott Honor Scholars Pro-
gram is not derived from the money
designated for financial aid. Monetary
needs over and beyond the honor schol-

arship will be met by the financial aid
office, however.

The honor scholars program is grow-
ing and is a success, according to Ms.
Tindel. The first year. 88 students
applied for the scholarship: this past
year there were 120 applicants for the
scholarship and this pool showed a
greater geographical distribution. Ms.
Tindel said that direct mail. ASC press
releases, admissions trips to high schools,
and alumnae aid all contribute to the
increase in the applicant pool. Alumnae
have participated in the selection of the
Honor Scholars. Jane King Allen '59,
Marian Franklin Anderson '40. and
Joyce McKee '75 participated on the
interview panel in 1980; Jackie Sim-
mons Gow '52. Harriet King '64. and
Dot Holloran Addison '43. served on
the panel in 1981. Judy Tindel said that
the alumnae were asked to do a lot of
work. She said. "They have been active
participants and have provided a differ-
ent perspective whether lawyer or
homemaker. Some have college-aged
daughters of their own." She said that
the Admissions Office frequently relies
on alumnae, and the best ways they can
help are to spread the word about ASC
and to recommend prospective students
by calling collect (404-373-2571) or
sending in names. Deadline for applica-
tion for the scholarship is January 15.

Assistant Dean Mollie Merrick '57
said that the Honor Scholars Program is
valuable because it is "good to recog-
nize excellence." And appreciating excel-
lence is what ASC is all about.

Women and Mindpower

As many of you probably already know
from the announcements which were
mailed to the greater Atlanta alumnae.
Agnes Scott is having a year-long
symposia series on women, entitled
"Women and Mindpower." During the
first segment of this series in the fall
quarter, our theme is "Women and
Scholarship." The program of events
includes two major addresses, one panel
discussinon and two informal lunch
discussions which we have decided to
call "Hub Talks." The two major
addresses were by Florence Howe,
founder and president of the Feminist
Press and Professor of Humanities at the
State University of New York ("The
Future of Women's Education and Wom-

en's Studies," September 29) and Alice
Emerson, president of Wheaton College
in Norton, Massachusetts ("Women's
History: Education's Biggest Oil Field."
September 30). The panel discussion on
"Local Perspectives on Women and
Scholarship" was held on September 30
in the Rebekah Reception Room. In
addition to Professors Emerson and
Howe, women educators from Emory
University, Georgia State University.
Spelman College, and the University of
Georgia were on the panel. The two
"Hub Talks" were September 24
(Women and Religion: A Question of
Oppression") and October 22 ("Physi-
ological and Psychological Difficulties

Between Men and Women"). These
were bring-your-own-lunch discussions
in the Hub. In the next issue of the
Alumnae Quarterly, look for an article
on this first segment of the symposium.
"Women and Mindpower" continues
on February 24-25 with "Women and
Achievement" and concludes April 14-15
with "Women and the College Curricu-
lum." Again, each segment will include
two addresses on the major theme, one
panel discussion and two "Hub Talks."

Alumnae Quarterly for announcements.

department.

Aenes Scott Alumnae Quarterly

Agnes Scott's Endowment and
Other Permanent Funds

Through the yi:ars 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 equipment 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 purposes. 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, 1981. This list
describes individually all funds of SI. 000 or
more, but it does 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.

STRENGTH IN THE SCIENCES

Despite recent dire predictions about the future of
American higher education, especially the private or inde-
pendent sector, the 1980-81 year on balance was an
encouraging one for American colleges and universities.
The private institutions, especially women's colleges,
appear to have shared fully in these positive developments.
Application for 1981 admissions, for example, increased
some 7% nationally over 1980, while at Agnes Scott, to
our delight, the increase was over 20%, the largest in
over a decade. The Agnes Scott experience is especially
encouraging insofar as private institutions in the South-
east reported an overall decline in number of applica-
tions received. National authoritative studies continue
to show, as they have for many years now, that the
graduates of women's colleges are still surpassing
women graduates of coeducational colleges in professional
and career achievement, self-confidence and leadership,
in career-mindedness, and a sense of identity and self-
worth. We at Agnes Scott are convinced that we can
still encourage and promote among women the pursuit of
any kind of intellectual and career interest, including
those traditionally dominated by men. We can provide
successful role models among women faculty and
administrators while giving our students more opportuni-
ties for leadership experience than do coeducational
institutions.

As a liberal arts college of quality, Agnes Scott
seeks today to encourage in its students the attitudes and
skills necessary for success in any life endeavor, includ-
ing careers: powers of critical reasoning, an active curiosity,
a lively creativity. To develop these abilities, we have
long offered studies in mathematics and the natural sci-
ences, the humanities, the social sciences, and the
fine arts. Today this curriculum is supplemented by
courses in business and management and, with Georgia
Institute of Technology, a dual degree program in engi-

neering, industrial management, and computer science.
The liberal arts curriculum includes the courses needed
for pre-professional preparation for law, medicine, the
ministry, and business. Our enviable 1 to 8 faculty
student ratio makes it possible for us to continue our
tradition of individualized instruction.

As Agnes Scott approaches its centennial in 1989,
the College is more than ever concerned with planning
for a future which will keep its programs strong and
valuable for tomorrow's women. The records of our
alumnae convince us that our liberal arts program,
imaginatively adapted to changing needs, and our single
sex status are assets which will continue to be of
great value in the higher education of women. Indeed,
they are perhaps of greater value than ever before in
this day of pressures for the quick acquisition of
marketable skills, often at the expense of genuine educa-
tion as opposed to mere training, and of increasing
but still limited opportunities for women throughout our
society.

Agnes Scott is a liberal arts college of quality in an
age which desperately needs quality education. The
United States has opened educational opportunities to
more people than has any country in the history of
the world, but this numerical breakthrough does not invali-
date the need for institutions of top academic quality.
Indeed, the need for quality in education today is all the
more urgent. The nation therefore needs colleges like
Agnes Scott. Even more, Georgia and the Southeast
need colleges like Agnes Scott, for the Southeast today
is the nation's most hopeful section with the nation's
greatest growth potential and the greatest opportunities
for both socio-economic and educational-cultural develop-
ment. As one of the leading colleges of the South-
east, Agnes Scott must continue to contribute to this
development, and it must continue to secure the funds
necessary to maintain its position of leadership.

Fall 1981

A great liberal arts college must have strong programs
in the natural sciences, taught by competent faculty
in safe, up-to-date, and well-equipped facilities. Almost
from the beginning, Agnes Scott has maintained strong
programs and resources in the natural sciences. As early
as 1912, separate departments of biology, chemistry,
and physics offered comprehensive programs in these
disciplines taught by a group of distinguished profes-
sors. Highly individualized instruction, coupled with mod-
ern equipment and facilities, have produced at Agnes
Scott a long line of undergraduate majors in the natural
sciences. Many of these alumnae have gone on to
earn distinction in graduate schools, in scientific research
and teaching, and in the medical professions. This
high percentage of students interested in science is not
unusual for a women's college. Nationally, the per-
centage of women majoring in mathematics, chemistry,
and biology at women's colleges is 2 to 3 times the
national average for women. In addition, women who
earn Ph.D.'s in the sciences are more likely to have
earned bachelor's degrees from women's colleges than
from coeducational institutions.

Agnes Scott's continuing concern for excellence in
the natural sciences has resulted in periodic improve-
ments to our science facilities and the acquisition of new
and more sophisticated equipment. One such improve-
ment was the building of Bradley Observatory, in 1949.
which still houses the largest telescope on a college
campus in the Southeast. Other improvements for main-
taining quality science programs, for example, have
earned the Department of Chemistry's curriculum the
continuous approval of the American Chemical Soci-
ety over the past twenty-five years.

If Agnes Scott is to maintain its strong programs
in the natural sciences, the faculty and program must be
supported by modern, safe facilities. To continue to
attract students interested in the natural sciences and
maintain our traditional high quality of instruction, it
is imperative that the present science hall be thoroughly
renovated. Accordingly, our plant priority for the
1981-82 academic year is the actual work of renovation,
already underway, and the raising of the necessary
funds to do the job well.

The science hall was completed in 1951 and incor-
porated at the time the most up-to-date facilities
appropriate for natural science teaching and research in a
small liberal arts college. Its construction happily came
at a time when the sciences began to play an ever-larger
role in American life and consequently in college
curricula. Now. almost three decades later, many changes
in scientific instruction and research call for new major
improvements, and advances in health and safety stand-
ards necessitate changes to meet new codes.

The present renovation of the science hall will be
concerned chiefly with the improvements to insure the
health and safety of students and faculty and to up-date
facilities for teaching and research. Cosmetic improve-
ments will be secondary. 1 am confident that our alum-
nae and friends recognize the very valid need for
"keeping up" in the natural sciences and will support
this current renovation of our science hall with their
customary active participation and financial support.
Let me emphasize, in asserting the priority of the

science building renovation in the year ahead, that Agnes
Scott will continue its efforts to increase its endow-
ment and maintain its annual operating commitments to
students, faculty, and staff. Such commitments must
not be allowed to suffer, and we shall continue to stress
the importance of the Agnes Scott Fund for general
support and of planned giving programs as vital factors
in meeting annual operating expenses and insuring the
steady overall growth in quality and service of the Col-
lege.

THE COLLEGE YEAR: 1980-1981

In number of significant ways the 1980-1981 academic
year was a memorable one. Beginning with the entrance
of an excellent freshman class, including our first group
of Honor Scholars, it saw also the successful completion
of the Million Dollar Challenge Fund instigated by the
National Endowment for the Humanities, the selection of
Agnes Scott's first Rhodes Scholar (the first woman Rhodes
Scholar from Georgia), and a record number of appli-
cants for the 1981-82 entering class.

My high estimate of the year's achievements is
seconded by Dean Gary in her positive and enthusiastic-
Agnes Scott Alumnae Quarterly

annual report to me. She terms the 1980-81 session
"an exceptionally good one, . . . filled with good stu-
dents, good working relationships, enough controversy
to keep life interesting, and even a few exciting commit-
tee meetings." Among other reasons, she cites "the
very strong freshman class," the Honor Scholars program.
our excellent student aid program, and the dedicated
service to students, faculty, and staff of our Office Ser-
vices staff under the direction of Pat Gannon.

Dean Gary reports further that because of some sav-
ings in the 1980-81 session, about $10,000 worth of
micro-processor equipment was purchased for faculty use.
particularly in the departments of chemistry and math-
ematics. Largely because of additional funds produced
by the NEH Million Dollar Challenge Fund, the hard-
working Faculty Committee on Professional Development
was able to increase opportunities for faculty research
and productive scholarship and to propose new and more
liberal guidelines for faculty travel expenditures in
pursuing approved research and scholarship.

Among a rich variety of extra-curricular offerings
during the year, two undertakings stand out: the Atlanta
symposium sponsored by Agnes Scott on the theme
"The Ethics of Scarcity" and the year-long Renaissance
Festival, inspired by the exhibit at the High Museum
in Atlanta of a fascinating collection of Shakespeareana
from Washington's great Folger Library. The sympo-
sium brought to the campus a variety of dedicated and
prominent speakers concerned with ecology; and the
Renaissance Festival involved not only Shakespearean
plays, lectures on Elizabethan art, politics, literature,
and programs of Renaissance music, but also a college-
wide "Renaissance Faire" in April climaxed by a
marvelous feast of Elizabethan food and drink.

With the successful completion of the NEH Million
Dollar Challenge Fund, announced at Founder's Day
in February, spring activity in the area of plant develop-
ment centered on final planning for the renovation of
Campbell Science Hall. By the year's end an architec-
tural firm had been selected and work begun on blue
prints and planning, with renovation scheduled to begin
in the late winter of 1982. A planning committee
composed of the deans and faculty from the natural
sciences coordinated plans for the renovation. In expres-
sing her appreciation for these delegated responsibilities,
Dean Gary wrote, "It is perhaps rare that faculty and
deans in colleges are given this kind of voice about so
large an amount of money."

A relatively new activity at Agnes Scott, the Media
Resource Center, under the direction of Linda Hilsen-
rad, saw significant developments in 1980-81. For exam-
ple, there was increased use of videotaping in education
and psychology classes; in biology, chemistry, and pot-
tery labs; at the environmental symposium and other
lectures; in dance and tennis classes; for health services;
and for the German drama competition held on cam-
pus. These videotapes are put to various uses: some are
to play back for instant self-analysis (education, ten-
nis, dance); some are to document campus events (the
enviromental symposium, Eudora Welty's reading);
others are for demonstration purposes (biology, chemis-
try, pottery); and some are sent off campus for publicity
and information purposes (the German drama competi-

Fall 1981

tion). A most effective slide show, shown at Sophomore
Parents Weekend, was produced by the Office of Media
Services in cooperation with the Office of Public Rela-
tions.

Agnes Scott's library collections, under the capable
care of our excellent staff headed by Librarian Judith
Jensen, continue to serve not only our own faculty and
students, but other libraries in the Atlanta area. While
on-campus circulation statistics showed a decrease this
year, there was a marked increase in off-campus use
of our library facilities and a large increase in inter-
library loans. The total number of items in our library
collections, including books, periodicals, microfilm, and
recordings, is now well in excess of 180,000. At the
present rate of acquisition, book storage space will be-
come a problem before the end of the decade. In her
annual report, Librarian Judith Jensen expressed her
appreciation "for the strong support given to the Library
by the College, . . . support which, along with the
grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities,
has enabled us to maintain a strong, balanced coverage
in all our study areas."

Much of the credit for the high campus morale and
good spirits of the past year goes to the Office of
Admissions, whose hard-working and enthusiastic staff
under the leadership of Director Judith Tindel, ably
assisted by the faculty Admissions Committee, assembled
an outstanding freshman class for 1980-81 and pro-
ceeded during the year to attract a record number of
applicants for September, 1981. There were 148 fresh-

men among the 185 new students, representing 23 states
and several countries overseas. Agnes Scott's traditional
concern to enroll strong students is evidenced by the
high school records and test scores of recent entering
classes. More than half of the 1980 freshman class, like
all recent entering classes, stood in the top quarter of
their high school graduating classes and had test scores
far above the national average for women. For exam-
ple, the Agnes Scott freshman composite average SAT
score was 1110 as compared to the national compos-
ite average for women of 863. One indication of chang-
ing student quality nationally is the fact that, while
Agnes Scott freshman SAT scores in 1980 were not the
highest in our history, they are higher than they have
ever been above the national average. It is important to
note also that successive entering classes continue to
evidence not only superior academic achievement but
also a wide variety of extra-curricular activity and leader-
ship. Additional evidence of the Admission Committee's
intelligent selectivity is shown by the very low rate of
attrition among upperclassmen at Agnes Scott. The per-
centage of students eligible to return who actually
register for the following year at Agnes Scott has been
in the high 80's in recent years. This September, the
Registrar reports, over 927c of out students eligible to
return are in attendance.

Two areas of our recruiting and admissions activities
should be mentioned: our Return to College program
and the new Honor Scholars program. The Return to
College program, for women beyond the traditional
college age, continues to be a source of excellent stu-
dents who contribute significantly to the academic
quality of the student body. Their grades are excellent,
and they win a full share of College honors each
year. The 1981 graduating class included 17 RTC stu-

18

dents, some of whom were grandmothers! The Honor
Scholars program, inaugurated in the 1980-81 session,
brought 16 honor scholars and an additional 7 final-
ists to the College last September. Their freshman records
attest to their outstanding promise in both academic
and extra-curricula areas. The Honor Scholars program
calls for an average of about 10 honor scholars per
class. Our alumnae and friends have played a significant
role in helping us seek out these superior young women
and attract them to Agnes Scott.

The area of student life at any college, especially in
these difficult days for young people, is always a mixed
bag: a mixture of high morale and low spirits, of
happy achievers and worried drifters, of contributors and
problem-causers. We have been fortunate at Agnes
Scott that the latter categories have always been in the
minority, and this is still true. At the same time, I
am well aware of the constant efforts of Dean of Stu-
dents Martha Kirkland and her devoted staff to seek
out and help solve many kinds of student problems.
Most of this activity is understandably of a confiden-
tial nature, unpublicized and unrecognized. But for those
who are helped, and their parents and associates, it is
seldom unappreciated. Certainly, we in the administration
and faculty are well aware of the valuable contribu-
tions made by the Dean of Students' staff to the health,
safety, and comfort of our students.

The Office of Career Planning, under the direction
of Kathleen Mooney. continues to play an increasingly
important role in student life and planning at Agnes
Scott. Each year sees more students taking advantage
of the opportunities available through the Office of Ca-
reer Planning and participating in its varied offerings.
Such offerings include the "Shadow" program, intern
and externships (over 100 students participating this

Agnes Scott Alumnae Quarterly

year), job-hunting workshops for seniors and juniors,
summer jobs workshops, and a newly instituted Fresh-
man Career Orientation program. More than 450 stu-
dent appointments were made with the Office in the
past year, and well over a thousand job vacancy notices
were received. A weekly "jobs" bulletin is sent to
all seniors in addition to a weekly campus newsletter
from the Office of Career Planning. To date about
150 alumnae have offered to assist the Office with ca-
reer planning programs through the ASC (alumnae/-
student/careers) network. During the past summer, a
business internship development project has been under-
taken by a student summer intern. Valerie Hepburn '83.
who conducted a feasibility study for developing intern-
ships with Atlanta area businesses. Cooperation from
Atlanta business executives was enthusiastic and most
helpful. We are indebted to Director Kathleen Mooney
and Assistant Director Elizabeth Wood and their staff
for developing a highly professional and most valuable
activity at the College.

Another office under the aegis of the Dean of Stu-
dents, one of equal importance to our students, is the
Office of Financial Aid, whose director, Bonnie Johnson,
and assistant, Alice Grass, have played a major role
in our recent success in attracting students to Agnes
Scott and making it possible for them to continue

their education here. The recent changes in Washington.
in addition to the already difficult problems of infla-
tion and economic uncertainty, make student financial
aid an unusually difficult area to administer. Thanks
to the most efficient efforts of Bonnie Johnson and her
staff, I am able to report that our student financial aid
program continues to be a strong one, and we are still
able to meet the full officially indicated need of every
student. It is by no means certain that we shall be able
to continue this comprehensive aid program to stud-
ents in the years immediately ahead, but we are aware of
the problems and are taking steps to meet them. For ex-
ample, at the end of this fiscal year, the Board of Trus-
tees, on my recommendation, transferred an additional
$50,000 of undesignated operating funds to the student
loan program.

In these times of uncertain economic conditions and
continuing unemployment, students are more than ever
concerned over job prospects and career possibilities after
graduation. In recent years the Office of Career Plan-
ning has conducted a follow-up survey of each graduat-
ing class to get some idea of where our students go
upon graduation. The lastest survey, of the class of 1980,
elicited over 77% of returned questionnaires, and addi-
tional information on the class was gathered from other
sources. The questionnaires returned indicated that 67%

number less than 2%. As one would expect, the num-
ber and variety of jobs equal the diversity of graduate
programs pursued by those still in formal study. The
"job satisfaction" of those employed appears to be high,
with over 81% reporting their work as "challenging."
with almost 70% expressing satisfaction with their sala-
ries, and more than 70% apparently satisfied with
long-range aspects of their work.

The year saw a number of renovations and improve-
ments designed to increase student comfort and extra-
curricular pleasure. The refurbishing of public rooms
in Inman dormitory was completed and has been enjoyed
by its residents this year. Thanks to the initiative of
student government officers, especially Student Govern-
ment President Laura Klettner '81, the Hub was com-

pletely renovated, with fresh paint, wall-to-wall
carpeting, and new furnishings, including a second pool
table. Through Laura's efforts, alumnae husbands in
Dalton, Georgia, donated the handsome wall-to-wall car-
peting which complements the paint scheme of the
"new" Hub. During the past summer, some of the pub-
lic rooms in Main dormitory have been repainted and
the furniture reupholstered. These improvements are a
part of our continuing plan to systematically renovate
all dormitory public rooms.

The 1980-81 year, like its predecessors, was full
of a wide variety of educational, cultural, and social
offerings on the campus, most of which were open to
the general public. Each year I have tried to give some-
thing of the flavor and diversity of these events by
listing some representative "highlights." The following
selection is only a portion of the very full calendar of
the year, but I hope it will indicate our continuing attempt
to offer students, faculty, and Atlanta friends opportu-

Agnes Scott Alumnae Quarterly

Terry McGehee, right, directs art lab.

The Agnes Scott Alumnae Association continues to
be a bulwark of strength and vitality in support of the
College and its programs. This year's president, Jacquelyn
(Jackie) Simmons Gow '52, and her executive board
assisted Director of Alumnae Affairs Virginia McKenzie
and her busy staff in chalking up another outstanding
year of alumnae activities. More than 60 clubs through-
out the country met during the year and alumnae
contributions to the Agnes Scott Fund amounted to almost
$600,000. The Alumnae Associaiton hosted entering
freshmen with a pizza supper in the Alumnae House in
September; and the Alumnae Council, composed of
the Association's volunteers, lunched with the Board of
Trustees and faculty in October and enjoyed an infor-
mal hour of conversation on college affairs. Continuing
education courses were sponsored by the Association
during the year on such subjects as the November elec-
tions, the Middle East crisis, and the work of artist
Andrew Wyeth. A busload of alumnae enjoyed a Decem-
ber trip to Williamsburg, Virginia.

At Founder's Day in February, the president of the
Alumnae Association was invited to join the Chairman
of the Board of Trustees in marching in the convocation
procession, and all local alumnae were again invited
back to the campus for the day. In order to enhance
communications between two significant College groups,
the Executive Board of the Alumnae Association estab-
lished this year the Student-Alumnae Liaison Commit-
tee. In April some 700 alumnae returned for Alumnae
Weekend, enjoying this year the climactic events of

the Renaissance Festival. I cannot overstate the import-
ant role our alumnae play in the progress and strength
of Agnes Scott. I am deeply grateful, and I am increas-
ingly mindful of their great contributions not only to
Agnes Scott but to their own communities everywhere.

As with all colleges, fiscal affairs present an increas-
ingly burdensome challenge. I am glad to be able to
report once more that, thanks to Vice President for
Business Affairs Lee Barclay and his staff, we ended the
fiscal year with a modest surplus. This balanced budget
could not have been attained without the careful
management of all the College offices. It is particularly
frustrating to try to live within budgets when there are
almost always more things to be done than there are
dollars for doing them. We have projected a balanced
budget for 1981-82, but there is little question that each
succeeding year will call for more careful management
and more stringent economies if Agnes Scott is to con-
tinue on a sound financial basis. Next year's operat-
ing budget is over 7 million dollars, and includes salary
increases for all employees, increased allotments to
such essentials as our library, financial aid for students,
and general academic development. The stepped-up
activity of the Office of Development, in connection
with the 3 million dollar campaign for the science hall
renovation, will necessitate increases in the Development
budget. As the accompanying tables show, 1980-81
was a good year in fund-raising, but there can be no
let-up in each year ahead if we are to keep pace with
plans for a future of strength and excellence.

Once again it was necessary to increase tuition
and fees for 1981-82; tuition will be $4,300, room and
board $1,700, while the student activities fee remains
at $75. This $6,075 total still leaves Agnes Scott's
total cost far below those of our strong sister institu-
tions. For example, the Eastern women's colleges will
be charging approximately $9,000 in the coming year,
while those in the middle-Atlantic states will be at about
$8,000. There is no quesiton that substantial increases
will again be levied for 1982-83. We hear much these
days of the increasing cost of higher education, but
despite these dramatic increases over the past decade,
the rate of increase has lagged far behind other eco-
nomic increases in our society. It is estimated, for ex-
ample, that annual tuition at private colleges has risen
on the average of 78% during the period 1971-1981
while monthly home mortgage payments for the same
period rose 399%, fuel oil bills increased on the average
of 397%, yearly medical bills rose some 161%, and
weekly food bills for a family of four increased by some
128%. On the whole, increases in the cost of private
higher education have been moderate by comparison.

As in the past, Agnes Scott received in the 1980-81
fiscal year the financial support not only of alumnae but
also of a host of other friends individuals, corpora-
tions, foundations support which has enabled us to main-
tain our strong academic programs, increase salaries
and benefits for all employees, and continue our program
of plant improvement. We do not take this support
for granted, and we are profoundly grateful. The accom-

Fall 1981

panying table indicates the sources of these gifts and
the uses to which they were allocated in 1980-81. We
have again tried to send our personal thanks to every
donor. Every year, in addition, a number of gifts and
grants call for special acknowledgment in this report,
and I am glad to record them here. From two anony-
mous foundations we have received generous grants of
$100,000 and $25,000. the first to aid in the renova-
tion of the science hall, the second for scholarships.
From the estate of the late Mary Wallace Kirk '11. we
received this past year for the Kirk Endowment more
than $107,000. The National Endowment for the Hu-
manities contributed $100,000 toward fulfillment of its
total challenge gift of $250,000. With a bequest of
$50,000 from the estate of the late Mary Louise
Fowler '29, the Mary Louise Fowler Scholarship was
established. The David. Helen, and Marian Woodward
Fund contributed $25,000 toward matching the NEH
Challenge Fund. The generous gift of Swanna Henderson
Cameron '43 (Mrs. Daniel D.), in excess of $16,000,
was also applied to matching the NEH Challenge Grant.
From the Vasser Woolley Foundation came $12,000
toward the renovation of the science building. Ruth Thomas
Stemmons '28 (Mrs. John M.) gave some $11,200
toward matching the NEH Challenge Grant. For the same
project Betty Fountain Edwards Gray '35 (Mrs. Steven
W.) gave $10,300. From the estate of Martha Eskridge
Ayers '33 (Mrs. Nathan McNeill), we received $10,000
to be added to the J. Spencer Love Scholarship Fund
which Mrs. Ayers had established in memory of her
first husband, the late Mr. Love. The Mary Allen Lind-
sey Branan Foundation made a grant of $10,000 to
aid us in meeting the NEH Challenge Grant. The
Goldie Ham Hanson Scholarship Fund was established
with a $10,000 bequest from the estate of the late Dr.
Goldie Suttle Ham '19.

For almost a century one of Agnes Scott's great-
est strengths as been the high caliber and devoted serv-
ice of its faculty and staff. As active teachers and
administrators they contributed immeasurably to the great-
ness of the College, and their concern and support
did not cease with their retirement. The College suffered
three grievous losses this past year with the deaths of
three great human beings and servants of the College:
Henry A. Robinson, Professor Emeritus of Mathemat-
ics, on January 7, 1981; Carrie Scandrett '24, Dean of
Students Emeritus, on June 8; and M. Kathryn Glick,
Professor Emeritus of Classical Languages and Literatures.
on July 13.

Professor Robinson, known affectionately as "Dr.
Rob," was a teacher for 48 years and a selfless
friend of students and colleagues. His love for mathe-
matics was infectious, and he communicated over the
years not only his sense of the use and power of math-
ematics but also the delight he took in its beauty and
symmetry. His memory for the names of his former
students was phenomenal, and he continued to wel-
come them back to campus and to keep up with their
lives and families. In 1977, the flagpole in the Main
quadrangle was dedicated in his honor.

Carrie Scandrett served Agns Scott for 44 years,

24

31 of those as Dean of Students from 1938 to 1969.
Few officers of the College have had as long and as
significant an influence upon the institution and its stud-
ents. Dean Scandrett will always rank high among the
great women who have served Agnes Scott. Her life and
character will continue to remind us of the strength,
vitality, and devotion she brought to the deanship.

M. Kathryn Glick joined the Agnes Scott faculty
in 1938 as Assistant Professor of Classical Languages
and Literatures. Promoted to professor and chairman
of the department in 1945, she taught Latin and Greek
here for 29 years until her retirement in June of
1974. The respect in which she was held by her faculty
colleagues was evidenced by her election to the presidential
search committee at the time of President Alston's
retirement and her subsequent role as representative of
the faculty on the occasion of my inauguration. Always
an advocate and exemplar of high academic standards,
she was a faculty stalwart throughout her career and a
teacher whose major students were among Agnes Scott's
outstanding graduates.

On a happier note. I want to express here my very
special appreciation to an associate of these past eight
years who has been chiefly responsible for the smooth,
efficient, and always courteous operation of the President's
Office: Miss Mary Alverta Bond '53, my Administrative
Assistant. Known admiringly to thousands of Agnes
Scott alumnae, faculty, and students as "Bertie" Bond,
she has administered, with unfailing patience, tact,
and consummate diplomacy, the day-to-day operations of
the office while keeping me on schedule and saving
me daily from potential minor crises. 1 acknowledge
with gratitude my debt to her and to my most capable
and never ruffled secretary. Mrs. Betty Stell.

Agnes Scott Alumnae Quarterly

KEEPING FAITH

By the time you receive this issue of the Quarterly, you
will have no doubt learned of my decison to retire
from the presidency of Agnes Scott College no later
than June 30, 1982. In the summer Quarterly was
published a letter I released to the campus community in
mid- August. The decision reached by Mrs. Perry and
me was not a hasty one, nor was it a decision reached
without mingled feelings of sadness and pleasant anti-
cipation. It is too early for "swan songs," and they are
really not my forte. I can assure the Agnes Scott
family, however, that I have no intention in my final
year of being a "lame-duck" president. The 1981-82
session will be another tremendously busy one, with a
number of urgent undertakings which are vital to the
continued strength of the College.

First, I urge our alumnae and friends, as well as
faculty, students, and staff, to support our efforts to
raise the required funds to complete the renovation of
the science building. Our need for this renovation and
our plans for carrying it out are the subject of the
first section of this report. It is our top priority for the
year in terms of physical plant improvements. When
the science hall project is completed, we must proceed
at once to plan and build a new physical education
center, adapting, if feasible, the present gymnasium to a

campus center which will be headquarters for student
offices and recreational facilities as well as the offices of
the Dean of Students and the areas of student life for
which she is responsible: Student Financial Aid, Honor
Court and student government offices. Career Planning,
and Student Health. As we carry out these much needed
improvements to Agnes Scott's physical plant, we
will not neglect our continuing commitments to streng-
then our endowment and to insure adequate operating
funds for maintaining a strong faculty, a sound curric-
ulum, and efficient, safe, and attractive facilities for
teaching, studying, and student living.

I am convinced that the needs summarized above
are absolutely essential to the well-being of the College,
now and in the future, and, equally important, that
they are consistent with our long-range institutional pur-
poses. They will enable us to discharge even more
effectively our obligation to see that Agnes Scott's stud-
ents are offered an educational experience combining
an enlightened adherence to the best of our traditional
programs and values with an increased ability to under-
take responsible experiment and innovation. Such improve-
ment will not weaken but rather strengthen our
commitments to high academic standards and to human
values and individual development in a Christian con-
text. Together, now, let's geton with the job!

Barrow-Gwinnett-
Newton

MEMBERS OF THE BGN alumnae
group presented speaker Julia Gary,
Dean of the College, with a check for
$150 as a gift to the College September
19, when she spoke to them at Law-
renceville Female Seminary. President
Julia Kennedy '60 presided and said after-
wards, "We enjoyed hearing Dean
Gary's talk very much. She told us
about the proposed renovation of

new Agnes Scott president, and the
symposia and other special events focusing
on women this year." Serving with
Julia are Mary Anna Ogden Bryan '51,
vice president; Mary Everlyn Garner
Davis '39, secretary; and Barbara John-
son Wilson '72, treasurer.

Decatur

WITH HIS characteristic enthusiasm
President Marvin B. Perrry, Jr., gave
the Decatur Club a survey of Agnes
Scott's exciting months ahead when he
spoke at the group's annual fall luncheon
September 24 at Druid Hills Golf Club.
He told of the varied, rich assortment of
speakers, discussions, and cultural offer-
ings scheduled and invited his listeners
to attend the campus events. Roses from
several alumnae gardens graced the
tables, and more than seventy Agnes
Scotters and guests were present to
enjoy them. Club President Mary
McConkey Reimer '46 presided. New
officers serving with her include Rudene
Taffer Young '34, first vice president;
Betty Sams Daniel '39, second vice

president; Hazel Huff Monaghan '26,
secretary; Eula Turner Kuchler '37,
treasurer; Dot Travis Joyner '41 , publicity
chairman; and Sarah Fulton '21 continuing
her important work as telephone chair-
man. Special recognition was given
Mrs. Perry as an honor guest and Mrs.
Paul McCain and Mrs. Lee Barclay as
affiliate members. The club ended its
spring programs in Winship Living
Room May 28 with a provocative
discussion by Dr. Steve Haworth, assis-
tant professor of political science, on
"Third World War? On the Thickness
of Blood and Oil."

Evening

(Metropolitan Atlanta)

DR. MICHAEL BROWN, professor of LaGrangG

history, gave the Evening Club an "

illuminating condensed history of the

conflict between England and Ireland

when the group met at the Alumnae

House September 28. Tracing events

from the Norman conquest on. he

discussed the religious and geographic

root causes of the troubles, commenting

that it was a "sad assignment for an
Englishman." His listeners asked many
questions. Dr. Brown said he had no
solution to offer but felt that if the
economic problems of North Ireland
could be tackled, "the rest might fade."
The final spring speaker for the club
May 18 was Mildred Love Petty '61.
who was assistant dean of the College
before her resignation this year. Dean
Petty gave an interesting account of her
years at the College as student, pro-
fessor, and assistant dean. "Susie"
Marshall Faulkner '70 is club president;
Elizabeth Ansley Allan '57, vice presi-
dent; Wendy Whelchel '74. secretary;

McAliley Steele) and 1978 (Susan Mc-
Cullough DeKoch. club president) and
many in between! Alums brought year-
books and mementos of Agnes Scott.
"There was lots of talk about 'when we
were at Scott' , and a great time was had
by all," wrote Susan.

ANN GOOLSBY PUND '52 was hostess
to a group of Agnes Scotters and their
families and friends at an afternoon
dessert party May 3 at her home in La
Jolla. Dr. and Mrs. Harry Wistrand
were special guests and shared news of
the College with their interested listen-
ers. The science professor told of the
student desert biology trip in the sum-
mer of 1980 and answered questions
from the group. After the visit Penny
Wistrand wrote the Alumnae Office
how much they had enjoyed visiting
everyone at the Pund home "what
beautiful hosts they were!"

A GOOD TURNOUT of alums in the
Spartanburg area enjoyed morning cof-
fee August 20 at the home of Betsy
Bean Burrell '74 and had such a
delightful time together that they decided
to meet again soon, planning to help the
College with its outreach to new stu-
dents. Lynne Webb Heatly '74 and
Betsy have agreed to serve as co-
presidents. Lynne reported that they
were very "pleased with the turnout and
the response. We had many different
classes represented by alumnae of all
ages, and they were enthusiastic about
getting together once or twice every
year." So a hearty welcome to our new
group!

Jeanne Smith Harley '52, Ann Sims Dennis '60, Lynne Webb Heath '74, and Betty
Harkey Hilburn '68 with daughter Millicent attended Spartanburg meeting.

Boog Smith Henderson '61, Christine Knight Lyles '73, Jeanne Harley, Cathy Hart Rainey
'64, and Betty Gesner Dalhouse '48 also enjoyed Spartanburg meeting.

p.m.

Thursday, June 17 Arrival at Frankfurt
International Airport at 11:00 a.m. After
brief customs formalities, we will board a
modern motor-coach and travel on the
Autobahn to nearby Marburg. Accommo-
dations will be at Hotel Berggarten or
Fasanerie.

Friday, June 18 After breakfast we will,
if at all possible, have a reception by city
representatives in the old Rathaus. We will
take a walking tour of this old university
town which is also the headquarters of the
Agnes Scott Summer Study Programs in
Germany. We will lunch at the Dammiihle,
an old watermill which now serves as an
idyllic restaurant. In the afternoon we will
travel 80 miles east to the Iron Curtain
between West and East Germany. We will
see the mine fields, barbed wire, and watch
towers. The night will be spent in historic
Bad Hersfeld, a spa and a center for theater
and music festivals.

Saturday, June 19 In the morning we
will travel on the Autobahn to Bavaria. We
will see Wiirzburg and drive along the
"Romantic Road" to Ochsenfurt and Roth-
enburg, Germany's most famous medieval
town. We will have lunch at "Romantic
Hotel Markusturm." Following this we
will take a guided tour of the town, ending
with a Kaffeeklatsch at the Baumeisterhaus .
Early in the evening we will motor on to
Dinkelsbuhl, where we will be accom-
modated in three smaller inns, since there
is no large hotel in Dinkelsbuhl.

Sunday, June 20 We will take a
guided tour of Dinkelsbuhl and also have
time to explore on our own the historic
structures built before the Thirty Years
War.

June 16-July 3, 1982

Monday, June 21 After lunch we will
continue our trip along the "Romantic
Road" to Munich. There are no official
plans for the remainder of the day, but you
may choose to go on a shopping spree in
the colorful "pedestrian zone" in the heart
of the city. If you wish you may spend
the evening at the Hofbrduhaus or another
famous beer garden.

Tuesday, June 22 We will take a
guided tour of Munich's well-known Nym-
phenburg Castle, we will see the Olympic
stadium of 1972, the Frauenkirche, and
the artist district of Schwabing. In the after-
noon you may wish to visit one of the fam-
ous art museums Alte or Neue Pinakothek,
or the Deutsche s Museum, one of the
world's most amazing museums of tech-
nology. In the evening you have an oppor-
tunity to visit one of Munich's 25 live
theaters or to stroll through the famous
Englischer Garten.

Wednesday-Friday, June 23,24,25 Af-
ter a late breakfast we will head for the
Alps. We will make our headquarters for
the next three days in Schwangau in Hotel
Lisl, a former castle. We may begin our
sightseeing with a horse-and-buggy trip to
the world-famous Neuschwanstein Castle,
after which Disney modeled his Sleeping
Beauty Castle. From here we will branch
out during the next two days to see the
breathtakingly beautiful baroque church
Wieskirche, Linderhof Castle, the Zugspitze,
Germany's highest mountain, and Oberam-
mergau, the home of the Passion Plays. We
will cross over into Austrian Tyrol to see
Innsbruck and the awe-inspiring Tyrolean
Alps. One evening we hope to see a per-
formance of Bavarian folk dancers.

Saturday, June 26 In the morning we
will continue our trip, going to Lindau on
Lake Constance, which divides Germany
and Switzerland. We will have lunch in
Wasserburg. Our quarters will be Hotel
Lowe in Langenargen on the lake or a
floating boat hotel.

Sunday, June 27 Sightseeing at Lake
Constance, field trip to the "tropical is-

land" of Mainau and to the city of Meers-
burg.

Monday, June 28 Today we are leaving
scenic Lake Constance, but only to cross
over into Switzerland where we will see the
spectacular Rhine River Falls of Schaff-
hausen. After this side trip we are re-
turning to Germany and will pitch our
tents in the legendary Black Forest. Our
hotel will be Adler-Post in Neustadt on
Lake Titi.

Tuesday, June 29 Here in the most
picturesque area of the Black Forest we will
rely more on our hiking boots than on our
bus. We can admire breathtaking scenery
and gemialiche farm houses, cuckoo clocks,
and colorful folk costumes.

Wednesday, June 30 Our coach will
take us along the "Black Forest Valley
Road" to Freudenstadt (lunch) and then
along the "Black Forest Ridge Road" to
Baden-Baden, famous spa of the elite. Our
destination tonight is another castle hotel.
Heinsheim in Bad Rappenau near Heil-
bronn.

Thursday, July 1 After exploring Bad
Rappenau and the serene Neckar River
Valley, we are planning an excursion to
Heidelberg, the setting of The Student
Prince.

Friday, July 2 Saying AufWiedersehen
to Bad Rappenau, we will motor on to
Riidesheim on the Rhine. There we will
eat lunch and then board a sightseeing
steamer which will take us down the his-
toric river past castle-studded hills, vine-
yards, and the legendary Lorelei rock to St.
Goarshausen. Our last night in Germany
will once more be spent in a castle turned
hotel. Burg Rheinfels. After a wine-tasting
party we will sleep in this medieval for-
tress that overlooks the majestic river.

Saturday, July 3 After breakfast our
motor coach awaits us for a brief but scenic
trip along the Rhine to Frankfurt. We will

About the cover: A tree in front of
the Gymnasium glistens with ice during
the "Great Freeze" of January 12-15.
Ice and snow virtually immobilized the
Atlanta area, stranding many motorists
and forcing Agnes Scott to cancel classes
for an unheard of three days in a row.
It was only the third time in the history of
the College that classes had been can-
celled. Students took full advantage of the
unexpected vacation, trading their books
for dining hall trays to sled down the icy
slopes in front of the Infirmary.

Ferdinand Warren: 1899-1981

Ferdinand Warren was a quiet and
gentle man who spoke through his
paintings with great force and power.
Whatever he painted came out of his
own deep personal experiences. His
canvases might be explosions of color
reflecting a special joyous moment in
his life, like the painting of city lights at
night as he saw them from the high-rise
apartment of Christine and Dick Wood-
fin, or the somber and lonely monoprint
of a riderless horse that reflected his
own great sorrow over the assassination
of John F. Kennedy. Each oil painting
and watercolor, each print or drawing
was always marked indelibly by a
special sensitivity that reflected Ferdie's
own being. As an artist he earned
national recognition and the great respect
of other artists as well as of the critics,
but he shunned the newsworthy notori-
ety sought by some of his fellow artists
for the more private and gentle state-
ment that reflected his own being.

When he was still a young boy in
Independence, Missouri, he decided to
become an artist. His first formal
training was at the Kansas City Art
Institute before the outbreak of the First
World War. During the war he served in
the Navy, and when he returned to
Kansas City he went to work as a staff

By Dr. Marie Huper Pepe

artist for the Kansas City Star, one of the
last great newspapers to use the draw-
ings of artists rather than photographs
for their news stories.

In 1925 he won a coveted Tiffany
fellowship and went to New York where
he studied first at the Grand Central
School of Art and then at the Art
Students League. In 1934 he received
national recognition when he was
awarded the Hallgarten Prize by the
National Academy of Art. The follow-
ing year he was invited to show in the
Carnegie Exhibit in Pittsburg. His first
one-man show was in 1935 in the Milch
Gallery in New York, and in 1946 his
painting, "The Harbor," was purchased
by the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
Subsequently his work was acquired by
many other major museums, and he was
the recipient of numerous awards. In
1971 he was invited by the National
Aeronautic and Space Administration to
record in painting the launching of
Apollo 14. That painting is now in the
National Gallery in Washington. In
Georgia Mr. Warren's paintings are
represented in the permanent collections
of the University of Georgia Fine Arts
Museum, Agnes Scott College, the
Atlanta Art Association, the Telfair
Academy of Art in Savannah, and the

Columbus Museum of Art, as well as in
numerous private collections.

Mr. Warren came to Georgia in
1950 at the invitation of Lamar Dodd as
Artist-in-Residence at the University of
Georgia, and he became chairman of the
Agnes Scott College Department of Art
in 1951 where he served until his
retirement in 1969. During his tenure at
Agnes Scott he was commissioned by
the College to paint a portrait of Robert
Frost during one of the poet's annual
visits to the College. That painting now
hangs in the McCain Library. His
impact on the Georgia art scene was a
major one. He formed the Agnes Scott
College art department as it is today,
and he was the vital force behind the
construction of the Charles A. Dana
Fine Arts Building. In 1979 Governor
George Busbee recognized his contribu-
tion to art in Georgia by naming him the
recipient of the Governor's Award in
Art. Mr. Warren's contribution to Amer-
ican art, and especially to the art of this
region, was very great. But with all his
official recognition, perhaps his most
lasting tribute is the impact he had on so
many Agnes Scott students who became
artists in their own right or who are
lovers of art and supporters of art in
their communities.

Tuesday, December 1. for a workshop

volunteered to help solicit funds in the
Greater Atlanta Area General Campaign
headed by Dorothy Holloran Addison.
This drive is one segment of the overall
Science Building Campaign which began
this fall with the following statement by-
President Marvin B. Perry. Jr.. and
Chairman of the Board L. L. Geller-
stedt, Jr.:

AGNES SCOTT WOMEN WANT
CAREERS IN SCIENCE

Forty percent of our incoming freshmen
in 1980-81 indicated great interest in
careers in science and technology. Ameri-
ca needs these women. To meet this
ever-increasing need and to ensure that
our science programs remain strong.
current, and challenging, a major over-
haul of the Agnes Scott Science Hall is
imperative.

The science hall, constructed in
1951. was excellent for its day. How-
ever, during the last three decades, the
science disciplines have changed drasti-
cally. The cost of renovations and
equipment in this 60,000 square foot
building is expected to be at least
$3,000,000. less than half of the cost
of a new structure of comparable size.

For almost a century. Agnes Scott
College, one of the four institutions in
Georgia with a Phi Beta Kappa chapter,
has attracted outstanding young women
who are seeking a superior education.
These women come largely from the top
ten percent of their high school classes.
They score significantly above the wom-
en's national average on the Scholastic
Aptitude Test.

Agnes Scott has an established
record of excellence in the teaching of

science. As early as 1912, separate
departments of biology, chemistry, and
physics offered comprehensive programs
taught by a group of prominent profes-
sors. With your generous help, we will
continue to produce leaders who will
contribute to the growth of the Southeast
as a center of science and technology.

ADVANCES IN SCIENCES
DEMAND ADVANCED
FACILITIES

Advances in the natural sciences and
scientific research techniques accompa-
nied by new safety regulations have led
colleges and universities across the
country to construct new science build-
ings and renovate existing ones. No
longer is chemistry a set of test tubes in
a "wet" lab, but "dry" spaces with

computerized instruments that identify,
analyze, and measure. Biology now
uses both wet and dry laboratories. In all
the natural sciences, new techniques and
new substances require new facilities to
ensure the safety of students and faculty.

If Agnes Scott is to continue to
attract science students and to maintain
the high quality of instruction needed to
educate future scientists, the College
must accommodate these advances in
the sciences. To meet the changing
needs of science instruction and the
accompanying safety standards, we must
renovate our science hall, which houses
the departments of biology, chemistry,
and physics.

Completed in 1951, the science hall
incorporated the most up-to-date facili-
ties appropriate for natural science teach-
ing and research in a liberal arts college.
Now, three decades later, we want to
continue to provide up-to-date facilities.

RENOVATION WILL COST
THREE MILLION DOLLARS

It will cost $3,000,000 to renovate
Agnes Scott's Science Hall, about forty
percent of the cost of a new building
comparably equipped. Seventy-five to
eighty percent of this cost is for mechan-
ical and electrical modernization neces-
sary to permit techniques which were
not even known when the science hall
was constructed thirty years ago. The
building has never been air-conditioned.
It is now required to maintain proper
levels of temperature and humidity for
modern scientific instruments.

New Facilities

New facilities in the science hall will
include: a field laboratory for ecology,
plant taxonomy, and desert biology; a
biochemical laboratory which will house
an isotope hood, equipment for radia-
tion detection, and a scintillation counter:
and a new chemical instrumentation
laboratory which will house most of the
chemistry department instruments which
need controlled temperature and humid-
ity conditions.

Expanded Facilities

Facilities to be expanded and equipped
with new instruments include: labora-
tories for cell physiology, cell biology,
and inorganic chemistry; expanded and
updated computer facilities; electrical
and water service for the physics depart-
ment which must be updated for new
equipment recently acquired through a
National Science Foundation grant; new
storage areas for chemicals and new
ventilation systems for the laboratories
(some substances routinely used in
science laboratories and, until recently,
thought harmless, are now known to be
hazardous to human health if not prop-
erly stored or handled in well-ventilated

Winter 1982

5a

laboratories); new wiring and an emer-
gency power system. (These are needed
throughout the building because of the
increased number of electrical instru-
ments used in the natural sciences and to
ensure that no fluctuations in current
occur. Such power fluctuations can
badly damage today's scientific instru-
ments.)

THE SOUTHEAST NEEDS
SCIENTISTS

Today, institutions such as Agnes
Scott which attract the best minds and
talents among the nation's young
women are particularly needed in Geor-
gia and the Southeast. This region is the
nation's most promising section. At this
time, the scientific and business com-
munities need outstanding women. More
than ever before in history, women have
the opportunity to develop their full
potential and to contribute to the eco-
nomic and cultural growth of the South-
east. Since 1976. Agnes Scott students
have had the opportunity to be summer
interns in local businesses and banking
institutions. Follow-up reports by employ-
ers indicate that these students are
exceptionally well prepared for careers
in business and management.

As Agnes Scott approaches its cen-
tennial in 1989, we want to continue to
contribute to the Southeast's develop-
ment by planning relevant programs for
today's and tomorrow's women. A vital
contribution we must make is the
education of future scientists. The records
of our alumnae, including science grad-
uates, convince us that our single-sex
status and our liberal arts program,
imaginatively adapted to the changing
needs of women, are assets which are
valuable in the higher education of
women.

AGNES SCOTT PREPARES
FUTURE SCIENTISTS

A History of Success

Agnes Scott is fully capable of contrib-
uting to the Southeast's growth as an
important source of future scientists.
Almost from its founding the College
has maintained strong programs and
resources in the natural sciences.

Agnes Scott Alumnae Quarterly

Highly individualized instruction,
coupled with modern equipment and
facilities, has produced at Agnes Scott a
long line of undergraduate majors in the
natural sciences. Many of these alumnae
have gone on to earn distinction in
graduate schools and then in careers in
scientific research and teaching, in the
medical professions, and industry. They
include, among others, M. Virginia
Tuggle, immediate past president of the
Georgia Composite State Board of Med-
ical Examiners; Willie White Smith,
widely published research physiologist
with the National Institutes of Health;
Evangeline Papageorge, retired associ-
ate dean, Emory University School of
Medicine; Betty Fountain Edwards,
emeritus professor of anatomy, Emory
University; Mary Beth Thomas, profes-
sor of biology. University of North
Carolina, Charlotte; Page Smith Mor-
ahan, associate professor and research
microbiologist, Medical College of Vir-
ginia; Mary Elizabeth Arant, chemical
engineer with Exxon; Betty Shannon,
chemist with Dupont; Nina Marble,
research chemist with the U.S. Depart-
ment of Agriculture; and Pamela West-
moreland Sholar, resident physician at
Johns Hopkins University School of
Medicine.

Other Agnes Scott science graduates
pursue careers as psychiatrists, general
practitioners, pediatricians, gynecolog-
ists and obstetricians, pharmacists, high
school physics teachers, environmental
specialists, college botany and zoology
teachers, and research chemists with
governmental and industrial organiza-
tions including the Center for Disease
Control, The Coca-Cola Company, and
Tennessee Eastman, among others.

Looking at the recent graduates, all
of the science majors in the class of
1978, 1979, and 1980 who wanted to
pursue careers in science were success-
ful in finding jobs or being accepted for
graduate study in their chosen fields.

The high percentage of Agnes Scott
students interested in science is not
unusual for a women's college. Nation-
ally, the percentage of women majoring
in mathematics, chemistry, and biology
at women's colleges is two to three
times the average for women at coedu-
cational institutions. In addition, women
who earn Ph.D.'s in sciences are more
likely to have earned bachelor's degrees
from women's colleges than from coed-
ucational institutions.

Continuing Concern
For Excellence

Today, besides a well-educated faculty
with diverse interests, the College pro-
vides added stimulus for science stu-
dents by bringing to the campus some of
the finest minds in science. Guest
science lecturers have included among
others, the Nobel Prize winning neuro-
physiologist Sir John C. Eccles, envi-
ronmental scientist Barry Commoner,
award-winning ecologist Eugene P.
Odum, Harvard University paleontolo-
gist Stephen Jay Gould, University of
California astonomer and physicist Vir-
ginia Trimble, Stanford University chem-
ist Carl Djerassi, and Cornell University
geneticist Bruce Wallace.

Agnes Scott's continuing concern
for excellence in the natural sciences has
resulted in periodic improvements to our
science facilities and the acquisition of
new and more sophisticated equipment.
One such improvement was the building
of Bradley Observatory, which houses
the largest telescope on a college cam-
pus in the Southeast. Other improve-
ments for maintaining quality science
programs have earned the Department
of Chemistry's curriculum the continu-
ous approval of the American Chemical
Society for the past 25 years.

AGNES SCOTT STUDENTS
DESERVE THE BEST

Agnes Scott is one of only four institu-
tions of learning in Georgia with an
academic program recognized by Phi
Beta Kappa. It attracts students in the
upper ten percent of their high school
classes. It offers to these students an
exceptional education which prepares
them for a lifetime of service in the
community. The updated science facili-
ties will allow the college to continue to
offer science students the extensive
"hands on" experience with scientific
instruments which distinguishes its sci-
ence program from those of most other
institutions.

The renovation of the science hall at
Agnes Scott is scheduled to begin in late
spring of 1982. The College has in-
augurated a campaign to raise the
$3,000,000 needed in gifts and pledges.
We need the support of every alumna in
this campaign for a modern teaching

facility for future scientists. Agnes Scott
and its science program contribute beyond
measure to the quality of life we have
today and will have tomorrow.

All gifts to Agnes Scott are fully tax
deductible for individuals and corpora-
tions and are approved for foundations.
Pledges are payable over three years or
four tax years. For further information,

Update

According to the Agnes Scott archives,
the institution was only twelve years
old, and still only offering work at the
high school level, when it added its first
course in psychology. For the academic
session of 1891, under the rubric of a
"School of Moral Sciences," a course
simply titled "Psychology," with a

Rev. James Murray.

This is all the more remarkable
because psychology only traces its roots

lishment of a laboratory at the Univer-

earlier, and the first professorship in

(as at most other American colleges and
universities) for the next roughly sixty
years. It was not until the 1926-27
academic session that a major was
offered, and not until more than a
quarter century later, in the 1954-55
session, that the discipline became a
department to itself.

In the process, the number of faculty
members has grown from one part-time
to four full-time, and the number of
course offerings from one to twenty.
Within the past four years, the number of
seniors majoring in psychology has
ranked from first to fourth among the
twenty-nine majors offered by the Col-
lege.

While the department's emphasis
continues to be placed on a solid
preparation in the scientific study of
human and animal behavior, both for
those who wish to move on to graduate
training and those who wish to seek
employment in fields related to psy-
chology, its primary emphasis, like the
College's as a whole, is on making all
its course offerings to be liberal studies,
designed to teach concepts as well as
facts, to provide theoretical framework
as well as to present both classic and
contemporary research findings.

Even in the beginning psychology
course, some classes supplement their
classroom experience with group research.
Majors enrolled in the required junior
year sequence of statistics and experi-
mental design, followed by two quarters
of experimental psychology (covering
topics such as perception, learning,
etc.), regularly perform both class and
individual research projects in the win-
ter and spring quarters.

One of the recent trends which has
found increasing favor among students
has been the expansion of student
experience into the laboratory of the
Atlanta community. The two develop-
mental psychology courses, child and
adolescent, require students to make
contact with children and youth of the

appropriate ages in a tutorial or other
capacity and to keep a journal of their
experiences.

The abnormal psychology course
entails a minimum of two hours per
week of "field experience," involving
placement in facilities as the two area
public neuropsychiatric hospitals, retar-
dation centers, public and private schools
for the emotionally disturbed or learning
disabled, and the like. Beginning this
year, the "practicum" course offered to
senior majors in the spring quarter

extends their commitment to eight to
twelve hours of such clinical experience
per week, supplemented by an extensive
reading program, weekly seminar, and
tutorial session.

A survey of the courses offered by
the department in the past ninety years
shows that, in addition to the introduc-
tory course, the traditional subdisci-

very popular offerings in topics such as
grief and death, humanistic psychology,
and the quality of life were added to the
curriculum. For the 1982-83 academic
session there have already been approved
new courses in the psychology of
women and in the psychology of eco-
nomic behavior. Thus the department
has attempted to add to the solid core of
scientific psychology a number of
courses reflecting topics of current
interest within the field.

As in other departments of the
College, the departments offerings may
be climaxed, by students of exceptional
ability, with an independent study pro-
ject. Papers based on these researches
have been presented at a number of state
and regional gatherings of psychologists
within the past several years.

Maintaining its traditionally popular
position among students and at the same
time offering to students materials on
the cutting edge of the discipline demands
that the faculty members of the depart-
ment maintain their own lively growth
through reading, research, and atten-
dance at scholarly meetings, as well as
by participation in professional affairs.

Dr. Miriam Drucker. senior member
of the department and a Dana Professor,
last year conducted three workshops in
the Atlanta area on the theme of death
and dying, and she has for the past two
summers attended the Vermont Confer-
ence for the Primary Prevention of
Psychopathology. On the campus, she
works closely with the Return to Col-
lege students in a weekly open discus-
sion group, and she has recently served
as director of continuing education for
the lay leaders of the Holy Trinity
Episcopal Church.

Dr. Lee Copple. currently chairman
of the department, last year attended a
National Science Foundation seminar on
"Genetic and Environmental Determi-
nants of Behavior" at the University of
Georgia, and at the second session of
the seminar he read a paper based on
research in "Sibling Influence on Col-
lege Decisions." This research, in which

Dr. Copple was joined by Margaret
Hodges '81, was also presented at a
meeting of the Alliance of Family
Therapy and Family Research at Florida
State Unversity in April of last year. Dr.
Copple was a panelist speaking on
current trends in the teaching of intro-
ductory psychology at the Association
of Heads of Departments of Psychology
of the Southeastern Psychological Asso-
ciation meeting in Atlanta in December.

Dr. Thomas Hogan, who is on
sabbatical leave for the 1981-82 aca-
demic year, is engaged in two writing
projects. One is the completion of an
essay on economic factors that underlie
economic behavior, while a second is
the completion of a book on representa-
tional psychology. These research inter-
ests have concerned Dr. Hogan for a
number of years, and the first will be the
basis, in part, for the course in the
psychology of economic behavior which
he will offer for the first time in the
spring of 1983.

During Tom Hogan 's absence this
year, Assistant Dean of the College
Elizabeth Moye, whose work for the
doctorate is in developmental psycholo-
gy, is teaching two introductory
courses.

Dr. Ayse Carden, newest full-time
member of the department and a '66
ASC alumna, is continuing cross-cultural
research in the nature of children's play
begun while she was in the Department
of Education of Bogazici University in
her native Istanbul, as well as launching
a newer research interest in women's
education. During the past year, she has
read papers based on this latter topic at
Georgia State University and the Uni-
versity of Georgia. She is slated to
report part of the findings from her
cross-cultural research, performed joint-
ly with Eli M. Bower of the University
of California at Berkeley and Kathryn
Noori of New Zealand, at a meeting of
the Orthopsychiatry Association in San
Francisco in late March of 1982. As
chairperson of the College's ad hoc

she has written reports of this year's
"Women and Mindpower" symposia at
the College which have appeared in ASC

The Reverend Agnes Scotts

By Dr. Mary Boney Sheats

Agnes scott graduates are making their
contributions through the ordained min-
istry as well as in other fields formerly
considered to be the exclusive domains
of men. Since Institute days, alumnae of
Agnes Scott have become wives of
ministers, but during recent decades
they have themselves become ordained.

From Agnes Scott they have gone to
seminaries in six states, and have been
ordained by Disciples of Christ, Episco-
pal. Methodist, and Presbyterian denom-
inations.

A pioneer woman preacher in the
Methodist Church was Ruth Rogers
'26, who, after attending Agnes Scott,
went on to graduate from Georgia Tech
with honors, and to earn two more
degrees at the University of Georgia.
Her ministerial degree is from Candler
School of Theology at Emory Universi-
ty. Ruth was licensed to preach in
1949. and "came into full connec-
tion," which means ordination as an
elder, in 1959. At the time she started
out. the Methodist Church did not
encourage women ministers, and Ruth
was given assignments in small chur-
ches, having to teach in the public
schools to support herself. But Ruth
Rogers has received many awards, and
is listed in Who's Who in Methodism.
Although officially retired, she is a
doctoral candidate at Candler now and
works in the chaplaincy program at
Wesley Retirement Homes.

It was an Agnes Scott graduate who
was the first woman to be ordained in
the Presbyterian Church in the United
States (Southern). Rachel Henderlite
'28 was ordained by Hanover Presby-
tery in Virginia in 1965. Rachel received
her Ph.D. in Christian ethics at Yale in
1947, and has had a distinguished
career in Christian education, teaching
at Montreat College, the Presbyterian
School of Christian Education. Kinjo
College in Nagoya. Japan, and at Austin
Presbyterian Theological Seminary. She
directed the educational research and the
development of the Covenant Life Cur-

riculum for the Presbyterian Church.
U.S.. and has herself written exten-
sively in the fields of Bible and theol-
ogy. Elected to Phi Beta Kappa at Agnes
Scott, she holds honorary doctorates
from Queens College and Davidson
College, as well as Distinguished Serv-
ice Awards from Mary Baldwin Col-
lege, the Austin Seminary Association,
and from her own alma mater. Agnes
Scott. Rachel's dedication to ecumeni-
cal ventures led to her being the first
woman president of the Consultation of
Church Union in 1976, a body in which
she has served with faithfulness and
with flair.

The local parish ministry has en-
gaged most of Agnes Scott's ordained
alumnae.

Sally Veale Daniel '52 is pastor of
two United Methodist churches in Atlanta:
Aldersgate and Grant Park. Sally uses
the creative gifts and enthusiasm that
made her successful in her earlier
modeling and fashion career to make the
gospel relevant in these small churches.
She has given her parishoners access to
a psychotherapist and to special musical
training. Sally's Master of Divinity
degree is from Candler School of
Theology, 1979. She was ordained a
deacon in 1978, an elder (full connec-
tion) in 1980. She serves on the
Atlanta-Emory District Council on Min-
istries and the Board of Diaconal Minis-
tries. She was instrumental in preparing
a study document on "Human Sexuali-
ty" that will be presented for adoption
at the North Georgia Annual Conference
in 1982. Sally's husband is a lawyer,
and they have three children, including
Debbie Daniel-Bryant '79. Sally gave
the invocation at Debbie's graduation.

Mary Gay Morgan '75 has been
pastor of the Earlville (Illinois) United
Methodist Church since her graduation
from Garrett Evangelical Seminary in
1978. She was ordained as a deacon
shortly after going to Earlville and as an
elder in 1981. Mary Gay reports that
she has a very supportive congregation.

and she finds it rewarding to preach and
to visit in the homes of her flock. She is
continuing her education through con-
ferences and study seminars, and keeps
the Bible and religion department alert
to books and articles of special interest.

Lucy Rose '68 is the minister of the
John Calvin Presbyterian Church in
Salisbury. North Carolina. She was
graduated from Union Theological Sem-
inary in Virginia with a Doctor of
Ministry degree in 1975 and was
ordained by Fayetteville Presbytery in
North Carolina, where she served as
associate pastor of the First Presbyterian
Church in Sanford. Like her mother.
Anne Thompson Rose '38. Lucy grew
up on the campus of Union Theological
Seminar>' in Richmond where her father
was a professor.

Several ordained Agnes Scott grad-
uates are associate pastors. Jane F.
Brawley '76 has such a position at the
First United Presbyterian Church of
Troy, New York. She received her
Doctor of Ministry degree from Union
Seminary in Virginia in 1980, after
serving an intern year in West Virginia.
Before going to Troy, Jane spent a year
in clinical pastoral education at the
Medical College of Virginia in Rich-
mond.

Mary Crist Brown '77 is associate
pastor of the Riverside Presbyterian
Church in Jacksonville, Florida, with
particular responsibility for Christian
education and congregational nurture.
She graduated from Princeton Theologi-
cal Seminary with a Master of Divinity
degree in June of 1980. and was
ordained in Jacksonville that November,
with Lib McGregor Simmons '74 taking
part in the service.

Mary Jane Kerr Cornell '74 is
associate pastor of the Columbia Pres-
byterian Church in Decatur, across the
street from Columbia Theological Sem-
inary. After working at the Presbyterian
Center in Atlanta. Mary Jane moved to
Cambridge, Massachusetts, with her archi-
tect husband, Gary, so he could attend

graduate school at Harvard. After he
finished, the Cornells returned to Decatur
so Mary Jane could work on her Master
of Divinity degree at Columbia. When
she graduated in May 1981, she was
awarded four of the top honors in her
class. She was ordained and installed in
August 1981 at the Columbia Church
where her special responsibilities are in
worship, education, and outreach.

Lib McGregor Simmons '74 was
graduated from Columbia Theological
Seminary with distinction in 1979,
receiving a fellowship which she will
use for future study. She has gained
ecumenical experience through travel-
ing in Switzerland, Jamaica, and Aus-
tralia. Since 1979, Lib has been serving
as associate pastor of the Lakewood
Presbyterian Church of Jacksonville,
Florida, where she preaches at least
once a month and shares in all the other
duties of ministry. She is on the
coordinating council of Suwannee Pres-
bytery and serves on boards of directors
of the Pastoral Counseling Center and
the Women's Center for Reproductive
Health in Jacksonville. Lib and her
husband, Gary, are the proud parents of
Stewart McGregor ("Mac") who was
born in September 1981.

Pat Frederickson Stewart '53 is
assistant pastor and minister of Christian
education at the Chatham Township
Presbytrerian Church in Chatham, New
Jersey. She received her Master of
Divinity degree magna cum laude from
Drew University in Madison, New
Jersey, and was licensed and ordained
by Newton Presbytery. Pat and her
husband have two sons and two daugh-
ters.

The gifts of preaching, counseling, administering the
sacraments, and serving the people of God
are not limited to one sex.

Virginia Simmons Ellis '72

Virginia Simmons Ellis '72 has an
unusual ministerial responsibility. She
is interim-pastor-at-large for Westmin-
ster Presbytery in Florida, preaching at
churches that are in-between regular
ministers. Ginny received her M. Div.
with distinction from Columbia Semi-
nary in 1978. Her husband, Harry,
teaches physics at Eckerd College, and
they have two children. At the age of

seven weeks, daughter Rachel accom-
panied her mother to Columbia Semi-
nary in November 1981 for the Board
of Dirctors meeting. Both Ginny and her
mother, Edith ("Deedie") Merrin Sim-
mons '47, were elected to the board by
the Synod of Florida. In her presbytery
Ginny is on the bill and overtures
committee, the committee on women in
church and society, and is a member of

Anna is doing graduate study at Van-
derbilt on full fellowships. She hopes to
get her Ph.D. in theology in 1983. She
and Mike are both preaching at churches
in and around Nashville.

Ordained Agnes Scotters are en-
gaged in administrative work on several
levels of ecclesiastical hierarchy.

1969. She has taught at Southwestern at
Memphis, Savannah State, Emory, and
Georgia State. Her ordination took place
in August, 1980, at the Church of the
Covenant in Savannah, which is affili-
ated with the Christian Church as well
as the United Presbyterian Church,
U.S.A.

Some of the ordained graduates of
Agnes Scott are engaged in ministry that
is not directly within a local parish or
ecclesiastical organization.

Agnes Douglas Kuentzel '44 is a
hospital chaplain. Her divinity degree is
from Princeton Theological Seminary;
she holds one master's degree from the
Presbyterian School of Christian Edu-
cation and another in guidance counsel-
ing from the University of North Caro-
lina at Charlotte. After completing an
internship at Richmond Memorial Hos-
pital's chaplaincy program she was
ordained by Concord Presbytery in
1976, in a service at which Isabel
Rogers '45 preached the sermon.
Agnes's husband was the late Rev. Dr.
Walter Kuentzel, a Presbyterian minis-
ter and professor, and she is the mother
of three children.

Rachel Fowler Haynes '61 is in a
hospital chaplaincy program. She earned
her M. Div. from Emory's Candler
School of Theology in 1979, and was
ordained as a priest in the Episcopal
Church in 1980. Rachel served at St.
Luke's and St. Bartholomew's parishes

Rachel Fowler Haynes '61 was ordained

in the Diocese of Atlanta and is now a
resident in pastoral care at Emory
University Hospital. She and her hus-
band, Kempton, who is a Methodist
minister and clinical chaplain at the
Georgia Mental Health Institute, have
two sons.

Nancy Green Carmichael '43 spent
several years doing campus ministry
in the Holston Conference of the United
Methodist Church following her gradua-
tion from the Harvard Divinity School
in 1961. She had previously taught
chemistry at Emory Wesleyan College.
Ordained by the former Virginia Con-
ference of the United Methodist Church,
she has been on inactive status since
marrying and moving to Atlanta in
1966.

Mattie Elizabeth Hart '52 is now
Professor of Bible and Religion at
Flagler College in St. Augustine, Flor-
ida. After graduating from Agnes Scott,
she served as a teacher of missionaries'
children in Congo/Zaire and as an
evangelist in the mountains of Ken-
tucky. She returned to Decatur and
earned her divinity degree, summa cum
laude, from Columbia Seminary in
1970. Mattie went to England for her
Ph. D., which she was awarded at
Durham University in 1975.

Rebecca McCulloh '76 received her
M. Div. from The Divinity School of
Vanderbilt University in 1979, and was
ordained in Ft. Worth, Texas, as a
minister in the Disciples of Christ
denomination that same year. While a
student in Nashville she helped organize
the Rape and Sexual Abuse Center of
Davidson County, for which she has
since become the executive director.
Becky writes training manuals for teach-
ers, ministers, and youth workers; she
does fund-raising, hosts a weekly radio
show, and is writing a book.

The list of ordained alumnae is
growing. Jane Guthrie Rhodes '38, who
earned her M. Div. from Columbia
Seminary in 1974, is pastor-elect of a
church in North Carolina and hopes to
be ordained in February 1982. There
are doubtless some who have been
inadvertently overlooked in this round-
up; we welcome the opportunity of
making the record accurate. And, as the

author of the Letter to the Hebrews
wrote, "time would fail me" to tell of
all those Agnes Scott alumnae who have
received theological education but have
chosen not to be ordained.

Over the years indeed, over the
centuries there has been opposition to
the priesthood of women. Biblical evi-
dence, particularly from some verses of
the Apostle Paul, has been marshalled to
uphold the necessity of being male for
being a priest. But excluding women on
the basis of sex requires that other
evidence be overlooked.

The prophet Joel predicts to Judah
that "your sons and your daughters
shall prophesy" (Joel 2:28); and when,
in the days of Josiah the "book of the
Law" was discovered "in the house of
the LORD," there was no hesitation
about who was to be consulted as to its
authenticity as the word of God: they
went to one Huldah (II Kings 22:14.)

According to Luke, there were women
who traveled with the twelve disciples
in Jesus' entourage, incidentally picking
up the tab (Luke 8:1-3.) The gospels are
consistent in showing women as the first
witnesses to the resurrection, the fact
which founded the Christian church,
and the first commissioned to proclaim
the good news of the resurrection.

Inaccurate translation as well as
inadequate exegesis has devalued the
place of women in Scripture. There are
several points, for example, at which
the RSV over-translates, adding "men"
where the word does not occur in the
Greek (e.g., Luke 24:25; Ephesians
3:9).

Our consciousness as well as our
consciences are being raised these days,
and we recognize Paul as being at his
best when he declares to the Galatians
that in Christ "there is neither male nor
female" (3:28). The Priestly creation
story in Genesis 1:27 makes it clear that
female as well as male is made "in the
image of God." Agnes Scott graduates
are demonstrating that they can be
called into the priesthood; and those to

Career Trends for New Graduates

By Laurie K. McBrayer '83

Maryanne Gannon '81 chose The Coca-Cola Company over seven other offers.

Maryanne gannon '81 confirms the
idea that liberal arts graduates can and
do receive prestigious job offers. Mary-
anne, a math/music major, received
eight job offers, including positions as
systems analyst at Martin Marietta
(Denver), Exxon and Conoco (Hous-
ton), and Georgia Power (Atlanta); a
geophysical engineer at Exxon (Hous-
ton), a programmer at IBM (Burlington,
(Vermont), a systems engineer at Data
General (Atlanta), and programmer/an-
alyst at The Coca-Cola Company
(Atlanta).

A native Atlantan. Maryanne accept-

ed the last job offer. Although it was
not her best monetary offer, she explained
that she wanted "a large corporate
atmosphere. I know they'll be in busi-
ness twenty years from now," she
explained. Other advantages she cited
were opportunity for advancement, good
benefits, and exposure to modern equip-
ment. As a programmer/analyst in the
management information services depart-
ment, Maryanne receives requests from
various departments that want to auto-
mate a procedure and she designs,
writes, and tests a program before
instructing the user on how it works.

"It's exciting to work with others who
enjoy and want to share their 'secrets in
the field.'" she said.

During winter break of her senior
year she externed as a systems analyst for
the South Carolina Job Commission in
Columbia. "By this time I was pretty
sure that I wanted a career in program-
ming/analysis; the experience con-
firmed that belief." she said. She worked
several summers for the Central Water
Quality Lab, a division of the U. S.
Government Department of the Interior.

During her senior year at Agnes
Scott, Maryanne was class secretary-
treasurer, president of Glee Club, and
Dana Scholar. She said. "1 had a
marvelous time at Agnes Scott and I
learned a great deal. Agnes Scott estab-
lishes and fosters in its graduates growth,
eagerness to learn, and an excellent atti-
tude that there is a place in this world
for women and that we can handle it."

Kathleen Mooney, director of the
career planning office, said that Mary-
anne was successful because she was a
math major with work experience. She
stressed the importance of responsible
work experience and said that employ-
ers are looking for someone who knows
something about the practical world.
"The liberal arts graduate, to be com-
petitive, needs to acquire technical skills
or work experience," she said. She also
explained that receiving a job offer
depends on the individual. She said that
employers look at campus activities,
communication skills, ability to think
creatively, demonstrations of skills, and
the abilities to collaborate and to ana-
lyze data. "Agnes Scott graduates must
realize that they do have marketable
skills," she said.

Approximately one-half of Agnes
Scott graduates enter the business sec-
tor. The second most popular field for
Agnes Scott grads to enter is education.
Ms. Mooney said students with degrees
in math, chemistry, and physics are in
high demand. Opportunities are good
for women with economics degrees;

14

Agnes Scott Alumnae Quarterly

however, ASC grads must compete
against business school graduates who
are trained to begin the job search early.

Last May the alumnae office distrib-
uted questionnaires to seniors at a
pizza party after graduation rehearsal.
Ninety-nine of 121 seniors completed
the survey. Of these ninety-nine, 25
percent had been accepted to graduate
school, 12 percent planned further
study, 24 percent had accepted job
offers, and 34 percent planned to work.
Eleven of these students had marriage
plans; four had jobs already, two had
been accepted to graduate school, and
four were actively seeking a job.

Of the twenty-six going to graduate
school, three are going to law school,
two are going to medical school, four
are seeking Ph.D.'s in sociology,
classics, general psychology, and Latin/
medieval studies, and three are seeking
M.B.A.'s. The remainder of students
are pursuing master's degrees in fields
including education, English, history,
international business, math, theatre,
and decision sciences a relatively
new field with emphasis on computer
programming. These students are atten-

State, Georgia Tech, Middlebury, N.C.
State, Pepperdine, and the Universities
of Florida, Georgia, South Carolina,
Virginia, and Pennsylvania.

The Agnes Scott graduates of the
eighties are entering more non-traditional
fields for women. Susan Barnes, math
major, is a systems engineer with IBM in
Charlotte; Claudia Stucke, English major,
is an editor with W.R.C. Smith Publish-
ing Company; Dare Gaither, physics
major, does research as a senior techni-
cal associate for Bell Labs in Murray
Hill, N.J.; Nancy Brock, history major,
is a management trainee with First
National of Florida in Tampa; Katie
Bonta, economics major, is a program-
mer in application development with
IBM in Atlanta. Mary Beth Arant, who
participated in the Dual Degree Program
with the Georgia Institute of Technolo-
gy, works as an engineer with the Exxon
Production Research Company in Hous-
ton. Sarah Campbell, biology major,
wishes to obtain a master's degree in
dance therapy. She has deferred accept-
ance to Goucher College and is working
as a sales representative for Stuart
Pharmaceuticals in Savannah.

When Rhodes Scholar Ila Burdette
receives her English degree from Oxford
University, she will return to the U.S. to
study architecture. This summer she
worked for the architectural firm that is
renovating Campbell Hall. Debbie Boel-
ter '80, chemistry major, participated in
a unique co-op program. She worked for
the Center for Disease Control for
1 ,040 hours during the fall of her junior
year and the summer preceding her
senior year at Scott. She is now a
chemist with the Ethyl Corporation in

Baton Rouge. Cheryl Brown '80 joined
the army and is studying linguistics.
Lisa DeGrandi '80 spent the fall of her
senior year participating in the Washington
Semester Program. She worked for the
National Republican Committee the sum-
mer of 1980 and has been a member of
the White House staff.

Since 1973 the career planning
office has done a six to nine month
follow-up of each graduating class. Ms.
Mooney explained that this block of
time gives students the opportunity to
get situated. The Class of 1980 survey
revealed that out of 114 graduates,
seventy-four had full-time jobs, and
fifteen had part-time jobs. Twenty-six
were enrolled in graduate school; some
of these students were also working.
The three most popular fields were:
business/management-twenty-four; busi-
ness/clerical-twenty ; and education-eight-
een. Employed students reported high
or moderately high satisfaction in terms
of challenge (81.2%), salary (69.6%),
and long-range plans (70.6%). The
median salary for 1980 graduates was
$10,000-$12,999 compared to the 1979
median salary which was $8,000-$9,999.

Ms. Mooney said that the most
difficult step for students is getting the
interview because so many companies
hire from within. She said that students
need contacts and stressed the impor-
tance of the Alumnae/Students/Careers
(ASC) network.

She said that technical school grad-
uates experience more fluctuations in
job placements. "Being the generalist
rather than the specialist, we deal with
the same jobs for many years. We're
consistent," she said. A

President, receives ovation.

Atlanta

THE "LARGEST LUNCHEON CROWD EVER"

heard an outstanding address by Donald
R. Keough, president of The Coca-Cola
Company and a member of the Board of
Trustees of Agnes Scott College, at the
Atlanta Club's opening fall meeting
October 7. More than 200 alumnae and
friends of the college enjoyed a morning
visit together and applauded the noted
Atlanta business leader's eloquent and
forceful words in support of liberal arts
education and Agnes Scott in particular.
"The need for a broad-based education
is greater than ever," he stressed, "an
absolute must in a turbulent world.
Education is the cornerstone of our
civilization." He said that creative
thinkers in any field have a broad
vision. He told of the College's outstanding
graduates in many fields and empha-
sized, as he spoke of the coming
campaign to renovate the science buil-
ding, the importance of all the sciences
among the liberal arts. Mr. Keough is a
living testimony to the value of a liberal

arts education even in a business career,
for he himself was a philosophy major.
After giving several examples of citi-
zens who in doing their every day jobs
conscientiously and devotedly are truly
"Ordinary American Heroes" (the title
of his talk), he concluded with a sincere
and moving tribute to Agnes Scott's
president Marvin B. Perry, Jr., who
plans to retire in June. "Showing
courage, showing care, doing his best to
preserve and improve one of America's
truly outstanding halls of learning," the
trustee said of Dr. Perry, he has worked
hard to "demonstrate to a new genera-
tion of students the value of liberal
learning . . . giving them not just the
skills, but the values ... the insights
... the ideals they will need to solve the
problems of life today and tomorrow. I
think you would all agree with me that
Dr. Perry is a hero. I think we could call
him an extraordinary American hero."
He closed with a challenge to all
alumnae and college friends that they

accept the responsibility and trust of
continuing to support Agnes Scott Col-
lege, "for you, my friends, are also my
kind of American heroes."

Young Atlanta
and Decatur

A fascinating slide show accompanied
by historical and sociological "com-
mentary" by Dr. John Tumblin, profes-
sor of sociology and anthropology, was
the Young Atlanta Club and also the
Decatur Club program on two different
dates. Young Atlanta met October 15 in
McKinney date parlor in Main, and
Decatur met October 22 in Winship
Reception Room. Both clubs thoroughly
enjoyed the presentation, which described
the summer trip Dr. Tumblin took in his
own plane from New Orleans up the
Mississippi and over the route followed
by the explorers Lewis and Clark.

Chattanooga

Gail stadler weber '64 and several
classmates had a wonderful reunion at
the Chattanooga Club's October 17
meeting. Gail accompanied her hus-
band, Dr. William Weber, chairman of
the Department of Economics at Agnes
Scott, to the club luncheon at Grace
Episcopal Church. She was delighted to
find that Anne Foster Curtis '64 is
president of the Chattanooga alumnae
and that members include Becky Vick
Glover '64 and Nancy Barger Cox '64.
Dr. Weber's talk to the group, "Liberal
Arts and a Business Career," was
received with great enthusiasm and
attracted, in addition to alums, four
prospective students from the area. The
Webers announced they had "a great
trip" and that Chattanooga had been "a
super club to talk to."

Cobb

A lively jazz program by student sing-
ers and instrumentalists from the Col-
lege's "London Fog" group entertained
and impressed alumnae from the Cobb
County area at their fall meeting Octo-
ber 1 1 at the home of the club president,
Mary Audrey Mitchell Apple '67, in
Marietta. Ronald Byrnside, chairman of
the Department of Music, arranged the
program and was a welcome visitor
along with the students. The alumnae
very much enjoyed "the contact with
the students, as well as the music, and
were full of admiration for them,"
according to reports from the afternoon.
The students and Dr. Byrnside gave
glowing accounts of the old restored
home of the hosts and all their antiques.

Education's Biggest Oil Field

Women's Studies Enrich Curricula

By Dr. Ayse Ilgaz-Carden '66

Agnes Scott's year-long series of sym-
posia, "Women and Mindpower," was
reported in the winter issue of The
President's Newsletter, and an outline
of Florence Howe's speech was given.
The following is a synopsis of Alice
Emerson's talk. Dr. Emerson is presi-
dent of Wheaton College in Norton,
Massachusetts.

President Emerson addressed the Agnes
Scott community and other interested
individuals during the Honors Convoca-
tion on the morning of September 30.
Her topic, "Women's Studies: Educa-
tion's Biggest Oil Field," began with an
emphasis on the traditional role of
women's colleges. She identified three
basic ideas shared by all women's
colleges: belief in the importance of an
independent liberal arts education, belief
in women as important sources of talent,
and a view of educational institutions as
essential elements of a free society,
dedicated to the discovery and transmis-
sion of knowledge. She noted that
ignoring women's contributions and
concerns in the curriculum is quite
inconsistent with these high principles.
She proceeded to argue that what the
discovery of oil had done in terms of
changing our lives and spurring us into
new areas of discovery, the new schol-
arship about women would do all over
again, giving our ideas new energy and
enriching our lives.

As scholars try to "recover wom-
en's past" they will undoubtedly face a
number of challenges. President Emer-
son focused on several areas where
considerable difficulty has been experi-
enced. Within educational institutions,
this new scholarship has been treated as
a form of soft scholarship and, quite
often, has remained isolated in women's
studies programs. Arguing that "almost
every discipline is deficient in its current
state of development" and that "sources

Wheaton President Alice Emerson

that we have had to rely on have
been so skewed to reflect male activities
that we are drastically imbalanced in
what we know and what we teach," she
pointed out that integration of the
curriculum will balance it and will lead

to a redefinition of liberal arts, moving
them toward scholarship and knowledge
about all human beings. She empha-
sized that the opportunity to be leaders
in this curricular integration process is
highly consistent with the historical
mission and responsibility of women's
colleges.

Among other difficulties to be
encountered by women's studies schol-
ars. President Emerson listed the
following: devaluation (thinking less of
scholarship on women), student resist-
ance (tendency to think that what is
unknown is unimportant), competition
for a place in the curriculum, and the
reward-risk ratio which, for a while.
may be working in favor of risk (more
difficult to be recognized in women's
studies, more likely to encounter de-
partmental punitiveness when involved
in women's studies, etc.) According to
President Emerson, we have no choice
but to continue toward balancing the
curriculum in spite of all the difficulties
involved. "Our integrity and honesty as
scholars are at stake," she argues. Women
"must know their own past if their
future is to be complete."

Going on to an "external threat,"
President Emerson cautioned the audi-
ence about the "moral majority" which
challenges the very tenets of liberal
education. Among the dangers posed by
this ultra-conservative group, she sin-
gled out their view of education as the
"learning of the right answer" and their
espousal of inequality of the sexes.
. According to President Emerson, these

* positions are inconsistent with our con-
I stitutional guarantees and the origins of

* our national educational philosophy, both
of which reflect the importance of
independence of thought and belief and
the basic tenets of participatory democ-
racy. In closing, she reiterated the
significance of these principles. "Edu-
cation is the mainstay of democracy."
she argued; both will flourish with
active care and participation.

The Potential of Alumnae Power

Of ALL THE CRISES faced by human beings today the
energy crisis is one of the greatest. Governments are
arming for oil and grappling with the problems of
nuclear power. European countries, in their eagerness
for natural gas to be delivered through the nearly
completed pipeline from Siberia, will not join the
U.S. in sanctions against Russia. Countries and
individuals are all in need of energy to produce the
power to continue their work.

Much of Agnes Scott's energy comes from alumnae
power! What better way can the College find the
energy to gather funds, recruit students, provide jobs
for graduates, and proclaim the strengths of the
College than through alumnae power? We possess this
all-important energy.

Our legion is more than 9,000 strong. Of this large
number, more than 1,300 (roughly fifteen percent)
are already volunteers for the College and are
performing the aforementioned tasks. There are 550
fund agents and chairpersons, 125 alumnae admis-
sions representatives, 350 alumnae admissions volun-
teers, 180 class officers, 150 club officers and career
advisory persons, and 26 members of the Alumnae

Association executive board. The acts of service
which all these former students perform for the
College are examples of alumnae power.

Last year 3,500 (thirty-one percent) of our more
than 9,000 alumnae contributed money to the
College. This act of giving is an essential type of
alumnae power. There are yet untapped resources.
Somehow we need to search out these sources of
energy and draw them in to produce the power Agnes
Scott is going to need in the eighties.

Agnes Scott will need millions of dollars in the
eighties. As we approach our centennial celebration in
1989, what better way can we show our devotion and
cumulative power than by supporting the College's
fund raising challenges. The million dollar challenge
was met last year; alumnae power helped. The
College's new goal is to remodel the Science
Building. Three million dollars must be raised in three
years; alumnae power can help.

Please read the articles about the Science Building
Campaign (page 2 through 5 in this issue). We have
the power to get this campaign moving!

MARVIN BANKS PERRY, JR.

An Appreciation

By Dr. Walter Edward McNair

Within the first month after becom-
ing president of Agnes Scott in 1973,
Marvin Banks Perry, Jr., addressed a
letter to the entire Agnes Scott com-
munity, including all alumnae. The
final paragraph of this letter eloquently
sets forth the goals and purposes which
he had for his administration. Here is
what he wrote:

It will be my aim, building on
her great strengths, to move Agnes
Scott forward as a demanding but
flexible and lively liberal arts
college, proud of her traditions
and standards, but alert and re-
sponsive to the evolving educa-
tional and social needs of young
people in a society bewildered by
rapid and revolutionary change.
In this task, my chief concern will
be the human elements of Agnes
Scott, especially her students and
those who work here, whether as
teachers, administrators, or cleri-
cal and maintenance staff. My
hope is that, together, we can
develop here an even more effec-
tive and vital community of lib-
eral learning. Working together,
with dedication and concern for
each other and the College we
serve, I know we can succeed.
In reality, the last nine years have been
a record of the carrying out of the
purposes set forth in this letter.

In support of this claim, a partial
listing of the achievements of Presi-
dent Perry's administration is sub-
mitted:

The administration of the College
has been reorganized under five
division heads directly responsi-
ble to the President. All other staff
members work for or with these
five division persons.

By a change in the College by-
laws, initiated by the President,
the faculty, under the President,
was granted greatly augmented
functions .

Agnes Scott Alumnae Quarterly

President Perry expresses appreciation to Dr. Florene Dunstan at the time of her retirement.

The Charles A. Dana Professor-
ships were established.

The Fuller E. Callaway Professor-
ship was inaugurated.

The Hal L. and Julia T. Smith
Chair of Free Enterprise was
established in the Department of
Economics.

The retirement compensation of
emeritus professors who retired
many years ago on very small
pensions was markedly improved.

A new policy on sabbatical leaves
for the faculty was initiated.

New fringe benefit programs for
faculty, administrative staff, and
hourly employees were an-
nounced.

Alumnae annual giving increased
186% from 1973-1974 through
1980-1981 (the last year for
which complete figures are avail-
able).

Use of the campus by visiting
groups in the summer became a
reality.

The College calendar was altered,
giving the long recess from Thanks-
giving to the New Year.

The return-to-college program was
designed and implemented.
The student health service was
completely re- vamped.
The problem of the use of alco-
holic beverages on campus by
students was faced and hopefully
resolved.

Procedures for allowing men to
visit in student dormitories were
formulated.

The qualifications for member-
ship on the College's Board of
Trustees were altered permitting
more flexibility in selecting Board
members.

With the President's endorsement,
a new statement on academic
freedom was approved by the
Trustees as well as revised pol-
icies and criteria for appointment,
reappointment, promotion, and
tenure in the faculty.

Rules and regulations for griev-
ance procedures were worked out
for the faculty.

The fiftieth anniversary of Phi
Beta Kappa at Agnes Scott was
appropriately observed.

The Career Planning Office was
greatly expanded in its effective-
ness both to alumnae and to stu-
dents.

A new long-range study of the
growth and use of the campus and
for the acquisition of property was
accomplished.

The McCain Library, Buttrick
Hall, and Campbell Science Hall
were completely renovated and
modernized at a cost of approxi-
mately $5,000,000, none of which
came from the current operating
budget but represented money
given for these specific projects.

A dual degree program for Agnes
Scott students was worked out
with the Georgia Institute of Tech-
nology.

The Board of Trustees adopted
long-range plans for the College
looking to adding $50,000,000
to Agnes Scott's financial assets
by A.D. 2000.

A program of honor scholarships
was inaugurated based on merit
rather than need.

(Continued)

President Perry greets alumnae on the front steps of Presser
during Alumnae Weekend.

Bertie Bond '53 has served as President Pern's administrative
assistant.

The program of scholarships
based on need was greatly
increased.

A successful fund raising cam-
paign was waged for $750,000 to
meet a challenge grant of $250,000
from the National Endowment for
the Humanities.

The Kirk Concert Series, honor-
ing the late Mary Wallace Kirk
'11, was established.

Within the liberal arts framework,
courses preparatory for careers in
business have been developed.

With the constant encouragement
of the President, the intellectual
life of the College both for fac-
ulty and for students has con-
tinued to flourish at a high level.

The nine years of President Perry's
administration have indeed been
eventful both in American higher
education and for Agnes Scott itself.
As is evident from the above listing.

sweeping changes have taken place on
this campus. Seventeen of Agnes
Scott's thirty-one trustees were elected
during President Perry's administra-
tion; over 50 percent of the faculty in
1981-1982 were ultimately selected
by him; total assets of the College have
increased from $48,646,829 in 1973
to $63,840,392 in 1982 a growth
of $15,193,563. Evidence of Presi-
dent Perry's unremitting attention to
improving the lot of the faculty is
found in the increases he has been able
to make in salaries. From 1973-1974
through 1981-1982, faculty average
remuneration has improved as follows:
professor 75 percent, associate
professor 66 percent, assistant pro-
fessor 54 percent, and instructor 54
percent. The College's operating budget
rose from $3,970,000 in 1973-1974
to $7,049,875 in 1981-1982. All this
achievement has come at a time of
rising costs and soaring inflation in
every aspect of the College's fiscal

affairs. Every year Agnes Scott has
staunchly adhered to its long-standing
policy of a balanced budget and
operating "in the black." That Presi-
dent Perry had been able to accomplish
these things and hold Agnes Scott
firmly to its basic moorings and
educational heritage is indicative of
the measure of the man of his vision,
of his determination, of his innate
common sense, and of his sympathetic
concern for everyone and everything
related to Agnes Scott. He has consis-
tently strengthened every facet of the
College as it has approached its second
century. His presidency stands as a
measuring stick for those which will
follow.

As he retires and moves to Charlot-
tesville, Virginia, Marvin Perry goes
with the gratitude, respect, and affec-
tion of Agnes Scott's far-flung consti-
tuency. The College is better that he
has been here, but it is poorer that he is
leaving.

Agnes Scott Alumnae Quarterly

Mindpower Series Continues

Agnes SCOTT'S year long "Women and
Mindpower Symposium" series contin-
ued during the winter quarter with
keynote speakers, a panel discussion,
and two informal Hub Talks. The theme
of these events was "Women and
Achievement."

Mrs. Marie Dodd, chairperson of the
Board of Regents, University System in
Georgia, and vice president of Ivan
Allen Co., addressed the Agnes Scott
community and interested persons at the
Founder's Day Convocation on Febru-
ary 24. In her address, titled "Women:
Achievers in Their Own Way," she
noted that there are new opportunities
for women each year and defended
liberal arts educations as preparation for
the business world. Mrs. Dodd called to
mind the achievements of Agnes Scott
graduates from the 1920s to the present

By Dr. John Pilger

and stated that "whatever their year of
graduation, Agnes Scott students per-
form admirably in the workplace."

In the evening the Symposium partic-
ipants were treated to an exciting slide
and film illustrated lecture titled "Sea
Monsters and Cigar Sharks" by Dr.
Eugenie Clark. Dr. Clark is professor of
zoology at the University of Maryland
and is known popularly as the "Shark
Lady." She is the author of numerous
scholarly and popular articles on sharks
and was featured in a recent National
Geographic Society television special.

As a child, Dr. Clark marveled at the
fishes in the New York Public Aqua-
rium and dreamt that someday she would
be able to swim among the fishes.
Today she lives that dream as a world
renowned biologist-diver whose diving
experience ranges from studying the

behavior of coral reef fishes in the Red
Sea to feeding and photographing great
white sharks from a submerged cage.
Dr. Clark truly is an exemplar of her
final message to the audience: that each
person must do what her heart tells her
to do, regardless of social restrictions or
traditional molds.

Both of these women participated in a
panel discussion in Rebekah on February
25 with several other women panelists
including an attorney, a television news
anchorperson, a surgeon, and a member
of the Georgia State Legislature. The
theme of the discussion, "Women and
Nontraditional Achievement," provided
a framework for a lively exchange about
the pressures and problems experienced
by women in nontraditional roles.

Spring 1982

Progress Report

Transforming the Science Hall

Campbell science hall is undergoing
a transformation! The most extensive
renovation project in the history of
Agnes Scott College was started in
November 1981. When classes begin in
the fall of 1982. we will have a physical
facility designed to meet the instruc-
tional needs of the science departments
and to comply with contemporary codes
and specifications for the safety of
students and faculty.

The Board of Trustees, responding to
a statement of critical need, authorized a
financial campaign to raise at least
$3,000,000 for the project and gave the
green light for planning to begin in the
late spring of 1981 . Faculty members in
the Departments of Biology, Chemistry,
and Physics/Astronomy were so eager
for the work to be done that they
responded immediately and began plan-
ning sessions which have consumed
hours, days, and weeks. Thoughts of
vacations, weekends at the lake, and
free time with families and friends were
put aside during the summer of 1981. I
have had the privilege of chairing the
renovation committee consisting of San-
dra Bowden, professor of biology; Alice
Cunningham, Kenan Professor of Chem-
istry; and Arthur L. Bowling, associate
professor of physics. These three faculty
members chair their respective depart-
ments. Vice President for Business
Affairs Lee Barclay and Director of
Physical Plant Vaughan Black worked
with us from the initial stages of
planning and President Perry was, of
course, an ex-officio member of the
committee. Of inestimable value has
been the expertise of Board Chairman
Lawrence L. Gellerstedt, Jr., a profes-
sional in construction. He has given
freely of his time and wisdom.

Permit me, if you will, to engage in a
bit of nostalgia. When I joined the
Agnes Scott faculty twenty-five years
ago the "new" science building was far
superior to the buildings in which 1 had
worked during college and graduate
school. Equipment and supplies were
plentiful and operating budgets were
sufficient to replace the broken test

tubes, the beakers, Petri dishes, and
slides. There was a UV spectrophotom-
eter in Chemistry; Biology had an auto-
clave; Physics was proud of its cloud
chamber. Astronomy had a magnificent
telescope in Bradley Observatory and
several smaller telescopes in Campbell.
All was well with the sciences.

Then something began to happen,
surely and steadily. Chemists discarded
test tubes and Bunsen burners and
replaced them with instruments. Wet
labs gave way to areas of carefully
controlled temperature and humidity to
house delicate recording devices. Biol-
ogists began to talk of ultra-centrifuges,
of electron microscopes, and of ecologi-
cal field labs. Physicists discarded the
Wheatstone bridge in favor of minute
electronic components. Everyone be-
came conscious of toxic chemicals, of
carcinogenic compounds, of adequate
air-handling systems, and of the dis-
posal of hazardous wastes. The very

nature of laboratory instruction and of
experimentation has undergone a virtual
revolution in the past twenty years and
Agnes Scott College can wait no longer
to respond.

The $3,000,000 renovation project
is being carried out by experts in the
field. The architectural firm of Nix.
Mann and Associates was employed to
draw the plans. The firm was selected
by the steering committee because of
its experience in laboratory design and
renovation, responsiveness to needs and
ideas generated by the faculty, and wil-
lingness to undertake the project for
the specified budget. Incidentally, the
primary architect for the project is David
C. Johnson, husband of Bonnie Brown
Johnson '70, and another partner in the
firm is Gary Swords, husband of Lois
Turner Swords '77. General contractor
for the project is Beers Construction
Company, whose president is Lawrence
L. Gellerstedt. Jr., husband of Mary

Richard Swanson, coordinator. Dean Gary, and Larry Crabtree, construction
supervisor from Beers, consult the plans beneath potential fume hoods in the
organic labs.

Biology professor Bowden, chemistry professor Cunningham, and Dean Gary discuss
new ducts for ventilation .

Duckworth Gellerstedt '46 and father
of Gayle Gellerstedt Daniel '71. This
is truly an Agnes Scott project in
every sense of the word.

The budget of $3,000,000 will not
be allocated totally to construction. A
sum of $250,000 will be saved for use
by the Departments of Biology, Chemistry,
and Physics/Astronomy for the pur-
chase of equipment. Annual operating
budgets are totally inadequate for ex-
penditures of the magnitude required for
computers, recording devices, and ma-
jor pieces of equipment. Another $250,000
will pay for fees, permits, and consult-
ants and will allow for contingencies
which often arise when work is done on
an older structure. The bulk of the fund,
about $2,500,000, will be devoted to
construction. Meticulously made plans
will provide for most of the necessities
and for a few of the luxuries in a safe
and functional building.

Perhaps the single most costly item in
the renovation is the air-handling sys-
tem. All floors will have ventilation
designed to meet codes for laboratory
safety. The number of fume hoods will
be almost tripled. Air conditioning will

be provided for faculty offices and
instrument areas and for a small labora-
tory in each department where research
can be carried out by faculty and
students during the summer months.
Because of the initial expense of instal-
lation and the high cost of operation, air
conditioning will be omitted in general
laboratory and classroom areas where
air exchange is necessary.

New corrosion-resistant plumbing will
be installed throughout the building and
distilled water will be piped to crucial
areas. The entire building will be
rewired to meet the needs of instrumen-
tation. Lighting designed for energy
efficiency and proper illumination will
be installed.

Each of the departments will have an
enlarged library-reading room to ac-
commodate current periodicals, refer-
ence works, and monographs. Two
smaller seminar rooms will give the
science departments a type of teaching

area quite popular on the campus. A
new elevator and new rest room facili-
ties are designed with special attention
to the needs of handicapped individuals.

Laboratory space used by each de-
partment will be restructured to meet the
needs of current and immediate future
enrollments. New areas will include a
central instrument room in Chemistry, a
herbarium in Biology, an electronics and
computer laboratory, and special stor-
age areas for flammable materials.

The relatively modern area on the
ground floor of the building occupied by
the Department of Psychology has not
been forgotten. It will be an essentially
untouched island during the project with
the exception of additional animal room
facilities.

Astronomy is now totally housed in
Bradley Observatory. Though this dis-
cipline will not benefit directly from the
construction aspect of the project, it will
have a share in equipment funds allo-
cated through the Department of Physics
and Astronomy.

Little money will remain for decora-
tion in the building. A few splashes of
color here and there, new flooring,
imaginative use of the lighting, and the
cleaning of the current handsome oak
cabinets and lab benches will prevent
the cold, sterile appearance which is
characteristic of many modem facilities.

It is no small feat to maintain
laboratory instruction in a building
which, inch by inch and foot by foot, is
being taken over by a construction crew .
Richard Swanson, former member of the

Agnes Scott is depending on the alumnae to pledge
$1,000,000, one-third of the total amount needed for the
renovation of the Science Hall. This is the first time in a
major campaign that the College has asked those of us who
care the most to be the first to give. We do not need to wait
for foundations and businesses to tell us that our College is a
good investment. We know that already, and I am convinced
that we will not only reach our goal, but will exceed it.

Dot Holloran Addison '43

Agnes Scott Alumnae Quarterly

Chemistry faculty, is now employed as
coordinator, working with contractors
and with faculty. He sees that areas are
vacated as needed for construction and
attempts to maintain teaching facilities
in the untouched areas. By June 1, the
entire building will be vacant every
desk, every chemical, every book,
every instrument, will be out of the
building, and appropriately stored in
College buildings and in commercial
storage facilities. This is all a part of the
task for which Richard Swanson is
responsible. One of his first ventures
was the organization of a gigantic
scientific garage sale. The project netted
almost $10,000, to be allocated to the
departments for special needs.

We assume that the campaign project
will be totally successful and that it will,
perhaps, net even more than the mini-
mum $3,000,000 required for the proj-
ect. There is already a "want list" of
additional options which can be added
later and which will greatly enhance the
usefulness of the building. When the
project is completed in the fall of 1982,
we expect to have a celebration and to
provide an opportunity for alumnae and
friends to visit the renovated facility.

The committee has been allowed to
set priorities, dictate needs, and work
with the architect to plan the entire
project. No statement on the renovation
would be appropriate without an expres-
sion of gratitude to the Board of
Trustees and to President Perry for the
remarkable freedom which we have had
in spending the $3,000,000 fund.A

The health, value, and distinction of any whole depends upon
the quality of its parts. To keep the whole curriculum at Agnes
Scott in the category of excellence, we need to insure that
every area of the liberal arts offerings is healthy, up-to-date,
challenging, and of the highest quality. The area of the
sciences is our first priority now. As we renovate the science
building, we are insuring the excellence of Agnes Scott's total
program. Join hands, hearts, and dollars with all contributors
to this most worthy, most essential fund drive.

History Professo

By I

Professor of history Geraldine Mer-
oney will retire at the end of this year.
She has been on leave for the 1981-82
academic session and has been complet-
ing a manuscript on the life of Lieuten-
ant Governor William Bull, a prominent
South Carolina Loyalist during the Amer-
ican Revolution.

Miss Meroney received the B.A. de-
gree in history from Rice University
and the M.A. and Ph.D. degrees from
the University of Oregon. She came to
Agnes Scott in 1966 and began teaching
courses in medieval civilization, the
Renaissance, twentieth-century Europe,
and modern intellectual history.

As a teacher Miss Meroney's primary
concern was to help her students realize
that history is much more than a rote
memorization of facts and dates. Such
an approach, she stated, "neglects the
role that emotion plays in the course of
events. History should act as a mirror to
inform and teach us about ourselves,
about our humanity." She often gave
her freshman European civilization sur-
vey class an assignment that demon-
strated the influence of this human
element upon our perception of history.
Using primary sources describing Wil-
liam the Conqueror's invasion of Eng-
land, the students had to write an
account of the Battle of Hastings. "The
assignment was intended." Miss Mer-
oney said, "to shake them loose from
dependence upon the written word,
from a mere spewing forth of facts." As
her students worked through the biased
and often conflicting first-hand accounts
of the events of 1066, they soon
realized that a historian's perception of a
battle might indeed depend upon whether
or not he were on the winning side!

Miss Meroney also sought to give her
students an understanding of the intel-
lectual forces that shape our view of
history. In her first few years at Scott
she taught a course on nineteenth and
twentieth-century intellectual history.
Focusing on such key figures as Marx,
Darwin. Freud. Wagner, Lenin, and
Einstein, the course explored the enor-
mous impact that the ideas of these men
were to have upon the thinking of their

time. She took a similar approach to
teaching medieval and Renaissance civi-
lization. Thomas Aquinas, Dante, Thomas
More, and Erasmus were only a few of
the great minds she introduced to her
classes. Her students found that study-
ing the writings of these men "fleshed
out" the medieval and Renaissance ages
and helped them discover their rele-
vance to our own time. And Miss
Meroney herself found new meaning in
their works every time she taught the
courses.

"I never grew tired of teaching
Dante," she recalled. "The classes
made the difference. Each class reacted
differently, and I learned something
new every year." Miss Meroney be-
lieved in the ability and potential of her
students, and she had a special way of

inspiring them to have confidence in
themselves, as women and as human
beings. Her concern for her students
reached beyond the immediate class-
room. She served as a Mortar Board
sponsor and was a member of the
original Committee on Academic Prob-
lems (CAP), started in the winter of
1967.

CAP's purpose, said Miss Meroney,
"was to establish a dialogue between
faculty and students." CAP did just
that. Both students and faculty were
members of the committee and re-
mained members for more than one
consecutive year. The resulting continu-
ity enabled CAP to make a number of
changes designed to make the curricu-
lum more flexible and more responsive
to the needs of students. Its accom-

plishments included enabling sopho-

classes.

Miss Meroney's specialty is the me-
dieval period, but, she said, "Any
period of history interests me." She has
done an extensive amount of research on
Georgia and South Carolina during the
American Revolution, becoming partic-
ularly interested in the Loyalists. "It's
great fun to research a subject other than
what you are teaching," she added.
"You're able to immerse yourself in a
minute level of detail that would be

meaningless in a classroom." Since the
early seventies she has published nu-
merous articles on Southern Loyaltists,
and while on leave this year she has
been completing her manuscript on the
life of William Bull. "I was intrigued
by the question of why this man, who
loved South Carolina, chose not to join
the Revolution," Miss Meroney ex-
plained, adding that all too often our
perception of the conflict is limited to
the patriots' point of view. "I hope to
offer an interpretation that will add
another dimension to our view of the
American Revolution."

Miss Meroney also reviews books for
the Georgia Historical Review and the
Florida Historical Quarterly. She has

completed, for inclusion in Dictionary
of Georgia Biography, short biographi-
cal sketches of George Washington
Scott, founder of Agnes Scott College,
Frank Henry Gaines, the first president
of the College, and James Ross McCain,
the College's second president. "I en-
joyed researching the history of the
College," she said. "I was proud to be
asked to do the sketches."

Miss Meroney shared her enthusiasm
for history and her love of learning with
every class that she taught. She is a
friend as well as a very fine teacher,
often sharing personal experiences with
her students, and they appreciate her
sense of humor and her forthright
honesty. Agnes Scott will miss her.

Leone Bowers Hamilton '26 designed a plate for a D.A.R. chapter in West Virginia.

1951 was the year that Ferdinand
Warren and Marie Huper (now Marie
Huper Pepe) first came to Agnes Scott
to set up the art department as it is
today. What the news article did not
report was the invaluable help and sup-
port that the newly-reorganized depart-
ment received from a very special
Agnes Scott alumnae, Leone Bowers
Hamilton '26.

Leone Hamilton's roots at Agnes
Scott were deep. She graduated in 1926
with a degree in history, since at that
time the College did not offer an art
major. In order to get an art certificate,
she returned to Agnes Scott for a fifth
year to study with Louise Lewis. She
and her husband, Clarence William
Hamilton, lived in Decatur, and Leone,
known as "Red." continued to do
special art projects for the College. She
designed a book plate and drew plots for
the land which the College was purchas-
ing at the time. She also studied under
Howard Thomas, who came to head the
art department in 1943. When Mr.
Thomas left Agnes Scott in 1945 to
teach at the University of Georgia.
Leone became a part-time instructor of
drawing and painting. She taught at
Scott for one year.

"Mrs. Hamilton loved Agnes Scott,
and she wanted to see the department
develop," Mrs. Pepe said recently,
recalling Leone's contributions to the art
department. "When Ferdinand Warren
first came here, she introduced herself
to us and offered to help. We had to start
from scratch."

Starting from scratch not only meant
drawing up new courses and major
requirements; it also meant moving the
art studios from their location on fourth
floor Main to the attic in Buttrick Hall.
The dusty, unused rooms had to be
cleaned out for the new studio, and
rooms on the third floor had to be
prepared for use as a gallery. Leone
Hamilton generously offered her time
and energy, helping to paint walls, hang
curtains, build screens, and hang shows.
After the studio's completion, she con-
tinued to support the department, donat-

ing much-needed supplies and materials
for classes and art books to the library.
Perhaps most importantly, she sought to
gain community support for the depart-
ment. Active in civic organizations, she
was, Mrs. Pepe said, a major force in
involving the Decatur community in art,
and many of her friends came to view
the Agnes Scott exhibits.

"Red" Hamilton was a well-known
artist throughout the Southeast. Her
paintings were abstract, characterized
by blocks and flecks of light and pure
color. Her color combinations were
based on the theory of "color vibra-
tions," which she began to develop
during her studies with Hans Hofmann.
"I select colors that vibrate against one
another to create volume and depth,"
she explained in an interview in 1980.

Leone displayed her paintings in
exhibits and one-man shows from the
Deep Douth to the Far West. Her work
hangs in a number of private collec-
tions, including the Vincent Price Col-
lection. In 1961 her work was shown at
the Museum of Modern Art in Paris as
part of an exhibit sponsored by the
International Women's Club. An art
critic in the magazine La Revue Mod-
erne noted the brilliance of her colors
and the freshness of her abstract tech-
nique.

In addition to her study at Agnes
Scott, Leone studied painting at the
Pennsylvania Academy of Art, the
University of Georgia (under Lamar
Dodd), the Atlanta Art Institute, and the
Hans Hofmann School of Fine Art.
Hofmann, Howard Thomas, and Lamar
Dodd had important influences upon
Leone's work. "These serious teach-
ers," she said, "gave me to understand
that art is a real study and that honesty
must be the basis of creative work."
' ' Howard Thomas , ' ' Leone added , ' ' made
me realize there were other ways of
looking than the one which I had been
taught: academic, and almost photo-
graphic as far as representation went."
Thomas sent her to study with Hans
Hofmann, the prominent German paint-
er who had been very influential in the

In her Decatur studio Leone painted
"Dannie Sue."

development of modern art.

Hofmann was to have the greatest
impact upon Leone's approach to paint-
ing. "My whole attitude changed," she
said. "What was so wonderful for me
was, he taught the use of space on the
plane of your canvas and the control of
that space." She learned that "the main
thing is relationships. A good composi-
tion must have plastic unity and power-
ful simplicity. Color must not imitate the
flatness of the area, but must create a
greater depth."

After resigning from her teaching
position at Agnes Scott, Leone taught in
the DeKalb County school system, the
Decatur Recreation Center, Georgia
State University, and Morehouse Col-
lege. She taught private lessons as well.
Some of her students were Agnes Scott
students. She said that her Agnes Scott
position was the most exciting "as far as
the minds of the girls were concerned . . .
They weren't easy to teach. They were
quick learners and I had to stay one step
ahead ... It was fun to see them open
up their minds and begin to accept
beyond their former concepts."

As a teacher, Leone's goal was to
help her students express themselves

freely. "This is very important to me,"
she said, "that if they get a principle,
that they express it in their own way. I
think this is the only way you can be an
artist." Hofmann 's ideals became her
own: "The work demonstrates the men-
tality and spirituality of the artist . . .
Each thing you do is done to the best of
your ability in exploring it and work-
ing on it."

Leone often found inspiration for her
paintings in religious subjects and in her
memories of her childhood on her
family's farm in West Virginia,
"Elmwood-on-Opequon." She and her
husband retired there in 1968, and she
lived there until her death last spring.
They had two childern, Sarah Crewe
Hamilton Leathers '53 and William
Anson Hamilton.

It is fitting that this artist who gave so
much of herself to her students and to
Agnes Scott was honored during Alum-
nae Weekend. Her paintings were on
display in the Dalton Gallery, along with
the Woman's Invitational Show, April 4
through April 29, featuring the work of
Gail Corcoran, Abby Drue, Heather
Hilton, and Caroline Montague.

Leone worked on "The Cage.'

DR AND MRS. MARVIN B PERRY. JR .

have had an exciting and enjoyable, if
strenuous, spring visiting as many alum-
nae groups as their schedule would
permit. It has been a nostalgic time for
everyone concerned. His talks have
included reminiscences of happy days at
Agnes Scott, appreciation for the sup-
port of alumnae, and an account of
accomplishments under his regime. He
noted with particular satisfaction the
inauguration of the honor scholars and
return-to-college programs. Reminding
the audiences that two recent funds, the
Mary Wallace Kirk Fund and the Mil-
lion Dollar Challenge Fund, have made
possible the extension of cultural oppor-
tunities, faculty enrichment, and library
expansion, he has pointed to the need to
focus attention on our science facilities
to make them current and challenging.

Large groups of alumnae and hus-
bands have come to greet the Perrys,
enjoy dinner, and hear the President's
enthusiastic presentation of the need for
generous support of the campaign for
renovation of the science building.
Alumnae Affairs Director Virginia Brown
McKenzie '47 has accompanied the
Perrys and has shown a specially pre-
pared film about Agnes Scott today and
the proposed updating of the building.

Alumnae helping with the planning
for the dinners included Cissie Spiro

The shreveport CLUB enjoyed a visit
from Sharon Maitland '80. of the
College Admissions Office, so much
December 3 that the members have
decided to plan their next meeting to
include a similar program. President
Helen Heard Lowrey '67 wrote that
several alumnae who had never been to

With the Clubs

Winston-Salem Tuscaloosa

DR. WALLACE ALSTON. Agnes Scott's
beloved president emeritus, spent Hal-
loween last fall with the Winston-Salem
group at their luncheon at the Forsyth
Country Club. His topic was "Recollec-
tions of Agnes Scott College." Lucy
Morcock Milner '63 wrote, "We had
expected stories of his twenty-five years
at the College, but he surprised us by
returning to his childhood memories of
such luminaries as Dr. and Mrs. Gaines
and such places as his boyhood baseball
diamond, now the location of the
President's home. We were all en-
tranced astonished at his sharp and
sensitive memory and touched anew by
his wit and energy, his intellectual
grasp, and his spiritual depth. He cast a
vigorous and a very happy spell over us
that Halloween day. Of those of us at
Agnes Scott during his tenure, few left
with dry eyes."

Prospective students outnumbered
the alums at the Valentine's Day coffee
at the home of Virginia Parker Cook
'75. President Martha Stephenson Kel-
ley '74 wrote that many of the high
schoolers were very interested in the

club's display of brochures and catalogs
and took home some of the material
offered on Agnes Scott. "We're too
small to get ambitious," she said, "but
the area alums do enjoy the contact
presently established, and next year we
may consider a theatre party, with
husbands included."

Good- Bye Gift for the Perrys

This past year at Agnes Scott College
has been an intense one a time of
endings and beginnings. Returning to
the campus after his August vacation,
Marvin Perry announced to the College
community that he would retire July 1 ,
1982, one year earlier than he had
planned when he accepted the presi-
dency in 1973. He had originally
spoken of serving a decade. The campus
community was struck with the drama
of his decision. The president, only 63,
had decided to leave, for reasons of
health, just as we were beginning the
Science Building Campaign, the first in
a series of mini campaigns, as the
College approaches its centennial cele-
bration.

The $3,000,000 Campaign had com-
menced and construction crews had
settled on campus to modernize our
30-year-old science hall. Knowing that
fund-raising is an important function of
a college president and having promised
not to be a lame duck president during
his last year, Marvin Perry agreed to
travel extensively, seeking funds for the
renovation project. This active involve-
ment caused him to cede his earlier plan
to teach an English course on Poetry of
the Victorian Period, a subject dear to
his heart.

So he has taken to the road, sought,
and found financial support for Agnes
Scott College all across the country. I
have traveled by plane with Marvin and
Ellen Perry to Dallas, Houston, Wash-
ington, Raleigh, and Memphis, by
automobile to Charlotte, Mobile, Mont-

gomery, and Knoxville. He will go to
Wilmington, N.C., and New York in
May. I have heard the president say that
he has "kept the faith" pursuing the
original goals of the College, that of
providing an academically strong liberal
arts education for women in a Judeo-
Christian environment. With a slight
tremor he has confessed that leaving
Agnes Scott friends will be a consider-
able trauma for both of them.

While traveling with the Perrys 1 have
had an opportunity to observe their great
affection for the College and their
immense concern for all people, includ-
ing the alumnae. I am sure that a large
number of public figures, as well as
alumnae, admire Marvin Perry and
appreciate the energetic and sensitive
leadership he has exhibited. President of
The Coca-Cola Company Donald Keough,
in his address to the Agnes Scott
Alumnae Club, October 7, 1981, com-
mended President Perry:

Eight years ago, Agnes Scott Col-
lege found itself threatened not only
by the national devaluation of the
liberal arts curriculum, but also by a
strong move toward co-education. To
make matters worse, college enroll-
ment was generally down all over the
country.

And then along came a man from
Powhatan. Virginia, ... a man who
had served his country as an athlete, a
writer, a naval commander, and an
outstanding educator for many years.
He accepted the challenge and the
leadership of Agnes Scott . . .
pledging to keep it healthy during a

period which threatened America's
independent liberal arts colleges.

Now, eight years later, he is retir-
ing. Enrollment is now higher at
Agnes Scott; the school's budget is
balanced and its financial base is
stronger; its curriculum is providing
today's students with the knowledge
and skills necessary to compete in the
world of the future; and Agnes Scott's
honored tradition of academic excel-
lence in the liberal arts has not been
sacrificed. It is stronger than ever.

And the moving force behind all
this . . . for the last eight years . . . has
been Dr. Marvin Banks Perry, Jr. He
hasn't made many headlines. He
hasn't been on the six o'clock news.
He's just been working hard . . .
showing courage . . . showing care . . .
doing his best to preserve and im-
prove one of America's truly out-
standing halls of learning. Working
hard to demonstrate to a new genera-
tion of students the value of liberal
learning . . . and giving them not just
the skills, but the values ... the ideals
... the insights . . . they will need to
solve the problems of life today and
tomorrow.

We all know that securing Agnes
Scott's future has been Marvin Perry's
overriding concern. The very best good-
bye gift we can present to the Perrys is
to respond generously to the Science
Building Campaign. You can send your
gifts to the Science Building Campaign
with a special note that they are in honor
of Marvin and Ellen Perry. Through an
overwhelming response we will express
our appreciation to the president and the
gracious first lady who have served us
well.

IS NUMBER ONE

A

By Jane Sutton Hicks '76 and Virginia Brown McKenzie '47

.GNES SCOTT COLLEGE'S first woman
president is now on campus. Self-assured, di-
rect, yet softened by a cordiality and a sense of
humor, Dr. Ruth Schmidt seems exceptionally
suited for this important role, and not at all
intimidated by it.

She is certainly a scholar, having been gradu-
ated from Augsburg College summa cum laude
and having advanced to the rank of full profes-
sor in her discipline, Spanish, during her teaching
career. Given, the alert mind; she is also tall,
slender, and poised. She moves, speaks, and
expresses herself in an easy and natural manner.
And she describes with great delight, her dark
eyes sparkling, the farewell party Wheaton Col-
lege gave her, "Tish Emerson, the president of
Wheaton, invited people 'to roller skate and eat
tacos with Ruth Schmidt,' and we had a won-
derful time because faculty and staff members,
who hadn't been on roller skates since they
were children, tried it. We had a rental truck of
shoe skates and the whole college community
joined in." Perhaps after she said, "Goodbye,"
to her friends at Wheaton, her memory flashed
back recalling the various incidents of her life
which prepared her for her career in education,
culminating in this college presidency.

Being a minister's child, she lived in several
different states during her early years: Iowa, Min-
nesota, North Dakota, and South Dakota; then
as she studied, preparing for her career in educa-
tion, she became acquainted with more midwestern

states: Missouri (M.A., University of Missouri,
1955), Illinois (Ph.D., University of Illinois,
1962), and Indiana (summer study). She lived
and studied one year in Spain also. During her
professional years she has added residence in
three more states: Virginia (Mary Baldwin Col-
lege), New York (State University of New
York Albany), and Massachussetts (Wheaton
College). She brings a rich accumulation of
life experiences to this southern campus.

As a high school student Ruth practiced the
French horn, one of the most difficult instru-
ments, four hours a day, becoming so good at it
that she was "first" in solo at the regional
festival in St. Joseph, Missouri. She was invited
to join the University of South Dakota band
and orchestra, even though she was just in high
school. She remembers touring with the college
orchestra and band, her own high school band,
and small ensembles presenting concerts and
playing for games in all kinds of weather.

She played the French horn through her mas-
ter's degree at the University of Missouri. And
then she sold it in 1955 to buy her train ticket
to her first college teaching job at Mary Baldwin
College in Virginia. There she met Martha Stack-
house Grafton, ASC '30, who was the academic
dean. Martha Grafton's twin daughters were
attending Agnes Scott. "That's when I first re-
member hearing of Agnes Scott College, through
Martha Grafton and other people at Mary Bald-
win," recalled Ruth Schmidt. "Later, when I

(CONTINUED)

2 AGNES SCOTT ALUMNAE QUARTERLY

became academic dean at State University of New
York Albany, I realized that Martha Graf-
ton of Mary Baldwin had been my role model,
the first woman I had ever known who was an
academic dean."

When she finally went to a women's college,
Wheaton, in Massachusetts, to be provost and
professor of Spanish, she initiated and received
federal funding and faculty support for a nation-
ally acclaimed project: Toward a Balanced
Curriculum. Dr. Schmidt's first visit to Agnes
Scott occurred as a result of this project. In the
spring of 1982 she was invited to lead a work-
shop during the College's Women and Mindpower
Symposium. Shortly thereafter, she was asked to
consider and decided to accept the presidency
of Agnes Scott.

Dr. Schmidt's acquaintance with the national
educational leadership is one of the many assets
she brings to Agnes Scott. She serves on the

"If there were true equality, I don't think
there would be a real need for women's
colleges, but we are far from that.

Board of Directors of the Association of Ameri-
can Colleges, as a member of the Board of
Trustees of Gordon College, and belongs to many
scholarly and honorary professional organizations.

Asked about the future of women's colleges
she emphasized, "I think that being involved
in women's education this day and age is the
most exciting thing one could be a part of.

"If there were true equality, I don't think

"... being involved in women's education
this day and age is the most exciting thing
one could be a part of. ' '

there would be a real need for women's col-
leges, but we are far from that. All the current
studies show that women in coeduational envi-
ronments do not have the same experience as
men in those environments. They are not en-
couraged in the same way. There are many sub-
tle pressures; the fact that women may attend
previously all-male institutions does not mean
that there is equal education. It is so important
for a woman to have a chance to step out of a
society which discourages her from developing
her full talents and to be in a setting which
removes that pressure of being in competition
with males to have all the leadership opportu-
nities and to be encouraged to work in the
sciences. These are the traditional reasons for
women's colleges' existence which still are via-
ble.

"Then there is a new opportunity, the kind of
thing I was involved in at Wheaton, which is
very exciting. Only at a women's college where
you have all people, whether they're male or
female, committed to women's education can
you get the kind of involvement in curriculum
change which is mandatory in light of all the
significant new research on women. Taking the
neglected half of the human race into account is
making a real difference in how many discip-
lines view their work and this must transform the
regular curriculum, as well as provide material

for separate women's studies courses. Realizing
that much of what we thought we knew about
almost every discipline needs revision presents a
tremendous shift in knowledge and it is very
tough work making the curriculum reflect their
change. Women's colleges' faculties are more

likely to see the need of this. They realize that
women's lives are involved, that women need
to know their own heritage. All of these things
are terribly exciting intellectually and needed at
coeducational institutions as well. But it's the
commitment of a women's college that makes
greater progress possible in a shorter time. For
the old and new reasons for women's colleges
I think it's the most exciting part of education
to be involved in today.

"It's a real privilege to attend a women's
college," she added, "because only 1% of
college students attend women's colleges and only
2% of women attend women's colleges. There
are 117 women's colleges still in existence, but
most are small and therefore, there is a small
segment of the college population which has
that privilege. "The achievement of women
from women's colleges has been notably higher,
more outstanding than the general population
of college-educated women."

President Schmidt sees her role at Agnes
Scott as the leader of a diverse community of
faculty, students, alumnae, parents, and friends.
"The president must be more than the idea per-

son; she must be both initiator and cohesive
force behind the action. She must be the vision-
ary, the inspiraiton, and the manager."

Concerning her visions for Agnes Scott, "I
see Agnes Scott as having such a fine heritage
as a quality liberal arts institution for women
that no change is needed in its basic mission.
However, the liberal arts, of course, change all
the time. If we look over time, what does it
mean to educate somebody liberally for the twenty-
first century? What is the translation of those
same concepts and skills needed for living in the
nineteenth century for a more exciting and
broadened era?" Then she observed, "For the
next several years we'll be laying the ground-
work for the different stages of our centennial
celebration."

Since she first arrived on campus. President
Schmidt has been eager to get to know every-

fits of attending a women's college, and the
opportunities of Atlanta, Agnes Scott is

one, and she wants to know the alumnae as well.
She enthusiastically suggests that the alumnae
become involved in a dialogue and an interac-
tion with the College, "There are so many
ways in which alumnae can help us know what
is going on in women's lives at many stages of
life. I'm sure we have alumnae who are in many
different life circumstances, and each one has
something to help us know about what an Agnes

Scott education involves, what is useful, what
would have been useful. Keeping the College in
mind in their regular activities as a current
thing is what I'd like to see, an ongoing rela-
tionship that means something to the alumnae
and certainly to the College."

Earnestly she added, "Alumnae assistance is
crucial to the future of the College. I would
welcome alumnae ideas on the means of spread-
ing the word about Agnes Scott. With the out-
standing education, the benefits of attending a
women's college, and the opportunities of At-
lanta, Agnes Scott is ideal for many young wo-
men nationwide. Far too many of those have
not been exposed to it. Although the alumnae
are always vital in the continuing financial
strength of the College, they are especially
needed now to help us find potential Agnes
Scott students and provide the incentive to en-
roll here."

As alumnae have been leaders and role mod-
els in their communities, Ruth Schmidt, herself
a strong leader and thinker, will provide an ex-
emplary role model for young women on cam-
pus. She brings to the College and to the
presidency the attributes of all of her predeces-
sors: an exceptional background in and commit-
ment to scholarship, a profound living faith, an
abundance of energy, and sustained vision. As
those before her have loyally served and con-
tributed to the greatness of the College, so will
she. As those before her have exemplified the
College's motto, "Supplement your faith with
virtue and virtue with knowledge," so does she.
These attributes, blended with her own special
gifts, both as a woman and as a person, assure
that the future of the College is in good hands.

College Honors Outstandin)

One of the highlights of each
Alumnae Day is the College's recog-
nition of several outstanding alum-
nae during the annual meeting. The
Awards Committee of the Associa-
tion's Executive Board selects these
special alumnae to be honored. To
the three fields of achievement pre-
viously considered, service to the
College, service to the community,
and distinguished career, a fourth
award, "Outstanding Young Alumna,"
was added this year for the first
time. At the annual meeting in Gaines
Chapel hand-lettered certificates were
presented to Sarah Fulton '21 for
service to the College, Giddy Erwin
Dyer '38 for service to the communi-
ty, Betty Fountain Edwards Gray
'35 for distinguished career, and Susan
Phillips '67 as outstanding young
alumna.

Sarah Fulton's vital and continu-
ing service to the College has been
demonstrated for more than sixty
years. In College, she was active in
Blackfriars, the debating society,
and the literary society. She received
her bachelor's degree in English,
Phi Beta Kappa, her master's in ed-
ucation from Emory in 1930, and
taught in the Atlanta school system
for thirty-eight years. During her
tenure as high school English teach-
er, she was an unofficial member
of our admissions staff and was in-
strumental in recruiting many young
women for the College.

She continues to be class secre-
tary and fund chairman and is chair-
man of the telephone committee of
the Decatur Alumnae Club. She has
been a daily help in phoning infor-
mation to the College concerning
changes of address and news.

Though crippled by arthritis, she
constantly drives herself in the serv-
ice of others through written and
telephone messages. She serves as
a cheerful, personal communicator
between alumnae and the College.

As a tireless community worker,
she has been active in the Decatur
Presbyterian Church, teachers' asso-
ciations, both active and retired, the
A.A.U.W., United Daughters of the
Confederacy, Georgia Conservancy,
and the DeKalb Historical Society.

Friend and supporter of Agnes
Scott's first four presidents, Sarah
looks forward to ongoing service
under our fifth president.

Giddy Erwin Dyer, long-time
Illinois legislator, received the com-
munity service award. In 1968 ASC
English major Giddy (Goudyloch) was
one of only four women elected to
the Illinois legislature. Her main leg-
islative accomplishments were in the
fields of health, education, conserva-
tion, and the special concerns of
women and children such as day care,
teenage pregnancy, domestic violence,
child support, and job training for
displaced homemakers. She was chief
Republican House sponsor of the Equal
Rights Amendment.

Prior to her election to the legis-
lature, her political activities included
serving on the National Council of
Republican Workshops, as a Repub-
lican precinct committeewoman,
and in 1960, becoming the first
woman elected to the Du Page County
Board.

All this political activity has come
from a woman who says that dur-
ing the fifties, she "filled the role of
the typical mother in suburbia."
Giddy was an active volunteer as
Cub Scout den mother. Girl Scout
leader, Sunday school teacher, story
lady at the library, legislative chair-
man for the PTA, member of A.A.U.W.,
and president of the League of Wo-
men Voters.

Giddy has received many honors
for her public service. In 1973 she
was named "Woman of the Year"
by Illinois Business and Professional
Women. In 1976 she was elected
by the highest vote of any legislator.

By Jet Harper '77

and in 1978, the American Asso-
ciation of University Women named
a fellowship in her honor.

The citation for distinguished ca-
reer was presented to Betty Fountain
Edwards Gray. Betty is known for her
research on the effects of gravitation
on growth and was among the first
American scientists to send experi-
ments into space. Working with Dr.
Stephen Gray, also of Emory Uni-
versity, Betty assisted with experi-
ments on wheat seedlings that were
launched aboard a NASA biosatellite
in 1967. As a result of this experi-
ment, Betty was invited by the Na-
tional Academy of Sciences to present
her findings before an international
meeting of the Committee on Space
Research (COSPAR). She is a mem-
ber of COSPAR today as well as a
consultant to NASA on proposed ex-
periments.

Another Phi Beta Kappa graduate
of Agnes Scott with majors in French
and history, Betty received her M.A.
and Ph.D. degrees from Emory in
1951 and 1963 and was a member
of the Emory faculty from 1963
until her retirement in 1981 as associate
professor of microscopic anatomy.
She has published numerous papers
and reports and produced most of
the illustrations for Biology, the
Science of Life by late biology
professor Miss MacDougall.

Betty's contribution and influence
have been recognized and cited. She
was named Woman of the Year in
the Professions in Atlanta in 1967
and she has begun her second term
on the Agnes Scott Alumnae Asso-
ciation's Executive Board. She is a
member of the vestry of All Saint's
Episcopal Church.

Susan Phillips, the first woman
appointee to the federal Commodity
Futures Trading Commission, is also
the first recipient of the Outstand-
ing Young Alumna Award. A mem-
ber of the University of Iowa faculty

since 1974, Susan served as associ-
ate vice president for finance and
university services from 1980 until
she was appointed to the CFTC in
January. Her areas of interest include
financial management, security and
capital market analysis, and options
and commodities futures.

She took a leave of absence from
1976 to 1978 to study economic
policy at the Securities and Exchange
Commission (SEC). During that time
she was a Brookings economic
policy fellow and an SEC eco-
nomics fellow.

Susan earned her M.S. degree in
finance and economics and her Ph.D.
degree in finance in 1971 and 1973
from Louisiana State University. She
was a math and economics major
at Agnes Scott. Author of numerous
articles, Susan recently collaborated
on a book, The SEC and the Public
Interest, with Richard Zecher.

In her position on the CFTC, Susan
is one of five commissioners over-
seeing the trading of contracts for
future delivery of such commodities
as lumber, treasury bills, precious
metals, corn, soybeans, and other
agricultural products.

Applauded by all present, these

Roxie Hagopian 1899-1982

By Dr. Marie H. Pepe

Roxie hagopian was a native New
Yorker, yet she was a citizen of the
world. She spoke several languages,
and she was always in the process
of learning still another. She received
her B.A. degree in music from Ober-
lin Conservatory in 1925, and later
she received a second B.A. degree in
German from Rollins College. She
received an M.A. degree in French
from Southwestern University in
Georgetown, Texas. She was the
recipient of three music fellowships
from the Juilliard Graduate School,
one of which was for opera study in
Dresden, Germany.

Ferdinand Warren' s portrait of Roxie Hagopian
directing the Agnes Scott Glee Club hangs in
Presser Hall.

For four years Miss Hagopian sang
with the Dusseldorf Opera Company,
and after she returned to the United
States she performed in concert, ra-
dio, and as an oratorio soloist. After
leaving the professional concert stage
she taught music at Rollins College,
at Seton Hall, at Southwestern Uni-
versity in Texas, and at Daniel Baker
College in Brownwood, Texas. She
joined the music faculty at Agnes
Scott College in 1950 as an associ-
ate professor of music, teaching voice
and directing the Glee Club. She
retired from the College in 1964.

She was a dedicated teacher, a
devoted member of the Druid Hills
Presbyterian Church, and an active
leader in the Atlanta community. She
was a founding member of the Pro-
Mozart Society, a member of the
Goethe Institute, and a member of
the Atlanta Committee for International
Visitors.

Apart from her professional and
academic contributions. Miss Hag-
opian will perhaps be best remembered
for her quick wit and boundless
enthusiasm for life. Several years be-
fore her retirement Mr. Ferdinand
Warren painted a semi-abstract picture
of her conducting the Agnes Scott
Glee Club with a great fury of wav-
ing. She loved the painting and al-
ways referred to it as her "posterior
for posterity." That painting hangs
in Presser Hall, and she was always
delighted to see it on her visits to
the campus after her retirement. Later
Mr. Warren did a second similar
painting for her, and that painting
was always the focal point of her
living room. For the many people
who knew her and loved her, her
wit and enthusiasm will be greatly
missed, for all who came within
her orbit were made a little more
aware of the joyousness of life.

Contributions may be made to the Roxie Hagopian Voice Scholarship Fund.

8 AGNES SCOTT ALUMNAE QUARTERLY

By Dr. Margaret W. Pepperdene

Elizabeth G. Zenn 1922-1982

Classical scholars sometimes refer
to a colleague as either "a Greek"
or "a Roman" whenever her charac-
ter and personality strongly resem-
ble those distinctive traits associated
with one or the other of these an-
cient peoples. Elizabeth Gould Zenn,
Professor of Classical Languages and
Literatures and chairman of the depart-
ment at Agnes Scott College, was
described by her former colleague,
Professor Kathryn Glick, as unques-
tionably "a Greek." Professor Zenn
had an insatiable intellectual curiosity,
a flexibility and subtlety of mind, an
aesthetic and intellectual delight in
the sounds and senses of words, and
an unfailing eye for proportion, har-
mony, and grace in nature and in
art. A very dry, icy martini, an
elegant long-necked poodle, an ex-
quisitely rendered piano or violin
concerto, a powerful Homeric line,
an epigram of Martial, a smartly exe-
cuted double play by the Pittsburgh
Pirates, or a Steinway in perfect tune
all served essentially, if not equal-
ly, to satisfy her sense of beauty,
intellectual and physical. Like the
Athenian, she scorned the "barbari-
an," not for his ignorance but for
his refusal to learn, his intellectual
clumsiness, his artistic and human
gracelessness, the narrowness and
shallowness of his interests, and his
need to seek strength and assurance
not in himself as an individual but
in conformity to those mediocrities
of taste and learning set by his
society. Like the Greeks, too, she
humanized everything that would
"swim[s] into her ken," that is,
every creation, animate or inanimate,
that came into her particular vision
and became part of her life. Her
first automobile, a well-behaved
1947 Plymouth that was responsive
to her need for freedom when cam-
pus "pen fever" threatened to smother
her, she fondly called "Libba." To
a one-eyed campus stray, sometime

companion to the three-legged can-
ine belonging to a colleague, she
gave occasional bed and board and
the name "Antigonus." Her most
cherished possession, the Steinway
she purchased just this past Christmas,
she named "Rudy" for the musi-
cian she most admired.

The discriminating quality of
Elizabeth Zenn's mind, the amplitude
and diversity of her learning, and
the insistent individualism of her per-
son made her a rare and valuable
(in the root sense of that word)
colleague. She read all the ancient

WOMEN AND THE CURRICULUM

* A Room of Her Own'

By Dr. Ayse Ilgaz Carden '66

"Women and the College Curricu-
lum" was the focus of the third
and last segment of Agnes Scott's
1981-82 "Women and Mindpower"
symposia. The series of events included
two lectures, a panel discussion, a
"Hub Talk," and a weekend work-
shop for the faculty.

President Mary Metz of Mills Col-
lege, Oakland, California, addressed
the campus community during the
Mortar Board Convocation on
April 14. President Metz's speech,
entitled "A Room of Her Own: Women
and the Curriculum." reviewed the
problems women have had to face
in their struggles to achieve and
explored Elizabethan and Colonial
realities about women's lives and
"the fundamental problems that
have thwarted women's creativity
through the centuries." She noted that
around the turn of the century, when
the first women's colleges were
founded and men's colleges began to
open their doors to women, the pre-
vailing conceptions of women and
their roles in life continued to be
very narrowly defined, and thus
women continued to be educated for
supportive roles and not for autonomy
and independence.

President Metz continued, "It has
only been in the last decade that
feminists have begun to assail these
fundamental assumptions about wo-
men . . . and to eliminate biases in our
efforts to observe, to analyze, and
to describe reality."

Tracing the developmental stages
from the creation of new courses em-
phasizing women to questioning the
existing tenets of all disciplines, Pres-
ident Metz argues that the final
stage of "transforming the standard
curriculum so that the new knowl-
edge about women is infused in all
courses of study" provides the great-
est challenge to education. Women's
colleges, by virtue of their histori-

Mills College President Met: and Professor Carden

cal commitment to equality of women
and women's achievements, have
"the greatest potential for contribut-
ing to an educational reform of im-
mence magnitude." "As we move
to incorporate new knowledge about
women into established disciplines,"
she stated, "we have the opportu-
nity to set forth a model for other
colleges a fully integrated curriculum,
free of sex bias."

Professor Catharine Stimpson, Pro-
fessor of English at Douglas College,
focused on the history and the pres-
ent status of women's studies in her
lecture. Professor Stimpson, who
is also the chairperson of the Board
of Scholars of Ms magazine, set
out to "outline those questions that
unite women's studies; to show a
matrix of ideas that organizes it."
She pointed out that the three "am-
bitions" of women's studies scholars
have been "the deconstruction of
error, the reconstruction of fact, (and)
the construction of theory."

A panel discussion took place
April 15 on the topic of "Women
and the College Curriculum." In ad-
dition to Professors Metz and

Stimpson, the participants were Mar-
garet Holt (University of Georgia),
Charlotte McClure (Georgia State
University), Carolyn Jones-Royster
(Spelman College), and Patricia
Stringer (National Humanities Faculty,
Inc.). The moderator was Miriam
Drucker, Agnes Scott College, Charles
A. Dana Professor of Psychology.

The weekend faculty workshop
continued the focus on the college
curriculum. Provost Ruth Schmidt
(who is now Agnes Scott's president)
and Professors Kathleen Adams,
Alexander Bloom, and Leonard Hassol
of Wheaton College in Norton, Mas-
sachusetts, discussed the "Wheaton
experience" in the integration of
women's studies into the college cur-
riculum. Wheaton's ongoing effort
to balance the curriculum is being
supported by a large grant from the
Fund for the Improvement of Post
Secondary Education. Forty members
of the Agnes Scott faculty participated
in the workshop.

"Women and Mindpower" video-
tapes are available for alumnae club
programs. Please contact the Alumnae
Office if interested.

10 AGNES SCOTT ALUMNAE QUARTERLY

SCIENCE BUILDING CAMPAIGN

Do We Have Your Number?

By Bonnie Brown Johnson '70

FOR SIX nights during May, Agnes
Scott alumnae from the metropolitan
Atlanta area participated in the sev-
enth "Agnes Scott Is Calling." Each
night nine to seventeen alumnae,
recruited by Jo Allison Smith Brown
'62, Alumnae Association projects
chairman, phoned all over the coun-
try asking their fellow alumnae to
pledge to the College's ongoing
Science Building Campaign.

Contact was made with over 500
alumnae. One hundred thirty-nine
made pledges of a definite amount
to the campaign totaling $17,690.
Another 327 alumnae indicated an
intention to give but did not spec-
ify an amount. If there is a reasona-
ble response from this group, the
total for the six nights could reach
$50,000.

The Trust Company Bank again
provided the facilities for the phon-
athon and alumnae gave their time
for this undertaking. The College is
indebted to the following alumnae
who made these calls:

Caroline Alexander, Jane King
Allen, Candace Hodges Bell, Jeanne
Levie Berry, Janet Bolen, Jo Allison
Smith Brown, Nancy Green Carmi-
chael, Georgia Gillis Carroll, Doris
Dalton Crosby, Betty Derrick, Leland
Draper, Mary Caroline Lindsay East-

Kitsie Bassett.

In addition to the satisfaction of
raising funds for the Science Cam-
paign, all of us who participated en-
joyed the chats we had with alumnae
in states from Florida to Washington.

Of course, the College is also in-
debted to those of you on the other
end of the line who made generous
contributions to the College and
shared your news for the Alumnae
Quarterly.

CHANGING OF THE GUARD

By Jackie Simmons Gow '52

Always the level of activity on the
Agnes Scott campus is impressive;
this past year it has been unbeliev-
able! As you know, two extremely
important duties were added to the
already busy lives of the administra-
tion, faculty, students, trustees, and
alumnae: the search for a new president
and the capital funds campaign to
renovate the science hall. Alumnae
participation in both undertakings
has been outstanding.

For the campaign Laura Whitner
Dorsey '35 has been the fund chair-
man of the Agnes Scott Alumnae
Association and Dorothy Holloran Ad-
dison '43 is the campaign chairman
of the greater Atlanta area. Already
in Atlanta alone we have more than
sixty-five alumnae who have been
asked to make calls on other Atlanta
area alumnae. Letters are going out
and solicitations will continue in
order to meet the challenge of the
Kresge grant.

And again this year the phonathon
was a productive means of soliciting
funds. For six nights in May, alum-
nae (nine to seventeen in number
each night) telephoned several hun-
dred other alumnae throughout the
country asking for pledges. Bonnie
Brown Johnson '70, director of the
Agnes Scott Fund, and Jo Allison
Smith Brown '62, phonathon chairman,
tell us a reasonable response to ex-
pect from those who indicated an
intention to give could be $50,000.

Also twelve cities around the coun-

try were visited by President Perry
and Virginia Brown McKenzie '47.
They met with hundreds of alumnae
and their family members, who were
enthusiastically responsive to the slide
show presentation and discussions of
the College's campaign plans.

This has been an equally active
year for those alumnae who served
with the Advisory Committee to the
Presidential Search Committee. The
chairman of Agnes Scott's Board of
Trustees invited Jean Salter Reeves
'59, Susan Skinner Thomas '74, and
me to serve on this Advisory Com-
mittee. Our duties included reading
over 130 folders of prospective can-
didates! Then we and seven other
Atlanta alumnae met with each of
the presidential candidates for an hour's
interview and discussion. This pro-
vided an excellent method for us to
share our ideas and impressions with
each other and then, in turn, with
the Search Committee. Each of us
is delighted with the Board of Trus-
tees' choice of Ruth Schmidt. We
know that all you alumnae are anx-
ious to meet and welcome her as
Agnes Scott's fifth president.

In closing, may I thank you sin-
cerely for the opportunity you've given
me to serve these two years as
president of your Alumnae Associa-
tion. It has been a full, marvelous
experience and I look forward to many
more rewarding years working with
you for our great College.

By Jean Salter Reeves '59

THESE ARE times of transition and
anticipation at Agnes Scott. The
College community welcomes the ar-
rival of President Ruth Schmidt; the
science building renovation progresses
toward the goal of benefiting stu-
dents immediately; and a new presi-
dent of the Alumnae Association
assumes responsibilities which I con-
sider both an honor and a challenge!

Commitment to quality education
remains the constant at Agnes Scott,
as does the dedication of thousands
of devoted alumnae. The Alumnae
Association is eager to serve you
and remains open to your thoughts
and opinions, which can be directed
to me personally or to the Quarterly.

In turn, the Alumnae Association
urges your responsiveness to the con-
cerns of the College. Specifically, I
would suggest that support of Agnes
Scott include not only those impor-
tant spoken expressions of apprecia-
tion for her influence, but also a
financial commitment, which gives
tangible evidence of the pride we
share in the College's past and the
faith we hold for her future. There
is perhaps no greater witness to the
value and viability of an institution
of higher learning than the continued
loyalty of those it has educated!

I look forward to the coming two
years and sincerely appreciate your
confidence. As we work for Agnes
Scott, I am excited by the assurance
that together, we are making an in-
vestment in excellence!

Alumnae Weekend visit to the cam-
pus. Enjoying the informal sharing
of impressions of ASC was a large
group of alumnae, friends, and pros-
pective students invited for luncheon
at the house of Catherine Mitchell
Lynn '27. Ann wrote that "Katie
Lynn's lovely home and her hospi-

Speaker Staven and Lillian Beall Lumpkin '52
with her grandchild

tality provided a wonderful setting
for our luncheon. Her floral arrange-
ments throughout the house were
magnificent! Our meeting was a
delight for everyone." Several of
Ann's friends and family were the
chefs, and everyone joined in the

most interesting," The history pro-
fessor enjoyed the visit himself.

Richmond

A NOVEL TOUCH at Richmond's big
meeting April 17 honored the speak-
er, Dr. Alice Cunningham, professor
of chemistry. Tiny but real test tubes
containing purple violets decorated
all the name tags. "Dr. Cunningham
was delightful," wrote the president,
Lindsay Watt March '72. "Her
anecdotes and her thoughtful presen-
tation concerning 'Women in Science'
were gratifying and challenging." The

speaker also had an enjoyable day
and was impressed with the alums'
interest in the College and recruit-
ing. A carload drove over from
Charlottesville and swelled the crowd,
which numbered twenty-five. "Each
one introduced herself," wrote
Lindsey, "and shared something
about herself. The wide variety of
occupations and interests surprised
and pleased us all. We had every-
thing from a dog obedience trainer
to a guest lecturer from Weight
Watchers, from an Apple computer
expert to the president of Rich-
mond's quilting guild!"

Roanoke

"DR. DRUCKER was a wonderful
guest and speaker," was the report

chairman of Agnes Scott's Depart-
ment ot English, who spoke at a
luncheon at the Clearwater Beach
Yacht Club November 21. Her title
was "Now, That's a Secret," a reading
from Katherine Anne Porter's story
"The Grave." Club Secretary Camille

tening to Dr. Pepperdene reminded
me so much of the pleasure of
learning and hearing an analytical
essay on a fascinating story." Kath-
erine Doster Stoddard '68 is club
president; Martha Fortson Sanders
'53, vice president; and Alsie Bell
Chutchman '68, treasurer.

Tri-Cities

ALUMNAE IN the Tri-Cities area of
Tennessee and Virginia were enthusi-
astic over their luncheon meeting
April 17 at the Johnson City Country
Club and Dr. Edward McNair's

"Anecdotes of Agnes Scott." His
listeners found him "a delightful
speaker," Club President Martha
Campbell Williams '62 wrote. "His
amusing stories filled us with senti-
mental yearning for our College days.
He is marvelous. It could not have
been more fun." Next year's meet-
ing will be in Bristol, Tenn., with
Lila McGeachy Ray '59 serving as
chairman.

West Georgia

A SLIDE PROGRAM on Agnes Scott's
student desert biology trip was pre-
sented for West Georgia alumnae

languages with ease and spoke most
of the modern European ones with
fluency. She was assiduous in her
efforts not "to lose" (as she put it)
any of these languages. We used to
talk periodically of offering together
a course in Old Norse so that we
could "keep" that ancient Germanic
tongue and give our students the
chance to read some of the remarka-
ble tales told in it. Just a few years
ago, she directed an Independent Study
paper dealing with the language of
Marie de France's Lai du Chievre-
fueil. At about the same time she
was re-reading Chaucer, from The
Book of the Duchess through The
Canterbury Tales, doing it, as she
said, "just for fun." In the same
spirit she constantly read in contem-
porary French, German, and Italian
literature, finding a particular delight
in the stories of Gunther Grass, Ign-
azio Silone, and Alberto Moravia, to
name but a few. She moved natu-
rally from her study of languages
and literatures into studies of histo-
ry, archeology, philosophy, art, and
architecture, but her interests were
not limited to the arts and humani-
ties. She was enviably knowledgea-
ble about the sciences, both pure and
natural. She knew the language of
science and its meaning as well as
she knew the other languages she
commanded. She was intrigued by
every new theory or discovery, and
modern technology delighted her. For
her, computers were an exciting game,
however serious, which she played
with characteristic skill.

Of all the areas of learning that
absorbed her, the one that nurtured
and sustained her, that gave her the
deepest personal satisfaction, was mu-
sic. Her knowledge of music was
legendary on this campus. She knew
its history and theory; she could
tell the history and structure of musi-
cal instruments; she understood the
science of acoustics; she knew the
score of any piece of music that
she cherished; and she was familiar
with the strengths, weaknesses, and

particular characteristics of every
professional performer in this coun-
try and abroad. It would hardly be
an exaggeration to say that she at-
tended every concert in Atlanta these
past thirty years. For her, Opera
Week was a feast! Although she
deprecated her own talent and always
refused to perform publicly, she was
an accomplished pianist. No matter
how crowded her day might be with
teaching numerous classes, advising
her students, taking her daily swim
in the campus pool, or attending a
committee meeting, she always found
time to practice. Nothing in the last
year of her life gave her more pleas-
ure than helping to establish the
Kirk Music Series at Agnes Scott.
Fittingly, President Ruth Schmidt
has announced that the 1982-83 Se-
ries will be dedicated to Elizabeth
Zenn.

Professor Zenn's mastery of all
the disciplines of liberal studies, her
rich store of knowledge, and her
singular enthusiasm for the intellectual
life made her an exciting, if some-
times exhausting, teacher. As Direc-
tor of the Summer Study Program
in Italy, she gave her students an
incomparabe course in Roman Art
and Architecture. According to Pro-
fessor Marie Pepe who taught with
her on the Program, she climbed
through the ruins of Rome "like a
mountain goat," her students (who
called her "Zip") panting behind
her in the sultry summer heat. She
knew every stone in every archeo-
logical site they visited, just as she
knew every street and alley of the
Eternal City and the offerings of ev-

ery museum and gallery in Italy. It
is no wonder that students who made
this trip with her remember it as
one of the richest experiences of their
lives.

Professor Zenn was brought to Agnes
Scott College in 1947 by President
James Ross McCain. She had com-
pleted the A.B. degree at Allegheny
College, where she was elected to
membership in Phi Beta Kappa, and
the M.A. and Ph.D. degrees in Clas-
sical Studies at the University of
Pennsylvania (1945; 1947). She was
awarded a Ford Foundation Fellow-
ship in 1955-56 for study in the
American Academy in Rome; in
1962-63 she was invited to teach on
the faculty of Haverford College;
and in 1968-69 she was Director of
the Junior Year Program for students
from American colleges and univer-
sities affiliated with the Intercollegiate
Center for Classical Studies in Rome.
She devoted many summers to visiting
archeological sites in Italy, Greece,
Turkey, Iran, and North Africa, and
in 1978-79 she conducted archeol-
ogical research at the American School
of Classical Studies in Athens. She
was an active member of the Archeo-
logical Institute of America and the
American Philological Association and
served on the Council of the Inter-
collegiate Center for Classical Stud-
ies in Rome and on the Advisory
Council of the American Academy
in Rome.

Her death in Washington, D.C.,
on August 21, 1982, after an ill-
ness of many months, marked a loss
to the faculty and students of this
College that cannot be measured.

22 AGNES SCOTT ALUMNAE QUARTERLY

FUND REPORT/JULY 1, 1981 - JUNE 30, 1982

Good Work, Alumnae,
And We Need Still Morel

By Dr. Paul M. McCain

This past year Agnes Scott alumnae
and friends have had the renovation of
Campbell Science Hall as their major
development project. Unless otherwise
designated, all gifts to the Agnes Scott
Fund were used for this purpose. This
was in accordance with the College's
long-time policy for using these unre-
stricted funds where they were most
needed. All gifts from an alumna, how-
ever, are always credited to her class
total.

As you will remember, the urgent pri-
ority to modernize the Science Hall ne-
cessitated raising $3,000,000. As of June
30, a total of $1,674,409 was pledged
of which $907,021 represented the sup-
port from 1,706 alumnae. As Chairman
of the Science Hall Campaign as well as
of the Agnes Scott Board of Trustees,
L. L. Gellerstedt, Jr., of Atlanta had the
assistance of 100 alumnae in contacting
alumnae and friends.

Laura Whitner Dorsey '35 of Atlanta,
as Alumnae Chairman of the Agnes Scott
Fund, led a team of 59 class fund chair-
men and 228 class agents in writing
alumnae for their support.

During 1981-82 Agnes Scott received
$893,188 from 2,347 alumnae, repre-
senting 26 percent of the active alumnae.
This' amount includes gifts to the Agnes
Scott Fund, Million Dollar Challenge
Fund, and the Science Campaign. Included
in this figure are bequests of $171,111
from five alumnae.

This past year the combined gifts to
Agnes Scott from 3,669 alumnae, stu-
dents, parents, friends, businesses, and
foundations totaled $1,405,023. This
amount includes all gifts for endowment,
science campaign, scholarships, equip-
ment, and many other improvements.

This year 96 business firms contributed
$27,858 to Agnes Scott as they matched
the gifts of 180 donors who were
employees or had other qualifications.
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, foundations,
and businesses who made their gifts di-
rectly to Agnes Scott are listed on the

Renovation of Campbell Science Hall has been the major development project this past year.

following pages. These donors made their
gifts to the College from July 1, 1981,
through June 30, 1982. Gifts received
after the latter date will be shown in
the report for 1982-83. The names of
individuals who have only made pledges
will be shown as they make their pay-
ments.

The Tower Circle is that group of
individuals whose gifts were $1,000 or
more, the Colonnade Club includes those
who gave $500 or more, the Quadrangle
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 Of-
fice know of any corrections which may
be needed so that we can be sure our
records are accurate.

To worker and donor alike, the en-
tire College community welcomes this
opportunity to thank you and express
appreciation for your fine response!

KRESGE CHALLENGES COLLEGE

$900,000 in New Gifts and Pledges
Needed by June 15, 1983

Agnes scott college has been
awarded a $250,000 challenge grant
by The Kresge Foundation of Troy,
Michigan, according to Lawrence L.
Gellerstedt Jr. , chairman of the Col-
lege 's Board of Trustees. The grant
is to be used toward the $3,000,000
modernization of the College's
science hall.

To claim the Kresge grant, Agnes
Scott must raise by June 15, 1983,
another $900,000 in new gifts and
pledges designated for the science
hall.

Renovation of Agnes Scott's
science hall is necessary to keep
pace with changes in science teaching
laboratories that have occurred since
the building was constructed in 1951.
Heightened student interest in biolo-
gy, chemistry, and physics has also
made improvement of the building's
facilities necessary, according to Julia
T. Gary, dean of the College. Thirty
to 40 percent of each freshman class
have indicated great interest in careers
in science and technology.

Alumnae who have not yet pledged
gifts to the Science Building Cam-
paign are urged to respond.

Toward the original $3,000,000
goal of the Campaign, the College
has already received in gifts and
pledges $1,850,000. The Kresge
challenge grant of $250,000 may
be collected by the College if an
additional $900,000 in gifts and
pledges designated for the science
building are received by June 15,
1983. Pledges made before that date
may be paid over a three year
period.

SUMMER 1982 6"

From the Director

Dr. Schmidt is the Best Person for Now

Agnes Scott College, in the 93 years of its
existence, has had only five presidents. Each
one has been the best for his or her time.

Frank Henry Gaines, former minister of the
Decatur Presbyterian Church, served as Agnes
Scott's chief executive officer from 1889 to
1923. According to a history of the College
written in 1939 by James Ross McCain, Dr.
Gaines helped found the "new school for girls
and young ladies" because he "felt it to be of
supreme importance that the wives and moth-
ers of a community should be educated." The
education was provided, and thus Agnes Scott's
tradition was begun. Many of these informed
young ladies not only raised enlightened fami-
lies but also extended their influence into the
civic, educational, and religious life of their
communities. Some devoted their entire efforts
to careers of service and personal achievement.

Following Gaines, James Ross McCain, the
lawyer, who also had a Ph.D. in history, served
as a wise and pragmatic administrator through
the difficult years of the depression. He suc-
ceeded in a development drive that greatly
increased the endowment of the College. His
involvement in educational affairs, both locally
and nationally, enhanced the College's image of
academic excellence. Early in his presidency,
Agnes Scott received an invitation to establish
a chapter of Phi Beta Kappa.

Then in 1951, following World War II,
through the international era of the Cold War,
the Korean Conflict, the confrontations of inte-
gration in Southern schools and of the turbu-
lance on college campuses, Wallace M. Alston,
the Presbyterian minister, warm, kindly father
figure endured and prevailed. He led, with love,

the College in its continued and successful
quest for financial support and academic excel-
lence until his retirement in 1973.

Following was the decade of Marvin B.Perry,
Jr., educator, athlete, former naval command-
er, and college administrator. He came to the
presidency when declining enrollments were a
national problem and employed marketing pro-
cedures in his efforts to recruit more students.
He added innovative options in the curriculum,
such as the certificate for business and the
dual degree program. During his presidency
the Return to College program flourished and
Agnes Scott generated its first Rhodes Scholar.
Through encouragement of women administra-
tors during his presidency, he provided a time
of transition toward the ascendency of a woman
whose time has come.

Finally, the Board of Trustees has validated
the worth of women by selecting, as Agnes
Scott's fifth president, Ruth A. Schmidt. Ap-
proachable, outgoing, scholarly, and organized,
she has come to the campus to initiate, direct,
and effect the work of the College. Her leader-
ship provides the ultimate role model for col-
lege students and alumnae.

In the article, "A Woman is Number One,"
she is quoted as requesting alumnae to speak
out, to write letters about themselves, about
being a woman, about their Agnes Scott experi-
ence. She encourages ongoing communication
between the alumnae and the College. This
valuable expression by alumnae of Agnes Scott
College could be the nucleus of an important
"Letters" section in the Quarterly. Do think
about it and express yourselves.

Kresge Offers Challenge Grant

The kresge foundation has offered Agnes Scott a
$250,000 grant if the College secures by June 15,
1983, gifts and pledges for the last $900,000 of its
$3,000,000 campaign for renovating the Science Hall.

Kresge made its first challenge grant to Agnes Scott in
1950 when the Foundation gave $35,000 to help equip the
then new Science Hall. Since then Kresge has made grants
toward the construction of Dana, the organ in Maclean, and
the renovation of both the Library and Buttrick.

To obtain this grant Campaign Chairman L. L. Geller-
stedt, Jr., encourages all alumnae and friends to join in
pledging the necessary funds.
