What a year this has been! Starting in 
January, Oglethorpe University has been 
celebrating the 175'^ anniversary of its 
founding in 1835, and the events of the 
year have been appropriately upbeat 
and productive. Of course everything has 
changed since OU's founding  the same 
year Darwin arrived at the Galapagos 
Islands, and the public debt of the United 
States dropped to zero (!)  but, we like to 
think that with every year, we get stronger, 
healthier, and sturdier. 

In that spirit, with President Larry Schall's 
strong leadership, the Board of Trustees at 
their spring meeting approved new and 
ambitious strategic initiatives for Oglethorpe 
that will serve as our roadmap for the 
coming years. At the heart of the plan lies 
our enduring mission  the commitment to 
broadly educate young men and women 
in the liberal arts and sciences so that they 
can think critically and independently and 
learn to express ideas persuasively. The plan 
also sets Oglethorpe on a path to fulfill more 
ambitiously than ever the goals to "make a 
life, make a living, make a difference." 

Building on Oglethorpe's unique advantage 
of being a liberal arts school in the great 
city of Atlanta, each initiative is designed to 
truly capitalize on our strengths  increased 
commitment to the environment, the arts, civic 
engagement, and experiential learning. You 
will read about some of our engagement 
in these areas in this issue. With the help of 
hundreds of volunteer leaders and committed 
alumni, we are also preparing to fund 
enhancements to three hugely important assets 
on our campus: the athletics center, the student 
center, and on academic learning center. 

The ability to be ambitious and forge ahead 
is made possible by our current successes, 
hiere are some of the recent highlights: 



 Enrollment for this fall is up, with more than 
280 new students  most of them incoming 
freshmen  already committed to attend 
our school. 

 We will enthusiastically welcome five 
new faculty members in August. You will 
read about them in the fall Carillon. 

 We're thrilled that Michelle Hall will join 
the OU senior administrative team in July, 
as the new Vice President of Campus Life. 
Michelle comes from Agnes Scott College 
where she was most recently promoted 

to Associate Vice President for Student 
Life and Community Relations. You'll meet 
her in the fall as well. 

 The Annual Fund is pacing ahead of 
past years end could set an all-time goal 
for alumni participation. 

 For the fourth consecutive year, 
Oglethorpe was named to the President's 
Fiigher Education Community Service 
Fionor Roll for extraordinary commitment 
to community service. (See page 18.| 

 Oglethorpe launched a new initiative in 
partnership with a social investment firm, 
to start Fellows for India's Affordable 
Private Schools, on education project to 
help schools. (See page 25.) 

 Alumni Weekend was a lively success 
with alumni spanning 58 classes  from 
1952 to 2010  returning to campus from 
as far away as China. (See page 28.| 

 The Oglethorpe 2009 NCAA Men's 
Golf Championship Team recently 
received their championship rings for 

the first ever notional athletics championship 
for Oglethorpe. 

Since its earliest days, Oglethorpe has 
grown from only 25 students to on enrollment 
today of 1,100. Institutions, like people, 
evolve over their lives and the healthiest 
institutions find a way to evolve organically. 
So, while remaining rooted in our rich history, 
we ore  as stormy petrels are known to 
do  determinedly flying forward.

JEO? 

JAMES EDWARD OGLETHORPE, FOUNDER OF THE COLONY OF GEORGIA, WAS BORN 
ON DECEMBER 22, 1696, IN YORKSHIRE, ENGLAND. AFTER GRADUATING FROM ETON 
AND CORPUS CHRISTI COLLEGE, OXFORD UNIVERSITY, OGLETHORPE BEGAN A MILITARY 
CAREER IN 1717, FIGHTING AGAINST THE TURKS UNDER PRINCE EUGENE OF SAVOY. 



P 



CHAMPIONING THE OPPRESSED 

From 1722 to 1743, Oglethorpe served in 
the British House of Commons, gaining 
a reputation as the champion of the 
oppressed. He pressed for the elimination 
of English prison abuses and, in 1732, 
defended the North American colonies' 
right to trade freely with Britain and the 
other colonies. 



The prison reforms Oglethorpe had 
championed soon inspired him to 
propose a charity colony in American. 
On June 9, 1732, the crown granted a 
charter to the Trustees for Establishing 
the Colony of Georgia. Oglethorpe 
himself led the first group of 114 
colonists on the irig^Xe Anne, landing at 
the site of today's Savannah on February 
1, 1733. The original charter banned 
slavery and granted religious freedom, 
leading to the foundation of a Jewish 
community in Savannah. 

THE BAnLE OF BLOODY MARSH 

In 1742, Oglethorpe called upon his 
military experience and Georgia's 
fledgling militia to defend the colony from 
a Spanish invasion on St. Simons Island. 
Oglethorpe and his militia defeated the 
invaders in the Battle of Bloody Marsh, 
which is credited as the turning point 
between England and Spain's fight for 
control of southeastern North America. 



AN OPPONENT OF SLAVERY 

In 1746, Oglethorpe was falsely accused 
of treason by a disgruntled military office 
and driven from public life, although he 
retained his title as general and at the 
time of the American Revolution was 
the senior office in the British Army. He 
did not publicly comment on the war, 
but in private he tried to convince the 
government to negotiate a truce in 1777- 
1778. Throughout his life, Oglethorpe 
remained an outspoken opponent of 
slavery in the colonies. 

James Edward Oglethorpe died on June 
30, 1785. Three weeks before his death he 
called on John Adams, newly appointed 
ambassador to England from the United 
States of America, to express his "great 
esteem and regard for America" the new 
country in whose creation he had played 
and important role.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY, 
OGLETHORPE CRYPT! 

SEVENTY YEARS AGO THIS YEAR, THE GREAT STAINLESS STEEL DOOR OF 
OGLETHORPE'S CRYPT OF CIVILIZATION IN THE BASEMENT OF HEARST HALL 
WAS SEALED BY THE LATE OU PRESIDENT THORNWELL JACOBS. THE CRYPT 
IS NOT TO BE OPENED UNTIL 8113 A.D, 

In 1936, inspired by the Egyptian pyramids, Jacobs came up with the unique idea of 
seaHng artifacts for posterity and opening them at a certain time. He calculated 8113 
from the Egyptian calendar, which began in 4241 B.C. Exactly 6177 years had elapsed 
since 1936. Jacobs projected the same period of time forward, thus arriving at 8113 for 
the Crypt's opening. 

The Westinghouse Company, preparing for the 1938 World's Fair, appropriated Jacobs' 
idea. George Pendray, a publicist with a way for modernist words (he coined the term 
Laundromat) came up with the new term Time Capsule. The Westinghouse project 
was seven feet long, literally capsule shaped, and buried in New York City, not to be 
opened for 5000 years. 

Inside the Oglethorpe Crypt, which was once the location of an indoor swimming 
pool, are artifacts meant to be representative of American life, many of them 
hermetically sealed with advice from the U.S. Bureau of Standards. Everything 
from dental floss to cancer information to the state of the world on May 28, 1940 
(Hitler was overrunning France) is in the Crypt. There is a special machine with 
cartoon instructions to teach the generation of 8113 A.D. how to speak our English. 
Imitating the pyramids, there is even a specially sealed bottle of beer in the Crypt, 
donated by the Anheuser-Busch Company. 

The Guinness Book of World Records has called the Oglethorpe Crypt of Civilization 
"the first successful attempt to bury a record for any future inhabitants or visitors to 
the planet Earth." 

By Dr. Paul Stephen Hudson '72 , Historian Laureate. Dr. Hudson is co-founder of the 
International Time Capsule Society. He recently was featured in a segment about the 
Crypt on the History Channel's "Life After People."

R HISTORY 




"The architecture of an institution of learning should 
be a constant source of delight and inspiration to its 
students, teaching quietly but surely the highest ideals 
of life. Not less important are the personal surroundings 



GOTHIC GRAY STONE AND MORTAR: 

TfAE %niMT f ACUITY AT OGLETHORPE 



In a memorandum of May 6, 1914, to his 
Executive Committee, Thornwell Jacobs 
set enduring architectural standards for 
Oglethorpe University. The campus was to 
serve as a "living memorial" to the founder 
of Georgia, James Edward Oglethorpe, 
an alumnus of Corpus Christi College 
of Oxford University. There could be no 
other choice for the design of Oglethorpe 
University. "I refer to the pointed style 
of architecture known as Gothic," 
Jacobs declared. 




Another inspiration for Jacobs was his 
alma mater, Princeton University, with its 
gothic arches, mullioned windows, tower 
forms and craggy walls with engraved 
shields. "You can put in the face of a 
building," he wrote, "dignity, reverence, 
honesty and beauty." A fitting material 
for gothic architecture is granite, and 
Jacobs managed to secure donations 
of high quality stone from Elberton, 
Georgia. Emphasizing solidity and a 



vision of the finest, Jacobs wanted steel 
frames, Vermont slate roofs, and Indiana 
limestone trim. 

Jacobs hired the distinguished Atlanta 
firm of Thomas Henry Morgan and John 
Robert Dillon to design Oglethorpe. 
Morgan, considered "dean of Atlanta 
architects," executed many High Victorian 
landmarks in the city, including Agnes 
Scott Hall (1891) and North Avenue 
Presbyterian Church (1898). Morgan & 
Dillon associate architect Walter Thomas 
Downing designed Sacred Heart Church 
(1897) and the elegant Healey Building 
(1913). From 1915 to 1928 Morgan & Dillon 
with Downing designed three gothic 
granite halls on a landscaped quadrangle 
with an impressive driveway, all listed on 
the National Register of Historic Places. 

Administration Building (now Hearst 
Hall) opened its doors in 1916. The only 
Oglethorpe historic structure without a 
tower form, it established a pattern for 
the original campus structures. They 
are two and a half stories with gables in 
the roofs and lower level ground floors, 
serving as all-purpose buildings. There 
was a cafeteria where the bookstore is 
now. Classrooms and laboratories were 
on the first floor and faculty offices and 
dormitory rooms were on the upper floors. 
The Great Hall, designed by Downing, 
is substantially unchanged. In 1948 the 
building was renamed Phoebe Hearst 
Hall, after the co-founder of the PTA 




and the mother of publisher William 
Randolph Hearst. 

Lupton Hall is actually three separate but 
connected buildings, starting v^dth a bell 
and clock tower (once freestanding, v^dth 
Westminster chimes, gi\'ing the campus 
a musical dimension), a middle part, and 
the auditorium section with a fine portico. 
They commemorate the mother, wife and 
son of John Thomas Lupton, founder of 
the Coca-Cola bottling company. The key 
to navigating Lupton Hall, Jacobs's "triple 
dream come true," are its three sections, 
with separate staircases. Lowry Hall, 
expanded into Philip Weltner Library, 
bears a striking resemblance to the 
Gateway Tower at Corpus Christi College 
Oxford. Over the entrance is a fine old 
lantern from Corpus Christi. 

Jacobs called the Oglethorpe buildings the 
"Silent Faculty", believing them to be "a 
constant source of delight and inspiration, 
teaching the highest ideals of life." 
Certainly, Oglethorpe's gray stone and 
mortar challenges the best of those who 
enter our hallowed halls.

of the student's room. Cheap, ugly and ill- 
equipped apartments have exactly the same 
influence on the soul of a hoy that cheap, ugly 
and ill-equipped human companions have. In 



brief, the college educatio 
love of beauty and order <i. 
called decency is essentially ar 
defective." - ThornwellJacobs 




LUPTON HALL 

is named after John Thomas Lupton, 
the owner of the Southern Franchise of 
the Coca-Cola Botthng Company. Dur- 
ing a fundraising campaign to re-found 
Oglethorpe University, Thornwell Jacobs 
met Lupton in Chattanooga. Lupton was 
impressed by Jacobs and his passion to 
start an institution of higher learning. 
Lupton Hall was completed in three 
parts, with groundbreaking ceremonies 
in 1922, 1924, and 1927. The first part 
of Lupton Hall, including the bell tower, 
was erected as a memorial to Lupton's 
mother. The middle portion was dedi- 
cated to his son, Carter, and the third 
section, including the auditorium, hon- 
ored his wife. Beginning with his pledge 
of $10,000 in 1914, Lupton gave a total 
of $1,018,000 to Oglethorpe before his 
death in 1933. 




HEARST HALL 

was the first building on campus and was 
named by publisher William Randolph 
Hearst in honor of his mother Phoebe Ap- 
person Hearst. The publisher had given 
Oglethorpe a sizable donation of land, 
and in the early 1930s the Oglethorpe 
campus covered approximately 600 acres. 
This included 30-acre Silver Lake, which 
was, for a time, renamed Lake Phoebe. 



was dedicated in 1992, named for past 
Oglethorpe President Philip Weltner 
(1944-1953), a noted attorney and educa- 
tor. The current library was a result of 
an addition to the original Lowry Hall 
(named for Emma Markham Lowry) built 
in 1925. Weltner initiated an exciting 
approach to undergraduate education 
called the "Oglethorpe Idea" one of the 
earliest efforts to develop a core curricu- 
lum, with the twin aims to "make a life 
and to make a living." 




EMERSON STUDENT CENTER 

was built in 1968, but remained nameless 
until trustee Bill Emerson made a $250,000 
gift to the school in 1982. The building 
was named to honor Bill, now an emeritus 
trustee, and his wife Jane in 1983. 




GOODM^ 

was built in 1956 as a men's dorm and 
was named in memory of Charles "Puggy" 
Goodman, a Milton Bradley executive 
and a university trustee and benefactor 
from 1945 until his death in 1955. 



\-~-r?ii 



opened in 1971 and was named for Dr. 
Roy Goslin, professor of physics who 
joined the Oglethorpe faculty in 1946. 
Goslin had previously worked on the 
famous Manhattan Project in 1944.

then called Faith Hall, was built in the 
1940s. Beginning with only $3000 and the 
faith of President Thornwell Jacobs, ground 
was broken by Mrs. Hugh N. Bancker, 
president of Oglethorpe's Women's Board. 
In May 1942, Bancker placed a copper 
box in the cornerstone following the 23"^ 
commencement, yet $35,000 was still 
needed to complete the building. In 2000, 
J. Mack Robinson, an Atlanta entrepreneur, 
businessman, philanthropist (and breeder 
of thoroughbred racehorses!), gave funds to 
finish what is now named Robinson Hall in 
his honor. 



Fun Fact 

From 1965 through part of 1972 the 
institution was called Oglethorpe 
College. But the historical identity' of 
Oglethorpe University was so strong 
that in 1972 the original chartered 
name was re-established.

HERMANCE STADIUM 

is named after Harry Putnam Hermance, 
pictured here with his wife, Sybil, and 
daughter, Helena, while attending the 
dedication football game between the 
Flying Petrels and the Dayton Flyers on 
October 26, 1929. Three days later Harry 
lost his entire fortune when the stock 
market crashed. Plans for the remain- 
ing seven sections of the stadium were 
suspended indefinitely. The stadium was 
used primarily as a football arena until 
the early 1940s, when all sports teams and 
activities were curtailed because of World 
War II. The field was later converted into 
a baseball field and named Anderson Field 
in honor of Coach Frank B. Anderson. 




CONANT PERFORMING 
ARTS CENTER 

was named after John and Miriam 
"Bimby" Conant, who provided the lead 
gift in funding the $5.5 million perform- 
ing arts center officially dedicated in 
1997- Bimby served as president of the 
Harland Charitable Foundation and was 
an OU trustee for many years. Oglethorpe 
shares the 510-seat facility with Georgia 
Shakespeare, the professional theatre- 
in-residence. 



DOROUGH FIELD HOUSE 

was dedicated on Alumni Day in I960. 
In 1976, it was named the Dorough 
Field House for R.E. Dorough who was 
an OU trustee and athletics supporter, 
a Shriner, and Buckhead real estate 
investor three years after his death. 



MAGBEE RESIDENCE HALL 
opened in 2005 and was named in 2008. 
The building memorializes Oglethorpe 
alumna and trustee Clare Findley "Tia" 
Magbee '56, who served as a member of 
the Board of the Oglethorpe National 
Alumni Association and was a valued anc 
enthusiastic member of the Oglethorpe 
University Board of Trustees from 1991 
until her death in 2005. 




TRAER HALL 

is named for Wayne Sterling Traer '28, 
a partner with Peat, Marwick, Mitchell 
accounting firm. For less than $100,000, 
he put his name on the l68-bed women's 
dorm. And, he timed his giving well- 
before the 1929 stock market crash. 




DEMPSEY HALL 

was completed in 1968, but was then 
called Weltner Hall. Virginia O'Kelley 
Dempsey '27 claimed the nameplate left 
vacant after the 66-year-old Lowry Hall 
was renamed Weltner in the early '90s. 
Dempsey Hall was dedicated in 1993 to 
honor Virginia and her husband Jack 
Dempsey '29. Both served as trustees- 
Virginia for two decades. 



MACCONNELL GATE HOUSE 

was not in the original plans of the 
university. It was completed in 1980 and 
after five nameless years, the mini-gothic 
gatehouse was named to honor Charles, 
Marjorie, and Elgin MacConnell. Charles 
taught at Oglethorpe in the 1940s and 
Marjorie served as registrar from the 
1950s through 1970s. Charles and Marjo- 
rie's son Elgin came to Oglethorpe in '49 
and served in many different capacities, 
including dean of administration, before 
retiring in the mid 1980s.

A few days before his high school 
graduation Stephen John Schmidt '40 had 
no college plans and had never heard of 
Oglethorpe University. Several schools 
had offered the four-sport letterman 
athletic scholarships going into his senior 
year of high school, but after a cerebral 
hemorrhage on the first day of football 
practice left him temporarily paralyzed, 
all scholarship offers were rescinded. 
After successful brain surgery resulted in 
a complete recovery, Steve's high school 
principal informed him that he had a 
scholarship offer from a small school on 
the outskirts of Atlanta. On her advice 
to enroll in the college, Steve hitchhiked 



to Oglethorpe, thumbing his way from 
Moorestown, N.J. to Savannah and back 
up to Atlanta in fall of 1936. 

If Steve hadn't found his way to the sylvan 
campus at the terminus of the Atlanta trolley 
line, Oglethorpe might not have found its way 
through financial adversity and institutional 
turbulence of the 1960s. In 1964 the board 
of trustees was seriously considering selling to 
Georgia Baptists who wanted to change the 
school's name and make it a denominational 
institution. Steve resolved to keep Oglethorpe 
independent and financially solvent. Without 
the means to save Oglethorpe himself, Steve's 
fundraising kept the university afloat. Elgin 
MacConnell remembers, "Few checks arrived 
at the university during those years that didn't 
have Steve Schmidt's tracks on them." 



Orphaned at the age of 10, Steve 
adopted Oglethorpe as his family. 
Throughout his life, Steve continued to 
serve, support, steer, and inspire his 
school in every way he could.

Thornwell Jacobs' 
office returned 
to former glory 

Next time you're on campus, don't miss a visit to the office of Dr. Thornwell Jacobs, pres- 
ident of Oglethorpe University from 1915-1943. In celebration of OU's 175"" anniversary 
of its charter, the office has been completely renovated and restored from stripping 
and refinishing original hardwood floors and molding to replacing broken panes in the 
leaded glass windows to a brushing of a fresh coat of paint. 



Dr. Jacobs was 
the driving 
force behind 
the reopening 
of Oglethorpe 
University on 
its present site 
in 1916. 



Dr. Jacobs' office is located on the first floor of the 
stunning neo-Gothic architecture of Phoebe Hearst Hall, 
one of several campus buildings designed by acclaimed 
Atlanta architects Morgan, Dillon & Downing. It was 
completed in 1915. With a commanding view of the 
campus, the room also features as does the adjacent 
Great Hall molding designed by premier architect 
Walter T. Downing. 



The room now houses OU artifacts, photographs, 
memorabilia, and documents, including the school's original 
charter in Midway, Ga. in 1835; a chronological history of 
the college from 1835 to the present day; a gallery of all presidents who have presided over 
the Atlanta campus; and letters from President Franklin D. Roosevelt, Helen Keller and 
Woodrow Wilson, all of whom received honorary degrees from Oglethorpe. 

Dr. Jacobs was the driving force behind the reopening of Oglethorpe University on its 
present site in 1916. He was responsible for the Gothic revival architecture of the origi- 
nal buildings and served as University President for nearly three decades. The historic 
Oglethorpe Crypt of Civilization, which was sealed 70 years ago and is not to be opened 
until 8113 A.D., was his idea and project. The room is open to the public on weekdays 
during normal business hours. 



OGLETHORPE POST OFFICE, 1949 

Since frontier times, having a U.S. Post Office meant prestige and 
convenience as areas became settled and relied on written long 
distance communication. In tfie Brookhoven area before the Civil 
War, the local post office was at Old Cross Keys, near the junction 
of Ashford-Dun woody and Johnson Ferry Roads. 

Not long after Oglethorpe University opened its doors at its present 
location in 1916, it was the proud site of a U.S. Post Office, where 
Dr. Thornwell Jacobs served as postmaster. Oglethorpe's location, 
convenient to the Southern Roilroad tracks, was ideal to facilitate rail- 
way mail service, the mojor method of transport for sorted mail and 



packages. There was a railroad 
depot across Peochtree that served 
as a place to receive mail bogs, 
even if the train did not stop. 

The mailing address for this post 
office northeast of Brookhoven 
was "Oglethorpe University, 
Georgia," which was considered a suburb of Atlanta. Its most use 
was in the 1930s, when more than 10,000 trains transported U.S. 
moil. Oglethorpe closed its post office in the late 1950s, but a 
reminder of the campus' role in mail delivery is the blue Postal Service 
mailbox at the corner of Lanier Drive and Peochtree.

FUN FACTS 



THE ELEPHANT 
AT OGLETHORPE 



One of the strangest stories of Oglethorpe 
University is about the elephant buried on 
campus. In the 1940s, Oglethorpe had a 
fledgling medical school, which no longer 
exists. When faculty member Dr. John Ber- 
nard heard that several elephants had been 
mysteriously poisoned at the Ringling Brothers 
Barnum & Bailey Circus dov\/ntown, he 
seized on a rare opportunity.  Claiming 
he needed specimens for his Comparative 
Anatomy class, Barnard, in 1941, persuaded 
some of his medical students to collect one 
of the elephants. Lab assistant Johnny Kelly

and several others transported it in a flatbed 
truck, unloading it near Lowry Hall (now ex- 
panded into the Philip Weltner Library.) They 
dissected the carcass outside in the cool 
November weather.  Under Dr. Barnard's 
supervision, the medical students studied the 
elephant specimen for about a week and 
then buried it somewhere behind Lowry Hall. 
The grave was not permanently marked, so 
the exact location is not known. 



Posf Office, Elephant and 

Band of Brothers stories all 

by Dr. Paul Stephen hiudson 72 



It is not generally known that the Bond of 
Brothers, made famous by historian Stephen 
Ambrose's best-selling book  which Steven 
Spielberg and Tom Hanks in turn made into 
a fen-hour epic HBO TV mini-series  passed 
through Brookhoven on a memorable march 
in December 1942.  The Band of Brothers 
was composed of the soldiers in E (Easy) 
Company of the Second Battalion of the 
506* Parachute Infantry Regiment, United 
States Army 101" Airborne Division. Having 
completed their basic training in Toccoo, 
Georgia, Easy Company embarked on a 
grueling 115-mile march to Atlanta. Coming 
into the Brookhoven area from Gwinnett

County, the soldiers of Easy Company 
bivouacked on the Oglethorpe University 
campus, where for one night they unloaded 
their equipment, rested, and attended to their 
sore feet. It was during this critical time that 
these soldiers began to develop a lasting 
bond for the hardships that lay ahead.  
The title for the book and mini-series comes 
from a speech delivered by the king of 
England before the Battle of Agincourt in 
Shakespeare's play Henry V. "We few, we 
happy few, we bond of brothers," Henry 
declared, adding "he that sheds his blood 
with me shall be my brother." Eventually 
the Band of Brothers that had bivouacked 
at Oglethorpe went on to fight heroically 
in critical victories with American airborne 
landings in Europe, such as Normandy and 
Bostogne, and on through the end of WW II

BRAVO TO THE BARD 
AND THE BRIT! 

Throughout the post 25 years, Georgia Shakespeare has welcomed almost a half million 
theatergoers to the Oglethorpe University campus. What began as a summer festival under 
a temporary tent has evolved into a mainstay of the Atlanta theatre community and an 
invaluable partnership for Oglethorpe University and its theatre students. 

Georgia Shakespeare was founded as a professional theatre company in residence at 
Oglethorpe at the invitation of then-President Dr. Manning Pattillo. He recognized that 
a professional theatre would enrich the liberal arts experience for students and enhance 
the cultural offerings in the community. 

This model partnership continues to thrive as it enters an exciting new phase of 
growth under the leadership of Georgia Shakespeare Producing Artistic Director 
Richard Garner and Oglethorpe President Larry Schall. In 2008, Oglethorpe initiated 
a Georgia Shakespeare Scholarship program for incoming first-year students based 
on a competition conducted jointly by Oglethorpe English professors and Georgia 
Shakespeare associate artists and directors. Prospective students are increasingly 
drawn to the exceptional opportunity for an acting internship with one of the most 
prestigious League of Residence Theatres in the nation. 

Oglethorpe also added curricular and hands-on depth to its collaboration with 
Georgia Shakespeare by introducing a minor in Shakespeare and Renaissance Studies 
and a theatre-focused study abroad trip to England. Two of OU's most recent theatre 
department productions were directed by Georgia Shakespeare associate artists, and 
theatre classes are often taught by these artists as well. 

OU theatre students have the opportunity to work directly with the professional actors 
and staff of Georgia Shakespeare both behind the scenes and onstage. Students get 
hands on, real life experience without leaving campus. During the 2009-10 academic 
year, more than 100 students were actively involved in theatre. This integration of 
Oglethorpe's theatre program and a professional theatre company offers students the 
unique opportunity to earn Equity credits and to work closely with professionals while 
still undergraduates an opportunity available at few, if any, other liberal arts colleges.

Richord Garner (for left) and Board Choir Lauren Kiefer

2010 Spirit of Will Award, which honors individuals or

condition that Shakespeare displayed throughout his 
writing, and who courageously advocote for the value of 
the oris as the ultimate expression of our shared humanity.

MATED TO OGLETHd 



Will Carter always thought he'd go to college for his "dream" international rela- 
tionsuntil an accident during his senior year at Roswell High School in Georgia 
kept him home much of the year and put him on a different path: playwriting. 

"It came to me a little bit in waves. I had breakfast with my youth pastor, expressing 
this struggle of really wanting to do playwriting but I was worried about money. 
And he said, 'Will, there are three ways to determine God's will: ability, desire and 
opportunity. You have two of those three!'" 



The third opportunity was the miss- 
ing link until Will visited Oglethorpe 
University's campus. "By then, I knew 
I wanted to do something in theatre. I 
came by, checked it out and I loved it," 
he said. Will immersed himself in the 
theatre program and has already written 
five one-act plays, one full-length and 
"countless five-minute plays." 

Will won first place for one-act plaj^writ- 
ing in the Agnes Scott College Writers' 
Festival 2010. "I felt very honored," he 
said. "It was open to graduate students." 



"/ have to write

said. "It's a need. 
Ideas just come 
up typically, 
they're very silly. '^ 



Line, Please is a one-act play about a play in which the characters are constantly 
interrupted by the stage manager. "I was reading some plays from medieval times 
with audience involvement... The entire play is about how I feel that modernity has 
kind of killed mystery," he explained. "I feel kind of pretentious saying this, that we 
have to know everything now and I think mystery is a beautiful thing."

Riding the Waves 
with Ivan Bilancio '81 



By Anita Stevenson Patterson '97 



What do Oglethorpe, Surfs Up, 
and jury duty have in common? 

Ivan Bilancio! Ivan '81, worked as supervis- 
ing editor for the award-nominated film 
Surfs Up... and took a break from jury duty 
to talk to me. 

Ivan grew up on the Oglethorpe campus; 
his late father, Leo Bilancio, was a popular 
faculty member. When it came time to 
decide where to go to college, Oglethorpe 
seemed to be the natural choice. Ivan 
laughingly says, "I was able to enjoy 
the campus with a minimum of 



embarrassment to both myself and my 
father." Always an avid reader, Ivan is fasci- 
nated with storytelling both with the story 
itself as well as the characters within those 
stories. To him, his career choice seemed 
natural he was able to combine his love for 
reading with his love of going to the movies. 
During his sophomore and junior years, 
this combination manifested into wanting 
to learn more about the creation of films. 
Ivan began this journey in the Oglethorpe 
library, reading all the books on film that he 
could be find. As a Lit major, Ivan studied 
under two of his favorite professors. Dr. 
Brightman and Dr. Weiss. 



After graduation, Ivan moved to California 
where he was fortunate to have friends 
(and where he knew the surfing would 
be better than in Atlanta!) When he 
first arrived in L.A., he began to work 
' as an assistant editor in motion picture 
advertising (trailers). He then moved on 
to work as a Live Action Feature assistant 
editor on si.x movies before discovering his 
love of animation editing in 1989, when he 
began his first job at Walt Disney Feature 
animation. Ivan has worked on many films, 
including The Lion King, where he learned 
the most, to his favorite. Surfs Up, where 
his avocation of surfing combined with his 
passion for film-making. 

He continues to reside in California 
with his wife, Gloria, and 18-year-old 
daughter, Leah. Ivan stays in touch 
with happenings at OU and to this day 
appreciates that Oglethorpe valued and 
nurtured creative thought.

This was the fourth consecutive year the university has received this honor. Honorees 
were chosen based on a series of selection factors including the scope and innovation 





MORGAN COFFEY '13 was named among the 2010 National Young Women of Distinc- 
tion by the Girl Scouts of the USA for demonstrating extraordinary leadership in a 
community action project. To receive the National Young Women of Distinction award, 
honorees must spend one to two years on a community action project that has had far- 
reaching effects in her community and beyond. Morgan already earned the Girl Scout 

Gold Award the highest scouting 
award received by fewer than six 
percent of all Girl Scouts. 



MAKING 

US PROUD 



Morgan wanted to help victims of 
abuse. First, she started the Victim 
Support Initiative, which pro\'ides 
the Atlanta-area DeKalb Police De- 
partment's Special Victims Unit with helpful informational brochures to distribute to 
abuse victims. She then founded Change in a Bag, which provides with a fresh change 
of clothing to abuse victims a small act of comfort during a traumatic experience. 

Morgan went on to establish Stronghold Atlanta to help women and children who are ^^c- 
tims of domestic violence. When victims enter a hospital or shelter after reporting abuse, 
their clothing is taken for evidence and they are given hospital gowns or on-hand ill- 
fitting clothing. Stronghold Atlanta provides new or gently used outfits to those \ictims. 

Morgan and her fellow winners were honored at a special awards ceremony in February. 
Morgan now serves as a troop leader and mentor to young girls.

ALTERNATIVE SPRING BREAK 2010 



I could have stayed home watching TV, 
getting the sleep homework usually takes 
away, or reading for fun, but instead I 
decided to make spring break more 
productive this year. OU's Center for Civic 
Engagement offered a service trip to 




Savannah and I was excited because I love 
volunteering and, of course. Savannah. 

During our "break," our group cleaned 
up the beach at Tybee Island, organized 
22,000 pounds of beans for America's 
Second Harvest of Coastal Georgia, land- 
scaped a garden at the Union Mission's 
Magdalene Project house for women and 
children, and played with kids at a local 
YMCA. My favorite volunteer project was 
the Tybee Island beach clean-up, where 
we picked up the usual cigarette butts and 
plastic trash, but also some unusual items 
(like a pair of bikini bottoms!) 



President Schall also helped with clean- 
ing the beach and came along with us for 
the Oglethorpe history tour around the 
grand city of Savannah. During the tour, 
we visited the Telfair Museum of Art, the 
Cathedral of St. John the Baptist, and most 
of the squares around the city, including 
one with a statue of James Oglethorpe. 

I learned you don't have to party hard or 
go to extravagant places over spring break 
in order to have a satisfying experience. 
Someone saying, "thank you" with a bright, 
warm smile is satisfying enough.

GOING GREEN 




GREEN PETEY SAYS: 
CONSERVE RESOURCES! 

Conserving energy and other natural 
resources is no small task on a campus 
built in the early 1900s! Oglethorpe is 
taking a three-pronged approach. An 
educational campaign encourages the 
entire community to behave in ways that 
conserve energy. Small-scale renovations 
of existing facilities are being planned, 
with an eye toward energy conservation. 
And, any large-scale renovation and 
new building projects will aim for 
LEED Certification and/or Energy 
Star Certification. 

Fast Fact: If everyone on compus shut down, 
slept, or hibernated their desktop computer when 
it was not in use, the university would save at least 
163kWh and $6704 per semester. 

GREEN PETEY SAYS: 
RECYCLE THAT WASTE! 

At OU, recycling is a student-led effort, 
with coordination and assistance from 
the Center for Civic Engagement. Student 
volunteers collect recyclables in three 
weekly shifts 
and the recycling 
program at OU could 
not succeed without 
so many dedicated 
volunteers. 

To maximize the opportunities for the 
entire OU community to recycle, "single- 
stream" recycling where all recyclables 
can be mixed together is used. Bins 
are located in every building on campus, 
including residence halls. Cardboard is 
brought directly to the single-stream 
container and broken down for recycling.

GREEN PETEY SAYS: EAT 
ORGANIC & LOCAL FOOD! 

OU's food service is operated by Bon 
Appetit, which has become a model 
for what is possible in sustainable food 
service. Bon Appetit was the first food 
service company to address the issues 
related to where our food comes from and 
how it is grown. It has won several awards 
for sustainable practices, including 
serving local foods and sustainably- 
harvested seafood. Look for the "Farm 
to Fork" logo at the server's counter in 
the Emerson Cafe it identifies meals 
containing ingredients that are seasonal, 
minimally processed, and purchased 
from a farmer/artisan within 150 miles 
of the campus. Yummy! 

Fast Fact: The OU Emerson Cafe is operated 
by the same company and under the same 
sustainable principles as Monterey Bay

What is Urban Ecology? 




Cities around the world are growing larger, 
both in population and size. This growth 
often degrades natural resources and cre- 
ates inequities in standards of living, qual- 
ity of education, and allocation of taxes. 
Growth management can eliminate or 
reduce these impacts, but only if it is based 
on the interacting facets of natural and 
social science that drive urban expansion. 

Oglethorpe is helping to produce those 
scientists and managers that will ef- 
fectively manage future urban growth. 
OU's Urban Ecology Program offers this 
interdisciplinary experience in the city 
of Atlanta, where outdoor experiments, 
internship opportunities, and guest 
speakers abound. 



Conservation Biology, one of the Ur- 
ban Ecology electives, is taught onsite 
in Hawaii every other year. This course 
focuses on best practices for maintaining 
the rare and unique plants and animals 
of the Hawaiian Archipelago. Earlier this 
year, seven students and biology profes- 
sor Dr. Roarke Donnelly spent 13 days on 
the islands where they witnessed many 
charismatic and rare species (including 
the Hawaiian crow, humpback whale, sil- 
versword, and green sea turtle), collected 
data on the impacts of invasive species, 
and met with conservation biologists from 
the Bishop Museum, Hawaii Department 
of Aquatic Resources, and University 
of Hawaii.

THE PATH TO SOUTH AMERICA 

After I graduated from OU, I wanted to do sometfiing tfiat made a difference before I 
returned to graduate scfiool. I began looking for volunteer organizations abroad that 
would give me the opportunity to live in an exciting new culture and learn a new lan- 
guage while I volunteered. I learned about the inequality and poverty in South America, 
and quickly decided that it was here that I wanted to try to help. 

I found a small energetic organization called VE Global, which recruits, trains and orga- 
nizes a global network of volunteers to achieve a vision of equality of educational and 
social opportunity for at-risk children in Chile. I applied to volunteer in an orphanage for 
5 months. I arrived in Santiago, Chile in March 2009 to begin volunteering, and for three 
months I worked in an orphanage every day. Those three months changed the way I look 
at the world, and gave me a new perspective on life. At that point I decided to defer my 
place at business school for one year, and began working for VE Global as Director of 
Resource Development. 

"FUERZA CHILE" 

The days after the quake were surreal. The terror of the moment the quake struck was fresh 
in everyone's mind, and strong aftershocks rattled the country at the rate of a few per hour. 
But, the thing that struck me most after the quake was the way people pulled together to 
support each other. 

In the weeks following the quake, we volunteered at the Red Cross warehouse in San- 
tiago. People from all over Santiago, earthquake victims themselves, organized donation 
drives in their neighborhoods and churches, and delivered the goods to the Red Cross 
warehouse. Volunteers poured in every morning to help unload and sort donations, 
package them, and load the disaster relief onto convoys headed south to the epicenter. 

Suddenly, Chilean flags appeared in windows across the city. "Fuerza Chile" ("Be strong, 
Chile") was spray painted on walls and buildings. It seemed that everyone was tn/ing to help. 

Student groups collected donations and sent missions south to build shelters and distribute 
aid. We joined with a group of students from the University of Santiago and sent our 
volunteers south to help build shelters before the rainy season arrives. For many people in 
Chile, the earthquake was devastating: 2 million families lost their homes, and more than 
1,000 people lost their lives. Despite the devastation, the spirit and strength of the Chilean 
people has been impressive. As a society, they've come together to support each other, 
repair the damage, begin rebuilding, and move on.

From the Occident 
to the Orient 

By Chloey Mayo '10 

During spring break, I traveled \vith eight other 
Oglethorpe students and faculty to Germany and Turkey 
for what several students call the "trip of a lifetime." 

"It truly was a trip to remember," said Marc von Mandel '10, who 
decided to go on the trip as a way to explore his German heritage. 
"Both Germany and Turkey are unique in their cultures, and it 
was a once-in-a lifetime experience to see how people live in other 
countries as well as their history." 

While in Germany, our group visited museums and historical and 
cultural landmarks such as the Brandenburg Tor, the Berlin Wall, 
and a number of castles once lived in by European royalty. 

Aside from academic ventures, we had the opportunity to explore 
Berlin, Dortmund, and Miinster with students from Dortmund 
Technical University, one of Oglethorpe's partner schools. While 
there, we recognized some familiar faces other OU students 
who are spending a semester abroad, as well as former German 
classmates who had been part of the exchange program. 

Ian Franklin '11 had already spent a summer in Germany and was 
excited to be able to return to the country to practice his German 
and catch up with friends. 

"The best part for me was seeing [my friend] Ina again, and 
getting to meet the new German teacher and exchange students," 
said Franklin. "Ina was my double when I was studying at TU 
Dortmund, and she came here for a semester. It was so nice to 
be a thousand miles from home and have someone greeting you 
with a huge hug and some gummy bears." 

After seven days in Germany, our group headed to Istanbul, 
Turkey, where we toured famous monuments such as the Blue 
Mosque, Topkapi Palace, and the Hagia Sophia. We also tried 
new foods, cruised the Bosphorous Strait, and negotiated \Wth 
local merchants in the city's bazaars. The week was capped with 
a formal dinner at the top of Istanbul's Galata Tower, one of the 
highest points in the city, complete with live entertainment and 
a breathtaking view of Istanbul and the Bosphorous. 

"I have so many wonderful memories from the trip," recalls von 
Mandel, who had never been overseas before the excursion. "It 
definitely spurred my interest in graduate programs abroad. I 
can't wait to go back."

I can hardly believe it was just a year ago I was elected president 
of the Oglethorpe University Alumni Association. This has been a 
fantastic year, and I am most grateful for the opportunity to serve. 

Throughout the past year, I have enjoyed meeting and spending 
time with alumni in Atlanta, New York, and Washington, D.C. 
at various receptions and events. The stories and the memories 
shared by Golden Petrels and Young Alumni alike confirm that 
Oglethorpe is truly o unique experience. 

As you read through this issue of The Carillon, I invite you to look 
for the unique ways Oglethorpe alumni give their time, talent, and 
treasure back to our alma mater. Examine how our graduates are 
making a life, making a living, and making a difference. 

In April, more than 500 Petrels gathered to celebrate the 175* 
Anniversary of the charter of Oglethorpe. Outstanding alumni and 
the Oglethorpe faculty  past and present  were honored at the 
Friday night gala. 




Old friends and new friends gathered on the Academic Quod 
to Stomp the Lawn. Thank you to all who attended, volunteered, 
and encouraged others to join the fun. 

Finally, I want to thank the alumni who hove made a difference by 
financially supporting Oglethorpe this year. If you haven't made 
your gift, please step up and join your fellow Petrels who create 
and sustain an exceptional experience for Oglethorpe students. 

I look forward to seeing you soon at Oglethorpe. 

With best wishes.

of love." Her favorite OU recol- 
lections are taking trips to the 
campus with her brother and his 
then-fiance. Her father also went 
to Oglethorpe in the 1930s and 
her niece graduated from there 
as well. She particularly loved the 
wonderful learning atmosphere 
within her small classes, with 
favorites being chemistry, physics, 
music, and philosophy.

MEMORIAL 

CLASSROOM' 

HONORS 

BELOVED 

PROFESSOS^ 



On April 13, 2010, Oglethorpe 
unveiled and dedicated a class- 
room to the late Dr. Ronald L. 
Cariisle, a beloved member of 
Oglethorpe's faculty from 1985- 
2007. "The Ronald L. Carlisle 
Memorial Classroom" is located 
on the third floor of Lupton 
Hall and is a lasting legacy to 
Dr. Carlisle's dedication, loyalty, 
scholarship, and teaching. 

During his 22-year tenure at 
Oglethorpe, Dr. CarUsle taught 
generations of Oglethorpe 
students in that particular 
classroom. The Division of 
Mathematics and Computer 
Science initiated the renovation 
as a fitting tribute to Dr. CarUsle. 



Dr. Carlisle taught both math- 
ematics and computer science. 
For two years, he also served 
as Interim Provost and later 
continued his work as a faculty 
leader. He was devoted both to 
his disciplines and to the liberal 
arts. He worked with his col- 
leagues to bring the Japanese 
language and culture into 
the Oglethorpe curriculum; 
helped to establish Ogletho- 
rpe's exchange program with 
Otaru University; and, helped 
to cultivate a relationship with 
the Kyoto monastery to bring 
artwork and visitors to the 
Oglethorpe University Museum 
of Art. Dr. Carlisle was honored 
by the Oglethorpe Board of 



Trustees m 2007 with faculty 
emeritus status. 

Dr. Carlisle helped students 
to develop skills in reasoning 
and rigorous thinking. 
Many have since gone on 
to lead successful careers 
in mathematics, computer 
science, business, and 
other fields. Even more left 
Oglethorpe with memories 
of Dr. Carlisle's fondness for 
puzzles and wordplay, his love 
of learning, and his enjoyment 
of solving a challenging 
problem. Dr. Carlisle's patient 
efforts earned him respect 
from both his colleagues and 
his students.

OUR COMM 




OU STUDENT 
BECOMES US CITIZEN 



When Angela Rodriguez '11 left Columbia, 
South America to emigrate to the United 
States, she never imagined the path that 
would lead to Oglethorpe University, 
Washington, D.C. and, possibly, Madrid. 
Her father, a political refugee, had moved 
the family around their home country, but 
eventually it became too dangerous for them 
to stay. They left Colombia with few posses- 
sions and, with the help of the International 
Refugee Committee, they settled in Atlanta. 

At first, Angela found it hard to fit in. As a 
high school student in Avondale, she first 
experienced discrimination. She also strug- 
gled vvdth not having friends her own age. 
"My Spanish professor was my best friend. . . 
my only friend," she remembered. 

A turning point came when Angela met 
Dr. Pat Shropshire, the wife of Dr. Wilham 
Shropshire, Oglethorpe's former provost 
and a current trustee. William had met 
Angela's father at the Latin American 
Association in Atlanta and took Pat to 
the Rodriguez family's apartment to visit. 
"The way she talked to us and was holding 
us... was truly sweet" remembers Angela. 

The relationship between the two took hold 
that day and changed the course of Angela's 
education and most likely her life. "I felt 
like it was very important for Angela and 
her family that she get a real college experi- 



ence and really have a chance to go not just 
to a community school but to go to a new 
situation, having a family of peers and being 
part of a learning community." 



"Ever since I was 
little, I wanted to be a 
doctor, but everything 
that has happened 
in my life makes me 
think it would be 
better to help more 
people like me." 



The Shropshire children had gone to col- 
leges on the tuition exchange with Ogletho- 
rpe, making it easier for the Shropshires 
to help viath Angela's education. "And 
where else would I want anybody to go but 
Oglethorpe?" she said. "It seemed to me this 
was meant to be!" 

Angela has excelled during her three years 
at Oglethorpe - majoring in international 
relations with a minor in Spanish, volun- 
teering in New Orleans with the Center for 



Civic Engagement, and joining the Inter- 
national Club. She also yearned to study 
abroad in Madrid which prompted her on 
the path to obtaining a U.S. passport. 

In March, after going through the process to 
become a citizen, Angela arrived at the U.S. 
Immigration and Naturalization Ser\'ice a 
'little nervous. "We sat in a big room, facing 
a big flag. . .now we have to vote, participate, 
pay taxes, be responsible. I was feeling 
happy but at the same time sad because now 
I have to renounce my other nationality. I 
was thinking about how grateful and happy 
I am here but also thinking about my grand- 
father, my school when I was a child, going 
to church and playing with my friends." 

Two days later she and Pat Shropshire 
were on a plane to Washington, D.C. to 
mark the occasion. "I wanted to celebrate 
vvdth her," Pat said. And so they did in true 
ail-American tourist fashion, visiting the 
National Gallery, the White House, the 
Capitol building, the Supreme Court, the 
World War II Memorial, the Vietnam War 
Memorial ("all the memorials!") And, they 
visited the original "Star Spangled Banner" 
at the Smithsonian Institution. 

This summer, Angela hopes to have an 
internship with the International Refugee 
Committee. "Ever since I was little, I wanted 
to be a doctor," she said, "but everything 
that has happened in my life makes me 
think it would be better to help more people 
like me." 

People like her are pretty special, Shropshire 
thinks, and the feeling is clearly mutual. "I 
love the classes here, I love the professors," 
Angela said. "One of the reasons I think this 
is home is not just because of my citizenship 
but because of people like Pat." 

"This family is real easy to love," Shropshire 
said. "They are good-hearted, hard-working, 
loving people."
