EDITION Vol. 14 October. \')51 No. 3 DR. DONALD C. AGNEW Alumni Dinner-Dance More than 100 Oglethorpe alumni attended a dinner-dance at the Ansley Golf Club on Wednesday evening. October 9. Guests of honor were Dr. and Mrs. Donald C. Agnew and Dr. Philip Weltner. Ed Miles "27, Atlanta sports writer, introduced guest speaker Harry Mehre, also an Atlanta sports writer. During his highly entertaining talk. Mr. Mehre, a former University of Geor- gia coach, recalled his 1929 football team's defeat by the Oglethorpe Petrels in their first game of the sea- son. The following week the Bulldogs became the first Southern team to de- feat a major Northern power when they downed Yale University. Alumni Association president Creighton Perry "37 and his wife Sara attended the dinner dance as did Flor- ence "48 and Lyall Angevine, Marshall "41 and Mary "43 Asher, Amarylis "39 and Ray "40 Barnes, Don "53 and Jane '52 Bloemer, Odette Blumensaadt "39 (Continued Page 3, Col. 1) President-Elect Donald C. Agnew l-arly in '5S our new President, Dr. Donald C. Agnew, will assume his duties at Oglethorpe on a full-time basis, when he will terminate his po- sition as Executive Secretary of the Commission on Colleges and Uni- versities of the Southern Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools. He has held that position since June, 1955. Dr. Agnew"s experience includes two years of high school teaching and college teaching in Duke University iiininier schools, Winthrop College. Lander College, Coker College and Oglethoriie University. During his 1 5 years at Coker College he was suc- cessively professor, registrar, dean and president. After seven years as president of Coker College he came to Oglethorpe University as Chairman of the Division of Community Service. His teaching fields are educational psychology and philosophy. He holds an A.B. from Park College and M.A. and PhD. degrees from Duke Uni- versity. Born in Denver, Dr. Agnew had his early schooling in Delta, Colorado. Mrs. Agnew, the former Lucile Guil- len, is a member of the Oglethorpe faculty, teaching in Division I Hu- man Understanding. They have two daughters, Jocelyn. 17, a freshman at Southwestern in Memphis, and Edith. 12 years old. Dr. Agnew. an elder in the Presbyterian Church, is a member of the General Board of the National Council of Churches. Dr. Agnew's activity with the Southern Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools dates back for many years. He was formerly a mem- ber of the Committee on Admission to Membership and of the Executive Council of the Commission on Col- leges and Universities. He has been (Continued Page 3, Col. 2) Wilson Resigns Many alumni have shown under- standable concern iwer the resigna- tion on September 1 of Dr. Donald R. Wilson. The question they ask most is. "Why did Dr. Wilson leave after such a short time at Oglethorpe's helm?" Perhaps they recall the simi- larly short term of Dr. Bunting, The average tenure of college presidents is five years. At first glance it would appear that something may be amiss at Oglethorpe or with these men. Neither is the case. The trustees and staff of Oglethorpe University are vitally interested in getting top men to fill the president's post. I he trustees obviously have done a good job, for as soon as these men became president industry's leaders were drawn to them. They were offered positions so financially attractive that they could not refuse to accept. Much has been written about the immediate need for raising faculty salaries and the fierce competition for top teachers. This situation is both true and critical. It also applies to college presidents and other adminis- trative staff members. Many colleges have instituted alum- ni campaigns to help alleviate this condition. Until now, Oglethorpe has tried to meet this problem alone. Last year it was realized that outside help was needed urgently. Consequently, Oglethorpe, together with the other eight accredited. 4-year, non-tax sup- ported colleges formed the Georgia Foundation for Independent Colleges. (See other article in this issue on progress of this organization.) In addition, the NAAOU officers were asked to establish an annual "giving" campaign. The funds from the campaign, which will begin in the Spring, will be used directly and in- directly to retain our excellent staff and continue our academic eminence. It is regretable that we could not (Continued Page 2, Col. I ) Une Ssrlinna l-^^etrei Oclober, 1957 Pub/ished s/'x Wmes a year in July.

Uffner, Jr., '51 Editor Alumni Support Many alumni are confused about when dues are payable and the year to which they apply. The NAAOU fiscal pear was changed recently to run from Homecoming to Homecom- inc To avoid confusion, the Ogle- thorpe Athletic Booster Club fiscal year runs concurrently with that of the NAAOU. You will be pleased to know that alumni activities have been supported entirely by the alumni for the past 18 months. Previously the University has had to bear the deficit for these ac- tivities. You can be proud of this achievement. However, this has been accom- plished with less than 15'/, of alumni with known addresses contributing. Nationwide, the average of alumni giving is 33' , . Your officers and directors have developed many plans to enhance the progress and prestige of Oglethorpe University and to provide you with additional services, satisfaction and enjoyment. Some of these plans will require money which is not now avail- able. To the present we have received about SI, 250. If each of you whom we have contacted returns your dues, our treasury will boast a balance of over $9,000. Think of the substantial help this would be to education in gen- eral and to the total Oglethorpe pro- gram, and with a small individual burden. If you have not already done so. please join Oglethorpe "on the march" by sending your alumni dues now. Wilson Resigns (Cont.) keep Dr. Wilson and Dr. Bunting at Oglethorpe due to inadequate re- munerative rewards, but that is in the past. We CAN do something to prevent a recurrence by supporting education, the foundation of self- government and our American way of life, when we as alumni are asked to GIVE. Dr. George Seward Ask Industry Aid Dr. George C. Seward, vice-presi- dent of Oglethorpe University, and representatives of Georgia's eight other non-state supported, 4-year colleges, visited some 300 business firms last month to acquaint executives with a new plan for "free enterprise in edu- cation." These schools comprise the newly formed Georgia Foundation for Independent Colleges described in the July, 1957 Flying Petrel. Although most of the visitations are over for the present school year. Dr. Seward believes that industry will contribute at least 5100,000 this year to the support of independent colleges. If this estimate holds, Oglethorpe's share will approximate $10,000. The distribution plan for funds collected is that 60' , of all unrestricted gifts will be shared by the nine institutions, with the remaining 40' . prorated on the basis of enrollment. This arrange- ment does not prohibit the separate schools from soliciting funds indi- vidually. Dr. George B. Connell. Mercer I'resident and head of the Foundation, said early response was encouraging. "The response indicates deep concern and interest on the part of industry and business in the welfare of our private colleges," he declared, "We feel challenged by the support already given to our appeals for the resources we need to insure quality programs in our institutions." Dr. Wallace M. Alston, Agnes Scott president, explained that the campaign was necessitated by in- creasing costs, decreasing purchasing power of endowment incomes, and competition for top-flight faculty (Continued Next Column) 1957-58 Student Council Officers Elected The Oglethorpe student body cre- ated as much spirit and enthusiasm during Campaign Week last May as a South American revolution. Officers for the 1957-58 Student Council were to be elected and the campaigners left no hoopla unhoopla-ed in their efforts to get out the vote. Backers of the hopefuls created and displayed some one hundred posters throughout the campus, boost- ing their candidate. Presidential nomi- nees presented their platforms to the students from the auditorium stage. One aspirant organized a bicycle-cade in his behalf. Another made frequent political speeches during class changes via a public address system located atop an automobile between Lupton and Phoebe Hearst Halls. When the smoke cleared, Ted Bay- ley "58 was elected president of the Student Council. Others elected to office are: MacDonald Willis "60, vice-president; Peggy Compton '58, secretary; Tom Deacon "60, treasurer; and Ina Foster '58, parliamentarian. Ted Bailey "58 Attends President's Conference Ted Bailey 58, president of the student body, attended a student pres- idents" conference held at the Uni- versity of Michigan in Ann Arbor during the second week in September. This was the first time one of our presidents took part in a meeting of this kind. Ted said he found the con- ference most enlightening, and he be- lieves several problems concerning student affairs on the Oglethorpe campus will be solved as a result of it. members. "It is important,"" he added, "that we undergird our private colleges as centers of private enterprise with freedom of thought and research,"' The crux of the message spread by Foundation members is that "free en- terprise, independent of government domination, is as important in edu- cation as anywhere else."" Spokesmen believe that industry"s response will "mean the difference between quality education and mediocrity in the pri- vate institutions that serve a vital role in Georgia."" Page 2 The Flying Petrel Personnel Club Hears Egerlon "Personnel Development"' was approached from a new and in\ itiorat- ing angle by W. A. Egerton. Priifessor in Management Development in the Business Division of Oglethorpe Uni- versity, in a stimulating and inspiring talk before the Personnel Club of At- lanta on Tuesday evening. October 1. "In evaluating an employe", Mr. Egerton said, "consider the quality as well as the quantity of work per- formed, his time sense, the cost factor and how effectively he works with and through people."" He suggested a policy of non-direc- tive development of the indi\'idual. letting him realize his potential through self-improvement, rather than the in- tensive training programs so often instituted by management. In this con- nection, Mr. Egerton defined training as the transfer of a particular skill or knowledge, whereas development is the growth of a human being; the one you can do for another, the latter, only each of us can do for himself. The classical references with which the discourse was illuminated, in the opinion of one enthusiastic listener, was an excellent example of the Ogle- thorpe plan of educating the whole man b\ helping him in making a life as well as making a living.

In his commencement speech to the Oglethorpe graduating class in August. 1957, Dr. Agnew described the theme of the Oglethorpe curricu- lum as the relationship between hu- man understanding and the obligations of citizenship and comnumity service. He laid particular stress on four obli- gations of the scholar in American life: rigorous objectivity, creativity, ethical commitment establishing a set of values about basic issues, and the obligation of sanity in a world in which it is popular to be insane. In assiuiiing his new duties. Dr. Agnew predicted a period of "vigor- ous advancement" for Oglethorpe. "Confidence in the sound future of Oglethorpe University makes me par- ticularly appreciate the honor of being elected its president," he stated. "I have watched since 1950 with en- thusiastic interest the development of the college under the leadership of Dr. Phillip Weltner, his associates on the Board of Trustees, and the faculty. 1 became so interested that for three years I was a member of the faculty. Since that time, my work with tlie Southern Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools has given me con- tacts with many other colleges and universities.

Coach Garland Pinholster, entering his second year as Petrel head coach, expects his basketball squad to pro- vide Oglethorpe's first winning season in several years. He confidently pre- dicts they will take the decision in at least 14 contests of a 21 -game sched- ule, compared with last year's 8-12 won-loss record. Supporting his confidence, six of last year's eight lettermen have re- turned this Fall. After a slow start in the past season, these boys improved rapidly and won four of their last six games. Additional help has arrived in the form of junior John Mobley, a 6" 5" graduate of Young Harris Junior College, and two promising freshmen. Furthermore, the squad is starting this season knowing the system that will be used. Last year they had to learn from scratch. Finally but perhaps most im- portant in the close games Pin- holster says; "The support of the Booster Club seems to have given the boys a shot in the arm for they are working much harder this year and their spirit and attitudes have im- proved appreciably." Vying for right forward slot will be returning letterman Scott Shamp. a 6' 3" sophomore, and John Mobley. To date, reserves are lacking for the positions of left forward and center held by lettermen Donn Sullivan, 6" 3" sophomore, and Eddie Starnes, 6' 3" senior, respectively. Billy Carter 5' 11" junior who re- ceived a trophy last year for the "Best Individual Effort." has the left guard job nailed down. Right guard is an- other story: Bruce Hauck, 5' 11" senior, will be fighting for his position against four aspirants. Jimmy Clower. 5' 10" senior, unable to play last year due to an automobile accident, is in strona contention, as is freshman Wayne Dobbs, also 5" 10". Dobbs captained the Campbell High School of Smyrna, Ga. team in his junior and senior years and is a "valuable addi- tion to the squad." Joe Sewell, a 6' 1" sophomore southpaw, played on two high school championship teams, but has yet to fulfill his college potential. Also in contention for a right guard assignment is dark horse John Powell, a 5' 11" freshman. A spirited 3-week Fall conditioning period has been completed and formal practice has begun. The first game will be played against Georgia State on December 2 at 8:00 p.m. at O'Keefe High School gymnasium. Plan to be there to help the Petrels off to a winning season.

Our boys are going to need a lot of moral support to win this one. Let's give it to them. Boosters will be interested to know that four students who attended Ogle- thorpe University last year would not now be able to do so without the time- ly help of the newly formed OABC. Three of the four were married dur- ing the Summer. This added responsi- bility coupled with Oglethorpe's first tuition increase in over ten years led to an extremely difficult financial sit- uation for these boys. Thanks to the OABC, they are continuing their much-desired education. All male alumni whose addresses are known have received an invitation to join the Booster Club, formed to promote physical education, intra- mural activities and varsity sports at Oglethorpe. The enthusiastic response of the alumni thus far has been gratifying, and additional applications will be welcome. Beginning this season, only OABC membership cards will be honored at the gate for free admission to all home basketball games. Join the OABC dues can be paid at the December 4 banquet meeting. There will be no fund solicitation, but each will be asked to pay for his own dinner not to exceed SI. 50. For reservations, write or call Jim Hinson. 1508 Hop- kins Terrace, N.

Dr. Abbott stales that "lliis is an article which concerns itself with the dispute which has per- sisted through the years over the question of whether the Virginian Ed- iiuind Ruffin actually fired the 'first shot of the Civil War'." Dr. Abbott, who has dt)ne con- siderable research on this period of American history, and "using all avail- able evidence from those who wit- nessed the affair, comes to the con- clusion that the first blow against Fort Sumter on April 12. 1861, was struck by someone other than Ruffin." This conclusion, supported by strong argu- ments, is opposed to that of the ma- jority of textbooks now being used in colleges and high schools.

October, 1957 Page 5 Good or Evil o Up to Youth, R By BILL PICKERING The jdllou'ing article appeared in the November 1, 1957 Atlanta journal. Mr. Rich, an Oglethorpe trustee, offers a point of view often expressed by bus- iness and political leaders in recent months. Mankind faces greater opportunities for good than at any other time in his- tory, an Atlanta business executive de- clared here Thursday. But the oppor- tunities for evil are equally great, he warned. Richard H. Rich, president of Rich's, Inc., told an assembly of Georgia State College students they are living in a "marvelous and unexplored universe." "The opportunities ahead for both good and evil are greater than at any time since the beginning of civiliza- tion." he said. NEW DEVELOPMENTS in the electronics, chemical and nuclear fields offer "great new frontiers" for man- kind, Mr. Rich predicted. But how they are used will determine whether they are blessings, he added. "The atom is a gift of God," Mr. Rich said. But it is up to the I'resent generation to decide whether the atom will create a "new earth" or a "ghastly hell," he said. Mr. Rich told the students he be- lieves automation would be as import- ant a development in the second half of the 20th century as mass production was in the first half. Through the use of machines, fac- tory work which required an hour in 1900 now requires only 23 minutes to- day and will require only 15 minutes in 1975, he said. But the increased use of machines won't mean more unemployment, he said. "Instead, I believe the number of jobs will increase," he declared. "Auto- mation will increase the opportunities for women because less physical strength will be required." MR. RICH URGED the students to study "the science of human relations" if they would be successful in the busi- f Atom ich Says ness world. People are more important than things and ideas are more import- ant than gadgets, he said. The human being is more important "than anything anybody can make or sell or buy," he declared. Mr. Rich said finding a job he likes should be the student's standard for selecting a vocation. Select a job where "you can make a game out of work," one that gives you "a sense of accomplishment" and "an inner glow," he advised. Management Development Courses The Business Division of Oglethorpe University began the first of the 1957- 58 series of night courses in Manage- ment Development, led by W. A. Egerton, on Monday evening, October 21, to run for six weeks. The next 6- week course is scheduled tentatively to begin January 20. Registration can be handled by mail or in person through the Registrar, Oglethorpe University, Atlanta. The course designed for top and middle management personnel, will emphasize the following subjects: Per- ception, the psychology of behavior, motivation, communication, delega- tion, the four functions of manage- ment to plan, organize, integrate and measure, the eight types of group leadership, ai'praisal and development.
