Vol, Published by National Oglethorpe Alumni Association, October, 1959 No, 3 /''^SMSfc^ Many witnesses view and approve Oglethorpe University President Dr. Donald C.

Thomas Bradbury, architect, his associate, Robert Schoenberner, Stephen Schmidt, President of the Oglethorpe Booster Club, and Carrol Brown with Barge-Thompson, What Do They Say? More than a building, the long awaited Field House which is under construction had become a symbol representing the direction Oglethorpe would take in the future. The direction is now clear; it is forward! Dr. Agnew said recently that, "We are highly grateful and pleased to launch the building of the Field House. Our Trustees, alumni and friends," he added, "have worked hard to accom- plish this step in Oglethorpe's progress. "The Field House will be a center of student activities and will be of service to the community at large. "It is the second step, Goodman Hall being the first, within Oglethorpe's accelerating development program, to match its academic excellence with adequate facilities." Athletic Director, Garland Pinhols- ter, said, "Oglethorpe has been recog- nized widely as an institution with a strong academic program. Construction of the new gymnasium eliminated the biggest obstacle we have faced in de- veloping a sound physical education and athletic curriculum, A new build- ing clears the way for improvement in physical education activities, intercol- legiate athletic play, recruitment, sche- duling, intramural activities and minor sports, "The greatest contribution," he said, "of the new gym will result from the renewed interest in all Oglethorpe University people whether they be stu- dents, faculty, alumni or fans. This building will symbolize the courage my boys have shown in athletic com- (continued page 3) O.U. Has Record Enrollment Students from 10 states and 8 foreign countries are represented in Oglethorpe University's record enroll- ment for the fall of 1959. Oglethorpe registrar, Mrs. Marjorie MacConncll, reported that 292 stu- dents were enrolled, which is more than a 60 per cent increase over last year. Both the men's and women's dor- mitories are filled to capacity, and classroom sparP is at n nrernium Dr Donald C. Agnew, President, estimates that Oglethorpe's capacity is limited to some 300 to 325 students including both day and boarding students. Indications are that "the space prob- lem at Oglethorpe will become critical in the fall of 1960, since more than 2,800 requests for information have al- ready been received from students in- terested in entering college next year.

Editor Jane Schoenfeld Alumni Secretary Corporate Alumnus A growing number of corporations throughout the country are following the example of the General Electric Company in supporting higher educa- tion through a corporate alumnus pro- gram. The basic philosophy of this pro- gram is simple and direct. Briefly, they wish to help those schools who help themselves. Their definition of a col- lege which helps itself is one whose alumni are loyal and contribute up to its program. The corporations, in turn, will contribute an equal amount to a stipulated sum to the alma mater of the employee. If you are employed by any of the following firms, mail your check today to Oglethorpe University with the no- tation "Forward Oglethorpe Fund" or "NAAOU Dues" along with the match- ing corporate alumnus form which may be secured from your personnel or public relations office. The amount you send will be matched by your com- pany. In this way, Oglethorpe receives double benefit from the money you give. Although unreasonable, it is never- theless true, that the value placed by others on your attendance at Ogle- thorpe is measured by what Oglethorpe means to them today. It is no secret that not long ago many people felt that an Oglethorpe education left much to be desired. Today, however, the Oglethorpe degree is regarded well, and its reputation as a quality school is growing. There may be a greater correlation in the increasing stature of Oglethorpe among the nation's col- Page 2 BOOSTER CLUB BANQUET The "Annual Coach of the Year Banquet" will be held in the Ogle- thorpe Cafeteria on Saturday, Decem- ber 5, at 6:00 P.M. prior to the Petrels" basketball game with Valdosta State.

Aldrich '38, Project Leader of the Analytical Group in the Research Department of West Virginia Pulp & Paper Company, Covington, Virginia, will present an outstanding technical paper at the Tenth Annual Testing Conference of the Technical Association of Pulp & Paper Industry (TAPPl), to be held August 17th through 21st at the Multnomah Hotel in Portland, Oregon. This national meeting of the coun- try's leading experts on all technical problems and work concerning the pulp and paper industry will attract a national and international attendance of several hundred people. The paper to be presented by Mr. Aldrich, whose home address is Idle- wilde, RFD 2, Covington, Virginia, concerns itself with one of the increas- ingly important aspects of standardiza- tion which is as vital to the pulp and paper industry as it is to most other fields today. The paper is entitled: "Standardization of Model C Mullen lestmg in a Multi-mill Company" and deals with a new airblending device which determines printing pressure on paper and foil. WHAT DO THEY SAY? (continued from page 1) petition, the work of the Booster Club, and the tireless efforts of Dr. Agnew on our behalf since he became Presi- dent of the University. With such a symbol and tangible evidence before us, we don't believe we can fail in any part of our athletic and physical education efforts." Dr. Martin L. Abbott, Professor of History, voiced a typical faculty re- action when he said, "I am quite en- thusiastic about the Field House. I believe it is a positive asset in various ways. It will help to further the esprit de corps of Oglethorpe, and it will call attention to Oglethorpe University in a favorable manner." Steve Schmidt, President of the Booster Club, stated: "The Field House will be a tremendous boost to our alumni interest and support. It will provide a traditional gathering place for the Petrel boosters to rally About Dr. Abbott Dr. Martin L. Abbott, Professor of History at Oglethorpe, has had an- other article published in a historical magazine. It appeared in the June issue of the ""Tennessee Historical Quarterly" and it is entitled "The South as Seen by a Tennessee Unionist in 1865: Letters of H. M. Watterson". It consists of several letters written to President Andrew Johnson by H. M. Watterson, father of the famous "Marse Henry" Watterson of the Louisville Courier and Journal, who toured the South as an agent of the President in the summer and fall of 1865. His letters are a particularly re- vealing commentary on the political thinking of the South in the immediacy of defeat from the Civil War, and thus add to our knowledge of what war and defeat had meant to the leaders of the fallen Confederacy. Dr. Abbott was a visiting associate professor in history last summer at Emory University. Recently, by the authority of the governor of Georgia, Dr. Abbott was appointed to membership on the Com- mittee on Publications of the Georgia Civil War Centennial Commission. It is a committee which consists of his- torians, art and advertising men and publishers. It will have the responsi- bility to study the proposals of publi- cations commemorating the centennial and make final decisions as to what should be published and to see that all publications come up to a worthy standard. He is also serving as chair- man of the local arrangements com- mittee for the Southern Historical Commission which meets in Atlanta this fall to observe its 25th anniver- sary. Oglethorpe University along with Agnes Scott and Emory are host in- stitutions for the convention. behind the great athletic program." Oglethorpe's Trustees are to be commended for their diligent efforts in overcoming almost insurmountable problems in order to get the Field House underway. Their efforts will be rewarded through greater confidence and faith in Oglethorpe University among its alumni and in the alumni's increased support of Oglethorpe's pro- grams. MR. EGERTON. MAN IN DEMAND Mr. William A. Egerton, Professor of Management at Oglethorpe Univer- sity, is busy speaking to business firms and also conducting management de- velopment courses for their managerial personnel.

According to Coach Garland Pin- liolster, the man who ought to know, the personnel has greater potential than the hoopsters of last year. They are strong at the guard and center posi- tions, but lack experience at the for- ward slots with the exception of 6'2" liustler, Roger Couch. New men at forward are freshman Morris Mitchell, 6"5i/2" and Bob Nance, 6'4"\ and junior transfer Buddy Goodwin, 6" I", who shows a lot of poise on the floor. Pinholster was encouraged by Mit- chell in a recent practice game with Lenoir Rhyne, a team that reached the quarter finals last year in the NAIA playoffs in Kansas City. Mitchell scor- ed 20 points in twenty minutes in the last of the three games and was a stand- out rebounder. Jay Dye, veteran 6"5" pivot man, may be the best in the state this year, according to Pinholster. His relief will be a 6"2" junior, Sammy Hudgins, who is eager for action this year. Guards are solid with sophomores Tommy Norwood and Jay Rowland leading the pack. Behind them are Wayne Dobbs, a smart, steady per- former; transfer, Johnny Guthrie, very quick; and Bobby Dalgleish, a fresh- man from Atlanta's Murphy High School. About the 1959-60 season. Coach Pinholster said, "We're playing a lot rougher schedule, and our people are going to have to be satisfied losing a few ball games until we have the per- sonnel to go with a tough schedule." In an attempt to evaluate his team's chances this year, he feels that the Pe- trels will win at least half of their games with a good possibility of play- ing .667 ball if they progress as he be- lieves they will. A big difference in the close ones is the support the boys receive from the cheering section. Clip the season's schedule from this issue of The Flying Petrel and paste it on your mirror.
