EDITION Vol. 44 Published by National Oglethorpe Alumni Association, October, 1961 No. 3 HILDRETH LEADS 1961-62 FUND $38,500 GOAL Philip Hildreth "34, second vice president of the Alumni Assn, has been named chairman of the Forward Oglethorpe Fund for 1961-62. Mr. Hildreth is vice president of Clement & Co., Atlanta based claims adjuster firm. The combined Alumni Assn and Athletic Booster Club goal is set at 538,500, about one third higher than that of last year. The figure was ar- rived at as the sum of the following objectives: 1 . Unrestricted Gifts - $2 1 ,000 - to be used as best serve the objectives of the college. Some of these are faculty salary supplements, academic scholarships and loans, and instruction- al equipment and supplies. 2. Athletic Grants-In-Aid - S14,- 500 - to be used to defray college ex- penses for academically qualified stu- dents who also show exceptional ath- letic ability. 3. Capital Gifts - S3, 000 - to be used to continue studies and plans leading to the construction of a new library building and new residence hall for women. All of the objectives are of great importance to the progress of Ogle- thorpe University's total program. They are deemed worthy of your thoughtful consideration and support. Each is endorsed by the trustees and by the administration. Assisting Mr. Hildreth in over-all planning and implementation are Howard G. Axelberg '40, president of the Alumni Assn and chairman of the highly successful 1960-61 Fund drive, and Stephen J. Schmidt '40, outstand- ing leader of the Booster Club. PHILIP HILDRETH Others on the steering committee are Joseph Murphy '20, Wayne Traer "28, Mary Asher '43, O.K. Sheffield "53, Mike Murphey "54 and Louis Wuichet "59. This combined appeal is designed to permit you, the donor, to view all objectives at one time. With one check, you may support any one, two or all objectives. But don"t send your gift now. Wait until you are invited to contribute, either personally or by mail. Mr. Hildreth said, "I feel very, very strongly about the importance of the alumni effort to the over-ail develop- ment program of Oglethorpe."" He added, "1 know we will all do the job we are capable of doing for the better- ment of the school. We will all be the prouder for it."' LETS DANCE Wliat happened in a decade?

President Donald C. Agnew delivered a thought provok- ing speech. The occasion was the open- ing of college and Senior Capping Ceremony on September 20. Defining the role of a small liberal arts college in the present world crisis was the impetus for the title of Dr. Agnew's address, "Colletie Commit- ment, 1961-1962." "Berlin in not only a problem in itself, but it is a symptom of wide- spread unrest and conflict. Indications are that the best thing we can hope for is an indefinite period of limited wars.", said Dr. Agnew. "The chances of a nuclear war are real. . .If we had a nuclear war, what values should be preserved? The ideas of Western Civil- ization must be reassembled, reexamin- ed and reborn." Dr. Agnew pointed out that we must decide which things are of (Continued on page 3) 1960-61 ALUMNI EFFORT BEST IN O. U. HISTORY It would take an endownment of 8624,433.75 invested at 4 percent in- terest to match the 524,977.39 con- tributed by alumni to Oglethorpe last year. And a grand total of 683 donors made this possible. By every measurement, the 1960-61 Forward Oglethorpe Fund was the most successful program of its kind in Oglethorpe's history. While scores of alumni played major roles in this undertaking, special re- cognition should be given to Howard G. Axelberg "40, chairman and Stephen J. Schmidt "40, president of the Booster Club. The series of letters sent to alumni were the results of their efforts and those of O.K. Sheffield "53, 1960- 61 president of the Alumni Assn and of Robert B. Oliver "57, first vice president of the Booster Club. These men gave freely of their time and energy demanded by the responsibili- ties of this important task. Of course, the importance of the roles played by every single one of the 683 alumni donors cannot be over- estimated. Three classes, leaders of the three categories of measurement, were hon- ored on Alumni Day in May. They were the Class of '20 for highest per- cent of participation - 36 percent; Class of '37 for largest amount con- tributed - 86,794.50; and Class of '40 for greatest number of donors - 36. The money provided 55,000 for faculty salary supplements; $6,602.16 for current operating expenses includ- ing instructional equipment and mater- ials; 88,166.75 for athletic grants-in- aid; 83,658 toward construction of a new library and residence hall for women and 81,550.48 for renovations of buildings and grounds - every area a vital one. In addition, the Booster Club re- ceived 8855 from non-alumni sources, and two Booster Club members took out life insurance policies of 55,000 each naming Oglethorpe as benficiary. NINE ALUMNI HEAD GEORGIA AREAS Nine alumni are serving as volunteer area chairmen for a personal solicita- tion phase of the Forward Oglethorpe Fund this year. The areas and chairmen are: Albany, Miss Bertha Faircloth '40; Athens, Donald Bloemer "53; Atlanta Zone 5, Creighton Perry '37; Atlanta Zone 11, Robert Boggus '49; Atlanta Zone 19, William A^ers '47; Chamblee, Col. Francis Shipton '58; Cherokee County, W. Alex Weatherby "55; Dublin. Rev. Samuel Edleman *57; and Tri-Cities, Mrs. David Garrett "52. Two areas in Georgia were personal- ly solicited last year with gratifying results. The areas were East Point led by Rev. William "Bill" Allison '33 and Cherokee County with William Hasty '48 as chairman. Donors in- creased from 4 to 30 percent and the amount of gifts rose seven fold. These results confirmed eyperiences of other colleges using the same met- hod and led to the decision to expand the number of areas in this phase. Final results are not available since volunteers are still in the process of completing their visits, but initial re- ports are encouraging. This is parti- cularly true of the significant number of new donors contributing. The first public report of Forward Oglethorpe Fund progress will be an- nounced at the dinner-dance. An Honor Roll is now being pre- pared which lists the names of all donors and includes many interesting figures and comparisons. It will be mailed to all 1960-61 donors. Alumni can be truly proud of their achievement. Through their support, Oglethorpe has been able to provide a more meaningful education for her students than was possible without their help.

Oglethorpe is beginning a two-year self-study program. It will enable the University to reexamine these values as presented all aspects of the Univer- sity including its students, faculty, ad- ministration, physical plant, financial structure, curriculum, and community relations. The plan is to study in dept'i a projecton of its facilities and program for the next ten years. "The value of the task," said Dr. Agnew, "is the preservation of lasting ideas and the creation of new and bet- ter ideas. This is what a liberal educa- tion means." Assn Dinner Dance Will October, 1961 Page 3 REMINISCING WITH THE WENDELL BROWNS CHARACTERS Those of us who set out to revivify Ogletliorpe were a pretty naive lot when it came to running a college. True, we had many ideas that have proven excellent in the subsequent years, but when we chose our as- sociates staff, faculty, or students only a kindly Providence kept us out of trouble most of the time. There was the purchasing agent who furnished his house and many other things out of our pitiful treasury. He was dismissed, promising to pay back the several thousand dollars, and when he was caught a few days later, with mask and gun, robbing a pool hall, he told police, and the world, that he had to have the money to pay back Ogle- thorpe. Our public image (to coin a phrase) was not sculpted by Phidias. Then there was the faculty member who boiled human innards in a labora- tory in Phoebe Hearst. The evidence of lliese tests was always most con- clusive at meal times, and, if we had had enough sense, we could have saved greatly on the food budget. This went on (the President, who did not live in Hearst, thought we were finicky) until he brought some VIP's to a luncheon. All this is amusing in retrospect, but the most amusing episode involved both a professor and a student. The latter, a girl of rather vague back- ground, appeared quite the normal coed when she arrived in September, but by October all of us had noticed strange actions. When she proposed to write a book, then three books on psychology, on religion, and on sex we knew that something had to be done. A long distance call to father brought forth his opinion that she was perfectly all right, and that he did not want her home ever. Of course, most of the school students and faculty were all living together in Hearst. One two-room suite was occupied by a very dignified and rather timid professor, who, because of the crowded quarters, did much of his work in the evenincs NORMAN THOMSON RESIGNS Norman Thomson, Oglethorpe's jovial, hustling Director of Develop- ment, has resigned. In recent months, the great pressure inherent in such a position began to have telling effects on his health. His doctors advised him to get out from under or suffer the consequences. In his letter of resignation to Dr. Agnew, he stated, "It has been difficult to come to this decision. Difficult, not only because 1 have been privileged to meet many sons and daughters of Oglethorpe for whom 1 hold a deep respect, but primarily because Ogle- thorpe University is at the crossroads of true greatness, and I would like to remain with you and our Trustees and observe the ushering in of the New Day." Sincere regrets are felt by all who know him and know of his perserver- ance on behalf of Oglethorpe. Mr. Thomson has taken a teaching position with Florida Southern Uni- versity, and he expects to do some con- sulting in that college's development program - but not too much. He can be contacted in care of Thomson & Sheridan, Inc., P.O. Box 247, Lake- land, Fla. Oglethorpe wishes him good health and success in his new position. in bed, while his wife took care of the two little girls in the next room. One night as he worked there, the door opened, and in came our heroine in night clothes. She climbed into bed to discuss the problems of her work with him. That is, she started to. With a bound he left the bed, yelling for his wife. Regardless of father's wishes, the next morning, she was on a train for home. Ah, the dear, dead days!

SENIOR RETURNS Bob Olsen, a senior, has returned to Oglethorpe University after spending his junior year in Sweden. He studied abroad on a grant provided by Scandi- navian countries. The purpose of the grants are to enable American students to better understand the Scandinavian way of living. While in Sweden, Bob studied gen- eral courses covering Swedish life and history. He also carried out a research project based on Boy Scouting in Sweden. According to Bob, "The Swedish people have an exceptionally high standard of living, expecially higher than other European countries." He feels that their long neutrality is a major factor. There are only two class- es of people in Sweden the middle class and the wealthy class. In spite of their proximity to the USSR, Bob has the impression that the Swedish people are much less afraid of the Russians than are Americans. Be Held At The Capital Page 4 The Flying Petrel NEW VARSITY SPORT Soccer socks its way onto the Ogle- thorpe campus. Known as football in most countries, soccer is a major team sport. As a fall sport, it will round out a complete athletic program for Ogle- thorpe. Students will be able to enjoy soccer, basketball in tiie winter, and tennis and baseball in the spring. Soccer, characterized by rapid move- ment, is played with two teams of eleven players. The object of the game is to move the ball through the goal posts and score a point. The ball can be moved only by butting it with a player's head or kicking it with his foot. The game is played in halves, and it takes about ninety minutes to complete. The playing area is about the size of a football field. Hermance Field will be the site of all future home games. Billy Carter, former Oglethorpe athlete, will coach the Oglethorpe team. Coach Carter plans to initiate the new sport by encouraging freshman to participate. Then the team and the sport can grow together. No definite plans for competitive matches have been made for this fall. However, Coach Carter, hopes to have 2 or 3 matches lined up before the season is over. One of Oglethorpe's most enthusi- astic soccer spectators this year will be Dr. Arthur Bieler, professor of mod- ern languages. His interest in the sport started when he played in Vien- na, Austria. Dr. Bieler feels that soccer hasn't caught on in the United States in the past because of competition from other traditional sports. "It's a very fascinat- ing sport," feels Dr. Bieler, "from a spectator's as well as from a partici- pant's view point." He added that he believes it will gain enthusiatic support from the Oglethorpe student body. BASKETBALL PREVIEW This year Oglethorpe fans will see action packed basketball games. A complete schedule departure from the past five years will triple the strength of the schedule according to Coach Garland Pinhoister. Instead of being the favorite team everytime the Petrels go on the floor, they are picked as underdogs or for a toss-up in eighteen out of twenty-two games. This means a harder game, more action, and more school spirit through greater interest in the game. Coach Pinhoister said, "We might win only half the games because we are playing bigger, more experi- enced teams, but you'll see better basketball." Five freshman are starting out to- gether. They represent an average height of 6 feet 4 inches and a scholas- tic average of 9 1 . Four of the boys were offered grants to larger univer- sities. They chose Oglethorpe for ed- ucational as well as for athletic pur- poses. Of the eight returning players, all but one are juniors and seniors. It will be a battle between the old and the new. The five freshman want to see action (his year. Their hustle and talent will put a lot of pressure on returning lettermen. The overall result should bring a new high in spirit to a team al- ready noted for zing.

City Country Club On October, 1961 Page 5 Fnr Teachable Geiwralists NE\>k CURRICl LI M IN BUSINESS ADMIMSTRATION Nationwide, business schools are hearing the same plea from business- men, "We want a college graduate with a basic understanding of business to whom we can teach the specifics of our particular business" and "We are tired of trying to reteach a man the broad concept of business, when his knowledges is limited to his specializa- tion." Their justifiable complaints stem from a lack of exposure to the humani- ties of their junior executives who have had highly specialized business courses. In many instances a graduate's special- iaztion lies in areas years ahead of his present needs. Businessmen see a need in management for personnel with an understanding of the human element in business. Oglethorpe Unversity's Division of Business Administration has decided to do something about the problem. This fall a greatly modified business ad- ministration program, geared to mod- ern business needs, will be instituted. The uniqueness of the Business Divi- sions program lies in its underlying purpose seen in the required courses which are a part of the new business curriculum. They are designed to give students a basic knowledge of man, the fundamental skills of modern busi- ness, and make them "Teachable Generalists". A teachable generalist, according to professor of management develop- ment Wm. A. Egerton, is not a specia- list, but one who is knowledgeable of the business world and capable of see- ing the overall business picture. The courses which have been planned to achieve this purpose are difficult and exacting in their aim. Students are required to take 50 percent of their courses in the humani- ties. Their remaining requirements in the new business curriculum are higher mathematics, human relations, the conceptual foundation of business, business law, accounting and costing. Mr. & Mrs. John Patrick enjoy an all too brief visit to Oglethorpe, Mr. Patrick '33, after graduation, coached the football Petrels through the thirties. He is assistant Superintendent of the East Chicago, 111. school system. marketing, statistics, and principles of management. In addition, a major innovation is a required year of physics. Since World War II business has become highly automated and a rising number of technical products are being manu- factured. Physics, Mr. Egerton pointed out, is a basic science from which other sciences have sprung. The modern businessman needs an understanding of scientific theory to better com- municate with his co-workers and to make sound decisions. It is believed a good basic course in physics will sup- ply this need. This new business administration program is designed to give a broad understanding of business to the stud- ent. He will also be better equipped to face life's problems. Oglethorpe graduates will discover that this program which they will have experienced at Oglethorpe, will enable them to surpass those who have had the older, narrow, specialized training found in too many other colleges. Goslin Effect RUSSIAN THEORY DISPROVED BY 0. U. PROFESSOR Roy N. Goslin, Oglethorpe professor of physics, has disproved a Russian theory and replaced it with his own. Mr. Goslin, a consultant at Oak Ridge National Laboratories for many years, began working on a special pro- ject this summer in collaboration with O. C. Yonts, A.M. Veach and Dr. E. D. Shipley. The team began preliminary studies of ion beam and secondary plasma interactions. While results were veri- fied, Mr. Goslin disproved the Russian theory that explained them. His col- leagues, consequently, named his theory the "Goslin Effect". The Goslin Effect is "an explana- tion, making use of equal potential lines, of why well-defined high current ion beams passing through a vacuum and a magnetic field have a tendency to oscillate and blow up." Ion beams are used in electronuclear and thermonuclear energy devices. Ac- cording to Mr. Goslin, ion beams may be the primary source of power in future space craft when in outer space. A paper, concerning these results and the team's continuing studies in this area, will be read at the American Plasma Physics Conference in Colora- do Springs on November 16-17.

ABBOTT RETURNS Dr. Martin Abbott, professor of history at Oglethorpe University, has just returned from a years leave as a Fulbright lecturer. He was one of only 28 lecturers chosen to tra\'el and lec- ture in Germany during the past twelve months. In Germany, Dr. Abbot 1 taught American History and Western Civilization at Interpreters Institute, a branch of the University of Mainz. Dr. Abbott, his wife and two chil- dren lived in an apartment in Germer- sheim, a small provincial village in the Rhine Valley, with other Fulbright lecturers. In addition to formal lecturing duties stated in the Fulbright grant. Profes- sor Abbott gave lectures under the auspices of the United States Informa- tion Service. They covered various aspects of American history and de- velopment. An interesting fact is that speeches given by the lecturers are bound into a pamphlet or book and distributed to all who attended them, to the local library, and to others in- terested in obtaining a copy. German teachers, doctors, and ed- ucators usually attended these lectures, liowever. they were open to everyone. The main purpose was to explain working American democracy to people of that country. One cannot help but wonder if the average man also benefits from these lectures. A hope is that the more educated German will teach the less educated. A Fulbright lecturer has two specific duties. He usually lectures on his specific field of knowledge, and he helps to organize American study con- ferences for about 30 to 40 German educators who teach English or Ameri- can studies. The American Civil War is Dr. Ab- bott's speciality. Although he does not consider himself an expert, he is re- nowned for his scholarly research in this specific phase of American history.

He feels that the suffering of the South after the Civil War, as described so eloquently in Margaret Mitchell's "Gone With The Wind," is thought of in the German mind as beinu similar to the sufferins: of the Germans' after WW I and WW^II. The purposes of the Fulbright grants are to promote understanding of Amer- ican ideas and ideals to foreigners, and to promote the foreign way of life to Americans.
