Runnins of the bells

In the 410 years since Cambridge freshmen
first raced against noontime cliimes around
their academic quad only one student has
completed the circuit before the final bell.
David Burghley's triumphant run in 1927
became the inspiration of a memorable
scene in Hugh Hudson's 1981 film 'Chari-
ots of Fire." The Academy Award-winning
fihn inspired Oglethoi-pe track coach Bob
linger to try a similar race at Oglethorpe.
Bob's race had competitors attempt to com-
plete a 270-yard track with two impossibly
sharp Uirns around the academic quad in
less than the 30.92 seconds the carillon
requires to conclude its cadence. Stephen
Summerow, Dawn Roberts, Lisa Thornton,
Will Corum and Robert Canavan ran the
first Petrels of Fire race on Valentine's Day
1990. Stephen, who would later gain rec-
ognition as an All-American sprinter in
NCAA Division 111, bested the other runners
but was unable to beat the clock.
After the race's first running it was incor-
porated into Oglethorpe Day activities, foO-
owing the convocation at noon. When Bob
noticed convocation attendees skipping the

race to go directly to lunch, he decided to
run the race before the convocation at 1 1
a.m., with the beUs rigged to ring twelve
times. Through his creative anachronism
Bob succeeded in drawing a larger crowd
each year, but for the '98 race this schedul-
ing quirk had serious repercussions. Since
Jim Bohart's arrival in '72 he has served as
custodian of the carillon. Jim's repeated re-
quests for refurbishment of the bell-ring-
ing apparaUis were finally heeded in '97.
Unfortunatelyjim had not famiharized him-
self with the new microprocessor-controlled
time strike system before Oglethorpe Day.
Consequently he worried that if he tried to
alter the bell program to ring the bells 12
times at 11 a.m., he might risk rendering
the bells mute for the race. Instead the de-
cision was made to let the bells start the
race, and to let Bob Unger's stopwatch de-
cide if the runners would have beaten the
t\vehth bell. Surprisingly, freshman Mark
Olas beat the specified time and was judged
the first wmner of Petrels of Fu-e in the race's
nine-year history.

newly refurbished electronics in the bell tower, the
carillon clapped only 1 1 peals, but according to Bob
L'nger's stopwatch Olas would have beaten the twelfth
toll. In the race's previous 8 years, no one has beaten
a clock.

For the first full-icnf^th production
in Conant, Lee Knippenberj^
wanted co.stuines and a large ca.st.
While a student at Oglethorpe Lee
then Lee Boggus took
direction from Vicky Weiss in "She
Stoops to Conquer,'' one of the
most ambitious productions of
Vicky's tenure as theater director
('77-84). Lee's decision to make
Oliver Goldsmith's restoration
comedy the inauguriil show on the
new stage lent a sense of continuit}'
to the dramatic change of venue.
Prior to Vicky's "81 production of
"She Stoops," the play was
performed at Oglethorpe in '35.
Opening night October 10
marked the beginning of a new
era for Oglethorpe theater. For the
first time student drama had a
space on campus designed
specifically for theater. The
limitations of the multi-purpose
Lupton stage demanded creative
problem solving from its
directors, actors, light technicians

and set designers. The jern-rigged
sound and lighting: the scant
backstai^e; and the ktk of adequate
dressing rooms engendered a love-
hate relationship between the
theatrical home and its inhabitants.
Before Lupton .Vudilorium's
completion in the late 'ZOs. the
Players as the student theater
group was known prior to '91
presented their productions off-
campus at venues like the .Atlanta
Theater.

To commemorate the estab-
hshment of Oglethorpe theater in
a new space. Lee and Vicky
organized a reunion for Pla\ ers and
Playmakers past. Before the final
performance of "She Stoops" the
link between theater past and
present was further cemented by
the ceremonial transfer of N** endell
Brown's ghost from Lupton to
Conant. Wendell directed the
Players in the '40s and '50s and
according to Players lore his spirit
haunted Lupton Auditorium.

The Towel's big night

During Linda Taylor' second
semester at Oglethorpe in spring 76
freshmen Betsy Edge and Mehssa
Schiltz came to her with the idea of
reviving the school's dormant
literary magazine. After agreeing to
help, Linda joined her sUidents in
search of a campus meeting place.
Office space scarcity impelled the
group up the stairs leading to Lowry
Hall's fourth floor The disused 50-
year-old tower looked unfinished.
Without heat or electricity its only
furnishing was dried catshit, a
leftover from the residence of Harry
Dobson in the '50s. The eccentric
music professor hved in the tower
with liis 35 cats. Though the tower
never served as the magazine's
home, it came to symbohze a ruined
tradition, a consciously ironic
namesake for a hterary revival. In
the 22 years since its first
pubhcation in '76 The Tower has
come out at least once a year
featuring poetry, prose and non-
verbal art.
In spring '79 The Tower sponsored

the first Night of the Arts. Held in
the Talmage Room the program i
complemented literary readings
with musical performances. In
addition to smdents and faculty, the
event feamred poets and musicians
from beyond campus. The Tower's
decision to provide wine to
performers and attendees was a
significant draw. Through the '80s
the event's planning took on greater
importance in Linda's life. She
planned the first Night just as she
was beginning to write poetry as an
adult, and on at least two occasions
the event has inspired her poems.
The Tower sponsor has left the
responsibility for organizing the
Night to students, but she continues
to take great interest in the event.
"I think what I really loved about
it was it was so unrehearsed. It was
raw. It had spontaneous highs and
lows. Higher and lower than what
one would have expected. There was
a kind of community and humihty
about the whole thing. Which I still
think is true."

I

phuLu h) Jern Portwui

The namesake of The Tower never served as an
official meeting place. In fall '98 the tower required
a blue vinyl prophylactic as the naked battlements
provided no protection against leaking rainwater.
Unlike 76 there was more than kitt\' litter at stake on
the top floor of old Lowry Hall. The hardwood floors of
the Oglethorpe Museum's administrative offices would
not react well with unexpected moismre. The tower is
a distinctive feature of old Lown' Hall's collegiate gotliic
facade which mimics the gateway tower of Corpus
Christi, O.\ford James Oglethorpe's honorary ataia
mater.

Wendell's Boar's Head

Back in the fall of 1944, with a to-
tal enrollment of 35 (to become 25
after Christmas exams), and with
ties to the past all but nonexistent
Oglethorpe was looking desperately
for some foundations to build upon.
We started at least two traditions a
day. One could not stumble on the
iron step rims without it becoming
a tradition. We stiU stumble, but
no one celebrates it any longer. One
tradition that does remain, however,
is the annual Christmas party the
Boar's Head Celebration.

There was nothing original in our
getting this going; Queen's College,
Oxford, had antedated us by some
700 years. The story, as they tell it,
began one pre-Christmas season with
a student walking in a wood near
the college reading a Greek book
when he was attacked by a wild boar.
Lacking any other defense he shoved
the book down the boar's throat,
choking him to death. Students sal-
vaged the creature, and the head was
cooked for the hohday feast. When
it was carried into the hall the col-
lege greeted it with song, including
a boar's head carol. Yearly to the
present time, the ceremony has been
repeated in all aspects except the
kiUing of the boar

Many colleges have since started a
similar event, and so, said the pio-
neers of 1944, what could be more
appropriate for Oglethorpe, whose
patron had heraldic arms showing
three boars' heads.

That first year we had the late
Roosevelt Walker from the Univer-
sity of Georgia, well-known as a
singer of EUzabethan ballads and
carols, to carry the head (un-
cooked) in on a platter while he
sang the Boar's Head Carol. This

done in costume gave the old En-
ghsh air to the occasion. A general
songfest and refreshments followed.
The next year, with more time, we
became more elaborate. Four fac-
ulty children about so high (now
all in coUege or out) were pages
carrying in the head. They were fol-
lowed by recorders and choir mov-
ing into the Hall of Phoebe (Arts,
Administration Building, depending
on how far back you go) singing the
carol. Then came a varied program
of choir, instruments and general
carol singing and of course re-
freshments. In 1946, the newly re-
activated Boar's Head Honorary Fra-
ternity (also named after the heral-
dic arms) offered to take over the
decorations and general organiza-
tion. We were now becoming too
large and sophisticated for all stu-
dents, faculties, families and any
passing stranger just to come in and
lend a hand.

Only one more innovation. Do you
know how hard it is to get a pig's
head with the hide on it? The law
says it must not be. And an un-
cooked head, skinned !

Well after a few years of illegal ac-
tivity, various groups purchased a
stuffed, genuine wild boar's head.
He is very ferocious and very per-
manent. To lend the proper medi-
eval touch, the hunter who sold it
claimed he killed it with bow and
arrow.

If we ever leave Oglethorpe, one
of the fondest memories that wiU
go with us, will be of the Great Hall
in the glow of firehght and candles,
the tree in the corner, the Advent
wreath hanging from the beams, and
the chorus looking down upon us
from the stairs. Merry Christmas!

pholo from '66 Yamacraw

Wendell Brown arrived at Oglethorpe in '44 and taught En-
glish until '66. Ron Carlisle lent a bit of history to the first
Boar's Head's in Conant by reading three Oglethorpe vignettes
recorded by Wendell in October '60, including the loved professor's
memories of Boar's Head's origin. Before OAK came to
Oglethorpe in the late '70s, the Boar's Head Honor Fraternity and
Duchess Club served similar honoran' functions. The coeduca-
tional OAK circle absorbed the gender exclusive honoraries.
The stuffed boar's head Wendell describes was not as permanent
as he thought. These days Aramark buys a pork head from the
International Farmers Market in Chamblee and roasts it in the
cafeteria kitchen.

Geekin' in the free world

OAK faculty liaison Marshall Nason coor-
dinated the largest and most competitive
Geek Week in the event's nine-year history.
Over 60 students representing 15 teams
battled for bragging rights, cash and prizes.
Christina Bumham's Mysteiy Economist mas-
tery and Linnea Dyer's creative writing pro-
pelled the Idiots Savant past perennial iilso-
ran Trustee to top the team standings. Patrick
Floyd, Amy Katz and James Rissler led a tight
field for individual honors.

Joe Knippenberg organized the first Geek
Week in '90. Joe's creation incorporated the
popsicle stick bridge building contest
Michael Ruhson held in his Classical Me-
chanics class and the Division V's 640K
Spreadsheet Run. Joe continued to nm Geek
Week for a couple years before handing over
the estabhshed event to OAK.

Interest began to dechne in '95, and a dis-
appointing '97 tin-nout prompted Marshall
to revamp the winter week of academic,
trivial and quirky contests. Marshall enhsted
the help of veteran geek Patrick Floyd and
OAK'S James Rissler. The threesome re-
thought every aspect of the week in an at-
tempt to make it more attractive to students
who had not participated before.

The Tijuana Toilet Tranips beat all comers in

shot better than 46% from behind
the three-point arc, but he failed
to land his plane within 30 inches
of the target.

Flinn 's farewell

In his final game Matt Flinn pla\ed hard. .Mavte
harder than efficiena would permit. During the
first couple of possessions .Matt did not play
like a veteran, did not manage his limited re-
sources with thrift, but began the game with
the type of jumpy edg\' defense that wa-stefully
dissipates energ\. He played end-of-the-bench-
freshman defense, desperately tning to impress
a coach during three urgent minutes in the
middle of the first half. But the senior captain
had no one to impress, had nothing left to prove.
Matt played on his most talented Petrel team
his freshman year Mer a first round e.'^t from
the Division III national tournament, he watched
as the stars of that squad moved on. Cornell
Longino and Andy Schutt. then R\ an Vickers and
finally Bn^on Letoumeau completed their col-
lege careers, leaving Matt the last acti\e mem-
ber of the '94-'95 team. Going into the "9~-
'98 season a poU of conference coaches unani-
mously picked Oglethorpe to finish last in the
Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference. But
Matt approached the year with enthusiasm. Af-
ter an off-season of rigorous workouts with
former OU assistant coach Tern- Gorsuch. he
entered the year in his best shape since high
school. The sting of the preseason appraisal
became a point of inspiration. Though chances
at a conference championship faded in Febru-
arv', under Matt's leadership the Petrels finished
a respectable 3rd in the conference, ahead of
five of the coaches who had overlooked diem.

For your halfiime pleasure

Though he always appreciates good
ballliandUng, basketbdl coach Jack
Berksliire wanted no crotch-grab-
bing on his floor. The OU Dancers
phinned to showcase some serious
grabbing of crotches during their
scheduled performance at haUtime
of the men's basketbiill game Feb-
ruaiy 1 1 . The Dancers were already
costumed and limbering up palms
when Corrie Hogan tightened her
hold over the group she founded the
previous semester. Just 15 minutes
before the opening tip, the Danc-
ers' director told them they would
not be performing at the half. Corrie
agreed with Jack Berkshire's deci-
sion that the routine was inappro-
priate for the basketbiill crowd. At
first the troupe thought Corrie was
jerking their collective ch;un, but
they soon came to grips with their
situation. The Dancers' happy hands
turned to white-knuckled fists of
rage. They had practiced too long
and told too many friends about the
show. What would their sponsor

Approximately 100 students
packed the Schmidt Recreation
Center gym adjacent to Dorough Field
Ftouse February 1 1 to watch the OU
Dancers give what would be their fi-
nal performance.

Irwin Ray say if he knew they would
grab no crotch this night. In a stroke
of genius they took matters into
their own hands. They circulated
through the bleachers and spread
the word that the location of the
dance had been changed to the
Schmidt Center gyin. If Jack didn't
want them grabbin' crotch on his
court, then nuts to him.

The Stormy Petrel reported that
only 14 spectators remained in the
home bleachers during halftime.
Nearly every student left the field
house for the adjacent Schmidt Cen-
ter And there before an enthusias-
tic audience they grabbed crotch as
they had never grabbed before. Af-
ter the performance Corrie initially
attempted to disband the group, but
Irwin Ray would not let such fine
crotch-grabbing desist. Corrie re-
signed as director instead. Irwin
reasoned the Dancers' performance
was valuable if it had touched just
one person.

tine with flair and precision. As choreog-

Carolina Messiah

'homwell's mother's health began a steady decline after giving birth on 1 5
February 1877. ThomweU was not yet two years old when his mother died.
)mwell's father indicated in his diary that the boy had hastened his mother's
sing. When Thomwell became aware of the words in his father's journal, "May
make noble use of a life purchased at such a price," he carried his mother's
th sentence like a cross until he founded Oglethorpe University. Seeing this as
fulfillment of his father's wish he had the haunting phrase carved into a granite
lar and placed between Lupton and Hearst halls.

Thornvvx'll Jacob.s often re-
counted a conversation he had
as a young boy with his grandfa-
ther Ferdinand Jacobs, a profes-
sor at Old Oglethorpe [ niversity.
When the youngster told his
grandfather of his wish to attend
Oglethorpe University, the elder
Jacobs repHed, "No, my boy, you
will never stand on the
Oglethorpe campus."

When Thornwell came to Atlanta
in '12 to help raise funds for
Agnes Scott College, the
Princeton-educated Presbyterian
minister from Clinton, SC fell in
love with Atlanta, and with
academia. After acquainting him-
self with Atlanta's elite during the
successful campaign, Thornwell
turned liis sights toward found-
ing his own school. From Pres-
byterian pulpits throughout the
South Jacobs appealed to South-
erners' sympathy for the Lost
Cause. He made Old Oglethorpe
a casualty of the war between the
states and appealed to Ills listen-
ers to "irrigate the educational

Sahara" which the South of the
early 20th century appeared to
be. '

Thomwell's vision of Oglethorpe
consumed him. Possessed with
enthusiasm onl\ \Jsionaries and
fanatics can understand.
Thomwell attached a hoK si^yiifi-
cance to his educational crusade.
The new school's identity grew
out of the imagination neu-
rosis? of a man who once
quipped to a fellow Presbuerian
minister that they might collabo-
rate to write the Third Testa-

For nearly three decades
Thomwell presided over the in-
stiUition he had founded. Though
his successes against all odds
were undeniable, tning times in
the early '40s prompted a request
for the presidents resignation in
43. Thornwell knew what had
become painfully clear to his
colleagues, he could never sepa-
rate himself from his school.
Half a centun later. Oglethorpe
remains a strange blend of
Thomwell's ideals and delusions.

history 65

Adopted grandfather

The misleading sign out front
welcomes visitors with two
staturous fictions. Present-day
Oglethorpe connects only in
name to the school chartered in
1835 by the Hopewell Presbytery
to be built in Midway GA. Old
Oglethoi-pe never recovered from
the Civil Wai- and closed its doors
in 1869. The board of trustees
charged Presbyterian pastor Wil-
Uam Cunningham with finding a
new location for the defunct
school. Atlanta, the capitol of the
New South, was chosen as the new
home of the school which had
operated in close proximity to
the South 's antebellum capitol in
Milledgeville. After an inauspi-
cious beginning in Atlanta the
school closed its doors for good
in 1872.

The "resurrection" of Old
Oglethorpe was the product of

the formidable imagination and
shrewd fundraising ideas of
Thomwell Jacobs. By appropri-
ating the name of the long-ex-
tinct school, Thornwell hoped to
acquire assets foreign to iuiy new
school: a sense of tradition and
a preexisting pool of alumni.

The second m^lh on the sign
out front is the description of
Oglethorpe as a university. Even
with the relatively recent addi-
tion of graduate programs in edu-
cation and business, Oglethorpe
is more precisely a college than
a university. Though it may sound
hke institutioniil nitpicking, the
distinction was compelling
enough for Oglethorpe to offi-
cially change its name to
Oglethoi-pe College in '66 until
71, when an urge for artificial
prestige tamed the instinct for
truth.

On the 139-year anniversary of James Oglethorpe's birth, 21
December 1835, the charter establishing Oglethorpe Uiiiver-
sit\' was issued. On 31 March 1837 the cornerstone was hiid for
Central Hall. Joseph Lane Sr completed the first c;impus building
in 1840 at the cost of $38,000. Central Hall contained a large
chapel surrounded by faculty offices, classrooms aiid a library. A
museum was housed in the basement. This hthograph of Central
Hall graces the dust jacket of the school's definitive history, Allen
Tankerslcy's "Life at Old Oglethorpe."

On his mother's advice Sidney Lanier attended Oglethorpe. Oglethorp
most renowned 19tli century alumnus served a.s president of the Tlialis
Society and graduated at the top of liis class in 1860. Long before the str(
intersection at the entrance to Post Oglethoqie apartments, Lanier cross
paths with James Woodrow. The school's distinguished professor of nai
nd science became a mentor to young Sidney. Before his untimely dei
Sidney achieved considerable stature as a Southern poet.

Oglethorpe's most accom-
plished athlete Luke
Apphng ('32) bears a strik-
ing resemblance to Scott
Zannini as he practices on
present-day Anderson Field.
Luke's '30 squad went unde-
feated winning the Southern
Intercollegiate Champion-
ship. After hitting four home
nms in the final game of the
season, the talented sopho-
more ended his college ca-
reer by signing a contract with
the minor league Atlanta
Crackers. In his 20-year pro-
fessional career, the power-
hil shortstop hit .310, with a
career-high .388 in '36. In
'64 he was inducted into the
Major League Baseball HaU
of Fame in Cooperstown, NY.
Luke's Oglethorpe record for
single-season batting average
stood until Tim Crowley hit
.434 to break it in '97. Steve
Loureiro broke Tim's record
in '98.

\fter winning the NCAA Southern region, the '62-'63 Petrels
hoist up Coach Garland Pinholster to cut down the nets. The
iam would go on to finish third nationally. Garland's teams notched
80 wins in his ten-vear career as coach in the '50s and '60s.

Flight of the
Stortny Petrel

Oglethorpe entered "big time
football in fall '20, with the ambitious
goal of defeating (ieorgia Tech. The
(ioldeii Tornado, as Tech was then
known, held the Petrels scoreless until
'22. But by '25 Tech could no longer
consider Oglethorpe to be a warm-
up game. The Petrels gave their
crosstown rival a scare losing 13-7.

The high-water mark of Oglethorpe
football came on 25 September '26,
w'hcn the Petrels achieved their goal,
beating Tech 7-6 before a stunned
crowd of 10,000 at Grant Field. In
the close contest Tech coach Wilham
Alexander played 31 Yellow Jackets
while Oglethorpe coach Harry
Robertson used only 15 players. Harn-
opted for an extremely conservative
game plan. Running from its famed
mihtary shift, Oglethorpe threw no
passes. The Yellow Jackets took to the
air with 14 passes, reportedly more
than had been attempted since the
forward pass was invented, but only
four were completed for a total gain
of eight yards.

The turning point of the game came
midway in the third quarter.

Oglethorpe quarterback Kenneth
"Nutty" Campbell, the apparent ball
carrier, raced around right end:
houeser. after the shift the ball had,
in fact, been snapped directly to
freshman halfback Columbus "Cy"
Bell. The fake worked beautifully Cy
dashed around left end unchallenged
at first. When the Tech defenders
recovered, Cy executed a shifting open
field run that ended with a swan dive
into the end zone. Reliable Nutty
Campbell's dropkick on the point
after the touchdown was good. The
7-0 lead stood until the end of the
fourth quarter, when Tech scored a
touchdown. With the game on the
hne Oglethorpe smothered the exira
point attempt and thus earned one of
the most starthng upsets Southern
football has ever known.

At the end of the game, the scene
enacted by the Oglethorpe fans was
pure bedlam. The Atlanta
Constitution reported that the
impromptu street parade formed by
Oglethorpe fans "ruined streetcar
schedules and the peace of do-wntown
Atlanta. "

Rebirth

"There is a good chance that
Oglethorpe University does not
know what it is about."
So went the opening sentence of
a report prepared by the Southern
Association Visiting CommiUee
explaining why the school would
be denied accreditation in 74.
Two months after Manning
Pattillo assumed the presidency
of the university in 75, a Stormy
Petrel writer echoed the
criticisms voiced by the Southern
Association writing, "It is evident
that Oglethorpe needs to have its
pui-pose speUed out, especially
since the University appears to be
at such an important turning
point." Pattillo's presidency
proved the prescience of the
paper's prognosticator. The
school had reached a turning
point, and Manning imswered the
challenge.

Manning assumed office 1
September 75 after a 15-month
nationwide search, the most
extensive presidential selection

process in the history of th
school. The new leader wante
to focus the institutional missio
of the school by emphasizing th
importance of the Englis
tradition of liberal art

smacked of the enlightene

When Manning left in '8^

it was about and a better feeUn;

Like a dose of institutional Viagra Man-

Appetite Jor Construction

If viewed in time-lapse photography the
physical transformation of campus in the
'90s would be astonishing. During the
presidency of Donald Stanton Oglethorpe's
square footage has doubled. The
renovation of Lowry Hall into Weltner
Library in '91 began the architectural
whirlwind. The $5.5 million Conant
Performing Arts Center capped a building
boom unrivaled since the '60s. Greek
housing ('93), Schmidt Recreation Center
('94), physical plant ('96) and the once-
new residence hall ('96) went up ahnost
as quickly as flora, fauna and other
impediments could be cleared away
While the indigenous campus ecosystem
has taken a hit during Donald's presidency,
the work of the Campus Beautification
Committee has vastly improved

Oglethorpe's artificial landscape. After
memorial plantings were undertaken to
commemorate the service of Manning and
Martha Pattillo in '88, Barbie Stanton
wanted to further pursue honorary
plantings and to improve the general
aesthetics of Oglethorpe's grounds. Barbie
cofounded the Campus Beautification
Committee, and the group has been
planting ever since. The Pattillo crepe
myrtles and oak were joined on the
academic quad by trees honoring past
presidents of the university. Plaques are
placed at the bases of all presidential
plantings, but not all memorials are
marked. For instance the magnohas lining
the sidewalk between GosUn and Lupton
honor longtime history professor Leo
Bilancio and his wife, Dorothy

Good minds, good morals, good m:mni'rs. SRidents squiuing 'round the hearth in Lupton H;dl exemplify die school's
first motto. Perhaps when Paul Vonk assumed the university presidency in summer '67 he expected liis imdergraduates
to closely resemble these model students, .\fter ;m early suney of campus he noted he hud "not seen :ui\ identifiable
beatniks." Apparently the beatniks were hiding. When Paid discovered the unkempt and slovenly appear;uice of male
students he attempted to institute a dress code. After violent student opposition die dress code was abandoned.

The namesake of Anderson Field came to
Oglethorpe in '15 to sene as athletic director.
From ' l6-'44, Frank developed 27 baseball play-
ers who went on to play professionally In addition
to his athletic duties Frank taught mathematics
and served as registrar. It was Frank's suggestion to
name the annual the yamacraiiin '19.

Roy Goslin
One year after the completion of the upper quad
dorms in '68, a $128,733 grant helped fund con-
struction of a new science building. .Named for se-
nior science professor Roy Goslin, the building re-
placed an even shoddier 30-\ear-old prefabricated
strucuire made of surplus World War II material.

Elgin MacConnell
After five nameless years, the mini-gotliic gatehouse was n
to honor Charles, Maijorie and Elgin MacConnell. Ch
taught at Oglethoi-pe in the '40s. Maijorie served as reg
from the '50s through the '70s. Charles and Mai-jorie'
Elgin came to Oglethorpe in "49. He served in many dift ;
capacities before retiring in the mid- '80s. Students knew
as Dean Mac.

Harrv' Putnam Hermance

The executive with the FW. Woolworth Company was invited to become an
Oglethorpe trustee in '17. When members of the football team asked him for
help developing the infant athletic program, Harry replied, "Boys, I don't know
how much I'll be able to help, but I'll sure do my damnedest. " On 4 December
' 19 Harry pledged to fund the construction of a stadium with a seating capacity of
40,000. Harry is pictured here enjoying the dedication of the first section of his
stadium, 26 October '29. Three days later Harrv- lost his entire fortune when the
stock market crashed. Plans for the remaining seven sections of the stadium have
been suspended indefinitely

John Thomas Lupton
John and his wife Bess break ground for Lupton Hall, 30 June '20. Lupton Hall \

third section, including the auditorium, honored Bess. Beginning with his pledgt
$10,000 on 1 November '14, John gave a total of $1,018,000 to Oglethorpe bef(
his death in 'H.

Phoebe Apperson Hearst
Phoebe's only son William Randolph, sitting at her left, made the
largest single donation to the campaign to found Oglethoi-pe.
After his $5000 gift in '13, the newspaper pubhsher supported
Oglethorpe for the rest of his Me. In '29 he agreed to purchase
400 acres surrounding Silver Lake for the university as a memo-
rial to his mother. The lake was renamed Lake Phoebe in her
honor, but the name never stuck. After a $50,000 grant from the
Hearst Foundation in '46, Oglethoi-pe named its oldest building
Phoebe Hearst Memorial Hall in '-i8.

Thornwell Jacobs

In his autobjograph} Thornwell wrote:
"The architecture of an in.stitution of
learning should be a constant vjurce of
dehght and inspiration to its students,
teaching quietly but surely the highest
ideals of life. \f)t less important are the
personal surroundings of the student's
room. Cheap, ugly and ill-equipped
apartments have exacth the same influ-
ence on the soul of a boy thai cheap,
ugly and ill-equipped human compan-
ions have. In brief, the college educa-
tion that does not teach a lo\ e of beauty
and order and what is popularly called
decency is essentially and dangerously
defective."

Upper quad planners deemed it appropriate to

name one of the upper quad dorms after him.

Thornwell is pictured on 6-1-5.

Emma Markham Lown
.Adjusted for inflation the S2"5.000 Emma be-
queathed to Oglethorpe in '23 translates roughly to
the value of a 16 inch by 24 inch honoraiy plaque

Steve Schmidt ('40)

In spring '95 the Stephen J. Schmidt Sports and
Recreation Center opened its doors. The addition
to Dorough Field House was made possible by Ste\ e's
generous lead gift. Nine years earher Steve and his
wife Jeanne ('42) were honored with the naming
of the women's dorm in the upper quad. Formerly
Oglethoipe Hall, perhaps the building was origi-
nally named for Steve, who was known as Mr.
Oglethorpe before the upper quad was a gUnt in a
developer's e\e. (Steve and Jeanne are picmred on
pages 12, ^Oand~I.

would he free to rebuild it as I chose. " Philip tleveloped the program of study which would become the
core curriculum. First articulated in a pamphlet titled The Oglethorpe Book. " the integrated academic
program would consist of "two complementary parts; one concerned with making a hfe, the other with
making a hving."

upper quad, baby

In celebration of the upper quad's
30th birthday party March 26,
Trustee's top tier residents brought
their ritual of dairy debauchery out
onto the quad. Past Milk Challenges
were held in the not-so-friendly con-
fines of Trustee's third floor an
uncomfortable place to visit, but at
least you don't hve there. Accord-
ing to Challenge rules a competitor
must consume a gallon of milk (at
least 2% fat) within an hour, and
refrain from reflux for a full hour
after the last drop is swallowed. Of
the lengthy list of past challengers
Chris Geronimos came the closest
to achieving lactic immortahty in
fall '97, when he became the first
to get the gaUon down, though it
found its whey back up shortly af-
ter Though no longer a student Chris
received special invitation to take
another pull off the cool wliite jug.
While other competitors seemed in
a hurry to hurl, Chris took a seat
and sipped steady under the blos-
soming cherry tree. After 47 stoic
minutes, cahn Chris rose from his
seat for his final gulp. In one fluid
motion he tossed his empty plastic
cup and ht a triumphant cigarette.
Biology professor Dan Schadler
guessed that Chris might have used

Lactaid, or a similar lactose inhibi-
tor. But sneaky Petrels past have
proved pharmaceuticals ineffective,
notably Anthony Kendall, whose '97
attempt is most memorable for the
amount of milk which splashed out
of the trashcan after Anthony's body
violently rejected it. (Of course the
force of Anthony's expulsion may
have had something to do with the
12-ounce beer ftinnel he used to con-
sume the milk.) Andy Milford tliinks
Chris' Greek ancestry may have
aided him. Not to diminish the im-
portance of a rich dairy heritage,
but the average molecule of goat's
milk the Greek cream of choice
for centuries pales in compari-
son to the much larger and more
formidable cow's milk molecule.
Don't tell the kiddies, but Chris at-
tributed his success to the number
of cigarettes he smoked while hold-
ing his mOk. After his first post-chug
drag Chris burned four cigarettes
while waiting for his 60-minute
vomit moratorium to expire.

From his first sip to his last puff
Chris' intestinal fortitude embodied

Crowd-pleaser Rob "Awesome" Rawson

Rob had the "milk shakes" a condition
of involuntan- quivering induced by rapid
dairy consumption a sure sign of immi-
nent pukage. Ten minutes later Rob had
evacuated all cream from his innards and
was ready to face the press. "Last year I
thought it could be done. This \ear I feel
better only because I know it's not humanly
possible " Rob told The Stormy Petrels
Catherine Borck. A httle over an hour after
Rob's declaration, Chris Geronimos made
history.

A new beginning

The commencement ceremony
Saturday, May 9, was a time to
look forward and a time to re-
member For many it meant the
conclusion of hard work, of
diligendy striving to excel. The
achievements of the Class of '98
will not be soon forgotten. Nor
will the friendships forged dur-
ing college days soon fade.
Could four years really pass so
quickly? It seems hke just yes-
terday that loving parents said
good-bye to the children they
had nurtured to adulthood.
Those confused freshman en-
countered new roonmiates, new
freedom and new academic
challenges. And in the midst of
impossible midterms, all-night
cram sessions, 8:30 classes and
overwhehning reading assign-
ments, these young students be-
gan the path to true scholar-

sliip. While it wasn't easy the
rewards were great.

At the most difficult times the
Class of '98 came together hke
a family Whether it was peer
tutoring, reassuring words or
hstening ears, the Class became
an inclusive support group.
And the support did not end
with academics. Relationsliips,
family problems and financial
struggles were all remedied by
caring classmates.

As the Class of '98 rose to sing
the ahna mater one final time,
they stood as a group. Each in-
dividual member contributed m
her own way to make the occa-
sion mean so much. The same
parents who reluctantly left
their darlings now swelled with
pride as they shared in the
achievement of their sons and
daughters.

Foveraor Zell Miller wore cowboy boots.

Christina Bumham

Another day another trophy ,,.
or two. Shortly after lea\ing the
stage with the Sally Hull Ueltner
Award for her perfect cumulative
grade point average. Valerie
Holshouser returned to the stage
to accept the James Edward
Oglethorpe Award from Malcolm
.Emerson. In addition to the a\vards
announced at the beginning of
commencement. \'alerie's gradua-
tion garb had enough badges of
merit to make any girl scout en\i-
ous. The FuUbright Scholar
accesorized with the help of the
honors program, urban leadership
program, AX and OAK.

Thoughts on the IRS from Mr. Mobbs

little abuse. Over all. the Ik's has Invn vcn.- reasonable and very coopeiative sviih me regarding tax mailers and taxpayer concctns. I have had
a lot of success in negoliaung ssith the IKS (9S''o in favor of taxpayers). In sonic cases the IRS may have to use then authority to ensure thai
all taxes arc paid properly. 1 he IRs ciicouiagcs taxpaseis to keep good records and ihcy also plovide a toll free number to call for (fee
sen ices 800-829- 10-101. In 1981 the declaiaiion of taxpayer tights was established to further help individuals know their rights and
roponsibilities. Vou may obtain a copv by calling the toll free number and requesting publication 1 catalog #64731 w or write to: IRS

Hard work, long hours nnd dedication all contribute to success.

A busmevi owner must W willing to keep going despite all obstacles. 'i"hit means having the strength and personal cornmiimeni to solve

eNxrv problem encountered along the way. Personal commitment is the greatest factor to lucccw. Having a vision and the ability to

commuiutate that to your associates leads to a successful business. Business owners build companies based on a strong vision of what they

want to accomplish and a dedication to making that vision a reality. The reward of working hard, staying long houts, and taking risks can

be a succesitui business endeavor

AJso. a successful buiincsifvrson ihaics success and knowledge with others He will assist others to achie%e their goals in life. Helping

othco to stay in business will help you stay in business. Arioihet means of helping others is through financing the education ol employees

Be wtllmg to share yout knowledge as well as sour income. In the past, Mobbs Business Services has helped

finance education lot some employees

A successful busmesii,><rion will djily tctntnd himsclt that the single most important factor in his life and business

IS. what I refer to as. "the bottom line." 1 he bottom line" is following God and responding to his direction. God

created man in his ov^n image and He is the key reason for anyone's success. If God is for us then who can be

against us? Abraham u as a successful businesiman who went out with nothing but faiih. He was also a missionary

and a servant of God He moved about from place to place Kfving (io<l and his community. God does not call us

to be successful, He Joes call us to be faithful At ptesent, Mobbs Buiincis 5C Insurance Services help sponsors

An Oglecentric view of
Phoebe Apperson Hearst would re-
duce her to the belated namesake
of the schools original building. She
lived in the interim between
Oglethorpes and was only posthu-
mously connected with the univer-
sit\'. Ten years after her death, when
Thornwell Jacobs pitched the pur-
chase of Silver Lake to Will-
iam Randolph Hearst, he appealed
to the memory of his deceased
mother Phoebe. If her only son's
attempt to memoriahze her had suc-
ceeded, her name would have never
foimd its way to the academic quad.
But Luke Phoebe never held the
same ring as Silver Lake for north
Atlanta residents. And even if the
name had stuck to the Brookhaven
body of water, the financially
strapped institution could not have
afforded to maintain the lake as part
of its campus. But before
Oglethoi*pe did divest itself of
ahem Lake Phoebe, the school
took $50,000 of encouragement
from the Hearst Foundation into
account and named the its generi-
cally-known administration build-
ing Phoebe Hearst Memorial Hall
in December '48.

However indirect the university's
connection to her may seem, the
Yamacraw does not wish to dimin-
ish Oglethorpe's bond to Phoebe.
Instead, we would hke to recognize
Phoebe's value to the university in
broadt "ontext.

Ever sh her stint as a pubhc
school teac. ni; .r to marrying
George Hearst -^' 2 Phnebe de-
voted much of her . rsoiirces

to the improvement of educatio
opportunities for young America
She estabhshed kindergartens 2
libraries from San Francisco
Washington, D.C., including
mining communities which gr
around her husband's properties
Utah, South Dakota and Montai
She estabhshed training schools ;
teachers. Along with Ahce McLeU
Birney she founded the Parei
Teacher Association of America a
served as its first vice preside
While she continued to support c
educational kindergartens, she tO'
a special interest in founding t
National Cathedral School for gir
As she grew older Phoebe tool-
greater interest in higher educatic
She concentrated her efforts on ti
development of the University
Cahfornia at Berkeley, where si
served as regent in 1897 and
1914. In keeping with her earU
commitments to women's educ
tion, she devoted special attentic
to the interests of Berkeley's fema
students. She donated a Hearst Hi
in 1901 and presented the Hear
Memorial Mining Building to tl
growing school in I9O8. The fello\
ships, lectureships and scholarshii
she funded are innumerable.

While observance of the 50th am
versary of Oglethorpe's Hearst Ei
should commemorate the genero,
ity of William Randolph Hearst an
the Hearst Foundation, the occasio
presents a special opportunity t
celebrate the life's work of Phoeb
Apperson Hearst.
