The  Gifts  of  3,086  alumnae  to  the 
1977-78  Agnes  Scott  Fund  totaled 
$377,702.  This  included  bequests  of 
$158,094  from  the  estate  of  Laura 
Steele  '37,  and  $2,970  from  that  of 
Florence  Smith  Sims  "13,  as  well  as  a 
$16,000  annuity.  This  number  of 
donors  represents  35  percent  of  the 
8.888  active  alumnae. 

With  the  leadership  of  William  C. 
Wardlaw  of  Atlanta  as  General 
Chairman  and  Elizabeth  Blackshear 
(Lib)  Flinn  '38  of  Atlanta  as  Alumnae 
Chairman,  some  4,176  alumnae  and

purposes.  Gifts  for  student  loan  funds 
are  meeting  a  growing  need.  Sometimes 
a  donor  will  make  a  gift  but  will  select 
a  life-income  plan  such  as  an  annuity, 
thereby  benefiting  both  the  College 
and  the  donor. 

Agnes  Scott  is  indebted  to  alumnae 
and  friends  for  their  interest  and 


generosity  in  establishing  the 
following  permanent  fimds  for  the 
College.  The  amount  shown  for  each 
fund  represents  the  total  of  all  gifts 
received  through  September  15,  1978. 
This  list  describes  individually  all 
funds  of  S  1,000  or  more,  but  it  does 
not  include  scholarships  provided 
anuLially  by  the  donors.

THE  PRESIDENT'S  REPORT 


FOR  1977-78 


E  AGNES  SCOTT  YEAR 


•  eighty-ninth  academic  year  —  and  my  fifth  as 
sident  —  was  an  unusually  full  one,  with  a  schedule  of 
ies  and  pleasures  which  seems  to  grow  each  year  in 
e  and  pressures  despite  the  welcome  intervals  of 
■eation  and  reflection  when  we  can  appreciate  the 
uty  and  serenity  which  are  the  setting  here  for  all  our 
y  days. 

t  is  hard  to  realize  that  five  college  years  have  come 
gone  since  my  family  and  I  moved  into  the  President's 
ise  on  Candler  Street  in  July,  1973.  For  us  these  have 
n  five  years  of  happy  associations  and  friendships,  of 
sfactions  which  even  the  inevitable  demands  and 
blems  of  a  president's  job  have  not  diminished.  A 
tion  of  this  annual  report  will  be  devoted  to  a  brief 
imary  of  these  past  five  years.  It  is  good  to  take  stock 
asionally,  to  see  what  has  been  accomplished  and  what 
remains  to  be  done,  to  gain  a  fresh  perspective  in  the 
it  of  past  events,  to  measure  recent  achievements  against 
lier  projections  and  hopes.  But  first,  a  look  at  the 
7-78  academic  year. 

^ew  members  of  the  Agnes  Scott  community  would 
;ct  the  same  events  and  developments  in  trying  to  list 
highlights  of  a  given  college  year.  But  there  are  usually 
le  which  most  of  us  would  agree  have  contributed  in 
lificant  measure  to  the  year  and  to  our  ongoing 
icational  program.  I  have  made  a  selection  for  mention 
e;  others  of  perhaps  equal  importance  could  certainly 
cited. 

[Tie  academic  year  saw  both  renewed  commitment  to 
liberal  arts  tradition  and  the  addition  of  several  new 
irses  and  programs  which  add  flexibility  and  appeal  to 
curriculum,  especially  for  those  students  interested  in 
eers  after  graduation.  New  freshmen/sophomore 
linars  included  such  offerings  as  "Women  in  Art," 


"Chemistry  of  Over  the  Counter  Drugs,"  and  "Rags  to 
Revolution"  (American  jazz).  We  saw  our  first  student 
enrolled  in  the  new  Agnes  Scott-Georgia  Tech  dual  degree 
program  in  engineering,  and  this  program  with  Georgia 
Tech  was  expanded  to  include  degree  programs  in 
computer  science  and  industrial  management.  Through 
the  R.O.T.C.  programs  at  Georgia  Tech,  Agnes  Scott 
students  may  now  receive  academic  credit  and  a 
commission  in  the  Air  Force  or  Navy  R.O.T.C. 
Scholarships  are  also  available  with  these  programs.  We 
expect  to  have  our  first  students  in  them  in  the  coming 
year. 

How  can  a  liberal  arts  education  be  strengthened  to 
make  it  an  even  more  effective  preparation  for  professional 
and  business  careers?  This  is  a  question  which 
faculties  in  colleges  like  Agnes  Scott  have  been  much 
concerned  with  in  recent  years.  More  and  more  of  our 
students  are  interested  in  business  careers  as  well  as  in  the 
traditional  professions.  Accordingly,  in  the  summer  of 
1977  a  Faculty  Task  Force  surveyed  a  number  of  high 
ranking  corporate  executives  throughout  the  Southeast  by 
means  of  a  questionnaire  which  sought  their  advice  as  to 
courses  which  would  be  most  useful  to  the  liberal  arts 
graduate  seeking  entry  into  such  careers  as  banking, 
advertising,  publishing,  insurance,  manufacturing,  utilities, 
and  law.  Response  to  the  questionnaire  was  excellent,  and 
in  the  spring  of  1978  the  faculty  approved  a  program 
proposed  by  the  Task  Force  called  a  "Preparatory  Program 
for  Business."  The  program  will  be  offered  for  the  first 
time  in  1978-79  and  consists  of  some  nineteen  courses  in 
such  diverse  fields  as  economics.  English,  mathematics, 
psychology,  philosophy,  political  science,  and  theatre.  A 
student  must  complete  nine  of  these  courses  in  three  areas. 
Her  official  transcript  at  graduation  will  then  carry  the 
notation  that  she  has  completed  the  "Preparatory  Program 
for  Business."  The  program  does  not  alter  requirements 
for  graduation,  nor  does  it  constitute  a  major,  but  it  can 
be  useful  in  choosing  related  elective  hours  required  for 
graduation.  Although  the  program  does  not  of  course 
guarantee  a  student  a  job  at  graduation,  it  should  help 
her  to  become  familiar  with  the  basic  skills  and  knowledge 
required  for  entry  level  positions  in  business  today. 
Advance  registration  this  past  spring  indicates  a  strong 
interest  in  this  new  program. 

Among  departmental  innovations  this  past  year  was  a 
colloquium  sponsored  by  the  Department  of  Philosophy 
under  the  title  "Man's  Control  of  Life:  an  Examination  of 
Values."  On  nine  successive  Thursday  afternoons  in  the 
winter  and  early  spring  there  were  discussions  in  the 
faculty  club  followed  by  dinner  in  the  President's  Room 
of  Letitia  Pate  Evans  Dining  Hall.  The  colloquium 
featured  visting  speakers  from  the  Atlanta  community, 
with  follow-up  discussion  sessions  chaired  by  professors 
Richard  Parry  and  David  Behan  of  the  Agnes  Scott 
Department  of  Philosophy.  The  purpose  of  the  colloquium 
was  to  explore  a  series  of  contemporary  issues  related  to 
traditional  philosophical  concerns  and  to  provide  students 
a  forum  in  which  "to  practice  their  dialectical  skills." 

Once  again  Agnes  Scott's  annual  Writers'  Festival  was 
a  distinct  success.  Held  on  April  13  and  14,  the  Festival 
brought  practicing  authors  and  poets  to  the  campus  to 
meet  with  Georgia  college  students  and  to  discuss  with 
them  the  craft  of  writing.  Among  the  professional  writers 


23 


participating  were  novelist  John  Yount,  poet  Larry  Rubin, 
and  fiction  writer  and  poet  Josephine  Jacobsen.  Panel 
discussions  with  students  were  led  by  Nathalie  Anderson, 
published  poet  and  alumna,  and  David  Barton,  published 
poet  and  Assistant  Professor  of  English  at  Agnes  Scott,  as 
well  as  visiting  teachers.  Prizes  of  $100  each  were  awarded 
for  the  best  short  story  and  the  best  poem  submitted  for 
the  contest  by  Georgia  college  student  writers.  This  was 
the  seventh  consecutive  year  that  the  Festival  has  been 
presented  by  the  Department  of  English  at  Agnes  Scott. 

In  the  area  of  the  natural  sciences,  the  chemistry 
departments  of  Agnes  Scott  College  and  Georgia  State 
University  offered  undergraduate  chemistry  majors  the 
opportunity  this  past  summer  to  conduct  research  with 
faculty  members.  Directed  by  Professor  Marion  Clark, 
Kenan  Professor  of  Chemistry  at  Agnes  Scott,  this 
undergraduate  Research  Participation  Program,  funded 
by  a  grant  from  the  National  Science  Foundation,  gave  our 
students  the  opportunity  to  experience  full-time  research 
activity  in  the  company  of  professional  scientists  and  thus 
to  discover  whether  or  not  they  were  seriously  interested 
in  scientific  research.  In  addition  to  materials  and  overhead 
expenses,  the  program  provided  a  $900  stipend  for  each 
student  for  the  ten-week  session.  Agnes  Scott's  Department 
of  Chemistry  is  one  of  a  very  few  in  Georgia  which  has 


been  accepted  for  the  National  Science  Foundation's 
Undergraduate  Research  Participation  Program.  This 
recent  grant  was  the  fifth  which  Agnes  Scott  and  Georgia 
State  have  received  for  this  cooperative  summer  program. 

New  in  the  Department  of  Art  this  year  was  a  print- 
making  laboratory  described  by  Professor  of  Art  Leland 
Staven  as  "one  of  the  best  equipped  in  any  college  in  the 
Southeast."  The  laboratory  boasts  three  motorized  presses, 
two  vacuum-operated  silk  screen  machines,  a  photographj 
darkroom,  and  numerous  drying  racks.  Students  in  print- 
making  courses  learn  basic  etching  and  silk  screening 
techniques  as  well  as  photography  processes  which  can  be 
used  in  combination  with  etching  and  silk  screening. 

For  the  second  successive  year  the  faculty  held  a  most 
enjoyable  and  productive  retreat  during  the  winter  term, 
this  time  at  Pine  Isle  on  the  shores  of  Lake  Lanier  near 
Gainesville.  This  year's  theme  was  "Building  a  Great 
Faculty,"  and  some  75  faculty  members  met  for  a 
weekend  of  lively  discussion  in  a  friendly  and  informal 
atmosphere  which  allowed  time  also  for  meals  together,  a 
Saturday  evening  party,  and  a  Sunday  morning  chapel 
service.  From  this  second  annual  faculty  retreat,  as  from 
the  first,  came  a  number  of  productive  ideas  for  the  future 
as  well  as  an  increased  sense  of  mutual  appreciation  and 
friendship  among  colleagues.  A  third  retreat  is  planned 
for  the  winter  term  of  1979. 

The  close  of  this  academic  year  brought  the  retirement 
from  active  duty  of  Assistant  Professor  of  Mathematics 
Ronald  B.  Wilde  after  thirteen  years  of  service  to  the 
College.  Mr.  Wilde  was  a  popular  teacher  and  an  active 
member  of  the  College  community.  By  vote  of  the  Board 
of  Trustees  at  the  spring  meeting  he  was  granted 
emeritus  status. 

The  recruiting  of  sufficient  numbers  of  qualified  student 
continues  to  be  a  top  priority  at  Agnes  Scott.  It  is  pleasant 
to  report,  therefore,  that  this  fall's  entering  class  will 
be  slightly  larger  than  that  which  entered  in  September, 
1977.  We  are  encouraged,  too,  by  last  year's  retention 
figures  for  upperclassmen.  For  example.  Dean  of  Students 
Martha  Kirkland  reported  at  the  spring  meeting  of  the 
Board  of  Trustees  that  as  of  last  May  10  over  84% 
of  the  students  eligible  for  return  in  September  had 
re-registered.  She  reported  further  that  the  1978  graduating 
class  of  1 10  seniors  was  72%  as  large  as  the  freshman 
class  which  entered  in  1974  —  a  figure  far  above  the 
national  average.  Despite  these  encouraging  figures, 
recruiting  and  enrollment  remain  major  challenges  for 
the  entire  College  community.  To  be  sure,  the  Office  of 
Admissions  and  the  Faculty  Admissions  Committee  are 
leaders  in  our  efforts  to  enroll  and  retain  students, 
but  success  in  this  vital  work  is  dependent  upon  all 
sectors  of  the  College  family:  students  and  faculty, 
administrators  and  trustees,  and  alumnae.  We  continue 
to  intensify  our  recruiting  activities  with  new  publications 
and  enlarged  mailing  lists,  greater  efforts  in  bringing 
prospective  students  to  the  campus,  and  more  involvement 
of  alumnae  groups  in  recruiting  throughout  the  country. 
For  example,  the  Admissions  Office  and  the  Student 
Admissions  Representatives  sponsored  last  November  an 
"Advance"  for  junior  and  senior  high  school  students 
considering  Agnes  Scott  as  a  possible  college  choice. 
The  largest  group  ever  to  attend  an  event  of  this  kind  at 
the  College,  166  students,  came  to  the  campus  from 


24 


ven  states  and  Venezuela  to  take  an  advanced  look 
;ollege  classes  and  dormitory  life.  They  met  faculty 
mbers  from  every  department,  as  well  as  the  directors 
admissions,  financial  aid,  and  career  planning;  discussed 
ious  aspects  of  "advances  in  self-awareness"  in  clusters 
by  faculty,  students,  and  alumnae;  toured  "Atlanta 
night"  on  buses;  and  found  free  tickets  available  for 
Atlanta  Symphony,  the  Blackfriars  production,  or  an 
anta  Hawks  basketball  game.  The  final  event  of  the 
dvance"  was  an  informal  question  and  answer  session 
h  the  President  after  which  the  prospective  students 
re  invited  to  visit  the  President's  home.  The  "Advance" 
1  be  repeated  in  the  coming  year.  Among  new 
jlications  aimed  primarily  at  prospective  students 
.  most  attractive  full-color  brochure  describing  briefly 
Agnes  Scott  campus  and  the  Atlanta  community 
1  featuring  a  striking  drawing  of  the  campus  and 
Idings  and  a  map  of  the  Atlanta  area  with  directions 
reaching  the  College.  (Copies  of  this  brochure  are 
lilable  on  request  to  my  office  or  the  Office  of 
missions.) 

Vith  respect  to  overall  College  enrollment,  we  have 
ceeded  in  the  past  few  years  in  halting  the  progressive 
iline  in  enrollment  and  stabilizing  it  in  the  mid-500's 
hout  sacrificing  academic  quality.  This  year's  entering 
5S,  for  example,  contains  six  National  Merit  Scholars 
A'ell  as  Air  Force  and  Navy  R.O.T.C.  scholarship 
iners.  While  we  are  most  encouraged  by  the  continuing 
h  quality  of  entering  classes  at  Agnes  Scott,  we  are 
;  satisfied  with  the  results  of  our  efforts  toward 
reasing  numbers.  We  are  continuing  our  efforts  in 
ry  way  consistent  with  maintaining  traditional  standards 
h  academic  and  personal.  The  active  participation  of 
mnae  in  these  efforts  is  most  important. 

'  am  sorry  to  report  the  resignation  of  our  Director 
Admissions  Mrs.  Ann  Rivers  Hutcheson  '59,  effective 
i  past  July  1.  Following  her  marriage  last  year,  Mrs. 
tcheson  found  that  her  growing  obligations  to  her 
lily  at  a  critical  time  in  their  lives  made  her  decision 
:essary.  She  has  rendered  outstanding  service  to  Agnes 
itt  as  Director  of  Admissions  since  1973,  developing 
lost  capable  staff  which,  under  her  leadership,  has 
ried  out  an  energetic  and  intensive  admissions  program 
tnusually  difficult  times  for  all  private  colleges. 
Qes  Scott  remains  greatly  in  her  debt. 

\s  a  successor  to  Ann  Rivers  Hutcheson,  Judith  Maguire 
idel  '73  was  appointed  Director  of  Admissions  effective 
y  1,  1978.  We  were  most  fortunate  to  have  on  our 
nissions  staff  a  person  of  outstanding  capabilties  and 
)erience  to  succeed  Mrs.  Hutcheson.  Mrs.  Tindel  joined 
admissions  staff  in  1973,  following  her  graduation 
m  Agnes  Scott,  and  was  appointed  Assistant  Director 
Admissions  in  1976.  Her  exceptional  personal  qualities 
1  devotion  to  Agnes  Scott  are  enhanced  by  unusual 
;rgy  and  organizing  ability.  She  is  already  hard  at  work, 
i  I  am  confident  that  she  and  her  staff  will  continue 
the  splendid  tradition  of  Ann  Rivers  Hutcheson 
d  the  late  Laura  Steele  '37. 

Our  efforts  in  admissions  and  retention  have  been 
;atly  aided  by  the  very  capable  work  of  our  new  Director 
Financial  Aid,  Bonnie  Brown  Johnson  '70,  who 
umed  her  duties  only  last  year.  Already  Mrs.  Johnson 
i  brought  to  our  financial  aid  program  new  enthusiasm 


and  standards  of  professional  performance.  Today  over 
70%  of  our  students  receive  some  form  of  financial 
assistance,  and  our  financial  aid  budget  exceeds  one-half 
million  dollars. 

Another  office  which  receives  increasing  attention 
from  our  students  and  planners  each  year  is  the  Office 
of  Career  Planning.  Agnes  Scott  students,  like  their  sister 
students  everywhere,  are  showing  more  interest  in 
opportunities  and  careers  in  business,  especially 
in  those  areas  hitherto  virtually  closed  to  them.  As  a 
consequence,  the  scope  of  our  career  planning  activities 
has  been  extended  with  corresponding  increases  in 
personnel,  facilities,  and  budget.  In  July  of  this  year 
Mrs.  Kathleen  K.  Mooney  succeeded  Miss  lone  Murphy 
as  Director  of  Career  Planning,  and  Miss  Murphy  assumed 
new  duties  as  Coordinator,  Alumnae  Services,  Office  of 
Career  Planning.  A  graduate  of  Notre  Dame  College 
of  St.  John's  University  in  New  York,  Mrs.  Mooney  also 
holds  a  master's  degree  in  political  science  from  Syracuse 
University  and  comes  to  Agnes  Scott  from  Bryn  Mawr 
College  where  she  held  the  position  of  Assistant  Director 
of  Career  Planning  and  Administrator  of  the  Summer 
Institute  for  Women  in  Higher  Education  Administration. 

Our  career  planning  programs  are  by  no  means  limited 
to  undergraduate  students,  and  each  year  greater  numbers 
of  alumnae  and  Atlanta  area  women  avail  themselves 
of  our  services.  One  of  the  most  successful  of  the  past 
year's  activities  was  a  workshop  conducted  by  Mr.  Richard 
Irish,  made  possible  through  the  generous  gift  of  an 
alumna.  Entitled  "How  to  Hire  Yourself  an  Employer," 
the  workshop  was  open  to  Atlanta  area  women  but  limited 
to  50  persons.  Almost  three  times  that  number  applied, 
and  of  the  actual  participants  24  were  alumnae  and  one 
was  an  undergraduate. 

Our  Carnegie  Administrative  Intern  this  year.  Miss 
Fatma  Kassamali,  was  assigned  to  the  Officer  of  Career 
Planning;  and  her  project  for  the  year  was  the  preparation 
of  a  Career  Planning  Manual.  It  should  be  of  great 
help  in  the  future  to  those  seeking  to  use  the  facilities 
of  the  Career  Planning  Office.  An  innovation  during 
the  year  was  a  career  newsletter  which  was  made  available 
to  all  students.  Placed  in  the  residence  halls  for 
distribution,  the  publication  featured  job  outlook 
information,  summer  and  part-time  job  opportunities, 
and  related  information. 

In  the  area  of  student  life  and  student  activities,  the 
year  was  a  busy  and  exciting  one  indeed.  At  the  beginning 
of  her  annual  report  to  me,  Dean  of  Students  Martha 
Kirkland  wrote,  "If  ever  I  plan  to  retire  in  order  to  write 
the  proverbial  novel,  this  would  be  the  year."  That 
introductory  sentence  was  followed  by  a  straightforward 
and  comprehensive  summary  of  student  activities:  crises 
and  problems  as  well  as  joys  and  accomplishments. 
In  other  areas  of  this  report,  especially  in  the  listing 
of  the  year's  highlights,  a  number  of  these  developments 
are  mentioned.  Suffice  it  to  say  here  that  Dean  Kirkland 
concluded  her  report  with  the  statement  that  the  most 
enjoyable  part  of  being  the  Dean  of  Students  at  Agnes 
Scott  continues  to  be  "the  opportunity  to  work  with 
students  .  .  .  and  the  joy  of  working  with  my  staff." 
The  student  reaction  to  her  year's  work  was  happily 
expressed  by  a  "Dean  of  Students  Appreciation  Day" 
this  past  spring,  when  students  feted  the  Dean  and  her 


25 


staff  with  a  variety  of  activities  reflecting  their  appreciation 
of  her  concern  for  them. 

I  have  mentioned  above  the  gratifying  decrease  this  past 
year  in  the  number  of  students  transferring  or  dropping 
out.  As  one  evidence  of  this  fact,  Assistant  Dean  of 
Students  Mollie  Merrick  '57  reports  that  during  the 
1977-78  year  transcripts  were  sent  to  other  colleges  for 
75  students.  Of  those  75,  37  are  returning  to  Agnes  Scott 
and  38  are  transferring  or  dropping  out.  In  contrast  are 
comparable  figures  for  1976-77,  when  54  out  of  90 
students  sending  transcripts  to  other  colleges  left  from  a 
student  body  which  was  slightly  larger.  Such  figures, 
I  believe,  are  evidence  of  the  active  and  individual  concern 
shown  for  our  students  not  only  by  the  Dean  of  Students 
and  the  Dean  of  Faculty  and  their  dedicated  staffs 
but  also  by  virtually  all  who  teach  and  serve  in  other 
ways  at  Agnes  Scott. 

On  assuming  my  duties  here  five  years  ago,  I  expressed 
the  hope  that  "Agnes  Scott  can  become  recognized 
increasingly  as  one  of  the  chief  cultural  centers  of  the 
Atlanta  area."  I  believe  we  are  continuing  to  make  progress 
toward  that  goal,  as  the  following  selective  listing  of 
"highlights"  will  indicate.  Again  it  is  worth  noting  that 
the  great  majority  of  these  events,  plus  many  not  listed 
here,  were  open  to  our  neighbors  and  friends  in  Decatur 
and  Greater  Atlanta.

-Eighty-ninth  Commencement:  110  seniors 
awarded  degrees 

Baccalaureate  Preacher:  Bishop  William  R.  Cannon, 
Resident  Bishop,  The  United  Methodist  Church 
in  Georgia 

-  Beginning  of  summer  conference  program 


Again  under  the  creative  and  efficient  leadership  of 
Alumnae  Association  President  Mary  Duckworth 
Gellerstedt  '46  and  Director  of  Alumnae  Affairs 
Virginia  Brown  McKenzie  '47  the  Alumnae  Association 
enjoyed  another  memorable  year.  My  admiration  for  our 
alumnae  throughout  the  world  increases  with  each  year  of 
my  service  at  Agnes  Scott.  Their  loyalty  and  concern  for 
the  College  are  evidenced  in  numerous  ways,  but  their 
own  lives  and  achievement  and  service  are  the  most 
telling  testimony  to  the  quality  of  the  educational 
experience  each  of  their  succeeding  classes  has  found 
at  Agnes  Scott.  In  the  past  year  I  have  enjoyed  individual 
visits  with  them  in  many  places,  and  I  have  met  and 
spoken  with  them  more  formally  not  only  in  Atlanta  and 
Decatur  but  also  in  Columbia,  South  Carolina;  Jackson, 
Mississippi;  Memphis;  Florence,  South  Carolina;  Chapel 
Hill  (The  Triangle  Club:  Chapel  Hill,  Durham,  Raleigh); 
and  Abingdon,  Virginia  (The  Tri-Cities  Club). 

One  of  the  year's  highlights,  especially  from  a  national 
viewpoint,  was  the  meeting  at  Agnes  Scott  of  alumnae 
association  presidents  and  directors  of  twelve  leading 
women's  colleges  throughout  the  country.  On  Alumnae 
Day.  April  22,  some  650  returning  alumnae  gathered  for 
lunch  in  the  dining  hall  after  individual  class  reunion 
meetings  and  the  annual  meeting  of  the  Alumnae 
Association.  At  the  meeting  Outstanding  Alumnae  Awards 
were  presented  to  Page  Ackerman  '33  (Distinguished 
Career),  to  Bertha  Merrill  Holt  '38  (Community  Service), 
and  to  Betty  Lou  Houck  Smith  '35  (Service  to  Agnes 
Scott). 

Under  the  capable  directorship  of  Sylvia  Williams 
Ingram  '52,  Alumnae  Association  Chairman  for 
Continuing  Education,  a  number  of  alumnae  enjoyed 
visiting  historic  sites  in  Charleston,  South  Carolina,  and 
Thomasville,  Georgia,  during  the  year.  George  and 
Evangeline  Papageorge  '28  led  a  most  enthusiastic  group 
of  alumnae  to  Greece  and  the  Aegean  in  May. 

At  the  end  of  this  session,  Mrs.  Ela  Curry,  for  16 
years  assistant  to  former  Dean  of  Students  Carrie 
Scandrett  and  in  recent  years  hostess  in  the  Anna  Young 
Alumnae  House,  retired  after  more  than  22  years  of 
efficient  and  gracious  service  to  the  College.  Beloved 
by  all  on  the  campus,  Mrs.  Curry  was  known  to  thousands 
of  visitors  to  the  Alumnae  House  for  her  indefatigable 
energy,  unfailing  courtesy,  and  warm  hospitality.  She 
will  be  missed.

With  the  end  of  this  academic  year,  Mary  Gellerstedt's 
term  as  President  of  the  Alumnae  Association  came  to 
an  end,  and  she  begins  her  term  as  an  alumna  trustee. 
She  has  been  succeeded  by  Celia  "Cissie"  Spiro  Aidinoff 
(Mrs.  M.  Bernard)  '51  of  New  York.  Cissie  Aidinoff,  the 
first  non-Southerner  to  serve  as  President  of  the  national 
Alumnae  Association,  has  been  active  in  alumnae  affairs 
and  in  civic  affairs  in  New  York  City.  I  look  forward 


27 


to  working  with  Cissie  and  her  national  alumnae  officers 
in  the  coming  two  years. 

Again  in  1977-78  alumnae  contributions  to  the  Agnes 
Scott  Fund  were  a  key  factor  in  a  balanced  operating 
budget  for  the  year.  Almost  3, 1 00  alumnae  (about  35 % ) 
contributed  approximately  $378,000  to  the  Agnes  Scott 
Fund,  which  totaled  just  under  $1,100,000.  While  the 
number  of  donors  fell  short  of  last  year's  record  of  over 
3,500,  it  represents  a  net  gain  in  the  past  two  years  of 
almost  400  donors  or  an  increase  from  30%  to  35%  of 
our  approximately  8,900  "active"  alumnae.  (It  should  be 
recalled  that  last  year's  dramatic  jump  in  number  of 
donors  was  largely  attributable  to  our  offering  the  new 
Alumnae  Directory  to  all  givers.)  Again  we  are  deeply 
grateful  not  only  to  our  donors  but  to  the  hundreds 
of  Class  Chairmen  and  Agents  of  the  Fund  whose  efforts 
made  possible  its  success. 

As  in  the  past,  Agnes  Scott  received  this  year  the  financial 
support  of  over  a  thousand  other  friends  —  individuals, 
corporations,  foundations  —  support  which  has  enabled 
us  to  continue  our  strong  programs  and  to  strengthen 
our  facilities  and  resources.  The  acompanying  table 
indicates  the  general  sources  of  these  gifts  and  the  areas 
to  which  they  were  allocated  in  1977-78.  Space  forbids 
the  individual  acknowledgment  here  of  all  our  gifts,  but  it 
is  our  custom  to  acknowledge  each  one  personally,  and 
we  are  deeply  grateful  for  all  such  expressions  of 
confidence  in  Agnes  Scott.  A  number  of  gifts  and 
grants  are  worthy  of  special  mention,  however,  and  I 
am  glad  to  record  them  here.  From  an  anonymous 
foundation  we  received  two  handsome  grants  totaling 
over  $315,000  to  aid  in  the  renovation  of  Buttrick  Hall. 
A  second  anonymous  foundation  contributed  $20,000 
for  scholarships.  During  the  year  we  qualified  for  the 
generous  challenge  grant  of  $75,000  from  the  Kresge 
Foundation  to  be  applied  to  the  Buttrick  Hall  renovation 
project.  Our  annual  share  of  the  contributions  made 
by  Georgia  business  firms  t6  the  Georgia  Foundation 
for  Independent  Colleges  was  $36,498.  The  Charles 
Loridans  Foundation  added  $25,000  to  the  Adeline  Arnold 
Loridans  Chair  of  French.  From  the  Arthur  Vining  Davis 
Foundations  we  received  a  second  $25,000  to  complete 
their  grant  in  support  of  the  McCain  Library  renovation. 
The  International  Business  Machines  Corporation  made 
a  grant  of  $15,000  for  Career  Planning.  From  the  John 
and  Mary  Franklin  Foundation  came  $10,000,  the  first 
third  of  a  grant  for  audiovisual  equipment.  A  new  music 
scholarship  was  established  by  the  Presser  Foundation. 

From  the  estate  of  the  late  Laura  Steele  '37,  long-time 
Registrar  and  Director  of  Admissions  at  Agnes  Scott, 
we  received  a  most  generous  bequest  in  excess  of  $158,000. 
Appropriate  use  of  the  Laura  Steele  Memorial  Endowment 
Fund  is  now  under  consideration  by  the  Board  of  Trustees. 
From  the  estate  of  Helen  B.  Longshore,  aunt  of  Jackie 
Pfarr  Michael  '53,  we  received  $52,000  for  scholarships. 
Gifts  from  Miss  Annie  Tait  Jenkins  '14,  for  the  Jenkins 
Loan  Fund,  totaled  $16,000.  Professor  Emeritus  Ferdinand 
Warren,  former  chairman  of  the  Department  of  Art, 
has  given  34  of  his  fine  paintings  to  the  permanent 
collection  of  the  College. 

Under  Vice  President  Lee  Barclay's  direction, 
improvements  in  our  business  and  personnel  operations 
have  continued,  and  we  have  begun  the  next  major 


project  in  our  program  of  physical  plant  renovation: 
the  modernization  of  faculty  offices  and  classrooms  in 
Buttrick  Hall.  This  project,  a  most  ambitious  one,  involves 
an  overhaul  of  the  heating  and  cooling  systems  as  well 
as  new  lighting,  new  furnishings,  and  facilities  for  new 
audiovisual  equipment.  During  the  past  summer,  it  becam 
apparent  that  the  work  could  not  be  completed  until 
well  into  the  coming  academic  year,  and  other  spaces 
for  classrooms  and  faculty  offices  had  to  be  found.  The 
leadership  of  Dean  Gary  and  the  fine  spirit  displayed 
by  our  administrative  officers  and  maintenance  staff 
throughout  long  hours  of  extra  work  cannot  be  praised 
too  highly.  Substitute  facilities  have  been  arranged, 
including  new  quarters  for  the  bookstore  and  the  post 
office  in  the  former  lower  dining  hall.  Barring  further 
unforeseen  complications,  the  "new"  Buttrick  Hall 
should  be  ready  for  use  before  the  end  of  the  current 
academic  year. 

We  were  sorry  to  lose  our  capable  Director  of  Physical 
Plant,  Mr.  Jack  Hug,  who  left  in  February  to  assume 
a  similar  position  at  California  State  University- 
Northridge.  We  were  most  fortunate  to  secure  as  his 
successor  Mr.  Vaughan  W.  Black,  whose  experience  has 
included  four  years  on  the  staff  of  Lesley  College, 
Cambridge,  Massachusetts,  and  seventeen  years  with 
the  First  Church  of  Christ,  Scientist,  and  the  Christian 
Science  Monitor  Publishing  House  in  Boston.  Mr.  Black's 
training  has  been  wide  and  varied,  including  Armed  Forcf 
schools  and  the  Franklin  Technical  Institute.  The  energy 
and  tact  with  which  he  has  assumed  his  duties  here 
have  already  had  salutary  effects  upon  his  staff. 

This  was  the  fifth  successive  summer  in  which  Agnes 
Scott  was  host  to  a  variety  of  cultural,  educational, 
and  religious  conferences.  It  is  gratifying  to  report  that, 
in  terms  of  income  and  operation,  the  1978  summer  was 
our  best  to  date. 

The  College  suffered  a  grievous  loss  in  the  death  on 
January  30  of  our  senior  trustee.  Miss  Mary  Wallace  Kirk 
'1 1.  For  sixty-one  years.  Miss  Kirk  was  an  active 
member  of  the  Board  of  Trustees,  serving  her  alma 
mater  with  characteristic  energy  and  devotion.  A  woman 
of  great  gifts  —  in  writing,  painting,  and  etching  —  she 
combined  pride  in  the  past  and  its  great  traditions  with  a 
courageous  and  creative  faith  in  the  future.  Her  life 
exemplified  her  ideals  and  her  breadth  of  interests:  she 
read  widely,  but  she  also  wrote;  she  was  a  patron  of 
the  arts  but  she  herself  was  an  accomplished  artist; 
she  traveled  throughout  her  life,  but  she  always  returned 
to  her  beloved  "Locust  Hill,"  her  family's  home  in 
Tuscumbia,  Alabama,  for  over  a  century.  From  her 
graduation  through  her  last  Board  meeting  on  January 
20,  just  ten  days  before  her  death,  she  was  an  active  and 
generous  supporter  of  the  College.  Her  impress  upon 
the  College  during  her  life  was  great,  and  through  her 
intelligent  generosity  it  will  continue  for  many 
years  to  come. 

The  College  lost  another  devoted  supporter  in  the 
death  on  May  23  of  beloved  Trustee-Emeritus  Lawrence 
L.  Gellerstedt,  father  of  present  trustee  Lawrence 
Gellerstedt,  Jr.  A  widely  respected  member  of  the 
Atlanta  business  and  civic  community,  Mr.  Gellerstedt 
was  a  most  active  and  capable  trustee  of  Agnes  Scott 
from  1944-1970.

'■s.  Sue  While,  Secretary,  and  Mr.   Vaughan  Black,  Director 
the  Physical  Plant. 

The  July  issue  of  the  President's  Newsletter  carried 
inouncement  of  the  election  of  five  new  persons  to  the 
oard  of  Trustees  together  with  brief  biographical  sketches 

each.  I  shall  therefore  merely  identify  them  here  and 
elcome  them  to  the  service  of  Agnes  Scott,  to  which 
know  they  bring  fresh  strengths  and  perspectives.  They 
e:  Louise  Isaacson  Bernard  '46  (Mrs.  Maurice  J.), 
tlanta  business  and  civic  leader;  Ann  Avant  Crichton 
1  (Mrs.  G.  Thomas),  Mayor  of  the  City  of  Decatur; 
!ary  Duckworth  Gellerstedt  '46  (Mrs.  Lawrence  L.,  Jr.), 
'Atlanta,  immediate  past  president  of  the  Agnes  Scott 
lumnae  Association;  M.  Lamar  Oglesby,  of  Atlanta, 
ice  President  and  Southeastern  Regional  Manager  of 
idder,  Peabody  and  Company;  and  C.  B.  Rogers,  Jr., 

Atlanta,  Vice  President  of  International  Business 
Machines  Corporation  and  President  of  IBM's  General 
'Stems  Division. 

Our  gratitude  and  good  wishes  go  to  two  valued  trustees 
ho  retired  this  year  and  were  elected  Trustees-Emeriti 

the  May  meeting  of  the  Board:  Ben  S.  Gilmer  of 
tlanta,  a  member  of  the  Board  since  1961;  and  James 
.  Minter,  Jr.,  of  Tyler,  Alabama,  a  trustee  since  1959. 


I  BACKWARD  GLANCE: 
IVE  FULL  YEARS 


For  the  Perrys,  July  1,  1978,  marked  the  completion 
f  five  years  of  service  at  Agnes  Scott.  As  I  noted  at  the 
eginning  of  this  report,  they  have  been  good  years  for  us, 
ad  we  are  grateful  to  the  many  colleagues  and  other 
lends  who  have  made  them  so.  My  legacy  from  Wallace 
Iston  was  a  rich  one  indeed:  an  understanding  and 
jpportive  governing  Board,  a  most  capable  faculty  and 
dministrative  staff,  a  gifted  and  responsive  student  body, 
)yal  and  generous  alumnae,  a  handsome  campus  and 
lant  —  the  whole  soundly  administered  and  financed. 

The  past  five  years  —  1973-78  —  have  hardly  been 
alcyon  times  for  higher  education,  especially  for 


independent  liberal  arts  colleges  like  Agnes  Scott.  Yet 
this  college  has  been  singularly  blessed  in  many  ways; 
and,  thanks  to  the  support  and  service  of  many,  these  have 
been  years  of  lasting  accomplishment  for  Agnes  Scott. 
While  I  take  personal  pride  in  the  overall  record  of  these 
years,  let  me  emphasize  that  our  achievements  are  the 
result  of  the  imagination,  hard  work,  and  good  will 
of  Agnes  Scott  faculty,  students,  administrative  officers, 
trustees,  and  alumnae.  Through  difficult  times  they  have 
displayed  intelligent  loyalty  and  patience,  a  high  sense 
of  collegial  responsibility,  a  constructive  resort  to  unselfish 
compromise  for  the  common  good. 

Through  my  annual  reports,  I  have  sought  to  chronicle 
the  chief  events  of  these  five  years;  and  in  other  college 
publications  and  records  I  hope  we  have  compiled 
a  detailed  history  of  this  period  in  the  life  of  the  College. 
Our  indefatigable  archivist,  Professor  Emeritus  W.  Edward 
McNair,  is  writing  the  history  of  the  College,  a  volume 
which  I  am  sure  will  be  both  readable  and  comprehensive. 
I  have  resisted  the  temptation  to  lengthy  reminiscence 
in  this  fifth  annual  report,  but  I  do  wish  to  mention  briefly 
what  appear  to  me,  without  the  benefit  yet  of  much 
perspective,  to  be  significant  developments  of  these 
five  years. 

The  past  five  years  have  seen  no  change  in  the  essential 
purpose  and  mission  of  the  College.  Agnes  Scott  remains 
firm  in  its  commitment  to  the  maintenance  of  a  teaching 
and  learning  community  of  high  academic  and  moral 
quality  dedicated  to  Christian  values  and  the  disciplined 
development  of  the  whole  person.  Set  forth  briefly  in  the 
"Articles  of  Incorporation"  of  the  College,  our  institutional 
purpose  is  published  in  more  specific  form  in  the 
College  catalogue. 

The  administrative  organization  of  the  College  has 
been  altered  to  reduce  the  number  of  officers  reporting 
directly  to  the  President.  Today  five  top  administrative 
officers  —  the  Dean  of  the  Faculty,  the  Dean  of  Students, 
the  Vice  President  for  Development,  the  Vice  President 
for  Business  Affairs,  and  the  Director  of  Admissions  — 
report  directly  to  the  President,  with  all  other  officers 
reporting  through  one  of  the  five  chief  administrators. 
The  Director  of  Alumnae  Affairs,  as  the  official 
representative  of  9,000  alumnae,  has  a  weekly 
conference  with  the  President.  With  respect  to  faculty 
authority,  the  former  Academic  Council  consisting 
of  the  President,  the  Deans,  the  Registrar,  and  the 
chairmen  of  academic  departments,  has  been  abolished 
and  replaced  by  a  system  of  faculty  committees 
responsible  to  the  faculty  as  a  whole  and  operating 
under  faculty  bylaws.  The  faculty  thus  enjoys 
considerably  more  authority  in  the  planning  and 
administration  of  the  academic  program;  and  all 
faculty  members,  with  the  exception  of  instructors 
in  their  first  year,  now  have  a  voting  voice  in  determining 
academic  policies  and  procedures.  Operating  through 
its  various  committees,  the  faculty  has  formulated  policies 
and  procedures  for  such  faculty  concerns  as  appointment, 
promotion,  tenure,  sabbaticals,  and  grievances. 

The  past  five  years  have  seen  numerous  changes  in 
the  educational  program,  chiefly  in  the  direction  of  greater 
flexibility  and  increased  opportunities  for  students 
interested  in  business  and  professional  careers.  Innovations, 


29 


including  programs  and  courses  both  on  and  off  campus, 
have  been  supplements  to,  rather  than  substitutes  for, 
our  time-tested  liberal  arts  curriculum.  For  example,  our 
summer  programs  abroad,  conducted  for  credit  by 
our  own  faculty  members,  have  been  increased;  summer 
programs  in  this  country  now  include  a  desert  biology 
seminar  and  a  marine  biology  seminar.  Cooperative 
programs  with  the  American  University  in  Washington 
and  the  Georgia  Institute  of  Technology  in  Atlanta 
are  now  available,  the  latter  including  five-year  dual 
degree  programs  in  engineering,  computer  science,  and 
management,  and  four-year  Air  Force  and  Navy  R.O.T.C. 
programs  leading  to  a  commission  in  these  services. 
Opportunities  for  internships,  for  independent  study,  and 
for  double  majors  have  been  improved  and  expanded. 
The  Departments  of  Art  and  Music  furnish  good  examples 
of  these  changes;  for  example,  musical  instruction  is 
now  available  in  a  large  number  of  instruments  as  well 
as  in  voice,  and  the  Department  of  Art  has  recently 
installed  one  of  the  most  advanced  print-making  facilities 
in  the  Southeast.  In  another  area,  course  work  in 
economics  and  mathematics  has  been  expanded  to  include 
accounting,  computer  science,  marketing,  and  the  new 
"Preparatory  Program  for  Business." 

A  "Return  to  College  Program"  now  provides  the 
opportunity  for  qualified  women  of  all  ages  to  take 
college  courses  and  to  work  toward  an  Agnes  Scott  degree. 
All  "Return  to  College"  students  are  enrolled  in  regular 
college  courses  and  meet  the  same  requirement  for  the 
degree  as  other  undergraduates.  Students  in  the  program 
are  not  subject  to  the  same  minimum  course  loads  nor  are 
they  expected  to  complete  the  degree  in  the  usual  four 
years.  Academic  and  personal  counseling  is  highly 
individualized  while  application  procedures  for  admission 
and  financial  aid  have  been  streamlined.  The  program 
has  been  well-received  by  faculty  and  regular  students  and 
attracts  a  significant  number  of  applicants  throughout 
each  school  year. 

The  number  of  full-time  faculty  members  has  decreased 
slightly  since  1973,  but  visiting  and  part-time  personnel 
have  kept  the  full-time  equivalent  strength  of  the  faculty 
at  approximately  75.  Over  four-fifths  of  the  faculty 
now  hold  the  highest  earned  degree;  and  the  ratio  of 
students  to  faculty  stands  today  at  some  7.5  to  1,  perhaps 
the  most  favorable  of  that  of  any  liberal  arts  college 
in  the  country.  Faculty  turnover  is  low,  but  a  number  of 
visiting  teachers  and  scholars  bring  fresh  ideas  and 
stimulation  each  year.  For  example,  the  Wallace 
McPherson  Alston  Visiting  Professorship  in  Bible  and 
Religion  makes  possible  one  or  more  teaching  visitors  in 
that  department  annually. 

Faculty  and  staff  salaries  have  been  increased  each 
year.  Fringe  benefits  have  been  extended  to  all  employees 
and  expanded  to  include  increased  retirement  income, 
total  disability  benefits,  group  life  insurance,  and  better 
health  coverage.  Our  levels  of  faculty  compensation,  in 
relation  to  those  of  comparable  colleges,  have  accordingly 
improved. 

During  the  past  five  years  an  extensive  planned  program 
of  campus  renovation  has  been  under  way.  New  wiring 
and  new  outdoor  lighting  have  been  installed  throughout 
the  campus,  and  identifying  and  directional  signs  have 
been  erected.  Winship  Dormitory  and  the  auditoriums  in 


President  Perry  and  Student  Government  President,  Tish  Di 
Pont,  confer. 

Presser  Hall  have  been  air-conditioned.  McCain  Library 
has  been  completely  renovated.  Buttrick  Hall  is  now  in 
process  of  an  extensive  renovation.  Dana  Fine  Arts 
Building  has  been  renovated,  and  a  new  print-making 
facility  has  been  installed.  Repairs  to  the  roofs  of  most 
buildings  have  been  undertaken  although  much  work  still 
remains  to  be  done  in  this  area.  The  overall  plan  calls  for 
the  systematic  renovation  of  all  major  College  buildings 
and  a  general  refurbishing  of  campus  grounds,  including 
roads  and  walkways  as  well  as  trees  and  other  outdoor 
planting. 

In  the  spring  and  summer  of  1976  a  professional 
planning  study  of  the  campus  and  the  surrounding 
neighborhood  was  conducted  for  the  College.  Results  of 
this  study  were  most  encouraging  for  present  and  future 
planning,  and  some  of  the  suggestions  made  have  already 
been  implemented.  For  example,  we  have  begun  to  sell 
off  gradually  some  of  the  residential  properties  owned  by 
the  College  in  the  area  immediately  surrounding  the 
campus.  Priority  in  such  sales  is  given  first  to  the  present 
occupants  and  then  to  Agnes  Scott  employees.  Thus  the 
College  has  been  able  to  maintain  the  stability  and 
academic  tone  of  its  immediate  neighborhood  while 
restoring  to  the  Decatur  tax  rolls  a  number  of  residential 
properties.  With  fewer  houses  to  maintain,  the  College 
is  now  in  the  position  to  take  better  care  of  the  houses 
remaining  under  its  ownership. 

Since  the  appointment  of  a  new  Dean  of  Students  in 
1974,  there  have  been  a  number  of  organizational  and 
procedural  changes  made  in  the  offices  reporting  to 
her  (Career  Planning,  Financial  Aid,  Health  Services), 
and  the  relations  of  her  Office  with  student  government 
organizations  have  undergone  marked  improvement.  The 
Office  of  Career  Planning  has  been  expanded  in  terms 
both  of  personnel  and  budget,  and  it  is  now  in  a  position 
to  respond  even  more  effectively  to  the  growing  interest 
of  college  women  in  preparation  for  careers.  Our  financial 
aid  programs  have  been  expanded  in  all  areas:  grants, 
loans,  and  campus  jobs;  and  administrative  improvements 
have  been  effected  under  a  new  Director  of  Financial  Aid. 
Since  1973-74,  our  financial  aid  budget  has  doubled;  today 
over  70%  of  our  students  receive  some  type  of  assistance, 
and  the  annual  budget  is  in  excess  of  half  a  million  dollars.

s  sum  does  not  include  monies  received  from  federal, 
e,  and  private  sources. 

tudent  government  remains  a  strong  and  responsible 
;  of  College  life,  and  there  is  a  high  degree  of 
peration  between  College  administrative  officials  and 
officers  and  agencies  of  student  government.  The 
or  System  continues  to  receive  widespread  approval 
support.  Customs  and  regulations  governing  campus 
ial  life  at  Agnes  Scott  have  traditionally  been 
servative,  but  a  number  of  changes  have  occurred 
he  past  five  years  which  have  recognized  students' 
diness  and  ability  to  govern  themselves  in  all  areas  of 
ipus  life.  The  student  body  has  been  most  responsive 
responsible  in  handling  these  new  freedoms.  At  the 
le  time,  security  systems  throughout  the  dormitories 
e  been  improved  without  infringing  on  students' 
:dom  of  movement. 

tudent  recruiting  and  reteniton  continue  to  be  our 
jor  challenge.  Despite  energetic  and  imaginative  efforts 
our  admissions  staff,  we  have  not  yet  been  able  to 
uild  enrollment  to  the  levels  of  some  ten  years  ago. 

immediate  aim  continues  to  be  a  student  body  of  some 
).  Student  retention  has  remained  stable,  with  an 
rease  in  this  past  year,  and  the  Return  to  College 
gram  has  grown  each  year.  On  the  national  scene,  the 
mlarity  of  coeducation  and  the  current  concern  with 
ational  studies  as  opposed  to  liberal  arts  programs 
tear  to  be  our  chief  obstacles  in  recruiting  new  students, 
eeking  to  raise  enrollment  figures,  however,  we  have 
intained  admissions  standards  as  well  as  the  integrity 
1  quality  of  our  overall  academic  program.  Recent 
dies  indicate  that  our  strong  academic  reputation  and 

unusually  favorable  faculty-student  ratio  are  the  chief 
tors  in  attracting  new  students  to  Agnes  Scott.  Under 
leadership  of  the  Office  of  Admissions,  we  are 
ibling  our  efforts  to  attract  more  students  to  Agnes 
)tt  not  only  through  improved  recruiting  procedures  but 
ough  enriched  academic  programs  and  the  greater 
olvement  of  students,  faculty,  and  alumnae  in  our 
ruiting  and  retention  efforts. 

n  a  period  of  continuing  inflation  and  economic 
certainty,  it  is  good  to  be  able  to  report  that  Agnes  Scott 

continued  its  tradition  of  sound  financial  operation 
i  balanced  budgets.  Since  1972-73  we  have  made 
nparatively  modest  annual  additions  to  our  endowment, 

income  from  endowment  has  doubled.  Annual 
erating  expenses  have  increased  from  approximately 

120,000  in  1973-74  to  almost  $5,100,000  in  1977-78 
ss  than  24%  ).  In  the  same  period  student  tuition  and 
;s  have  increased  by  $1,000,  to  $4,450  in  1977-78,  a 
ure  which  continues  to  be  the  lowest  among  some 

nty  leading  American  women's  colleges.  As  the  cost 
quality  college  education  has  escalated,  we  have  taken 
ps  to  see  that  our  necessary  charges  do  not  put  an 
nes  Scott  education  beyond  the  reach  of  students  of 
)dest  means.  For  example,  while  our  charges  have  in- 
ased  some  28%  in  the  last  five  years,  our  financial  aid 
dget  has  almost  doubled.  We  are  still  able  to  meet 
0%  of  the  officially  indicated  need  of  every  student 
ered  admission. 

As  indicated  elsewhere,  faculty  and  staff  salaries  have 
in  increased  annually,  and  our  fringe  benefit  package 


for  all  employees  is  now  a  most  creditable  and  competitive 
one. 

Without  the  organization  and  intensified  efforts  of  a 
formal  fund  raising  campaign,  the  Agnes  Scott  Fund,  i.e. 
the  annual  total  of  gifts  and  bequests  from  all  sources, 
has  averaged  over  a  million  dollars  a  year  since  1973-74. 
In  this  same  period  there  have  been  gratifying 
improvements  in  alumnae  giving,  both  in  dollars  and  in 
percentage  of  alumnae  contributors;  and  foundations, 
corporations,  and  other  friends  —  locally  and  nationally  — 
have  continued  generous  in  their  annual  support.  Great 
credit  must  go  to  Dr.  Paul  McCain,  Vice  President  for 
Development,  to  his  hard  working  staff,  and  to  the 
director  and  officers  of  the  Alumnae  Association  and  the 
hundreds  of  Class  Agents  who  make  possible  each  year 
the  success  of  the  Agnes  Scott  Fund. 

The  foregoing  brief  summary  will  serve,  I  hope,  as 
reminder  that  the  past  five  years  have  seen  a  number  of 
significant  developments  but  that  much  remains  to  be 
done.  To  literally  thousands  of  men  and  women  of  the 
Agnes  Scott  family  —  faculty  and  students,  administrative 
officers  and  staff,  trustees  and  alumnae  —  I  am  indebted 
for  the  support  and  dedication,  the  imagination  and 
planning,  and  the  hard  work  which  have  brought  about 
the  achievements  of  these  five  years.  I  am  glad  to  record 
here  my  admiration  for  these  fellow  workers  and  my 
gratitude  for  their  loyal  labors. 


LOOKING  AHEAD:  THE  1980's 


The  private  residential  liberal  arts  college  in  America 
may  well  be  facing  in  the  1980's  the  most  difficult  decade 
in  its  300-year  history.  Current  educational,  economic, 
and  demographic  forces  are  working  against  it  today,  and 
projections  and  prospects  for  the  future  are  even  less 
favorable.  For  example,  three-quarters  of  today's  college 
students  are  in  public,  i.e.  tax-supported,  institutions, 
where  fees  are  much  less  for  the  student  if  not  for  the 
tax-payer.  Inflation  and  the  scarcity  of  jobs  have 
intensified  the  continuing  concern  of  students  —  and 
their  parents  —  for  vocational  training  and  the  acquisition 
of  marketable  skills.  Population  projections  indicate  a 
significant  drop  nationally  in  the  number  of  18-year  olds, 
beginning  in  the  early  1980's.  Not  a  rosy  overall  picture 
for  private  liberal  arts  colleges  like  Agnes  Scott! 

For  more  than  two  centuries,  however,  the  American 
liberal  arts  college  has  shown  itself  to  be  a  tough  and 
hardy  breed.  From  its  earliest  years  forecasts  of  its 
imminent  demise  have  been  issued  periodically;  but  it  has 
managed  to  survive  and,  in  many  cases,  to  flourish.  A 
recent  and  authoritative  statistical  study*  of  the  educational 
and  financial  condition  of  private  higher  education  in  the 
United  States  concludes  that,  although  most  presidents 
of  private  colleges  and  universities  are  optimistic  about 


*Private  Higher  Education:  Fourth  Annual  Report  on  Financial 
and  Educational  Trends  in  the  Independent  Sector  of  American 
Higher  Education,  by  W.  John  Minter  and  Howard  R.  Bowen 
(Washington:  Association  of  American  Colleges,  1978)

the  future,  "the  proportion  of  institutions  in  a  precarious 
position"  continues  to  increase.  The  more  selective  liberal 
arts  colleges  appear  to  be  in  a  stronger  position,  in  terms 
of  "holding  steady"  or  even  "gaining  ground,"  than  their 
less  selective  counterparts.  But  all  too  often  the  private 
institutions  are  managing  to  hold  their  own  and  maintain 
their  quality  at  the  cost  "of  a  slow  and  seemingly 
inexorable  using  up  of  capital ...  in  the  form  of  drawing 
down  reserves  or  of  using  for  current  operations  gifts 
which  should  have  gone  for  endowments." 

While  this  precarious  situation  is  not  yet  true  of  Agnes 
Scott,  we  are  well  aware  of  possible  problems  ahead;  and 
our  planning  must  heed  these  signs  of  impending  troubles 
and  include  strong  and  positive  actions  to  avoid  them. 
In  this  connection  let  me  say  that  the  report  of  the  Long 
Range  Planning  Committee  submitted  to  the  Board  this 
fall  contains  specific  proposals  for  securing  the  resources 
Agnes  Scott  will  need  to  meet  successfully  the  demands 
of  the  next  quarter-century. 

This  period  of  crisis  for  American  higher  education  has 
seen,  understandably,  a  proliferation  of  research  studies 
as  to  its  nature  and  effects.  The  chief  conclusions  reached 
by  most  of  these  studies  appear  to  be:  (1 )  that  our 
smaller,  private,  liberal  arts  colleges  are  facing  increasing 
competition  from  large,  tax-supported,  professionally  and 
vocationally  oriented  institutions;  and  yet  (2)  that  these 
same  small  liberal  arts  colleges  are  offering  today,  in  terms 
of  personal  satisfaction  and  achievement,  the  most  effective 
college  experience  to  be  found  in  all  of  American 
higher  education. 

The  research  conducted  over  the  past  ten  years  by 
Alexander  Astin*,  of  the  University  of  California  at  Los 
Angeles,  embodies  perhaps  the  most  exhaustive  and 
striking  reinforcement  of  these  conclusions.  The  product  of 
a  longitudinal  study  called  the  Cooperative  Institutional 
Research  Program  (CIRP),  Dr.  Astin's  study  was  the 
joint  project  of  the  American  Council  on  Education  and 
the  University  of  California  at  Los  Angeles.  Its 
conclusions  are  drawn  from  data  gathered  from  over 
200,000  students  in  more  than  300  institutions,  including 
follow-up  surveys  ranging  from  one  to  ten  years  after 
college  entry.  The  intent  of  this  long-term  research,  the 
largest  of  its  kind  ever  conducted,  was  to  evaluate  the 
effect  of  varying  college  experiences. 

The  findings  of  Astin's  study  which  are  of  chief  concern 
to  colleges  like  Agnes  Scott  may  be  summarized  as 
follows:  the  most  effective  undergraduate  experience,  in 
terms  of  personal  satisfaction  and  development  and  of 
career  implementation,  is  that  offered  today  by  small, 
private,  single-sex  liberal  arts  colleges  with  high  standards 
and  a  religious  heritage.  Certainly  these  are  findings  from 
which  Agnes  Scott  and  similar  colleges  can  take 
satisfaction  and  fresh  courage  in  seeking  to  evaluate  our 
proper  programs  and  purpose  in  these  difficult  times. 

Yet,  on  reflection,  there  is  a  profound  and  disturbing 
irony,  a  wry  paradox,  in  the  conclusions  reached  today  in 
the  studies  of  such  educational  researchers  and  analysts 


as  Minter  and  Bowen,  and  Alexander  Astin.  At  the  very 
time  when  we  are  informed  of  the  continuing  decline  in 
popularity  —  among  prospective  students  and  their 
parents  —  of  the  small,  independent,  liberal  arts  college, 
and  warned  of  its  possible  early  demise,  current  studies 
indicate  with  increasing  evidence  that  this  same  small, 
independent  liberal  arts  college  offers  the  most  effective 
and  satisfying  educational  experience  yet  devised  in  the 
United  States. 

In  the  light  of  this  paradoxical  situation,  all  of  us  who 
believe  in  Agnes  Scott  (and  colleges  like  it),  all  of  us  who 
have  reason  to  be  grateful  for  its  benefits  and  its  influenc( 
have  a  clear  and  urgent  duty:  to  spread  the  word  of  what 
Agnes  Scott  has  to  offer  young  women  of  ability  and 
character  and  to  convince  more  of  these  young  women 
of  the  satisfactions  and  values  —  tangible  and  intangible, 
immediate  and  long-term  —  of  an  Agnes  Scott  education 

Four  years  ago,  in  reporting  to  the  Board  of  Trustees 
after  my  first  year  at  Agnes  Scott,  I  listed  five  key  areas 
of  priority  concern  in  my  hopes  and  plans  for  the 
College.  They  were  ( 1 )  an  educational  program,  in 
keeping  with  our  Christian  heritage,  which  combines 
traditional  liberal  arts  strengths  and  disciplines  with 
flexible  and  imaginative  opportunities  for  young  women 
interested  in  further  training  and  in  careers;  (2)  an 
enlarged  student  body  of  650-700  undergraduates  with 
no  sacrifice  of  academic  quality;  (3)  faculty  and  staff 
salaries  and  benefits  commensurate  with  Agnes  Scott's 
stature  and  resources;  (4)  a  student  financial  aid  progran 
sufficient  to  maintain  a  student  body  of  character  and 
ability  regardless  of  means;  (5)  equipment,  physical 
plant,  and  grounds  adequate  for  a  superior  educational 
program  and  for  efficiency,  comfort,  and  beauty.

t  is  fair  to  say,  I  believe,  that  the  past  five  years  have 
1  reasonable  overall  achievement  in  this  five-fold 
gram.  In  some  areas,  progress  has  been  difficult  and 
v;  in  others  it  has  been  steady  and  most  heartening, 
in  all  cases  it  has  been  the  result  of  the  thoughtful 
ining  and  cooperative  effort  of  all  elements  of  the 
les  Scott  family.  To  a  remarkable  degree,  they 
ibine  loving  admiration  for  what  this  College  has  been, 
is,  with  a  strong  and  lively  faith  in  what  it  still  can  be. 
1  proud  and  grateful  to  have  been  associated  with 
les  Scott  for  these  five  years.  They  have  not  been  easy 
rs  for  higher  education  anywhere.  But  I  count  myself

^tracing  Footsteps  at  Agnes  Scott 


s,  mortar,  well-trimmed  walks,  and  modern  fa- 
s  draw  new  students  to  a  college;  but  once  they've 
litted  themselves  to  four  years,  are  graduated, 
eave  the  campus,  their  memories  are  not  of  build- 
but  of  people  —  their  peers  and  professors  and 
a  kind  administrator  —  and  ideas  —  concepts 
t  or  practiced  by  those  people.  And  so  it  is,  when 
lae  come  back  to  a  college,  they  search  out  those 
ssors  and  administrators  whose  thinking  and  car- 
lade  impresses  on  their  lives, 
e  Alumnae  Association  has  just  sponsored  the 
th  annual  Alumnae  Council  at  the  College.  Insti- 
ls of  higher  education  all  over  the  country  are 
ng  their  alumnae  volunteers  back  to  campuses  to 
ne  reacquainted.  Our  belief  is  that  these  coun- 
s  will  return  to  their  communities  with  renewed 
r  to  extol  the  value  of  a  liberal  arts  education  at 
all  independent  women's  college,  named  Agnes 
.  There  were  workshops,  speeches,  tours  of  the 
us,  and  lunch  in  Winship  and  on  the  terrace; 
lone  of  these  were  as  significant  to  the  alumnae 
:re  their  contacts  with  students,  faculty,  and  ad- 
trators  —  the   people   of   the   College.    Attending 


classes  with  today's  students  and  visiting  with  mem- 
bers of  the  faculty  were  the  highlights  of  the  day. 

Recapturing  for  a  few  moments  those  precious  days 
when  learning  and  thinking  were  our  chief  occupations, 
and  wishing  we  had  then  known  what  we  now  know 
about  life  so  that  we  would  have  availed  ourselves  to 
a  fuller  extent  of  the  opportunity  to  develop  our  minds, 
we  went  back  to  college  and  sat  with  the  students 
and  listened  to  the  wise  ones  who  have  spent  a  life- 
time gathering  knowledge.  (It  mattered  not  that  they 
were  in  makeshift  quarters.  Buttrick  is  being  renovated. 
As  a  temporary  expedient,  classrooms  and  faculty  of- 
fices are  now  located  in  parlors,  study  rooms,  the 
health  center  —  wherever  a  few  students  and  scholars 
can  gather. )  Yes,  we're  glad  to  see  that  the  Board  of 
Trustees  is  restoring,  preserving,  and  refurbishing  the 
buildings  on  campus  and  that  they  are  envisioning  new 
facilities  that  will  attract  new  students  (for  without 
students  the  College  would  no  longer  exist),  but  the 
best  part  of  college,  to  an  alumna,  is  that  it  is  the 
place  for  learning  and  thinking  and  sharing  ideas.  The 
development  of  the  mind  is  still  the  main  business  at 
Agnes  Scott  College. 


The  college  community  is 
saddened  by  the  recent  deaths 
of  two  professors.  Dr.  Marion 
Thomas  Clark,  Kenan  Profes- 
sor of  Chemistry  and  chairman 
of  the  Department  of  Chemis- 
try,   died    September    9,    1978. 


Associate  Professor  of  English, 
Emerita,  Annie  May  Christie 
died  September  7.  1978.  Tri- 
butes will  be  published  in  the 
winter  issue  of  the  Alumnae 
Quarterly.

Spiro  Aidinoff  '51  came  into 
she  urged  Agnes  Scott  alumnae. 

nking  women,  to  express  opinions 

rt  an  Alumnae  Dialogue, 
has  received  many  letters  with 

stions  which  she  has  passed  along 
proper  persons.  However,  we  are 
hing  an  excerpt  of  one  letter  to  her 

he  hope  that  it  will  stimulate 

lents  from  other  alumnae.  (Ed. ) 

ild  like  to  know  what  our 
iation  is  doing  in  regards  to  the 
I  Rights  Amendment.  What  are  we 

to  enable  more  fruitful 
deration  in  those  several  southern 

which  have  not  passed  this 
idment?  Another  topic  which  I 

find  interesting  to  discuss  is  our 

of  addressing  each  other  in  terms 

husbands"  names.  For  instance, 
should  I  be  Mrs.  Robert  E.  Roemer 

mailing  list?  1  am  Eleanor 
ler.  I  wonder  why  in  these  days 

we  are  struggling  for  equal  rights, 
sist  on  giving  ourselves  status  (even 

)  only  through  men.  Husbands 

not  be  the  primary  name 
ator,  especially  for  Agnes  Scott 
nae.

are  those  among  us  who,  for  one 
>n  or  another,  do  not  favor  the 
ndment.  and  I  am  hoping  to  hear 
some  of  them  in  writing  so  we  can 
it  out. 
should  be  getting  your  mail,  and 
from  now  on,  as  Dr.  Eleanor  K.

ever  name  and/or  title  that  you  send

Recognizing  that  participation  in 
drama  is  an  excellent  way  in  which  to 
improve  pronunciation  and  conversation 
as  well  as  to  create  an  "esprit  de  corps," 
we  encourage  students  to  act  in  scenes 
from  the  plays  of  Moliere,  Anouilh, 
Giraudoux,  etc.,  sometimes  for  the 
French  Club  at  Agnes  Scott,  sometimes 
in  the  language  contests  at  Clemson 
University,  where  our  students  have 
twice  won  first  place.  In  cooperation 
with  the  Alliance  Franc aise  d' Atlanta, 
Agnes  Scott  sponsors  the  annual  visit  of 
"Le  Treteau  de  Paris,"  a  theatrical 
company  sent  from  France  to  tour 
American  college  campuses,  presenting 
classical  or  modern  plays.  These 
performances  are  a  boon  to  the  students 
who  study  the  plays  in  class  and  can, 
therefore,  laugh  in  the  right  places! 

We  bring  to  the  campus  each  year  one 
or  two  French  films  based  on  literary 
works  studied  in  class,  such  as  Ph&dre,  le 
Rouge  et  le  noir,  les  Mains  sales, 
VEtranger.  From  the  "Services 
Culturels"  in  New  Orleans  we  may 
borrow  exhibits  of  photographs.  "La 
Comedie  Fran^aise"  and  "Moliere" 
were  two  fine  exhibits  shown  in 
connection  with  Blackfriars'  production 
of  the  Moliere  play,  Tartuffe.  From  time 
to  time  we  bring  outstanding  lecturers  to 


Claire  Hubert 


class;  Germaine  Bree  on  Camus, 
Raphael  Molho  on  Proust,  G.  Mallary 
Masters  on  Rabelais,  and  Paul  Verniere 
on  the  eighteenth  century. 

The  three  modern  language 
departments  at  Agnes  Scott  sponsor 
annually  a  drama  contest  for  high  school 
students  in  Georgia.  Last  spring  there 
were  students  from  14  schools 
participating  in  the  French  contest  alone. 
Several  of  these  young  Sarah  Bernhardts 
have,  after  high  school  graduation, 
enrolled  at  Agnes  Scott.  In  fact,  it  has 
been  our  hope  that  these  contests  would 
attract  as  future  students  here  the 
"creme  de  la  creme"  of  Georgia 
language  talent.  It  is  frustrating  to 
realize,  however,  that  some  of  the 
richest  high  school  French  cream  is 
masculine! 

As  you  know,  for  many  years  our 
students  have  been  encouraged  to  study 
in  the  summer  or  during  their  junior  year 
either  in  France  or  Canada.  There  are 
two  scholarships  available  for  foreign 
study:  one  is  the  Margaret  T.  Phythian 
Scholarship,  established  in  1965  in  honor 
of  Dr.  Phythian,  former  chairman  of  the 
French  department;  the  other  is  a 
scholarship  given  through  the  Cultural 
Attache  in  New  Orleans  to  encourage 
the  study  of  French.  Bryn  Mawr  in 


Avignon,  Emory  in  Paris,  and  L 
Quebec  have  been  the  most  pop 
summer  programs.  During  the  n 
academic  session  Sweet  Briar  C 
has  enrolled  some  25  of  our  stud 
over  the  years  in  their  Junior  Ye 
France  program.  The  preliminar 
courses  in  Tours,  as  well  as  thos- 
Paris,  are  taught  by  French  univ 
professors.  The  students  are  abl 
choose  courses  at  Science  Po,  tl 
Beaux-Arts,  the  Louvre,  and  tht 
Sorbonne,  as  well  as  those  orgai 
Sweet  Briar.  Such  a  year  of  stuc 
Paris,  together  with  travel  in  the 
provinces  and  in  other  Europear 
countries,  can  bring  an  understa 
and  enjoyment  of  other  cultures 
can  never  be  gotten  from  textbo 
alone. 

Twice  we  have  brought  a  prof 
from  a  French  University  to  teac

to  have  a  taste  of  the  French  edi

experiences  which  changed  me.  I 
discovered  that  there  are  universal 
concerns,  joys,  and  sorrows  which  are 
found  everywhere.  The  French  are  a 
very  proud  people,  often  too  proud,  but 
they  have  reason  to  be,  for  their 
language  and  their  culture  to  me  are  the 
most  beautiful  in  the  world. 

Through  travel  I  had  the  good  fortune 
to  be  able  to  compare  France  with  other 
European  countries.  One  of  the  beauties 
of  the  French  educational  system  is  the 
extensive  periodic  holidays,  very 
conducive  to  travel .  I  was  able  to  go  to 
England,  Spain,  the  south  of  France, 
Greece,  and  Yugoslavia,  and  I  marveled 
at  each  experience.  To  be  able  to  sit 
down  with  some  friends  and  map  out. 
budget,  and  then  finally  realize  such 
trips  gave  me  a  great  sense  of  maturity 
and  self-satisfaction.  Of  course,  it  is 


easy  to  travel  in  Europe,  for  the  railroad 
system  is  excellent  (and  European  trains 
are  just  like  they  are  in  movies!)  and  is 
one  of  the  student"s  best  friends. 

Each  time  I  would  return  to  Paris  from 
one  of  these  "lands  unknown,""  I  would 
feel  a  deep  sense  of  coming  home.  To 
me,  that  feeling  of  belonging  in  Paris  was 
one  that,  at  first,  1  was  not  sure  I  would 
acquire  and  is  the  most  precious  memory 
I  have.  While  backpacking  through 
Europe  I  made  the  acquaintance  of  many 
a  friendly  face  and  many  a  beautiful  site, 
but  Paris  was.  and  still  is.  mine.  It  was 
like  being  "over  the  rainbow,""  where  all 
is  magical  and  beautiful  and  where  time 
stands  still.  In  fact,  one  of  the  students 
wrote  a  quote  on  the  bulletin  board  in  the 
Sweet  Briar  office  in  Paris,  which  sums 
up  the  year  perfectly;  "Toto,  I  have  a 
feeling  this  isn"t  Kansas  anymore."' 


A  Tribute  to  Marion  Thomas  Clark 

By  Alice  J.  Cunningham, 
Mary  W.  Fox,  Julia  T.  Gary 

The  following  is  an  excerpt  from  the  tribute  read  and  adopted  at  the 
October  6  Agnes  Scott  Faculty  Meeting. 


Marion  T.  Clark  would  have  been  the 
last  member  of  this  faculty  to  have 
wanted  his  virtues  extolled  in  public,  for 
he  was  a  modest  and  humble  man.  He 
would  have  much  preferred  that  we  be 
about  our  business  of  instilling  in 
students,  as  well  as  in  faculty,  a  devotion 
to  the  purposes  of  Agnes  Scott  College 
and  a  genuine  love  of  learning,  which 
characterized  his  life.  These  missions 
were  primary  in  his  professional  life  as  a 
chemist  and  an  educator.  In  some  way. 
however,  it  gives  us  comfort  and  new 
direction  to  remind  ourselves  of  the 
many  fine  qualities  which  made  this  man 
a  very  special  person  to  all  who  knew 
him. 

Having  received  degrees  from  Emory 
University  and  the  University  of 
Virginia,  Dr.  Clark  first  was  a  member  of 
the  faculties  of  Oxford  College  of  Emory 


University,  Birmingham  Southern 
College,  and  Emory  University.  In  1960 
he  became  a  member  of  the  Agnes  Scott 
community  as  Professor  of  Chemistry. 
He  was  appointed  chairman  of  the 
department  in  1973  and  was  named 
William  Rand  Kenan,  Jr.,  Professor  of 
Chemistry  in  1975. 

Dr.  Clark's  honors  included 
membership  in  Phi  Beta  Kappa, 
Omicron  Delta  Kappa,  and  Sigma  Xi.  He 
had  served  in  various  offices  of  his 
professional  societies ,  including  terms  as 
President  of  the  Georgia  Academy  of 
Science  and  Chairman  of  the  Georgia 
Section  of  the  American  Chemical 
Society.  In  addition  to  his  professional 
affiliations,  he  was  an  active  member  of 
the  Glenn  Memorial  United  Methodist 
Church  and  its  governing  body.  He  was  a 
member  of  the  Board  of  Directors  of  the 


Decatur-DeKalb  Civic  Ballet,  whicl 
also  served  as  a  "semi-professional 
stage  hand." 

It  would  be  an  inappropriate  and 
insensitive  gesture  to  the  memory  o 
man  if  we  described  him  only  in  thes 
impersonal  terms.  We  have  known  t 
good  and  gentle  man  as  a  warm  hum;

A  Tribute  to  Annie  May  Christie 


By  Judy  Promnitz  Marine  '54 


Renewal  depends  in  some  measure  on 
motivation,  commitment,  conviction, 
the  values  (persons)  live  by,  the  things 
that  give  meaning  to  their  lives  .   .   .  The 
renewal  of  societies  and  organizations 
can  go  forward  only  if  someone  cares. 

John  W.  Gardner 

Self-Renewal — The  Individual  and 

the  Innnovatire  Society 

Annie  May  Christie  in  her  life 
embodied  the  renewal  of  which  John 
Gardner  speaks. 

She  sparked  in  students  the  desire  to 
learn  and  the  ability  to  appreciate  good 
literature  because  her  students  respected 
and  valued  her  expertise  in  her  field, 
American  literature,  and  because  they 
knew  that  she  cared  about  them,  not  just 
as  students  but  as  human  beings  in  all 
dimensions  of  existence. 

Personally  I  was  motivated  to  probe 
deeply  through  independent  study 
supervised  by  Miss  Christie  into  the 
poetry  of  Edwin  Arlington  Robinson.  I 


always  looked  forward  to  our  weekly 
conferences  because  Miss  Christie 
provided  me  with  valuable  insights 
through  constructive  criticism.  At  the 
same  time  she  was  genuinely  concerned 
with  me  as  a  person  in  other  aspects  of 
my  life  and  my  family's  life,  just  as  she 
was  interested  in  all  her  students. 

I  remember  also  the  many  happy 
occasions  through  the  years  after 
graduation  when  we  would  gather  at  my 
parents'  home  for  dinner  along  with 
other  of  Miss  Christie's  colleagues  who 
also  became  lifelong  friends  of  my 
family — Margaret  Phythian,  Leslie 
Gaylord,  Llewellyn  Wilburn.  and 
Margret  Trotter.  Hence  Miss  Christie 
was  an  enjoyable  person  to  be  around 
not  just  in  academic  settings  but  in  social 
settings  as  well. 

In  addition  to  helping  her  students  find 
renewal,  motivation,  and  commitment. 
Miss  Christie  also  was  continuously 
searching  for  renewal  within  herself 
through  pursuit  of  a  variety  of  interests 


and  activities.  She  enjoyed  hiking  in 
mountains,  particularly  in  Highland; 
North  Carolina.  She  attended  plays  i 
New  York  on  a  number  of  occasions 
She  shared  her  mother's  love  of  flov 
and  had  a  beautiful  flower  garden,  tt 
fruits  of  which  she  shared  with  her 
friends.  She  enjoyed  shopping  and 
luncheon  outings.  For  her  the  ordin;

George  Hayes  Revisited 


B\  Jane  Tavlor  Wliite  '42 


Dr.  George  Passmore  Hayes,  81 , 
Professor  of  English  at  Agnes  Scott  for 
39  years,  found  three  things  at  Agnes 
Scott  which  influenced  his  staying  there 
for  the  larger  part  of  his  adult  life: 
scholastic  integrity,  the  smallness  of  the 
College  and  classes  so  that  relationships 
could  be  closer  and  more  meaningful, 
and  third,  the  religious  foundation  and 
structure. 

Those  alumnae  who  were  "turned  on" 
by  George  to  the  joy  of  learning  think  of 
his  great  scholarship  and  his  sharing  of 
it.  A  current  professor  at  Agnes  Scott 
said  in  a  talk  during  Sophomore  week- 
end in  February  1976,  "I  pay  tribute  to 
the  man  .  .  .  who  best  embodies  for  me 
all  that  I  think  of  when  I  think  of  study 
for  light  and  life  and  joy — a  man  who  by 
his  own  e.xample  encouraged  many  an 
Agnes  Scott  student  to  seek  'the  bright 
countenance  of  truth  in/The  quiet  and 
still  air  of  delightful  studies.'  I  am 
quoting  Milton,  of  course,  and  I  am 
speaking,  of  course,  about  Professor 
Emeritus  George  P.  Hayes." 

It  began  on  a  country  place  in 
Pennsylvania,  a  summer  residence  for 
the  Hayes  cousins,  where  the  children 
acted  out  scenes  from  Shakespeare's 
plays.  In  high  school  George  began  his 
'German  experience."  Latin  and  Greek 
came  to  mean  a  great  deal  with  the  study 


of  Horace  and  The  Odyssey.  At 
Swarthmore  College  and  later  at 
Harvard,  he  came  to  love  Chaucer  and 
Shakespeare. 

The  discovery  in  college  of  the  New 
York  Times  and  the  New  Republic  was 
his  introduction  to  political  and  public 
life.  Catherine  Marshall  wrote  in 
September  1977,  "...  how  indebted  I 
have  felt  all  these  years  to  you  and  to 
Philip  Davidson  for  the  years  of  careful 
training  and  critique  you  gave  the 
debating  teams.  .  .  1  would  say  I  gained 
more  from  my  experience  on  the 
debating  team  than  from  any  single 
course  I  took  in  college." 

His  appreciation  of  art  began  at 
Swarthmore  and  was  enriched  by  his 
French  wife,  Anne  Nissiat,  who  studied 
art  in  Lyons.  French  became  a  fourth 
language  when  George  took  courses  at 
Grenoble.  Together  he  and  Anne  read 
the  French  classics.  Three  children  were 
born  of  their  marriage.  Anne  died  in 
1972. 

George  was  involved  with  boy 
scouting  for  more  than  20  years, 
beginning  at  the  time  son  Henry  became 
a  Cub  Scout.  Three  aspects  of  the 
program  interested  him:  the  boys,  the 
contact  with  nature  on  monthly 
overnight  camping  trips,  and  the 
companionship  with  scouting 


committeemen. 

Brought  up  as  a  Unitarian  Quakei 
always  deeply  interested  in  religion 
George  wrote  his  Harvard  dissertati 
on  one  of  the  early  Quakers,  Rober 
Barclay.  His  teaching  years  at  Robe 
College  in  Constantinople  grew  out 
missionary  interest.  Through  the  ye 
Agnes  Scott,  he  studied  mysticism, 
especially  the  great  Mediterranean 
mystics  like  John  of  the  Cross,  St. 
Teresa,  and  St.  Catherine  of  Genoa 

A  Quaker  service  was  held  with  t 
children  every  Sunday  morning  in  tl 
home.  In  addition  to  a  period  of  silei 
worship,  there  was  Bible  reading  an 
memorizing,  then  a  question  and  an: 
time.  Later  they  attended  a  Quaker 
meeting  house  when  one  became 
available,  but  they  still  continued  th 
home  services.  After  the  service,  th 
family  usually  went  hiking,  walking 
logs,  fording  brooks,  then  came  hon 
dinner. 

George  came  to  know  Edna  Gran 
present  wife,  through  her  organizinj 
reading  groups  under  his  leadership 
Their  friendship  culminated  in  niarr 
in  1975  in  Christ  Church  (Episcopal) 
Sea  Island.  Since  then,  they  have 
worshipped  together  at  St.  Philip's  i 
Atlanta  where  he  had  a  deeply 
significant  religious  experience.  He 
been  baptized  and  confirmed  in  the 
Episcopal  Church. 

George  and  Edna  swim  every  day 
attend  plays,  movies,  and  opera.  Th 
go  to  Sea  Island  once  or  twice  a  yea 
to  an  annual  Shakespeare  festival  in 
Anniston,  Alabama.  They  are  currei 
rereading  (often  aloud)  some  of  the 
classics  along  with  works  of  Virgini 
Woolf  and  Kenneth  Clark. 

Agnes  Scott's  yearbook.  The 
Silhouette,  was  dedicated  to  him  in 
and  again  in  1955.  A  measure  of  the 
and  appreciation  felt  by  generations 
students  for  this  unique  and  creativ 
man  can  be  seen  in  these  dedication 
"For  helping  us  see  deeper  than  the 
surface  into  those  values  which  are 
and  lasting."  and  "...  how  this  mai 
lives  the  ideals  of  mental,  spiritual 
social,  and  physical  growth — one  in 
learning  far  above  us,  yet  in  spirit,  o 
us."

T.  S.  Eliot  once  wrote  that  the 
obligation  of  the  poet  is  "to  find  words 
for  the  inarticulate,  to  capture  those 
feelings  which  people  can  hardly  even 
feel  ...  [to  make]  people  comprehend 
the  incomprehensible."'  And  it  was  to 
accomplish  this  task  that  Eliot  took  a 
traditional  poetic  device,  that  of 
landscape  imagery,  and  transformed  it 
into  a  symbol  for  the  intangible,  an 
objectification  of  an  emotional  or 
spiritual  state  which  Eliot  called  an 
"objective  correlative." 

In  her  book  Landscape  as  Symbol  in 
the  Poetry  of  T.  S.  Eliot.  Nancy  Duvall 
Hargrove  asks  both  critic  and  reader  of 
Eliot's  poetry  to  consider  his  landscape, 
his  sense  of  place,  as  a  major  symbol  and 
as  equally  significant  as  his  sense  of 
time,  his  religious  and  philosophical 
beliefs,  and  his  literary  sources.  Unlike 
most  formalist  critics  who  view  a  literary 
work  as  a  thing  apart,  and  consequently 
to  be  judged  solely  by  its  organic  form 
and  content,  Hargrove  defends  the 
position  that  an  understanding  of  the 
actual  settings  is  crucial  to  the 
interpretation  of  Eliot's  poetry.  She 
argues  that  without  a  familiarity  with  the 
very  specific  places  Eliot  uses, 
especially  the  rather  obscure  settings  of 
Four  Quartets,  that  much  of  the  poetry's 
meaning  will  be  missed  or  distorted. 

For  those  who  have  not  visited  those 
places  that  figure  dominantly  in  Eliot's 
landscape — the  coast  of  Massachusetts, 
London's  world  of  commerce,  or  even 
more  specifically.  Burnt  Norton  Manor 
in  Gloustershire.  England — Hargrove's 
comments  help  to  interpret  passages 
containing  these  specific  landscapes. 

As  Hargrove  points  out,  Eliot's  use  of 
landscape  closely  parallels  his  own

My  Hand  My  Only  Map  is  a  small, 
beautiful  hook.  No  care  has  been  spared 
in  its  making,  and  there  are  no  long  waits 
between  good  poems.  It  is  a  gem. 

Most  important,  it  is  the  work  of  an 
Atlanta  poet,  a  gifted  young  woman,  Nat 
Anderson.  It  was  made  possible  by  a 
Georgia  Council  for  the  Arts  and 
Humanities  grant  and  published  by  a 
small  Atlanta  press.  Georgia  poetry 
lovers  and  book  collecters  should  not 
miss  this  one. 

Included  in  this  small  collection  is 
"Invitation  to  the  Archaeologist."  which 
won  the  Academy  of  American  Poets 
Award  at  Emory  in  1977.  It  is  a  call  to  an 
archaeologist  from  inside  an  ancient 
tomb,  a  call  that  is  mixed  with  longing, 
fear  that  the  scientist  will  not  hear,  and 
the  ancient  recognition  that  we  are  ruled 
by  certain  mysteries. 

There  are  other  poems  which  give 
glimpses  of  the  poet's  immediate  world, 
poems  about  family,  the  power  of 
dreams,  about  a  growing  sense  of  self. 

Bob  Tauber  at  Pynyon  Press  in 
Atlanta  designed  the  book  and  hand- 
printed 500  copies.  Because  it  is  such  a 
limited  edition,  it  is  hoped  that  there  will 
be  a  second  printing  when  the  demand 
for  this  book  spreads  to  other  areas  of 
the  country.  In  the  world  of  small  press 
publications,  500  is  usually  adequate  for 
an  unknown  poet  and  press  to  distribute. 
But  I  would  guess  that  Georgia  sales  of 
this  book  will  use  up  the  supply  before 
New  York  and  Colorado  get  their 
chance.  Gif(i  Maritzer  Smith

Thompson  entertained  the  entire  Bai 
Association  annually  for  many  years,  a 
habit  that  frequently  got  him  and  his 
teenage  grandson  into  trouble.  Maude 
was  a  teetotaler,  who  during  the  Bar 
picnics,  left  the  Bend  with  instructions 
that  no  alcohol  was  to  be  drunk.  Many

spiritual  development  and  should  be 
considered  a  major  factor  in  his  lifelon 
"raid  on  the  inarticulate,"  his  wrestlinj 
to  prune  and  curb  the  English  word  to 
describe  the  struggle  of  the  human  spiri 
for  meaning  ("East  Coker,"  V.  179). 
From  the  desolate  setting  of  The  Wastt 
Land  where  nightingales  sing  to  dirty 
ears  and  man  is  a  pitifully  harried  and 
demeaned  being,  Eliot  journeys  to  a 
landscape  in  Four  QuartetstUal 
symbolizes  his  own  spiritual  vision: 

When  the  short  day  is  brightest 
with  frost  and  fire. 

The  brief  sun  flames  the  ice.

In  windless  Cold  that  is  the 

heart's  heat  .  .  . 

("Little  Gidding,"  L4-6). 

Without  knowledge  of  his  landscape  an 
recognition  of  its  importance,  we 
cannot,  as  Hargrove  asserts,  fully 
appreciate  Eliot's  journey  at  the  end  of 
which  he  says: 

We  shall  not  cease  from 

exploration 
And  the  end  of  all  our  e.xploring 
Will  be  to  arrive  where  we  started 
And  know  the  place  for  the

Glass  Exhibit  Set  for  Dalton  Galleries 


Harvey  K.  Littleton's  glass  sculpture  "Progression"  1977. 


H  Carolina  Glass  "78  is  the  third 
series  of  biennial  off-hand  glass 
itions  organized  by  Joan  Falconer 
'61 .  professor  of  art  at  Western 
ina  University.  CuUowhee,  North 
ina.  Sixty-two  pieces  from  North 
Una  Glass  '78 have  been  chosen  by 
lists  to  comprise  the  exhibition. 
1  will  appear  at  the  Dalton  galleries 


of  Agnes  Scott  from  February  18-March 
15.  1979. 

The  present  exhibition  gains  special 
significance  from  the  participation  of 
Harvey  K.  Littleton,  founder  of  the 
studio  glass  movement  in  the  United 
States,  who  recently  left  his  teaching 
position  at  the  University  of  Wisconsin 
to  settle  in  the  mountains  of  North 


Carolina.  In  addition  to  the  sculptures  by 
Mr.  Littleton,  the  show  includes  glass  in 
a  variety  of  more  traditional  container 
forms,  the  work  of  nine  outstanding 
artists  from  the  state,  among  whom  Fritz 
Dreisbach  and  Mark  Peiser  are  perhaps 
the  most  widely  recognized  nationally.

An  organizational  meeting  at  the 
home  of  Dee  Hampton  Flannagan  '69  in 
Bristol.  Va.,  brought  together  part  of 
this  club's  far-flung  membership  and 
resulted  in  the  selection  of  Peggy  Frede- 
rick Smith  '62  as  chairman  and  Jennifer 
Meinrath  Egan  '67.  co-chairman.  Alum-

Winston-Salenn 

Dlan  or  Stlidents  Marty  Kirkland 
took  a  flying  trip  up  and  back  to  spend  a 
few  hours  with  this  group  of  alumnae  at 
an  October  28  luncheon  at  the  Forsyth 
Country  Club.  She  described  life  on  the 
campus  and  told  of  the  hopes  and 
aspirations  of  today"s  students.  Director 
of  Alumnae  Affairs  Virginia  Brown 
McKenzie  "47  brought  greetings  from 
the  Alumnae  Association  and  congratu- 
lated the  group  on  its  planning.  Lucy 
Morcock  Milner  '63  gave  an  account  of 
her  visit  to  the  campus  for  Alumnae 
Council  earlier  that  month.  Sybil  Strupe 
Rights  '60  coordinated  the  luncheon.

(from  pa  fit'  8) 


being  in  our  midst.  He  had  an  abiding 
enthusiasm  for  learning  and  an  uncanny 
knack  of  transferring  his  love  of  learning 
to  his  students,  for  whom  he  had  the 
greatest  respect  and  concern. 

As  a  teacher  he  was  thorough,  but 
realistic  in  his  expectations;  he  was 
demanding,  but  patient  with  his 
students'  struggles;  he  was  serious,  but 
jovial  in  conveying  the  fun  and 
excitement  of  chemistry. 

Marion  Clark  was  respected  and 
admired  by  his  fellow  faculty  members 
not  only  for  his  ability  as  a  chemist  and 
as  a  teacher,  but  also  for  his  personal 
traits  of  wisdom,  honesty,  compassion, 
good  humor,  and  steadfastness  in 
upholding  the  principles  to  which  he 
ascribed.  He  was  open-minded  and 
judicious,  but  always  adamant  about 
upholding  those  principles  which  he  felt 
w  ere  the  foundations  of  a  good 
education  and  personal  integrity. 

Each  of  us  w  ho  knew  Marion  Clark 
w  as  aware  that  he  was  a  loving  and 
caring  friend,  a  devoted  husband  and 
father,  and  a  Christian  man  whose  every 
action  reflected  his  deep  belief  in  God. 
We  are  grateful  for  his  presence  among 
us  and  shall  treasure  the  legacy  he  has 
left  to  us. 


Fund  Figures 

The  endowment  and  other  permanent 
funds  listed  in  the  fall  1978  issue  of  the 
Alumnae  Quarterly  represent  the 
following  total  of  gifts  by  the  donors  as 
of  September  15,  1978;  special  funds, 
$7,800,480;  memorial  funds,  $3,593,629;

June  30,  1978,  audit  of  the  College  shows 
that  the  total  for  plant  funds  was 
$14,929,219.  This  includes  both  the 
unexpended  plant  funds  and  the  funds 
already  invested  in  the  plant. 

During  1978-79  the  following  income 
will  be  available  for  the  respective 
purposes  of  these  funds:  memorial 
funds,  $251,577;  scholarship  funds, 
$144,142;  library  funds,  $11,724, 

The  51  memorial  funds  range  in 
amounts  from  two  of  $1,000  each  to  one 
of  $555,999.  The  median  is  $10,000. 
There  are  12  funds  in  this  group  of 
$100,000  or  more. 

The  191  scholarship  funds  range  from 
26  of  $  1 .000  to  one  of  $294 .064 .  The 
median  is  $4,000.  There  are  50  funds  in 
this  group  of  $10,000  or  more  and  22 
funds  of  $25,000  or  more. 

The  21  library  funds  range  from  five  of 
$1,000  to  one  of  $47,000.  The  median  is 
$2,389.  There  are  only  four  funds  in  this 
group  of  $10,000  or  more. 

Christie    (from  page  8) 

things  of  life  became  extraordinary,  as 
she  appreciated  beauty  in  all  areas  of 
living. 

Miss  Christie's  dedication  to  the 
College  was  exemplary  both  in  terms  of 
the  number  of  years  she  taught  and  in 
her  commitment  to  the  College — to  her 
students,  her  colleagues,  and  the 
institution  itself.  She  taught  for  37  years 
from  1925-1962  and  thus  influenced 
hundreds  of  young  women. 

John  Gardner  also  states,  "we  shall 
renew  neither  ourselves,  nor  our  society, 
nor  a  troubled  world  unless  we  share  a 
vision  of  something  worth  saving." 
Annie  May  Christie  had  a  vision  of 
something  worth  saving;  her  life 
reflected  this  vision.  Her  legacy  then 
would  be  for  all  of  us  whom  she 
influenced  and  enriched  to  strive  toward 
renewal — of  ourselves  and  of  the  world 
in  which  we  live.

Letters 


When  I  saw  that  page  of  Beowulf  on  the 
cover  of  the  summer  Quarterly.  I  knew 
Jane  Pepperdene  would  be  inside,  and 
was  she  ever!  Her  report  on  the  English 
department  is  a  beautifully  handled 
record  of  an  achievement  that  must 
stand  with  the  very  best  in  the  country 
for  the  last  ten  years.  These  are  the  same 
years  in  which  many  formerly  fine 
English  departments  have  crumbled  into 
fragmented  pseudo-studies.  They  are 
now  trying  to  put  themselves  together 
again,  but  once  more,  by  not  yielding  to 
faddish  weakness.  Agnes  Scott  has  come 
out  ahead.  Thanks  for  printing  Jane's 
article.  It  will  be  read  with  wistful  envy 
on  many  a  campus. 

Eleanor  Hutchens  '40 
Hunts ville.  Alabama 

July  9,  I  was  ordained  here  at  Central 
Presbyterian  Church.  It  was  perhaps  the 
highest  moment  of  my  life.  My  first 
month  of  ministry  has  proven  to  be  both 


demanding  and  rewarding.  Mike,  my 
husband,  is  also  on  staff  here  (an 
associate,  just  as  I  am)  and  we  are 
excited  about  our  team  ministry 
approach.  The  congregation  has 
received  us  warmly  and  seems  to  share 
our  enthusiasm.  Our  sense  of  call  to 
ministry  has  been  confirmed  by  our 
experience.  There  is  nothing  we  would 
rather  be  doing  with  our  lives. 

As  I  think  back  on  my  years  at  Agne 
Scott,  I  recall  that  there  were  several  in 
my  class  who  also  felt  a  sense  of  call  t( 
ministry  but  feared  doors  would  be 
closed  to  them  as  women.  For  one 
reason  or  another  many  gave  up  their 
aspirations. 

I  would  like  to  communicate 
somehow,  to  those  who  may  be  where 
was  three  or  four  years  ago.  Yes,  it's 
difficult.  But  it  is  worth  it.  Open  the 
doors  you  find  closed !

Merle  Grubbs  Walker 

1911-1979 


Bv  Richard  D.  Parrx 


ILE  GRUBBS  WALKER  taught  at 
s  Scott  College  for  thirteen  years, 
1958  until  1971.  She  received  the 
degree  from  Hollins  College  and 
graduate  work  in  English  at  the 
ersity  of  Virginia.  Later  she  re- 
id  an  M.A.  and  Ph.D.  from  Harvard 
■ersity.  While  at  Harvard  she  mar- 
Andrew  J.  Walker;  they  raised  two 
hters,  Caroline  and  Dorothy.  To- 
the  end  of  this  first  career,  she 
n  another  as  an  instructor  in  the 
;s  Scott  Department  of  English.  In 
,  she  was  appointed  assistant  pro- 
)r  of  philosophy,  finally  becoming 
:iate  professor  and  chairman  of  the 
rtment. 

I  her  students,  Mrs.  Walker  was  an 
lectual  beacon  and  an  ideal.  Stu- 
ts  were  impressed  by  two 
acteristics — the  compass  of  her 
vledge  and  the  humility  with  which 
used  it.  One  effect  of  her  career — 
by  no  means  the  most  important — is 
number  of  teaching  careers  she 
;d  found.   One   of   these  teachers 


remarked  that,  in  writing  Mrs.  Walker's 
former  students,  she  found  herself  ad- 
dressing a  lot  of  people  with  doctoral 
degrees.  Of  course,  Mrs.  Walker's  most 
important  legacy  is  that  all  of  her 
students — teachers  or  not — were  in- 
fected with  a  respect  for  and  enjoyment 
of  ideas. 

Merle  was  not  only  a  teacher,  she  was 
a  thinker  whose  mind  always  searched 
and  examined.  She  embodied,  in  a  way 
that  few  can  match,  what  the  Agnes 
Scott  statement  of  purpose  calls  our 
faith  in  the  life  of  the  mind.  Her  major 
philosophical  interests  were  the  works  of 
Plato,  continental  phenomenologists, 
and  Whitehead,  the  latter  one  of  her 
teachers.  Beyond  philosophy,  she  read 
theology,  literature,  and  history.  But 
most  of  all,  she  talked  about  these  things 
with  an  intensity  which  showed  the  kind 
of  devotion  she  had,  not  just  for  the 
subjects  as  academic  disciplines,  but  for 
what  the  subjects  were  about. 

Merle  was  a  deeply  religious  person — 
a  member  of  St.  Bartholomew's  Church 


and  a  worker  at  Emmaus  House.  How 
important  it  was  to  her  most  would  not 
have  known  because  she  had  such  a 
sense  of  gravity  about  religion.  It  is  next 
to  impossible  to  speak  for  another  in 
these  matters;  but  at  times  the  attempt  is 
still  necessary.  Let  us  say  then  that  her 
sense  of  gravity  was  based  on  the 
conviction  that  authenticity  in  religious 
belief  most  often  must  manifest  itself 
obliquely;  like  a  sacrament,  it  is  the 
ordinary  thing  done  in  a  certain  way. 

She  remarked  to  me  once  that,  al- 
though the  danger  was  not  imminent,  she 
would  not  like  having  a  building  or  a 
room  named  after  her.  It  was  typical  of 
what  sometimes  amounted  almost  to  a 
dread  of  being  praised  or  recognized. 
But  at  the  time  of  her  death  so  many 
have  come  together  so  spontaneously 
out  of  love  and  respect  for  this  woman 
that  we  all  recognize  in  one  another  the 
structure  that  Merle  built  with  her  life. 
And  even  she  would  let  herself  be  proud 
of  it.

Update 


The  Department 


By  Dr.  Gunther  Bicknese 


^rmon 


ROLE  of  German  in  American 
tion  has  undergone  several  notable 
es  in  the  past  100  years.  Until 
i  War  I,  German  was  the  leading 
n  language   at   American  univer- 

The  reading  of  Goethe's  Faust 
obligatory  for  most  American 
ate  students,  an  acquaintance  with 
neteenth-century  Novelle  a  matter 
irse.  American  students  desiring  to 

their  education  often  spent  a  year 

at  the  universities  of  Heidelberg, 
igen,  Gottingen,  or  Berlin.  With  the 

of  World  War  I.  however,  the 
lum  swung  in  the  opposite  direc- 
the  study  of  German  was  largely 
itinued,  and,  although  some  of  the 

were  recovered  in  the  late  twen- 
ierman  has  remained  in  third  place, 
ig  far  behind  Spanish  and  French. 

War  II  had  little  effect  on  the 
of  college  German,  and  the  strik- 
:surgence  of  German  (and  other 
rn  foreign  languages)  following  the 
ik  shock  of  1957  was  only  short- 
Basically,  German,  together  with 
h  and  Spanish,  is  still  engaged  in  an 
battle  in  an  academic  world  that  is 
ling  increasingly  career  and  busi- 
ariented. 

:  nutshell  survey  of  the  past  100 
presented  here  is  reflected  and 
eled  in  the  history  of  the  Agnes 
Department  of  German.  A  few 
igo  there  appeared  in  the  Alumnae 
terly  a  photograph  of  the  Agnes 
German  Club  in  the  year  1902.  This 
e  of  the  "good  old  days"  showed 
rofessor  and  the  surprising  number 
elve  student  club  members.  The 
ies  and  thirties,  mostly  under  Pro- 
r  Muriel  Harn's  devoted  and  capa- 
lairmanship.  were  years  of  modest 
ment,  while  the  "golden  sixties" 
ht  new  hope  to  American  educa- 
n  general  and  — especially  because 
he  economic  boom  in  West 
any — to  German  in  particular. 
Miss  Harn's  death  Professor  Erika 
r  Shiver,  formerly  the  chairman  of 
German  department  at  Mount 
3ke  College,  took  the  helm,  and 
her  experienced  leadership  the 
tment  saw  a  period  of  remarkable 
h.  Soon  another  full-time  member 


Gunther  Bickiusc.  ihairman  of  the  Department  of  German 


was  added  to  the  department,  followed 
by  an  additional,  part-time  instructor. 

The  decreasing  overall  enrollment  at 
the  College  of  the  mid-seventies  left  its 
mark  on  the  German  department,  hut 
fortunately  not  in  the  proportions  one 
could  and  should  have  expected.  Erika 
Meyer  Shiver  retired  in  1973,  but  in  the 
current  academic  year  of  1978-79  the 
department  still  has  two  full-time  profes- 
sors and  one  part-time  instructor.  Even 
today,  enough  Agnes  Scott  freshmen 
select  German  to  meet  their  foreign 
language  requirement  to  necessitate  two 
beginners'  sections,  and  we  still  have  an 
average  of  two  to  three  German  majors 
per  year. 

Mrs.  Viola  Westbrook,  a  native  of 
Hamburg,  with  an  M.A.  in  German  from 
Emory  University,  teaches  second  year 
German  and  German  phonetics  on  a 
part-time  basis.  Associate  Professor  In- 
grid  Wieshofer  Hogan  (Ph.D.,  Universi- 
ty of  Vienna,  Austria)  shares  the  respon- 
sibility for  the  other  department  offer- 
ings, above  all,  literature  and  culture 
courses,  with  Professor  G'linther  Bick- 
nese    (Ph.D.,    University   of    Marburg, 


Germany),  chairman  of  the  department 
since  1969.  We  are  pleased  that  all 
members  of  the  German  faculty  are 
native  speakers  of  German. 

The  curriculum  of  the  department  has 
continually  taken  into  account  the  fact 
that  student  interests  have  changed 
along  with  our  ever-changing  times,  and 
that  dedication  to  a  liberal  arts  education 
does  not  mean  restriction  to  the  reading 
of  great  masterpieces  by  classical  au- 
thors. While  we  still  require  our  majors 
to  take  a  course  in  Goethe's  Faust  as 
well  as  courses  in  the  greatest  authors  of 
the  eighteenth  and  nineteenth  centuries, 
such  as  Lessing,  Schiller,  and  Kleist,  we 
have  added  a  number  of  courses  dealing 
with  the  literature  of  our  own  age  and  a 
course  called  "German  Life  and 
Thought,"  which  deals  with  many  perti- 
nent aspects  of  the  four  German- 
speaking  countries.  To  aid  our  students 
in  understanding  contemporary  litera- 
ture, a  study  of  the  basics  of  German 
history,  politics,  economics,  communi- 
cation, art,  music,  and  theater  is  of  great 
value.

The  Deporfment  of  German 


(continued) 


Another  change  since  the  late  1950s  is 
a  shift  of  emphasis  in  our  language 
instruction.  Speaking  and  understanding 
German  have  gained  equality  with  read- 
ing and  writing.  The  first-year  textbook 
currently  used  by  the  department — 
originally  published  by  Erika  Meyer 
and  completely  revised  in  1976  by 
Erika  Meyer  and  Giinther  Bicknese — 
emphasizes  speaking  and  understanding 
no  less  that  reading  and  writing.  This 
approach  is  aided  by  the  presence  of  a 
native  German  student  on  the  Agnes 
Scott  campus.  During  each  of  the  past 
four  years,  we  have  had  such  a  student 
from  West  Germany  serving  as  a  depart- 
ment assistant.  Her  responsibilities 
cover  the  activities  of  the  German  Club, 
the  annual  German  play,  the  German 
lunch  table,  tutoring,  and,  most  impor- 
tantly, supervision  of  the  German  cor- 
ridor in  the  dormitory,  where  students 
have  an  opportunity  to  practice  German 
outside  of  the  classroom  in  their  every- 
day surroundings. 

This  departmental  update  cannot  be 
concluded  without  mentioning  two  very 
important  assets  that  have  helped  the 
Department  of  German  to  retain  its 
qualitative  and  quantitative  strength  dur- 
ing taxing  years  of  constant  struggle:  the 
Goethe  Institute  of  Atlanta  and  the 
Agnes  Scott  Summer  Study  Program  in 
Marburg. 

In  1977  a  new  branch  of  the  German 
Cultural  Center  (Goethe  Institute)  was 
established  in  Atlanta.  This  opened  up  so 
many  new  doors  to  our  department  that 
it  is  impossible  to  list  all  the  benefits  we 
constantly  derive  from  it.  The  Institute 
itself   offers   on  location   an   excellent 


library,  films,  concerts,  language 
classes,  lectures;  and  it  arranges  for  the 
schools  in  the  metropolitan  Atlanta  area 
a  wealth  of  exhibitions,  speakers,  and 
cultural  events  of  all  kinds,  such  as  have 
never  before  been  known  in  this  part  of 
the  United  States. 

The  summer  in  Germany,  a  six-week 
intensive  program  of  study  in  German 
language  and  literature,  implemented  by 
Professor  Bicknese  in  1971,  had  its 
fourth  successful  session  in  1978.  Begin- 
ning in  1980,  the  program  will  be  offered 
regularly  in  alternate  years.  For  six 
weeks  Agnes  Scott  students  and  eligible 
students  from  other  colleges  travel  to  the 
picturesque  medieval  university  town  of 
Marburg  and  immerse  themselves  in  the 
German    culture.    Living   like   German 


students,  they  enroll  in  special  cci 
conducted  by  Mr.  Bicknese  and 
ified  Marburg  instructors  and  partic 
in  numerous  field  trips  and  cul 
events.  An  optional  post-program 
offers  a  two-week  trip  to  Berlin,  Pn 
Vienna,  and  Munich.  Returning  tc 
United  States,  students  have  learn( 
much  German  as  during  a  full  yea 
their  home  campus  and  have  ex 
enced  more  of  the  German  culture 
any  book  could  ever  attempt  to  t 
them.  If  it  is  true  that  the  Go 
Institute  is  giving  this  department 
logistic  support  it  so  urgently  n 
these  days,  then  it  must  also  be  said 
the  summer  study.program  in  Marbi 
its  single  most  important  supplie 
blood  and  fresh  air.  ▲

One  cannot  think  of  Marie  Huper  Pepe 
without  thinking  of  her  enthusiasm, 
effervescence  and  enjoyment  of  life.  Dr. 
Pepe  is  chairman  of  the  art  department  at 
Agnes  Scott  College,  a  position  she 
assumed  after  the  retirement  of  Fer- 
dinand Warren  10  years  ago.  She  came 
to  Agnes  Scott  in  1951  as  assistant 
professor  of  art. 

In  addition  to  teaching  art  history  and 
guiding  Agnes  Scott  students  during  the 
academic  year,  she  has  also  participated 
in  the  Scott  program  abroad  during  the 
summer  months.  On  this  program  she 
has  given  instruction  to  students  on  art 
history  in  Germany,  in  Spain,  and  twice 
in  Rome.  Marie  Pepe's  recounting  of  the 
European  summer  programs  makes  them 
sound  exciting,  sometimes  hilarious,  and 
consumately  educational. 

But  Dr.  Pepe's  travels  have  not  been 
confined  to  trips  for  the  College.  Over 
the  last  few  years  the  Pepes  (Marie  and 
Charlie)  have  used  available  bits  of 
Christmas  and  summer  vacations  to  tour 
Guatemala  to  see  the  Mayan  ruins; 
Canada,  to  attend  the  Shakespeare  festi- 
val; Europe,  including  Denmark  where 
Marie  visited  family;  Peru,  to  see  the 
ruins;  Rio;  and  Russia. 

The  Pepes  continue  to  maintain  their 
home  on  Lake  Burton  in  North  Georgia. 


And  they  have  a  new  city  home  in  Stone 
Mountain.  The  house  has  soaring  ceil- 
ings and  inviting  wall  space  designed  for 
Marie's  collection  of  Ferdie  Warrens, 
Lee  Stevens,  Ben  Smiths,  Jim  McLeans, 
and,  of  course,  Marie  Hupers. 

One  comes  away  from  a  visit  with  this 
warm,  busy,  loving  person  feeling  im- 
measurably cheered.  A 


Dr.  Paul  Garber  Leads  Trip  to  Bible  Lands 


To  Be  in  Jerusalem  during  Holy  Week 
and  Easter  is  an  unmatched  opportunity. 
Dr.  and  Mrs.  Paul  Garber  are  planning  a 
trip  to  provide  such  an  opportunity  from 
March  23  through  April  10.  1980. 

The  Garbers  have  planned  the  19-day 
itinerary  carefully  so  that  each  day.  tour 
members  will  see  important  places  and 
will  know  the  significance  of  that  place. 
The  whole  journey  runs  from  Dan  to 
Beersheba  and  from  the  Arabian  desert 
to  the  Mediterranean  Sea.  Though  com- 
prehensive, the  tour  will  include  times 
for  rest,  wandering,  and  shopping. 

Highlights  include:  two  days  in 
Damascus  which  Abraham  visited  and 
where  Paul  the  persecutor  became  St. 
Paul  the  missionary;  two  days  in  Jordan 
with  Jerash.  a  Middle  East  Pompeii,  and 
an  all-day  excursion  to  Petra,  the  "rose- 
red  city  half  again  as  old  as  time;"  four 
days  in  Galilee  and  northern  Israel  with 
visits  to  Capernaum,  Nazareth,  Megid- 
do,    and    Caesarea;    five    days    in 


Jerusalem,  enough  time  to  feel  at  home 
in  this  unique  city  which  has  been  called 
Everyman's  spiritual  birthplace;  one  in 
David's  city — Bethlehem;  one  full  day's 
excursion  by  air  to  Mt.  Sinai  with  the 
Mountain  of  Moses  and  St.  Catherine's 
monastery;  in  Judea  and  southern  Israel, 
two  days  from  Joppa  to  Jericho,  remind- 
ing us  of  Simon  the  tanner,  Samson, 
David  and  Goliath,  the  Philistines,  the 
Qumran  (Dead  Sea  Scrolls)  community, 
Joshua,  and  John  the  Baptist. 

Pre-tour  evenings  at  the  College  with 
illustrated  lectures  and  tour-talk  are 
being  planned  as  well  as  a  post-tour 
gathering.  Dr.  and  Mrs.  Garber  are 
undertaking  the  tour  of  Bible  lands  in  the 
spring  as  a  service  to  alumnae,  their 
families,  and  friends  of  the  College. 
Details  and  price  will  be  available  later. 
Now  is  the  time  to  register  interest  with;

Dean  of  Students.  Martha  C.  Kirkland 


Services  administered  by  the  Of 
of  the  Dean  of  Students  include  Fi 
cial  Aid,  Career  Planning,  and  Hf 
Services.  The  office  staff  is  also  res 
sible  for  the  housing  of  students, 
orientation  of  all  new  students,  and 
counseling  of  students  on  non-acad« 
matters.  Dean  Martha  C.  Kirkland 
staff  provide  these  services  to  the  Aj 
Scott  student  body. 

Martha  C.    Kirkland,   Dean  of 
dents,  came  to  Agnes  Scott  in  Septen 
1 974 — '  'almost  long  enough  ago  not  t 
new,"  she  laughs.  An  Illinois  native 
received    her    master's    degree    f 
George   Washington   University  in 
ministration   and   supervision,   she 
taught    in    the    Montgomery    Coi 
Schools   in   Rockvilie,    Maryland, 
then  served  as  chairman  of  the  phys 
education  department  at  Mount  Ver 
College    in    Washington,    D.C..  be 
becoming  Dean  of  Students  and 
Dean    of    Student    Affairs    there, 
simultaneously  served  as  practicum 
visor    for    the    graduate    programs 
George  Washington  University  am 
American    University.    She    is    Aj 
Scott's  first  married  Dean  of  Studei 

Marty  sees  her  job  as  dean  hert 
"the  best  job  in  the  world."  Worl 
with  young  women  who  are  concer 
with  the  direction  their  lives  will  ti 
who  are  still  flexible  enough  to  k 
from  their  mistakes,  who  are  full  of 
and  are  learning  about  themselves, 
most  important  component  in  mal 
her  job  fulfilling. 

Dean  Kirkland  views  the  unity  wii 
the  office  itself  as  another  import 
factor  that  makes  her  job  reward 
Noting  that  each  member  of  the  vari 
office  divisions  is  concerned  with 
dent  needs  and  problems,  Marty  po: 
to  the  individually  oriented  care 
interest  taken  with  every  student. 

She  describes  Agnes  Scott  student; 
of    "high    quality"    and    "responsi 
young  women,"   stating  that  they 
here  primarily  for  their  academic  f 
suits   and   to  learn   total   growth, 
believes    the    students    here    are 
cream   of  the  crop — academically 
personally."  Dean  Kirkland  is  in  cl 
contact  with  the  student  body,  meet 
once  a  week  with  the  presidents  of

?  Personal  Approach 


e  cornerstone  of  Agnes  Scott  life, 
onor  system,  is  founded  upon  the 
ort.  mature  judgment,  and  personal 
rity  of  every  student.  Under  the 
r  system,  regulations,  both  social 
academic,  are  based  upon  their 
to  the  community  and  to  the 
idual  student.  Dean  Kirkland  be- 
i  that  the  changes  in  Agnes  Scott 
nts  and  in  Agnes  Scott  student  life 
:t  those  in  society  and  notes  that  the 
?es  as  well  as  the  students,  are 
date  without  being  extreme.  Social 
ges  have  been  student-initiated  and 
been  "'very  gradual  and  well 
ht  through."  according  to  Dean 
land. 

/o  fairly  recent  social  changes  have 

the  passing  and  implementation  of 

■arietal  and  drinking  policies.  Under 

larietal  policy,  men  are  allowed  to 

a   student's   room   during  certain 

.  When  the  policy  was  first  passed 

years  ago.  men  were  allowed  in  the 

is  on  Sunday  afternoons  from  one  to 

p.m.  During  fall  quarter,  students 

i  an  extension  of  this  regulation. 

nen  may  now  visit  in  rooms  on  both 

rday  and  Sunday  afternoons.  Each 

nt  signs  her  guest  in  and  accom- 

s  him  from  and  to  the  lobby. 

le  current  drinking  policy  has  been 

feet  three  years.  Under  it.  alcoholic 

rages  are  permitted,  in  compliance 

state  and  local  laws,  on  the  Agnes 

campus    at    campus-wide    social 

ions  held  in  designated  areas,  as 

dinated  and  evaluated  by  the  Board 

udent  Activities  and  as  approved  by 

Kirkland.  A  non-alcoholic  bever- 

must  also  be  served  at  such  func- 

No  College  or  Student  Govern- 

funds  are  used  for  the  purchase  of 

lolic  beverages  at  any  function  held 

r  on  campus. 

lother  change  has  been  the  locking 
1  dormitories  until  six  p.m.  Each 
ent  is  issued  a  personal  key  to  her 
litory.  Hostesses  are  on  duty  in  the

ASSISTANT  DEAN 
OF  STUDENTS 


AssiST.^NT  Dean  of  Students  Mollie 
Merrick,  a  1957  graduate  of  Agnes  Scott, 
returned  to  the  College  in  January  1959 
as  an  assistant  to  the  Dean  of  Students. 
She  received  the  M.A.  degree  in  student 
personnel  administration  from  Teachers 
College  of  Columbia  University  in  1965. 
Dean  Merrick  has  several  areas  of 
student  life  for  which  she  carries  the 
primary  responsibilities:  housing,  orien- 
tation of  new  students,  and  Sophomore 
Parents"  Weekend. 

Dean  Merrick  assigns  rooms  and  ar- 
ranges any  room  changes  that  occur 
during  the  year.  By  reading  and  studying 
the  individual  folders,  she  decides  on  the 
roommates  of  all  new  students.  Another 
aspect  of  housing  is  working  with  the 


senior  residents  (housem.others)  who  are 
hired  to  live  in  the  dormitories  to  counsel 
students  and  to  deal  with  emergencies 
that  might  arise.  To  maintain  unity 
among  the  dorms,  the  senior  residents. 
Dean  Kirkland,  and  Dean  Merrick  hold 
regular  staff  meetings  to  discuss  campus 
events  and  to  share  counseling  concerns. 
Each  resident  works  at  her  dormitory's 
hostess  desk,  thereby  affording  one  way 
of  getting  to  know  the  students  in  that 
dorm  better. 

Orientation  for  new  students  is  an 
overall  program  to  introduce  students  to 
every  phase  of  life  on  and  off  campus 
and  theoretically  lasts  the  entire  year. 
However,  the  official  program  ends  with 
the  Black  Cat  festivities  in  the  fall. 

Mollie  states  that  the  students, 
through  Orientation  Council,  coordinate 
orientation  activities  for  the  new  stu- 
dents. The  Council,  consisting  of  eight 
students  and  Dean  Merrick,  involve  the 
total  campus  in  presenting  as  com- 
prehensive an  introduction  to  Agnes 
Scott  as  possible.  In  addition  to  the 
Council,  students  from  the  sophomore. 


Barbara  Smith,  secretary:  Marty  Kirkland:  Mollie  Merrick  '57.  assistant  dean 


junior,  and  senior  classes  are  "Big 
Sisters"  to  incoming  students,  welcom- 
ing them  to  Agnes  Scott  and  helping 
them  throughout  the  year. 

One  of  the  most  rewarding  programs 
of  orientation  is  the  introduction  to  the 
academic  life  of  the  campus.  The 
academic  chairman  on  Orientation 
Council  is  head  of  a  student/faculty 
committee  which  plans  for  an  intellectu- 
al component  in  the  orientation  process. 
This  committee  chooses  a  book  to  be 
read  by  all  new  students  and  then  plans  a 
time  for  small  groups  to  discuss  the  book 
with  a  faculty  member.  The  faculty 
members  come  from  a  cross  section  of 
departments  and  have  had  enthusiastic 
discussions  among  themselves  in  prepar- 
ing for  the  freshmen.  The  last  two 
authors  whose  books  were  chosen, 
Reynolds  Price  and  Eudora  Welty,  made 
fall  visits  to  the  campus  to  discuss  and 
read  their  works.  These  have  been 
exciting  events  for  the  entire  communi- 
ty. The  academic  chairman  also  assists 
Dean  Gue  Hudson  '68,  class  dean  for 
freshmen  and  sophomores,  in  the  more 
routine  academic  matters.  Senior  coun- 
selors work  with  groups  of  freshmen  to 
help  with  getting  courses  selected  and 
scheduled  as  well  as  with  suggested 
study  guidelines. 

A  relatively  new  position  within  orien- 


tation is  that  of  the  return-to-college 
chairman  on  Orientation  Council.  She  is 
in  charge  of  a  specialized  orientation 
program  for  these  students.  Their  "Big 
Sisters"  are  women  who  have  been 
enrolled  in  the  RTC  program.  Because 
these  students  come  with  special  needs 
as  well  as  unique  contributions  to  make, 
their  orientation  is  planned  accordingly. 

Besides  Dean  Merrick's  housing  and 
orientation  responsibilities,  she  is  the 
faculty  chairman  of  Sophomore  Parents" 
Weekend,  which  was  held  this  winter 
quarter  for  the  21st  time.  This  was  Miss 
Merrick's  second  year  as  chairman.  The 
committee  for  this  event  is  composed 
primarily  of  sophomores  with  a  few 
faculty  members  who  help  plan  and 
organize  the  weekend's  events.  A  great 
success  and  a  College  tradition.  Sopho- 
more Parents'  Weekend  introduces  par- 
ents to  all  phases  of  campus  life — 
academic,  creative,  recreational,  and 
social. 

Dean  Merrick,  like  the  rest  of  the 
office,  illustrates  interest  and  involv- 
ment  with  the  students.  Her  work  with 
them  from  before  the  time  they  arrive  at 
Agnes  Scott  in  setting  up  rooms  and 
roommates  and  then  in  their  orientation 
once  they  arrive  plays  an  important  role 
in  the  Agnes  Scott  experience  for  each 
student. 


FINANCIAL  AID 


Director  of  Financial  Aid,  Boi 
Brown  Johnson  '70,  sees  the  Ag 
Scott  financial  aid  program  as  a  vis 
and  tangible  commitment  to  the 
dents,  a  proof  of  the  College's  belie 
each  student's  ability.  She  points 
that,  unlike  many  colleges,  most  of 
money  used  for  financial  aid  comes  fi 
Agnes  Scott  rather  than  the  fed 
government.  Over  70%  of  Agnes  Si 
students  receive  financial  assista 
from  some  source,  and  the  amoun 
Agnes  Scott  financial  aid  expendec 
1977-78  exceeded  $500,000. 

The  main  purpose  of  the  Collej 
financial  aid  program  is  to  give 
qualified  students  the  opportunity 
attend,  regardless  of  their  families' 
nancial  circumstances.  Presently, 
College  meets  100%  of  every  stude 
demonstrated  need. 

The  amount  of  financial  aid  awards 
student   represents   the   difference 
tween   the   cost   of   attending  and 
family's  ability  to  pay.  The  Financial 
Committee  uses  two  forms,  the  Fan

icial  Statement  of  the  American 
;ge  Testing  Program  and.  more 
the  Financial  Aid  Form  of  the 
:ge  Scholarship  Service,  to  deter- 
a  student's  need.  Some  of  the 
rs  considered  in  determining  need 
de  family  income  and  assets,  the 
;nt"s  income,  medical  expenses, 
number  of  dependents,  retirement 
i'ances,  number  of  dependents  in 
ge,  and  current  living  expenses. 
;cording  to  Bonnie,  the  financial  aid 
age  at  Agnes  Scott  is  a  combination 
'pes  of  assistance  put  together  for 
student  and  is  dependent  on  a 
snt's  class,  residency,  and  her  ac- 
bility  to  federal  and  state  grants  and 
de  scholarships.  The  Agnes  Scott 
on  of  the  aid  package  typically 
des  a  grant,  a  loan,  and  campus 
oyment.  Financial  aid  awards  are 
for  one  year  and  are  renewable  on 
nee  of  continuing  need, 
ants  are  the  nonrepayable  portion 
he  financial  aid  package  and  are 
e  possible  by  special  gifts  and  the 
)wment  income  of  the  College.  Last 
Agnes  Scott  spent  $423,000  in 
ts  and  scholarships  alone,  not  in- 
ing  aid  to  return-to-college  students. 
es  Scott's  low-interest  loans,  on  the 
r  hand,  are  usually  repayable  within 
years  after  the  student  leaves  Agnes 
t,  although  payment  may  be  defer- 
while  the  student  attends  a  graduate 
rofessional  school  full-time.  Interest 
ues  on  these  loans  only  after  the 
ent  graduates  or  withdraws  from 
es  Scott. 


The  employment  portion  of  the  aid 
package  offers  students  on-campus  work 
opportunities.  Each  student  fills  out 
preference  and  skill  sheets  and  is  then 
afforded  the  opportunity  to  work  in 
administrative  offices,  language  and  sci- 
ence laboratories,  the  library,  book 
store,  post  office,  bank,  or  as  assistants 
to  faculty  members.  Freshmen  and 
sophomores  usually  work  five  hours  per 
week,  while  juniors  and  seniors  may 
work  up  to  eight  hours  a  week.  Students 
receive  a  bi-weekly  payroll  check. 

Currently,  Agnes  Scott's  limited  par- 
ticipation in  federal  aid  programs  con- 
sists of  the  Basic  Educational  Opportun- 
ity Grant  and  the  Guaranteed  Student 
Loan  Programs,  both  of  which  are 
affected  by  President  Carter's  signing, 
on  November  I,  of  the  Middle  Income 
Assistance  Act. 

Previously,  the  BEOG  program  was 
known  as  a  program  for  lower-income 
and  lower-middle-income  families.  Stu- 
dents whose  family  incomes  exceeded 
$15,000  were  usually  not  eligible  for  the 
Basic  Grant.  Under  the  new  provisions, 
the  program  will  be  extended  to  cover 
some  students  with  family  incomes  of 
$25,000.  Mrs.  Johnson  indicates  that 
probably  twice  as  many  students  will  be 
eligible  for  BEOG  in  1979-80.  This  year 
about  70  students  receive  these  federal 
grants  which  range  to  $1,600.  For  the 
academic  year  1979-80,  they  will  range  to 
$1,800. 

Under  the  provisions  of  the  Guaran- 
teed Student  Loan  program,  students 
and  their  families  go  to  lenders  in  their 


own  communities  for  funds  to  meet 
college  expenses.  The  maximum  loan  for 
one  year  is  $2,500  and  for  undergraduate 
study  is  $7,500.  In  the  past,  students 
whose  adjusted  family  income  was  over 
$25,000  had  interest  charged  on  their 
loans  while  they  were  in  school.  The  new 
regulations  eliminate  the  income  ceiling 
so  that  all  students  are  eligible  for 
federal  interest  benefits. 

At  a  time  when  a  projected  $12  billion 
will  be  spent  in  financial  aid  during 
1979-80  from  all  national  sources  for 
post-secondary  education,  Mrs.  Johnson 
points  out  the  non-financial  benefits  of 
the  aid  program.  Working  individually 
with  students  on  budgets  and  applica- 
tions for  scholarships  from  other 
sources,  she  emphasizes  the  need  to 
impart  financial  responsibility  and  val- 
ues to  students  and  the  dual  relationship 
between  the  College's  commitment  to  its 
students,  its  stewardship  of  the  mone- 
tary resources  available  for  financial  aid 
and  the  student's  relationship  to  and 
responsibility  in  the  partnership  with  the 
College  in  her  financial  aid. 


CAREER  PLANNING 


Kathleen  K.  Mooned,  Agnes  Scott's 
career  planning  director,  believes  that  a 
student's  major  career-related  decision 
has  already  been  made  when  she  decides 
to  attend  Agnes  Scott  and  become  part 
of  its  small,  liberal  arts,  all-women 
environment.  She  herself  is  a  graduate  of 
Notre  Dame  College  of  St.  John's 
University  in  New  York  and  holds  a 
master's  from  Syracuse  University.  Be- 
fore coming  to  Agnes  Scott,  Mrs. 
Mooney  held  the  position  of  Assistant 
Director  of  Career  Planning  and  Ad- 
ministrator of  the  Summer  Institute  for 
Women  in  Higher  Education  Adminis- 
tration at  Bryn  Mawr  College. 

Mrs.  Mooney  notes  that  Agnes  Scott 
graduates  hold  numerous  types  of  jobs, 
have  outstanding  careers,  and  become 
community  leaders  despite  the  fact  that 
Agnes  Scott  is  not  a  vocational/technical 
school.  Employers  themselves  have  said 
and  written  that  some  of  the  job-related 
skills  needed  in  most  jobs  are  effective 
communications — the  ability  to  write 
clearly  and  speak  well,  interpersonal 
skills,  analytical  ability,  leadership,  in- 
itiative, the  ability  to  listen,  the  ability  to 
work  as  part  of  a  team,  research  skills, 
and  organizational  ability.  For  the  most 
part,  these  are  skills  that  are  developed 


rather  than  learned  from  a  textbook, 
developed  through  studies,  extracurricu- 
lar activities,  summer  and  part-time 
jobs.  Agnes  Scott's  atmosphere  "offers 
and  fosters  the  efforts  of  each  individual 
to  participate  in  formal  activities,  to 
develop  new  activities,  in  which  she  can 
take  a  leadership  role,  organize  a  prog- 
ram, work  with  others  on  committees, 
hold  elected  offices,  and  give  wide  scope 
to  her  creative  talents,"  says  Mrs. 
Mooney. 

When  asked  about  the  value  of  one 
major  over  another  in  terms  of  job 
qualifications,  Kathy  stresses  the  impor- 
tance of  selecting  a  major  that  is  of 
interest  and  provides  enjoyment  for  the 
student.  She  believes  the  aforemen- 
tioned skills  will  be  better  developed  in 
the  study  of  a  subject  of  interest  rather 
than  studying  a  subject  for  "practical" 
reasons. 

However.  Mrs.  Mooney  emphasizes 
the  importance  of  enhancing  one's  emp- 
loyability  upon  graduation.  Describing 
the  office's  aids  to  help  the  student 
augment  her  employability,  Kathy  lists 
the  following  services  of  the  career 
planning  office; 

1)  Individual  counseling  on  career- 
related  interests  for  students  and 
alumnae 

2)  Seminars  and  workshops:  informa- 
tional types  of  programs,  such  as  the 
three-part  series  on  management  in 
the  corporate  world  held  winter 
quarter 

.^)  Experimential  programs:  the  Shadow 
Program,  internships,  cooperative 
education  possibilities 

4)  Self-assessment  aids  and  vocational 
testing 

5)  A  Resource  Room  with  information 
about  traditional  and  non-traditional 
careers,  lifestyles,  the  status  of 
women  in  the  work  world,  occupa- 
tional outlook  and  opportunities  with 
specific  employers,  as  well  as 
graduate  and  professional  school 
catalogues 

6)  Access  to  role  models:  conference 
participants.  Shadow  Program  spon- 
sors, and  in  the  future,  alumnae 
career  advisers 

7)  Job  search  and  job-related  skills:  how 
to  research  a  job.  resume-writing, 
interviewing,  assertiveness  training 

8)  Job  referral  and  credentials  services: 
a  small,  annual  recruiting  schedule, 
referral  of  specific  notices  to  seniors 
and  alumnae  who  list  their  names  and 
interests  with  the  office,  maintaining 
and  sending  out  upon  request  perma- 
nent reference  folders  the  office 
maintains  for  seniors  and  alumnae 

She  also  mentions  the  College's  Busi- 


Rosa  Tinsley.  secretary:  lone  Murphy,  coordinator  of  alumnae  services:  Kathy  Moone 
career  planning  director 


ness  Preparatory  Program,  which  con- 
tains a  selection  of  courses  useful  for 
many  fields  besides  business.  1978-79  is 
the  first  time  the  program  has  been 
offered,  and  advance  registration  last 
spring  indicated  strong  interest  in  the 
new  program. 

Mrs.  Mooney  states  that  career  plan- 
ning should  be  a  four-year  developmen- 
tal process,  which  emphasizes  different 
aspects  of  the  planning  program  for  each 
student,  from  freshman  through  senior 
years.  Kathy  sees  the  program  as  a  way 
to  give  a  student  a  more  evenly  paced 
rate  of  accomplishment  in  achieving  the 
four  elements  she  views  as  necessary  in 
a  job  search:  know  yourself,  know  the 
job  market,  bring  them  together,  and  get 
the  job.  The  progressive  steps  are, 
during  freshman  year,  group  work  to 
identify  where  the  student  stands,  how 
well  she  knows  herself,  what  she  wants 
to  do.  and  how  well  she  knows  the  work 
world.  In  other  words,  freshman  year 
would  be  the  beginning  self-assessment 
aspect  of  the  program.  Sophomore  and 
junior  years  would  be  spent  gathering 
information,  and  the  last  quarter  of  the 
junior  year  would  see  a  re-assessment  of 
self  and  decision  of  the  first  career 
direction  the  student  wants  to  take. 
Senior  year  would  then  be  focused  on 
applying  to  graduate  or  professional 
schools  and/or  job  hunting  by  learning 
the  mechanics  of  "how  to"  in  fall 
quarter    and    actually    job    hunting   by 


winter  quarter. 

Two  major  new  developments  will 
initiated  during  this  spring  quarte 
extern  program  and  the  alumnae  ad- 
ory  network.  Mrs.  Mooney  hopes  to 
the  extern  program  over  spring  bri 
next  year.  A  mailing  to  the  grcE 
Atlanta  area  alumnae  will  ask  if  th 
their  husbands,  or  their  employers 
supervise  a  student  for  a  week  in  or 
to  give  the  student  some  experience  i 
field  in  which  she  is  interested. 

Kathy  also  plans  to  set  up  system 
cally  an  alumnae  advisory  network 
help  students  and  alumnae  on  care 
related  matters,  perhaps  even  to 
point  of  helping  them  into  the  alumn 
own  career  field.  She  will  begin  with 
Atlanta  area  on  this  network  progr 
but  hopes  to  expand  it  to  other  lai 
metropolitan  areas. 

Another  implementation  begun  t 
year  has  been  the  Career  Planni 
Office's  weekly  newsletter  that  is  dist 
buted  campus-wide.  The  double-sid 
legal  sheet  contains  information  abc 
programs,  jobs,  graudate  school  new 
statistics,  and  other  information 
ceived  about  women  and  work. 

The  Career  Planning  Office  is  th 
expanding  and  broadening  its  services 
students  and  alumnae  by  encouragi 
them  towards  activities  and  informati 
that  will  complement  their  acaden 
learning  and  enable  them  to  make 
informed  life/work  decision.

Johnson  joined  the  professional 
in  1977.  Both  nurses  hold  the 
N.  and  M.N.  degrees  as  well  as

cal  supervision  of  certain  health 
lems.  This  preparation  allows  them 
valuate  health  problems  and  to 
ate  treatment  in  keeping  with 
;lines  established  by  Dr.  W.  Hugh 
ell.  Board  Certified  Internist  and 
ical  Director.  Ms.  Kriner  and  Mrs. 
son  consult  and  meet  with  Dr. 
ell  on  a  regular  basis  to  insure  the 
ty  of  evaluation  and  treatment  of 
nt  health  problems. 
le  Student  Health  Center  is  open 
day  through  Friday  from  eight  a.m. 
X  p.m.  The  present  hours  of  opera- 
were  determined  last  year  after 
w  of  statistics  indicated  that  the 
ous  24-hour-a-day.  seven-day-a- 
c  service  was  not  feasible  due  to  the 


sparsity  of  use  during  nights  and 
weekends. 

General  medical,  psychological,  and 
gynecological  services  are  offered 
through  the  Health  Center.  The  latter 
two  services  are  provided  by  consul- 
tants. The  general  medical  services 
include  the  care  of  minor  health  prob- 
lems and  the  referral  of  those  problems 
that  require  the  care  of  a  specialist,  such 
as  dental,  dermatologic,  ophthalmologic. 

Other  important  aspects  of  general 
services  are  health  education  and  screen- 
ing. The  professional  staff  participate  in 
the  orientation  process  of  new  students 
and  conduct  fireside  chats  during  fall 
quarter  to  discuss  adjustments  to  college 
life  that  can  influence  health.  Other 
special  health  programs  are  offered 
throughout  the  school  year  such  as 
breast  self  examination,  blood  pressure 
screening,  gynecologic  seminar,  and,  for 
the  first  time  this  year.  Red  Cross  First 
Aid  and  Cardiopulmonary  Resuscitation 
courses. 

J.  Frank  Clark,  Ph.  D.  is  the  consult- 
ing psychologist.  Student  appointments 
may  be  made  with  him  by  the  Health 
Center  staff  or  students  may  make 
appointments  directly.  Dr.  Clark  sees 
the  student  initially  to  determine 
whether  more  than  one  or  two  counsel- 
ing sessions  will  be  needed. 

The  consulting  gynecologists  are  Dr. 
Malcolm  G.  Freeman  and  Dr.  Benedict 
B.  Benigno  who  alternate  holding  a

al gynecologic  counseling. 

The  residence  fee  charged  all  boarding 
students  covers  the  cost  of  most  services 
offered  by  the  Health  Center  staff.  Dr.

and  prescription  medications  are  not 
included,  nor  are  the  fees  of  specialists 
who  may  be  required  by  students. 
Psychological  evaluation  of  one  to  three 
sessions  is  covered. 

In  response  to  students"  requests  this 
year  and  in  keeping  with  the  current 
concept  of  health  care,  the  professionals 
of  the  Health  Center  developed  a  Hand- 
book of  Health  Information  for  Students 
that  was  distributed  dormitory-wide. 
The  Handbook  contains  a  list  of  minor 
ailments  with  do's  and  don't's  listed  for 
each  problem.  Evaluation  of  the  Hand- 
book by  students  and  the  nurses  indi- 
cates a  need  for  expansion  of  the 
Handbookto  include  listings  of  addition- 
al minor  health  problems.  Ms.  Kriner 
plans  to  develop  an  expanded  version 
this  summer. 

In  academic  year  1977-78  there  were 
1 ,800  student  visits  to  the  Health  Center. 
This  number  included  return  visits, 
referrals,  psychologic  and  gynecologic 
appointments.  Dean  Kirkland,  Ms. 
Kriner,  and  the  entire  professional 
Health  Center  staff  and  consultants 
continue  to  examine  the  services  offered 
and  the  needs  of  the  everchanging 
student  population  in  order  to  support 
efforts  by  the  College  to  provide  mean- 
ingful and  quality  health  care  to  stu- 
dents. 4

A  COURSE  on  "The  Religions  of  Man." 
led  by  Dr.  Kwai  Sing  Chang,  professor 
of  Bible  and  religion,  and  sponsored  by 
the  Atlanta  Club,  drew  more  than  60 
alumnae,  husbands,  and  friends  for  five 
consecutive  Thursday  nights  in  February 
and  March.  Sessions  covered  the  East- 
ern religious  traditions  of  Hinduism. 
Buddhism.  Confucianism,  and  Taoism 
and  included  comparison  with  Christian- 
ity. Every  seat  was  filled  each  week,  and 
Dr.  Chang  was  pleased  to  have  "such  a 
responsive"  class.  Peachtree  Pres- 
byterian Church  hosted  the  group  in  one 
of  its  parlors,  and  Ruby  Rosser  Davis  "43 
was  chairman  of  the  series.  Pictures  of 
Dr.  Chang  and  his  large  alumnae  class 
were  taken  by  Louis  Gerland,  husband 
of  Barbara  Wilber  Gerland  "43.  both  of 
whom  attended  the  class.

With  the  Clubs 


Evening 
(Metropolitan  Atlanta) 

More  than  65  alumnae  and  friends 
gathered  around  a  big  fire  in  Winship 
dormitory  January  13  and  enjoyed  a 
discussion  of  Nancy  Friday's  book.  My 
Mother,  My  Self,  led  by  Dr.  Connie  A. 
Jones,  assistant  professor  of  sociology. 
Hot  coffee  and  doughnuts  welcomed 
participants  as  they  arrived,  and  many  of 
the  group  stayed  on  the  campus  after- 
wards for  lunch  together  in  the  dining 
hall.  Dr.  Jones  shared  her  own  reactions 
to  the  book  and  moderated  the  group 
discussion,  an  exchange  of  ideas  not 
only  on  the  book  but  also  on  the  role  of 
women  in  society  today  and  the  many 
pressures  experienced.  In  February  the 
club  had  an  interesting  update  on  the 
admissions  program  at  the  College  by 
Libby  Dowd  Wood,  groups  coordinator.

President  susan  king  iohnson  '67 
included  in  a  newsy  letter  a  gift  check 
from  the  Shreveport  Club  to  the  College. 
This  group  is  particularly  interested  in 
promoting    Agnes    Scott    to    qualified 


young  women  in  the  area.  "Our  club  is 
small,"  she  wrote.  "The  ages  are  varied, 
and  so  are  our  interests,  but  the  day  we 
meet  for  lunch  is  lively  and  stimulating. 
It  is  no  less  than  one  would  expect  from 
individuals  educated  in  an  academic 
tradition  who  have  continued  to  grow." 
This  year's  Founder's  Day  luncheon  was 
at  Susan's  home  on  February  20.  It  was 
"primarily  social,  with  a  fleeting  busi- 
ness meeting,  and  very  successful!" 
Their  future  plans  look  toward  a  coke 
party  for  high  school  students  interested 
in  hearing  about  Agnes  Scott.  Serving 
with  Susan  as  incoming  officers  are  Sara

Alumnae  Tour  Historic  Southern  Houses 

The  Agnes  Scott  Alumnae  Associa- 
tion, together  with  the  Georgia  Trust 
for  Historic  Preservation,  organized  a 
one-day  study  trip  to  Macon  from 
Decatur  on  April  5.  The  trip  included  a 
visit  to  Betty  Talmadge's  home  in 
Lovejoy,  a  tour  of  the  Hay  House,  and  a 
visit  to  the  Jarrell  Plantation,  near 
Forsyth.  Mrs.  Talmadge.  who  is  secre- 
tary of  the  Georgia  Trust,  guided  the 
group  through  her  home,  where  exam- 
ples of  her  prize-winning  needlework  are 
displayed.  The  Hay  House,  a  national 
historic  landmark  built  between  1855  and 
1860.  represents  the  Italian  Renaissance 
style  of  architecture.  There  the  group  of 
thirty-nine  alumnae  and  friends  plus  a 
group  of  Macon  alumnae  had  lunch  on 
the  grounds.  The  tour's  conclusion,  the 
Jarrell  Plantation,  contrasted  in  its  sim- 
plicity of  architecture  and  setting  to  the 
two  earlier  sites  and  rounded  out  the 
group's  study  tour.

Solly  Veole  Daniel  '52:  Mother,  Model,  Minister 


By  Joann  Hathiuvax  Mcrriman  '58 


Reprinted  with  the  author's  per- 
mission from  the  New  Haven 
Register,  January  9.  1979. 

The  fine  blue  eyes,  dramatized 
with  nearly-theatrical  makeup, 
steadily  regard  the  century-old 
Bible  that  belonged  to  a  Method- 
ist-minister great-grandfather. 
"Here's  Jesus'  mission  and  my 
hope,  in  Luke  four."  says  The 
Rev.  Sally  V.  Daniel,  newly  or- 
dained in  the  family  faith  and,  at 
47.  after  15  years  as  a  profession- 
al model  and  fashion  coordinator, 
starting  a  second  career  in  the 
clergy. 

She  searches  out  verse  18: 
"God  has  sent  me  to  .  .  .  proclaim 
release  to  the  captives,  and  recov- 
ering of  sight  to  the  blind,  to  set  at 
liberty  them  that  are  bruised." 
Calling  herself  a  "liberation 
theologian,"  Ms.  Daniel  explains 
that  she  always  refers  to  God  in 
non-sexist  terms,  not  limiting  the 
concept  to  maleness  by  calling 
God  "Him."  "God  is  both  male 
and  female.  Mother  and  Father.  A 
woman  in  the  pulpit  makes  a 
profound  statement  about  the  na- 
ture of  God." 

A  1952  honors  graduate  of 
Agnes  Scott  College.  Decatur. 
Ga.  (where  she  was  elected  to  Phi 
Beta  Kappa).  Ms.  Daniel  lives  in 
Atlanta  with  her  husband  of  26 
years,  attorney  T.  Emory  Daniel, 
Jr.  They  recently  visited  her  par- 
ents, Mr.  and  Mrs.  William  H. 
Veale  of  295  West  Rock  Ave.,  to 
celebrate  both  Christmas  and  the 
Veales'  50th  wedding  anniver- 
sary. The  couple's  four  married 
children  and  families  came  home 
from  two  continents.  Their  roots 
here  go  deep.  Mrs.  Veale's 
forebears,  the  Beaches,  settled  in 
New  Haven  in  1638. 

Ms.  Daniel  was  once  a  fulltime 
wife  and  mother  of  three,  active 
in  the  church  and  in  such  large- 
scale  community  endeavor  as 
heading  up  the  DeKalb  County 
United  Way  Appeal.  "Fifteen 
years  ago,"  she  recalls,  "I  was 
fulfilling  all  that  was  expected  of 
me  and  my  contemporaries.  I 
worked  hard,  both  inside  and 
outside  the  home,  but  I  wasn't 
getting  paid. 

This  gradually  changed,  start- 
ing one  evening  when  her  hus- 
band returned  from  a  political 
rally  which,  as  vice-president 
(later  president)  for  the  nonparti- 
san League  of  Women  Voters, 
she  didn't  attend.  He  had  won  a 
door  prize,  a  modeling  course. 
"He    thought    I'd    enjoy    it," 


smiles  Ms.  Daniel,  who  stands  six 
feet  tall  in  heels.  "I  surely  did.  It 
led  to  a  position  as  model  at  a 
large  Atlanta  department  store." 
Freelance  fashion  modeling  fol- 
lowed. Soon  Ms.  Daniel  was  busy 
showing  new  styles  during  lunch- 
times  at  hotels  in  the  city,  as  an 
independent  show  manager.  Later 
she  taught  at  the  Atlanta  branch 
of  a  national  modeling  school. 

In  1971  she  became  fashion 
coordinator  for  Sears  in  down- 
town Atlanta.  She  was  responsi- 
ble for  fashion  shows  held  in  the 
store  and  at  outside  locations,  and 
also  traveled  in  the  metropolitan 
area  to  update  audiences  with 
style  shows  and  slide-illustrated 
lectures.  In  addition,  Ms.  Daniel 
instructed  "Discovery"  classes,  a 
ten-week  course  for  young  people 
ages  9-17  on  health,  fashion, 
makeup,  modeling,  and  exercise. 
As  part  of  the  physical  education 
curriculum  at  area  schools,  she 
spoke  to  children  on  good  groom- 
ing. Last  summer  she  resigned 
after  her  ordination,  having  talked 
to  an  estimated  50,000  children 
and  taught  over  3.500  students. 

"Serving  in  this  way  was  very 
important  to  me,"  Ms.  Daniel 
observes.  "Many  students  had 
low  self-images  when  they  en- 
rolled in  the  Discovery  course. 
Some  were  actually  about  to  drop 
out  of  high  school.  The  instruc- 
tion improved  their  self- 
confidence  to  the  point  where 
several  decided  not  only  to  finish 
secondary  studies  but  also  to 
work  their  way  through  college. 

In  the  midst  of  working  this 
long-range  magic  on  Southern 
youth,  Ms.  Daniel  had  a  second 
turning  point.  She  attended  a  1975 
summer  program.  "The  New 
Role  of  Women  in  the  Church." 
offered  by  Candler  Theological 
Seminary  at  nearby  Emory  Uni- 
versity. "It  changed  my  outlook 
completely."  the  former  New 
Havener  remembers.  "When  it 
concluded,  I  knew  I  wanted  to  be 
part  of  the  church  in  a  radically 
new  way.  I  struggled  with  myself; 
1  knew  going  to  seminary  plus  my 
job  would  be  very  difficult,  but  I 
also  knew  the  ministry  was  where 
I  belonged.  Fortunately  my  hus- 
band has  been  totally  sup- 
portive." 

There  were  problems.  "I  had 
had  paid  help  two  and  a  half  days 
a  week  for  some  years,  but  the 
maid  had  to  leave  us.  I  felt  it  was 
my  duty  to  do  the  whole  thing 
myself — clean  house,  hot  meals, 
fresh    laundry,    family    needs 


tended  to — besides  bringing  home 
a  paycheck.  Finally  it  got  to  be 
too  much.  I  was  getting  worn  to  a 
frazzle." 

"One  day  I  just  told  the  family 
that  I'd  taken  care  of  the  house 
for  20  years,  and  now  it  was  my 
turn  to  'do  my  thing.'  Everybody 
would  have  to  pitch  in.  I  felt  very 
revolutionary  at  that  time 
speaking  out  as  I  did,  but  I'd  been 
growing  and  changing  too.  The 
growth  was  very  painful  for  us 
both.  Things  were  difficult  for 
about  four  years." 

"Gradually  Emory  has  become 
a  real  feminist:  an  ardent  support- 
er of  women's  economic,  social, 
and  political  equality.  He's  a  far 
better  cook  than  I  am — and  he 
shops  for  groceries,  too.  Every- 
body does  a  share.  We  call  it  an 
equal  employment  opportunity 
household,'  though  that's  not  an 
original  phrase.  One  result  is  that 
we  all  have  new  feelings  of 
accomplishment  and  a  new  unity 
we  never  expected." 

Ms.  Daniel  notes  happily. 
"We're  both  sure  of  ourselves 
now.  and  I'm  glad  we've  both 
become  liberated,  in  a  sense, 
within  our  marriage.  I  never  had 
to  make  the  choice  some  women 
are  faced  with  when  their  hus- 
bands can't  adapt  or  grow:  either 
stifle  your  career  needs  or  get  out 
there  and  hack  it  on  your  own." 

She  and  her  husband,  she  adds 
"are  working  on  our  'third  mar- 
riage.' Some  couples  do  this  se- 
quentially, with  different  people. 
We're  doing  it  with  each  other, 
and  we're  together  because  we 
choose  to  be.  I  can't  imagine  life 
without  him." 

Ms.  Daniel  feels  that  all  her 
past  volunteer  work,  all  her  teach- 
ing and  encouragement  of  young 
people,  had  prepared  her  for 
service  in  the  church. 

"I'm  mellowing,"  she  com- 
ments, pointing  up  the  growth  and 
inner  struggle  that  still  periodical- 
ly overtake  her.  Despite  her  ele- 
gant exterior,  she  is  closely  in 
touch  with  her  own  humanity. 
Often  she  is  in  physical  pain  from 
old  injuries  to  back  and  knee,  and 
must  swim  for  exercise  rather 
than  jog  or  play  tennis. 

She  acknowledges  the  jagged 
upward  spiral  of  a  faith  often 
tested.  "Periods  of  anguish  about 
faith  and  life  are  standard  and 
suitable,"  Ms.  Daniel  says.  "An 
advantage  to  starting  seminary  as 
an  older  person  is  that  I've  al- 
ready worked  through  the  hor- 
rendous self-doubt,  the  "why  am  I 


here?'  questioning  that  someti 
causes  seminarians  to  drop 
for  a  year  to  resolve.  I  won't 
any  time." 

On  the  other  hand,  she  ha

New  Playwright  Mokes  Mark 


Marsha  Williams  Norman 
Byck  '69  was  an  unknown  playw- 
right one  and  a  half  years  ago. 
Today,  she  has  a  track  record. 
Broadway  producers  know  her 
name.  So  do  a  lot  of  Hollywood 
movie  and  television  producers. 

The  reason  for  the  fame  and 
publicity  is  Miss  Norman's  first 
play.  Getting  Out.  Getting  Out 
was  produced  at  Actors  Theatre 
of  Louisville  in  November  1977 
during  ATL's  first  Festival  of 
New  American  Plays  where  it 
won  ATL's  1977  Great  American 
Play  Contest.  Miss  Norman's 
story  about  a  woman  felon's  first 
day  of  parole  freedom  was  recent- 
ly picked  by  the  American  Thea- 
ter Critics  Association  as  the 
"Best  New  Play  in  a  Regional 
Theatre  for  1977/78."  It  is  to  be 
included  in  The  Best  Plays  of 
1977-78,  the  next  edition  of  the 
craft's  annual  reference  manual. 
The  play  has  also  been  named 
runner-up  for  the  first  Susan 
Smith  Blackburn  Prize,  a  literary 
prize  that  goes  to  an  outstanding 
English-language  play  written  by 
a  woman. 

Miss  Norman's  play-writing  tal- 
ents were  encouraged  by  ATL's 
director/producer  Jon  Jory.  Jory 
had  been  intrigued  by  her  work  in 
the  Jefferson  County  school's 
special  arts  project  and  the  week- 
ly "Jelly  Bean  Journal"  she  wrote 
for  the  Louisville  Times.  He  urged 


her  to  write  something  for  ATL's 
first  playwright's  contest.  Jory 
encouraged  her  to  search  back  in 
her  experience  to  some  painful 
period  and  to  write  a  play  about 
that  time.  She  focused  on  her  first 
post-school  assignment,  a  two- 
year  stint  at  the  Kentucky  Central 
State  Hospital  with  emotionally 
disturbed  children.  Instead  of 
doing  a  play  just  about  that 
situation.  Miss  Norman  decided 
to  explore  what  happend  to  such 
adolescents  later  on  and  concen- 
trated on  a  person's  release  from 
an  institution,  in  her  play's  case,  a 
prison.  She  notes  that  getting  out 
and  being  out  are  as  big  a  dilemma 
as  the  imprisonment  was,  and  she 
sees  Getting  Out  as  the  represen- 
tation of  release  from  prisons  of 
all  kinds. 

Thus  resulted  Miss  Norman's 
drama  about  Arlene,  a  convicted 
murderer  who  has  just  been  re- 
leased after  several  years  in  pris- 
on. There  are  two  Arlenes  in  the 
play,  and  both  are  frequently  on 
stage  together.  One  is  the  current 
Arlene  who  faces  both  the  shock 
and  fears  of  her  new  freedom  and 
the  memory  of  the  events  that 
turned  her  into  a  terribly  dis- 
turbed problem  child  with  an 
early  criminal  record.  The  other 
Arlene  is  Arlie  as  a  child  and 
teenager  suffering  from  parental 
neglect,  various  forms  of  deli- 
quency,  and  the  inefficiency  of

Paige  Lucas  at  Salmon  Lake  the  day  she  shot  the  fox 


Alaska  Lures  Alumna 

By  Judy  Hamilton  Grubbs  '73 


"Greetings  From  Nome!" 
writes  Mary  Paige  Lucas  "73.  Last 
fall  Mary  Paige  accepted  a  posi- 
tion teaching  children  with  learn- 
ing disabilities  at  Nome  (Alaska) 
Elementary  School.  The  move 
has  brought  both  professional  and 
personal  adventures. 

A  city  of  2.500  on  the  Bering 
Sea,  Nome  still  has  the  appear- 
ance and  open  atmosphere  of  the 
old  west  gold  rush  town  it  once 
was — "the  only  place  in  the  world 
where  you  can  walk  down  the 
street  and  breathe  gold  dust." 
Walking  is,  in  fact,  Mary  Paige's 
primary  means  of  transportation, 
to  which  she  credits  great  im- 
provement in  her  figure.  Her 
Alaskan  diet  may  also  have 
helped.  She  describes  eating 
blueberries  and  cranberries  pick- 
ed while  camping  on  the  perma- 
frost, locally  caught  crab  and 
salmon,  and  reindeer  meat.  She 
plucks,  cleans,  and  cooks  ptar- 
migan, a  quail-like  bird  hunted  in 
the  area,  and  has  even  shot  and 
skinned  a  red  fox.  Hunting,  she 
explains,  is  necessary  for  Alas- 
kans and  is  not  considered  sport. 


Her  most  exotic  culinary  effort  so 
far  is  "the  creme  de  la  creme  of 
moose""  —  moose  heart  — 
delicious,  she  says,  with  wild  rice 
stuffing.  The  high  cost  and  poor 
selection  of  groceries  in  Nome 
has  also  prompted  Mary  Paige  to 
bake  her  own  bread  and  order  a 
year"s  supply  of  non-perishables 
from  Seattle. 

Teaching  in  Alaska  also  pro- 
vides new  and  exciting  experi- 
ences. Three-quarters  of  the  380 
students  of  Nome  Elementary 
School  are  Eskimo,  and  Mary 
Paige  says  the  cultural  differences 
are  amazing.  "Eskimo  people  are 
not  aggressive  or  competitive — 
they  are  mellow  and  loving.  We 
have  almost  no  behavior  prob- 
lems, so  teaching  is  very  pleasant 
in  that  way.  .  .  .  And  they're 
above  grade  level,  for  the  most 
part.""  The  creative  and  energetic 
faculty  participates  in  many  team- 
teaching  activities  in  the  open 
space  school,  which  is  '"equipped 
with  everything  known  to  man  to 
teach  with,  including  a  big  gym, 
home  ec.  department,  bilingual- 
bicultural  department,  and  color 


videotaping  studio." 

In  her  time  away  from  school, 
Mary  Paige  is  compiling  quite  a 
list  of  Alaskan  activities — dogsled 
and  snowmobile  riding,  ice  fishing 
for  crab,  cross-country  skiing  and 
backpacking,  and  even  gold  pan- 
ning. She  finds  the  native  culture 
fascinating,  with  skin  sewing, 
whaling,  hunting,  and  ivory  carv- 
ing still  a  way  of  life  for  the 
Eskimo  people,  and  she  is  learn- 
ing the  Eskimo  language,  Inupiaq, 
which  has  three  dialects.  The 
energy  and  openness  of  the  peo- 
ple are  also  factors  in  her  growing 
love  of  Alaska. 

In  December  Mary  Paige  re- 
ported that  Nome  was  down  to 
four  hours  of  daylight  and  temp- 
eratures of  13  degrees  below  zero, 
with  30  below  chill  factor.  There- 
fore even  the  hardiest  of  adven- 
turers, as  Mary  Paige  is  surely 
proving  to  be,  may  be  forgiven  a 
respite:  after  three  days  at 
Alyeska  ski  resort  at  Christmas, 
her  holidays  were  completed  with 
eight  days  in  the  warmth  and 
sunshine  of  Hawaii.  ▲

IN  MEMORIAM 


By  Cissie  Spiro  Aidinoff  '5/ 
■President,  Alumnae  Association 


writing  this  column  on  the  New 

bound  Metroliner.  I  have  just  left 
hington,  D.C.,  after  a  most  exciting 

on  the  lawn  of  the  White  House, 
ta  Moll  Dewald  "50  and  I  were 
ts  at  the  ceremony  which  my  en- 
;d  invitation  said  was  "In  Celebra- 
of  the  Issuance  of  the  Susan  B. 
ony  Dollar  Coin." 
etta  introduced  me  to  the  First  Lady 
said  that  she  and  I  have  been  friends 
;  our  days  together  at  Agnes  Scott. 

Carter  said  some  lovely  things 
t  our  school,  and  I  said  that  it  was 

to  hear  someone  in  the  North  speak 
ighly  of  Agnes  Scott.  I  then  e,x- 
ed  that  most  people  up  here  haven't 

heard  of  Agnes  Scott.  "Well," 
ted  Mrs.  Carter  quickly  and  firmly 
cing  her  reputation  as  a  direct, 
onsense  lady,  "if  they  haven't  heard 
gnes  Scott,  it's  their  lossi" 
nust  confess  that  after  a  year  as 
dent  of  your  Alumnae  Association, 
ee  completely  with  the  First  Lady.  I 

been  on  campus  four  times  this 

I  have  talked  to  faculty,  members 
he    administration,    students,    and 

trustees  than  I  talked  to  during  my 

four  years  at  the  College.  I  went  to 

s,  and  I  talked  with  students  in 
rooms  and  in  the  dining  hall.  I  made 
;ffort  to  hear  what  people  were 
ig  about  their  lives  at  Agnes  Scott 
:o  see  if  students  were  understand- 
he  faculty.  I  was  also  curious  to 
'  if  the  administration  was  sensitive 
)th  student  and  faculty  opinions.  I 
ed  to  know  if  intellectual  activity  of 
h  order  was  still  the  main  theme  of 
pone's  life, 
vant  to  report  to  you  that  Agnes 

is  alive  and  well  and  living  in 
tur!  Each  time  I  leave  the  campus  I 
:  away  with  the  feeling  that  I  have 

in  an  enlightened  and  strong 
smic  community.  There  is  an  integ- 
on  all  levels,  and  faculty  and 
nts  seem  to  be  thinking  about  the 
ectual  issues  of  the  day.  Fortunate- 
ome  students  still  complain  about 
"excessive"  work  loads;  but  if  they 
t,  I  might  think  the  faculty  were 
ring  its  standards.  But  not  at  all! 
t  worry!  Academic  life  is  still  not 
at  Agnes  Scott.  But,  oh,  it  is  worth 
ffort  and  the  pain.  How  well  I  now 

what  an  Agnes  Scott  education 
,'  means.  And  Mrs.  Carter  is  right — 
hose  who  don't  know,  it's  clearly 
loss.A 


Florence  E.  Smith 


1895-1979 


By  Philip  Davidson 
Professor  of  History,  1928-1942 


The  news  of  Florence  Smith's  death 
and  of  her  generous  bequest  to  the 
College  brought  back  to  me,  after  my 
immediate  sadness  at  the  loss  of  an  old 
friend  and  colleague,  a  flood  of  happy 
memories  of  her  and  of  the  Agnes  Scott 
of  the  1930s. 

In  spite  of  the  Depression  and  the 
boiling  up  of  events  which  led  to  World 
War  II,  those  were  lovely  years.  The 
ideals  of  the  College  were  simple  and 
clear — devotion  to  liberal  learning,  deep 
religious  conviction  in  the  leadership  of 
the  institution,  and  dedication  to  an 
educated  womanhood. 

It  was  a  time  of  some  of  the  most 
vigorous  and  capable  teaching  I  have 
ever  known  on  a  college  campus.  There 
was  an  intellectual  verve  in  the  faculty 
and  student  body  and  a  sense  of  high 
moral  purpose  that  is  very  rare  and  very 
precious. 

Florence  Smith  had  a  vital  part  in 
achieving  that  quality  of  life  on  the 
campus,  for  she  embodied  in  her  own 
life  and  teaching  the  ideals  of  the 
College. 

A  graduate  of  Westhampton  College, 
the  woman's  college  of  the  University  of 


Richmond,  Florence  received  the  M.A. 
and  Ph.D.  degrees  from  the  University 
of  Chicago.  She  joined  the  Agnes  Scott 
faculty  in  1927  and  retired  in  1965  as 
associate  professor  of  history,  emerita. 
While  at  Agnes  Scott  she  was  active  in 
the  Phi  Beta  Kappa  chapter  and  in 
faculty  committee  work. 

Florence  was  one  of  the  neatest  and 
most  organized  persons  I  have  ever 
known.  Her  hair  never  fell  down,  her 
shirt  waist  never  pulled  loose  from  her 
skirt,  never  a  pin  was  out  of  place.  Her 
teaching  was  the  same  way,  perfectly 
organized,  systematic,  and  she  and 
every  student  in  the  class  knew  exactly 
what  they  were  doing  and  where  they 
were  going.  Occasionally  she  would 
have  to  miss  a  class,  but  she  never  liked 
me  to  take  it,  because  she  said  I 
disorganized  the  students. 

Florence  was  a  beautiful  musician  and 
loved  to  chaperone  students  to  concerts 
in  Atlanta,  riding  the  Decatur  street  car 
all  the  way  to  town  for  a  nickel.  During 
the  early  years  of  the  Atlanta  Sym- 
phony, Florence  was  one  of  its  violin- 
ists. She  was  also  a  pianist  and  an 
organist. 

She  was  a  very  private  person  and 
kept  her  personal  life  separate  from  the 
College,  but  her  influence  as  a  teacher 
and  counselor  was  very  strong,  and 
students  flocked  to  "Miss  History 
Smith's"  classes  and  office.  Her  life- 
long scholarliness  and  kindness  con- 
tributed much  to  the  life  of  Agnes  Scott. 

Those  of  us  who  knew  the  earlier 
years  of  the  College  have  followed  it 
with  affection  and  pride.  In  spite  of  the 
enormous  changes  in  society  and  the 
great  financial  pressures  that  make  every 
college  president's  life  a  burden,  the 
College  has  been  true  to  its  ideals. 
Whenever  Mrs.  Davidson  and  I  attend 
an  alumnae  gathering  here  in  Nashville, 
we  come  away  with  a  glow  of  apprecia- 
tion for  the  continued  strength  and 
influence  of  Agnes  Scott  College.  Flor- 
ence Smith's  contribution  to  that  influ- 
ence will  long  be  remembered  with 
gratitude.  A

The  Department  of  Histc 


By 


In    1584    Queen    Elizabeth    I  calls   Parlia- 
ment to  session. 


The  decade  of  the  seventies  has  been  a 
time  of  growth  and  change  for  the 
Department  of  History  and  Political 
Science.  There  have  been  personnel  and 
curriculum  changes  of  course,  but  in 
addition,  new  programs  have  been  de- 
vised and  entirely  new  kinds  of  experi- 
ences have  been  made  available  to  our 
students. 

The  Department  of  History  and  Polit- 
ical Science  is  one  of  only  three  surviv- 
ing "double  departments"  at  Agnes 
Scott.  The  marriage  of  the  two  disci- 
plines is  rather  an  eccentric  inheritance 
from  the  past,  but  we  manage  to  survive 
in  amicable,  if  unnatural,  harmony.  A 
notable  development  of  recent  years,  at 
Agnes  Scott  and  elsewhere,  has  been  the 
rapid  increase  of  student  interest  in  the 
social  sciences.  Psychology,  sociology, 
and  economics  have  grown  by  leaps  and 
bounds.  Political  science  has  partici- 
pated fully  in  this  development  and  now 
at  the  beginning  of  the  eighties,  appears 
to  be  ready  to  declare  its  independence 
and  seek  the  status  of  a  department  in  its 
own  right.  But  for  the  time  being  we  are 
joined  as  one,  and  this  report  will 
attempt  to  summarize  developments  in 
both  areas,  looking  first  at  history. 

Ten  years  ago,  as  the  seventies  began, 
the  department  had  undergone  a  pretty 
thorough  "changing  of  the  guard."  Miss 
Florence  Smith  had  retired;  Koenraad 
Swart  had  left  to  assume  the  chair  of 
Dutch  history  at  University  College, 
London;  William  Cornelius  had  moved 
west  to  take  up  his  new  duties  as 
chairman  of  the  Department  of  Political 
Science  at  Southern  Oregon  University 
in  Ashland.  And  then,  in  1970,  Walter 
Posey  retired  after  a  long  and  distin- 
guished tenure  as  chairman  of  the 
department. 

But  amid  all  these  resignations  and 
retirements  there  were  comings  as  well 
as  goings.  In  1965,  Penelope  Campbell 
(Ph.D.  Ohio  State  University)  joined  the 
faculty.  Her  appointment  was  made 
possible  by  an  exciting  grant  to  the 
department  by  the  Campbell  Foundation 
(no  relation!)  who  were  keen  to  help  us 
expand  our  curriculum  beyond  the  tradi- 
tional fields  of  American  and  European 
history.  Miss  Campbell  has  added  a  new 


dimension  to  our  offerings  with 
courses  in  the  history  of  Africa 
Southeast  Asia.  Also  in  1965  c;

He  is  a  Danforth  Fellow  and  in  1972 1 
elected  a  Fellow  of  the  Royal  Histor 
Society.  Mr.  Brown  assumed  the  ch 
manship  of  the  department  upon 
Posey's  retirement.  Geraldine  Mere 
(Ph.D.  University  of  Oregon)  joined 
faculty  in  1966.  Her  doctoral  studies 
been  concentrated  on  early  medi( 
history,  but  she  had  more  recei

interests  in  colonial  America  and  mod 
Europe.  At  Agnes  Scott  her  teachin

;al)  history  of  a  particular  period. 

are  more  courses  in  intellectual 

now  and  a  number  of  "topics" 

£s    whose   content   changes   from 

to  year.  This  concept  offers  stu- 

a  wider  variety  of  courses  and  it 
ermits  professors  to  teach  subjects 
ich  they  are  especially  interested. 

recent  topics  have  been:  "The 
lutionary  Generation  .  .  .  Biog- 
of  the  Revolutionary  Leaders 
he  Founders  of  the  [American] 
blic;"    "Western    Contacts    with 

in  the  Ninetenth  and  Twentieth 
ries;"  "Black  Americans  Signifi- 
n  the  Political  and  Social  Life  of 
ation,"  and  "Women  in  American 

■y-" 


An  especially  exciting  curriculum  in- 
novation was  the  inauguration  in  1970  of 
our  course  of  summer  study  abroad. 
Called  "Social  History  of  Tudor  and 
Stuart  England."  it  has  been  offered 
three  times  and  will  be  given  again  next 
summer.  The  program  is  led  by  Mr. 
Brown  and  entails  six  weeks  of  travel 
and  study  in  England  and  Scotland. 
Approximately  two  weeks  are  spent  in 
London,  then  a  week  each  in  Exeter, 
Oxford,  York,  and  Edinburgh.  Accom- 
modations are  in  a  hotel  in  London  and 
at  the  university  in  each  of  the  other 
cities.  Typically,  there  is  a  lecture  in  the 
morning  followed  by  a  visit  to  some 
historical  site  that  is  associated  with  the 
subject  of  the  lecture  in  the  afternoon.  A 
lecture  on  the  Elizabethan  court  system 
was  given  in  the  Great  Hall  at  Lincoln's 
Inn:  "Education  in  Shakespeare's  Eng- 
land" was  discussed  among  the  medieval 
splendors  of  All  Souls  College,  Oxford; 
the  seventeenth  century  parliament  was 
the  subject  of  a  lecture  delivered  in  a 
committee  room  in  the  Palace  of  West- 
minster. Each  year,  some  of  the  lectures 
are  given  by  distinguished  British  his- 
torians. 

Another  notable  development  has 
been  the  increase  in  the  number  of 
students  who  choose  to  take  their  junior 
year  abroad.  This  option  has  been 
available  to  Agnes  Scott  students  for 
some  time,  but  in  the  seventies  the 
number  of  history  majors  electing  this 
option  has  grown  very  substantially.  St. 
Andrews  University,  the  University  of 
Exeter,  and  the  University  of  East 
Anglia  have  been  the  most  popular 
destinations  for  our  junior  year  abroad 
students  who  seem  never  to  fail  to 
benefit  from  the  experience  of  living  and 
learning  in  another  land.  A  direct  benefit 
to  the  College  derives  from  the  new 
perspectives  they  develop  and,  upon 
their  return,  bring  into  their  classes  at 
Agnes  Scott. 

Anyone  who  watches  trends  in  Ameri- 
can higher  education  will  know  that  a 
key  word  in  the  seventies  has  been 
'  "internships"— educational  experiences 
beyond  the  classroom.  The  utilization  of 
internships  has  been  very  pronounced  in 
political  science,  but  they  are  beginning

(continued) 


to  register  a  modest  impact  upon  history, 
too.  During  the  last  year  or  two,  we  have 
been  pleased  to  observe  an  increasing 
interest  among  some  of  our  students  in 
historic  preservation.  Working  through 
the  Governor's  Intern  Program,  we  have 
been  able  to  place  two  students  in 
positions  where  they  have  had  an  oppor- 
tunity to  test  and  develop  their  interest  in 
this  activity.  Last  year  a  junior  history 
major,  working  under  the  supervision  of 
an  architectural  historian,  prepared 
nominations  for  the  National  Register  of 
Historic  Buildings.  Her  work  was  car- 
ried on  in  the  Historic  Preservation 
section  of  the  Department  of  Natural 
Resources.  This  summer,  another  his- 
tory major  will  be  working  with  the 
Georgia  Trust  for  Historic  Preservation, 
developing  an  annotated  bibliography  of 
resource  materials  in  the  field.  Much  of 
her  time  will  be  spent  working  in  the 
state  archives. 

History  lies  very  close  to  the  heart  of 
the  liberal  arts  curriculum.  In  addition  to 
providing  an  intellectual  e.xperience  that 
is  significant  in  itself,  the  study  of 
history  requires  careful  and  critical 
reading,  the  collection,  arrangement, 
and  presentation  of  factual  information 
and  documented  opinion.  It  provides  a 
framework  that  gives  coherence  to  other 
studies.  It  suggests  the  setting  in  which 
men  and  events  encountered  in  other 
disciplines  can  be  considered.  Less 
tangibly,  history  helps  widen  mental 
horizons  by  attacking  the  "chronological 
provincialism"  that  seems  particularly  to 
afflict  the  young.  Rightly  considered,  it 
is  the  record  of  all  human  activity,  not 
just  political  ("battles  and  wars")  but 
religious,  philosophical,  social,  artistic, 
and  economic  as  well.  No  discipline  has 
broader  concerns.  It  is  our  task,  and  our 
privilege,  to  help  our  students  know  and 
appreciate  their  own  heritage  and  the 
heritage  of  at  least  some  of  the  other 
peoples  with  whom  they  share  this 
shrinking  globe. 

The  values  that  underlie  the  study  of 
history  are  enduring.  Interpretation,  em- 
phasis, and  insight  change,  but  the  stuff 
of  history  is  set  in  the  immutable  past. 
Political  science  is  oriented  more  to- 
wards the  present.  The  language  of 
politics  is  ever-changing.  Recently  it  has 
expanded  to  include  such  terms  as 
"ecology,"  "ERA,"  "Sunbelt  and 
Snowbelt,"  "SALT,"  and  "reverse  dis- 
crimination." All  these  terms  represent 
new    public    issues    that    involve    the 


selection  of  alternative  values,  goals, 
and  means.  None  of  us  can  escape  the 
implications  of  political  decisions.  But 
while  the  form  of  issues  and  the  methods 
of  study  may  change,  the  substance  of 
politics  has  had  remarkable  continuity. 

The  political  science  program  has 
three  fundamental  objectives:  first,  to 
provide  students  with  solid  grounding  in 
the  enduring  questions  of  politics  such  as 
those  relating  to  the  distribution  of 
power  in  society;  second,  to  equip 
students  with  the  tools  and  methods  of 
systematic  political  analysis;  and  third, 
to  provide  an  awareness  of  the  value 
basis  of  political  choices. 

Two  full-time  faculty  members  offer 
courses  in  a  variety  of  sub-fields  of 
political  science.  Gus  B.  Cochran  earned 
his  B.A.  degree  at  Davidson  College 
where  he  was  a  Woodrow  Wilson  Fellow 
and  was  elected  to  membership  in  Phi 
Beta  Kappa.  He  earned  his  M.A.  at  the 
University  of  Indiana  and  his  Ph.D.  at 
the  University  of  North  Carolina.  Mr. 
Cochran  teaches  American  politics  and 
political  theory.  His  research  interests 
(which  will  be  pursued  in  a  sabbatical 
leave  in  1979-80)  center  upon  democratic 
theory  and  decentralization.  He  has 
published  articles  in  Phylon  and  South 
Atlantic  Urban  Studies  and  contributed 
an  article  to  a  collection  called  Politics 
and  Policy  in  North  Carolina.  Steven  A. 
Haworth  earned  his  B.A.  degree  at  Yale 
and  his  M.A.  at  the  School  of  Public  and 
International  Affairs  at  George  Washing- 
Ion  LIniversity.  He  did  special  work  at 
the  Inter-University  Consortium  for 
Political  Research  at  the  University  of 
Michigan  and  earned  his  Ph.D.  at  the 
University  of  Virginia.  Mr.  Haworth 
teaches  international  relations  and  com- 
parative politics.  His  chief  research 
interests  are  concerned  with  develop- 
ment, growth,  and  environmental  re- 
straints. 

In  addition  to  the  work  offered  in  the 
traditional  fields  of  political  science, 
new  courses  have  been  added  in  recent 
years.  "Environment  and  Politics"  ex- 
amines major  environmental  issues  such 
as  the  management  of  air  and  water 
resources,  land  use  planning,  and  pat- 
terns of  energy  consumption.  Students 
in  this  course  go  on  field  trips  and  attend 
lectures  given  by  visiting  experts.  A 
seminar  on  "Marx  and  the  Varieties  of 
Socialism"  is  taught  jointly  by  Mr. 
Cochran  and  Mr.  Richard  Parry  of  the 
philosophy  department.   A  new  senior

seminar,  led  by  Mr.  Cochran  and 
Haworth,  will  examine  each  year  a 
chosen  in  consultation  with  rising  s 
majors.  The  close  relationship  bet 
political  and  economic  issues  has 
recognized  by  the  inclusion  in 
political  science  curriculum  of  couri 
international  economics  and  publ 
nance  which  are  offered  by  the  De 
ment  of  Economics. 

This  year,  we  introduced  a  one

ican  University  which  permits  stu- 

to  live  in  Washington  for  about 
months  and  to  study  and  observe 


the  federal  government  in  action.  Here, 
too,  students  are  involved  in  actual  work 
experience;  they  also  attend  seminars, 
hear  lectures  by  prominent  federal  offi- 
cials, and  carry  on  a  major  research 
project.  The  Washington  Semester  of- 
fers programs  in  American  government, 
foreign  policy,  and  international  de- 
velopment. Two  years  ago.  Agnes  Scott 
became  associated  with  the  Governor's 
Intern  Program  which  places  students  in 
the  executive  branch  of  state  govern- 
ment, state  and  local  agencies,  the 
legislature,  or  public  and  private  non- 
profit organizations.  All  participants  re- 
ceive academic  credit  for  their  work,  but 
the  amount  of  credit,  and  all  matters 
pertaining  to  it,  is  left  to  the  discretion  of 
each  student's  home  college  or  univer- 
sity. 

In  addition  to  these  established  pro- 
grams, a  student  may  design  her  own 
internship  in  consultation  with  a  faculty 
advisor.  In  the  past,  programs  of  this 
type  have  included  working  in  a  congres- 
sional office,  with  legal  services,  and 
with  the  DeKalb  County  Commission. 

Internships  have  added  great  diversity 
to  our  curriculum.  But  we  realize  that  we 
must  be  selective  in  their  use  and  that 
they  must  be  kept  in  appropriate  rela- 
tionship to  the  purely  academic  aspects 
of  a  student's  program.  All  internships 
have  to  receive  the  approval  of  the 
department   and  of  the  College's  cur- 


riculum committee  before  any  academic 
credit  can  be  awarded.  In  addition  to  the 
demands  of  her  work  experience,  an 
Agnes  Scott  student  will  frequently  be 
required  to  do  related  academic  work — 
readings  from  a  specially  prepared  bib- 
liography, writing  a  paper,  keeping  a 
daily  journal  of  her  activities,  writing  a 
retrospective  evaluation  of  her  experi- 
ence and  relating  it  to  political  theories 
learned  in  the  classroom.  The  purpose  of 
the  internship  is  to  provide  an  integration 
of  theory  and  practice,  to  build  a  bridge 
between  the  classroom  and  the  world  of 
political  and  governmental  activity. 
Properly  managed,  each  can  enrich  the 
other.  With  the  careful,  personal  super- 
vision which  Agnes  Scott's  small  size 
makes  possible,  and  the  wealth  of 
internship  opportunities  the  area  af- 
fords, we  are  in  a  uniquely  favorable 
position  to  take  advantage  of  this  valu- 
able learning  experience. 

The  ultimate  satisfaction  for  those  of 
us  who  teach  derives  from  seeing  our 
students  as  they  move  away  from  college 
and  establish  themselves  in  their  own 
activities  and  careers.  History  and  politi- 
cal science  graduates  pursue  a  wide 
range  of  goals.  Many  of  them  continue 
their  education  in  graduate  and  profes- 
sional schools  all  over  the  country. 
Others  have  entered  careers  in  law, 
journalism,  education,  business,  govern- 
ment, and  volunteer  services.  A

I  want  to  thank  the  Agnes  Scott 
Alumnae  Association  for  the  oppor- 
tunity to  participate  in  this  rite  of  tribute 
to  a  wonderful  teacher.  It  is  an  awesome 
final  assignment  from  Agnes  Scott,  and 
one  that  strikes  at  the  taproot  of  the 
institution  itself,  because  it  is  the  very 
qualities  I  have  returned  to  honor  today 
that  distinguish  Agnes  Scott  as  an 
institution. 

Of  all  the  outstanding  teachers  I  was 
privileged  to  have  here,  two  loom 
gigantic  in  my  memory:  Emma  May 
Laney  and  Mary  Virginia  Allen.  They 
were  vastly  different  in  personality  and 
style,  in  and  out  of  the  classroom;  but 
they  held  in  common  some  key  qualities: 
their  ability  to  share  the  richness  of  their 
scholarship,  which  turned  their  class- 
rooms into  literary  feasts,  their  delight- 
ful senses  of  humor,  and,  above  all,  their 
exacting  and  often  heavy  demands  upon 
us  as  students,  and  their  consequent  rare 
ability  —  and  this  is  the  unique  quality  —

Charles  Darwin  said,  ""I  think  it 
inevitably  follows,  that  as  new  species  in 
the  course  of  time  are  formed  .... 
others  will  become  rarer  and  rarer  .  .  ."" 
We  honor  today  such  a  rare  form. 

Her  kind  of  commitment  seems  to  be 
becoming  rarer  and  rarer  —  a  total 
commitment  to  her  profession  and  to  her 
institution.  This  quality  has  pervaded  her 
life  at  Agnes  Scott. 

Her  devotion  defies  the  clock.  She 
gives  us  a  sense  of  continuity,  of  being 
part  of  an  ongoing  human  effort  in 
learning  and  living.  As  a  result,  her 
indelible  gift  is  a  sense  of  ourselves.  She 
gives  us  a  sense  of  standards,  of  doing 
things  right.  She  makes  us  want  to  learn. 
She  makes  us  think. 

Let  him  not  be  asked  for  an 
account  merely  of  the  works  of  his 
lesson,  but  of  its  sense  and  sub- 
stance ...  It  is  a  sign  of  crude- 
ness  and  indigestion  to  disgorge 
food  just  as  we  swallowed  it.  The 
stomach  has  not  done  its  work  if  it 
has  not  changed  the  condition  and 
form  of  what  has  been  given  it  to 
cook.

Agnes  Scott  Alumnae  Qua 


Alumnae  Assist  in  Admissions 


Bv  Lihhy  Dowel  Wood 


MNAE  are  playing  a  greater  part  in 
ssions  each  year.  Currently  we  have 
Alumnae  Admissions  Representa- 
(AARs)  from  twenty-seven  states. 
nteen  are  new  this  year. 
le  AAR  Program  was  begun  in  the 

■70s  by  Carey  Bowen  Craig  "62. 
the  associate  director  of  alumnae 
rs.  The  objectives  of  the  program 
remained  the  same — to  increase  the 
ility  of  Agnes  Scott  College  in  local 
Tiunities.  to  increase  the  enrollment 
lualified  students,  and  to  renew 
est  among  alumnae  in  the  quality  of 
ation  offered  at  the  College, 
le  basic  responsibility  of  each  AAR 
act  as  the  official  liaison  between 
Admissions  Office  and  such  in- 
ted  people  as  prospective  students, 
icants.  parents,  counselors,  and 
s  in  the  community.  The  primary 
irement  for  an  AAR  is  to  stay 
med  about  the  College  as  it  exists 
The  Admissions  Office  sends 
:s  all  recruiting  brochures  as  well  as 
>dic  "updates."  When  traveling, 
members  attempt  to  phone  or  visit 
:s  and  once  a  year  the  Admissions 
;e  flies  AARs  back  to  campus  for  an 
sive  two-day  workshop.  This  year 
ty-one  AARs  from  twelve  states 
nineteen  cities  returned  to  attend 
es.  to  meet  with  student  leaders, 
dent  Perry,  and  other  administra- 
heads,  and  to  participate  in  a 
;shop  session.  Thus,  through  publi- 
ns,  personal  contact,  and  the  AAR 
erence,  the  Admissions  Office  at- 
ts  to  keep  AARs  abreast  of  cur- 
m  changes,  new  academic  pro- 
i.  social  policy,  and  admissions 
edures.  policies,  and  methods. 
r  activities  include  identifying  pros- 
ve   students,   visiting  local   secon- 

schools.  following  up  on  good 
sects  and  applicants,  hosting  infor- 
atherings,  representing  Agnes  Scott 
'ge  at  college  programs,  and  keeping 
dmissions  staff  up  to  date  on  local 
schools. 

jmnae  are  effective  representatives 
I  vital  part  of  the  overall  admissions 
am.  This  year  AARs  and  other 
nae  represented  Agnes  Scott  at 
three  college  programs  in  thirteen 
s,  seeing  over  265  new  students. 
s  and  other  alumnae  provided  336 
1  contacts  with  prospective  students 
year.  Six  AARs  and  two  other 
nae  held  six  informal  gatherings 
ded  by  a  total  of  ninety  students. 
Its.  counselors,  and  alumnae.  .\s  of 
twenty-four   AARs  contacted 


fifty-one  applicants,  twenty-three  of 
whom  enrolled. 

Visiting  local  high  schools  is  a  difficult 
AAR  duty.  Mary  Barnett  Tennaro  "67  of 
Upper  Montclair.  New  Jersey,  visited 
twenty-five  high  schools  this  year!  She 
generated  three  applicants  in  an  area 
usually  not  productive  for  the  College. 

This  data  shows  that  AARs  are  a  vital 
part  of  the  extended  admissions  staff. 
The  following  women  have  proven  their 
continuing  commitment  and  concern  for 
the  College  through  the  many  hours 
spent  in  representing  their  alma  mater. 
We  are  grateful.

A  New  Dimension 


Return  to  College  Program  Grows 


By  Dr.  Julia  T.  Gary 
Dean  of  the  College 


Seven  members  of  the  class  of  1979 
constitute  an  unusual  group  in  the 
history  of  Agnes  Scott  College.  They  are 
the  first  graduates  of  a  program  designed 
especially  for  women  whose  college 
education  has  been  interrupted  or. 
perhaps,  never  begun.  In  the  past,  an 
occasional  former  Agnes  Scott  student 
who  did  not  graduate  has  returned  to  the 
College  to  complete  degree  require- 
ments. A  few  years  ago,  however,  we 
instituted  a  special  program  for  all 
qualified  women  who  wish  to  come  to 
college,  either  part-time  or  full-time.  We 
call  it  the  Return  to  College  Program. 
The  women  in  this  program  are  permit- 
ted to  take  lighter  loads  than  a  student  of 
usual  college  age  and  to  extend  their 
academic  programs  beyond  the  tradi- 
tional four  years.  But  they  are  in  regular 


college  classes  with  other  students;  they 
are  subject  to  the  same  degree  require- 
ments as  other  students;  they  are  graded 
by  the  same  academic  standards. 

In  the  spring  of  1972,  Martha  Jane 
Davis  Jones  x'51  came  to  talk  with  Laura 
Steele  and  me  about  the  possibility  of 
completing  degree  requirements.  Little 
did  she  realize  that  her  return  to  college 
for  the  1972-73  session  planted  a  seed 
which  would  be  the  beginning  of  a 
significant  program  for  Agnes  Scott. 
Martha  Jane  Jones  received  her  degree 
from  Agnes  Scott  in  June  of  1973  with  a 
major  in  Bible  and  religion  and  has  since 
earned  the  M.A.T.  at  Emory  University. 
Several  years  later,  Helen  McGowan 
French  x"54  and  Frances  Sommerville 
Guess  x"53  returned  to  complete  their 
Agnes  Scott  degree  requirements. 


Angle  Benham  pauses  to  visit  with  a  friend  at  the  library  entrance. 


During  the  1973-74  session,  Assis 
Dean  of  the  College  Mildred  Love  I 
"61,  then  Director  of  Admissions 
Rivers  Payne  Hutcheson  '59,  Presi 
Perry,  and  I  began  to  discuss 
possibility  that  there  were  other  wo 
in  the  Atlanta  area  who  might  wis 
complete  their  academic  programs 
shorten  a  rather  long  story,  by  thefi 
1974  there  were  fourteen  women 
rolled  in  a  "Special  Continuing  Ed 
tion  Program"  at  Agnes  Scott.  Co 
Henderson,  an  administative  interi 
the  program  sponsored  by  a  grou 
women's  colleges  and  funded  in  pai 
the  Carnegie  Corporation,  arrived  it 
office  in  the  fall  of  1974,  while  Mill 
Petty  was  on  leave,  to  learn  al 
college  administration.  As  we  ta 
about  the  possible  directions  that 
work  for  the  year  might  take,  it 
apparent  that  the  Continuing  Educa 
Program  was  the  thing  which  spa 
Connie's  interest.  During  her  yea 
Agnes  Scott,  Connie  Henderson  n 
an  all-out  effort  to  strengthen  the 
gram,  searching  out  areas  for  rec 
ment,  conducting  interviews, 
publicity  material,  and  devoting  far  n 
time  to  the  beginnings  of  a  program 
we  might  otherwise  have  been  abl 
do.  During  that  first  year,  the  fac 
endorsed  the  idea  and  in  March 
adopted  a  statement  of  purpose 
regulations  for  the  Return  to  Col 
Program. 

Perhaps  the  true  pioneer  in  the  Re 
to  College  Program  is  Gloria  J( 
Howard.  She  was  the  first  of  the 
graduates  to  enter  the  program.  / 
two  years  at  Judson  College  an 
quarter  at  the  University  of  Alaba 
Gloria  Jones  withdrew  from  colleg( 
marry  a  B-29  bomber  pilot  of  World 
II  before  he  flew  overseas.  By  1974, 
Howards'  two  children  were  adults 
Gloria  was  free  once  again  to  thinl 
college.  She  came  to  Agnes  Scot 
complete  requirements  for  the  dej 
with  a  major  in  art.  She  dropped  ou 
school  for  one  quarter  to  assume  the 
of  grandmother  when  a  daughter  had 
first  baby.  Gloria's  walk  across  the  st 
on  June  3,  1979,  was  witnessed  by  a\ 
proud  husband,  a  son  and  daughter, 
two    delightful   young   granddaught

>  who  graduated  in  June  entered 
s  Scott  in  the  fall  of  1975.  Jessie 
Jine  Benham  came  with  approxi- 
ly  two  years  of  college  credit,  three 
g  children,  and  a  very  supportive 
and.  They  had  been  missionaries  for 
"al  years  on  a  Navajo  reservation  in 
3na.  At  the  end  of  her  junior  year, 
e  was  awarded  the  Emily  S.  De.xter 
larship  for  excellence  in  psycholo- 
he  received  her  degree  from  Agnes 
:  "With  Honor"  and  plans  to  enroll 
raduate  school  in  experimental 
nology  at  Georgia  Tech. 
lian  K.  Kiel  had  had  only  one  or 
courses  at  a  junior  college  near 
ago  before  she  enrolled  at  Agnes 

in  1975.  Lillian  selected  art  as  her 
r  and  was  president  of  Art  Club 
g  her  senior  year.  In  addition  to 
n,  there  were  three  other  graduates 
e  Kiel  family  in  early  June — a  son 

high  school,  a  second  son  from 


Georgia  Tech,  and  a  third  son  from  a 
graduate  program  at  Georgia  State.  Both 
Lillian's  husband  and  her  mother  came 
to  graduation  on  June  3.  Lillian  will 
devote  some  time  to  her  cooperative 
husband  and  six  supportive  children 
before  she  begins  to  work  with  art 
therapy. 

Catherine  Paul,  formerly  a  secretary 
for  Georgia  Power,  also  entered  Agnes 
Scott  in  1975.  Catherine  married  soon 
after  completing  high  school  and  had 
been  busy  supporting  her  young  son. 
Through  research  in  psychology  for  her 
Independent  Study  on  rape  and  for  a 
special  study  on  the  battered  woman, 
Catherine  became  interested  in  becom- 
ing a  probation  officer  or  a  counselor 
within  the  prison  system.  She  plans  to 
enter  a  graduate  program  in  criminal 
justice  at  Georgia  State. 

Mary  Christina  (Crissy)  Jensen  was  a 
medical  secretary  and  had  done  some 
study  at  DeKalb  College  and  Georgia 
State.  Her  degree  with  a  major  in 
English  was  conferred  "With  Honor." 
Crissy  has  two  children  and  is  expecting 
a  baby  in  late  June. 

Two    former    Agnes    Scott    students 


complete  the  group  of  RTC  graduates  in 
1979.  Ellanor  Cullens  entered  Agnes 
Scott  in  the  fall  of  1969  but  withdrew 
before  completing  her  degree.  She  has 
worked  for  MARTA  and  for  Emory  and 
has  done  some  work  with  professional 
theatre.  Ellanor"s  major  was  psy- 
chology. 

The  baby  of  the  RTC  class  of  1979  is 
Gretchen  Keyser.  Gretchen  withdrew 
from  Agnes  Scott  in  1973  and  was 
employed  by  Days  Inn  as  a  department 
supervisor.  During  her  year  and  a  half  as 
an  RTC  student  majoring  in  political 
science,  Gretchen  continued  her  work 
with  Days  Inn. 

The  major  thrust  of  the  RTC  program 
is  toward  the  adult  woman  who  has  not 
yet  received  a  college  degree.  The 
program  is  available  also  to  women  who 
have  previously  received  degrees  but 
who  wish  to  come  as  unclassified  stu- 
dents to  pursue  a  particular  course  of 
study.  During  the  five  years  of  its 
existence,  the  RTC  program  has  grown 
from  the  fourteen  students  who  began  in 
the  fall  of  1974  to  almost  sixty  students 
enrolled  in  the  1978-79  session.

Return  to  College 
Program  Grows 


(continued) 


College,  spends  more  than  half  her  time 
working  with  the  RTC  program  and  finds 
that  the  job  pays  significant  dividends. 
She  begins  to  work  with  a  student  while 
the  student  is  applying  for  admission  and 
continues  to  assist  in  awarding  financial 
aid.  in  evaluating  previous  academic 
credit,  and  in  planning  course  programs. 
She  is  advisor  to  the  RTC  students  from 
the  time  of  application  until  graduation. 
Also  closely  identified  with  the  RTC 
program  is  Dr.  Miriam  K.  Drucker, 
chairman  of  the  Department  of  Psychol- 
ogy. Mrs.  Drucker,  at  the  students' 
invitation,  conducts  weekly  discussions 
on  topics  of  the  students"  choice,  ranging 
from  academic  programs  to  alteration  of 
family  relationships  and  patterns  of 
living. 

The  very  blunt  population  statistics 
projected  for  the  1980s  are,  in  them- 
selves, a  justification  for  a  Return  to 
College  Program  at  Agnes  Scott.  It  can 
also  be  said  that  Agnes  Scott,  as  a 
woman's  college,  has  a  peculiar  respon- 
sibility for  the  development  of  women  of 
all  ages.  But  above  and  beyond  all  the 
rational  statements  of  justification  that 
one  might  set  forth  for  such  a  program  is 
the  simple  fact  that  these  women  contri- 
bute significantly  to  the  life  of  the 
College.  They  are  delightful  and 
stimulating  students.  They  are  alumnae 
of  whom  the  College  is  proud!  ▲

^ARTA  Sparks  New  Growth  in  Decatur 


By  Jet  HarpL' 


THOSE  alumnae  who  have  been 
y  from  Agnes  Scott  for  a  while,  be  it 
ittie  as  a  year,  the  environs  are 
iging.  Decatur  is  one  of  the  sites  of  a 

rapid  transit  system  which,  at 
ent,  links  this  part  of  DeKalb 
nty  to  downtown  Atlanta.  This 
dy  new  transportation  system  is 
iing  alterations  throughout  the  At- 
1  area,  and  Decatur  is  no  exception 

new  growth  and  life  enlivening  the 
and  strengthing  its  economy. 

June  .^0.  1979.  MARTA  (Met- 
Htan  Atlanta  Rapid  Transit  Authori- 
)pened  its  first  stretch  of  the  rapid 

system  from  Avondale  Estates 
ugh  Decatur  to  Georgia  State  Uni- 
ty in  downtown  Atlanta.  This  si,x 
seven  tenths  mile  stretch  is  the  first 
of  MARTA's  proposed  fifty-three 
rapid  transit  system  to  open  and  be 
nto  operation. 

le  East  Line  run  from  Avondale 
tes  to  downtown  Atlanta  has  already 
ght  changes  to  Decatur.  New  shops 
■estaurants  have  opened  or  are  in  the 
ess  of  opening,  traffic  has  been 
jted  around  Court  Square,  and  the 

air  plaza  over  the  Decatur  subway 
Dn  (the  only  subway  stop  on  the  East 
)  is  now  a  gathering  spot  during 
1  hours. 

;catur"s  new  centerpiece  is  located 
:ont  of  the  old  courthouse.  The 
;en  million  dollar  station  is  a  tri- 
structure,  consisting  of  the  600-foot 

platform  or  boarding  area,  the 
ourse  or  fare  collection  area,  and 
plaza.  Two  twenty-five  foot  high 
ght  murals  by  Georgia  artist  Larry 
laster  penetrate  both  levels  of  the 
>n,  and  the  skylights  provide  the 
orm  level  with  natural  light, 
e  City  of  Decatur,  with  its  three 

on  the  East  Line  (Avondale  Es- 

Decatur,  and  East  Lake),  has  the 
est  number  of  stops  on  a  rapid 
it  system  of  any  city  per  capita  in 
ivorld.  The  East  Line  dedication 
nonies  were  held  June  30  at  the  East 

station,  with  the  system  offically 
ing  then.  The  dedication  of  the 
tur  station  was  held  July  1  with  the 
i  Quintet  of  the  Atlanta  Symphony 
i  Dixie  Land  band  performing  (at 

ent  times)  that  afternoon.  During 
wo   weeks   prior  to  the  system's 

ng,  the  City  of  Decatur  provided

live  entertainment  and  an  artists'  festival 
on  the  plaza. 

Decatur  mayor  Ann  Avant  Crichton 
'61  was  elected  one  month  after  the 
MARTA  referendum  passed  in  1971.  so, 
as  she  says,  she  has  been  "living  with 
it."  She  is  excited  by  the  new  develop- 
ments and  sees  MARTA's  presence  in 
Decatur  as  "so  much  more  than  a 
transportation  system.  It  has  recaptured 
Court  Square  for  what  it  was — a  'people 
place.'"    She    views    MARTA   as   the 


catalyst  toward  meeting  several  of  the 
city's  economic  and  neighborhood  se- 
curity goals  by  strengthening  the  tax 
base  and  providing  an  alternative  to  the 
automobile. 

Decatur's  new  growth  surge  and  new 
vitality  promise  to  continue  with 
MARTA  estimating  that  by  1990,  the 
Decatur  Station  alone  will  serve  as  many 
as  12,000  people  daily  on  the  ten-minute 
ride  to  or  from  downtown  Atlanta.  A

Thk  Agnes  Scott  Ai a^mnak  Association 
invites  you  to  a  come  on  a  three-day  trip  to  New 
York  city  from  October  10  through  I?,  1979.  The 
stay  in  New  ^ork  will  include  three  morning 
tours  around  Manhattan,  tickets  to  a  Broadway 
play,  lunch  at  President  Cissie  Spiro  Aidinoff  s 
and  a  meeting  with  New  York  alumnae,  and  a 
formal  dinner  at  an  elegant  cluh.  Kvery  afternoon 
will  be  free  for  more  sightseeing,  museum-going, 
or  shopping.  We  will  stay  at  the  centrally-located 
Wellington  Prince  George  for  the  three  nights. 

Plans  are  for  a  group  of  alumnae  and  friends 
leaving  from  Atlanta;  another  group  who  will 
arrange  their  own  travel  and  meet  the  Atlanta 
group  in  New  York  and  also  stay  at  the 
Wellington;  and  a  third  group  of  New  York  area 
alumnae  who  will  be  invited  to  the  luncheon  and 
meeting  at  Cissie's. 

The  three  morning  tours  planned  are  L'ptown 
sightseeing  and  the  Morris-Jumel  Mansion;  an 
East  Side.  West  Side  tour  of  New  York;  and  a

beautiful  colonial  house  built  in  \7f^5.  the  oldest 
residence  still  standing  in  Manhattan.  The  man- 
sion served  as  Washington's  headquarters  in  1776 
and  contains  thirteen  rooms  of  original  and

The  East  Side.  West  Side  tour  will  go  from 
Lincoln  Center  to  the  Battery,  from  Wall  Street

characteristics  and  its  rich  cultural  history.  The 
high  ( !)  spot  of  the  tour  will  be  the  observation 
deck  on  the  1 10th  floor  of  the  World  Trade 
Center  from  which  one  can  see  all  of  New  York.

ull  us  beyond  ourselves,  to  pull  from 
nore  than  we  were  capable  of.  more 
1  we  would  have  dared  hope,  dared 
I'm,  dared  otherwise  to  attempt, 
/ith  Mary  Virginia  Allen  this  was  an 
:ncompassing  task.

•  warm  concern  for  her  students 
vaded  her  waking  hours  (and  some- 
es  ours,  when  a  paper  was  overdue). 
■  presence  filled  the  campus.  We 
e  aware  of  her  eager  interest  as  we 
'  her  across  the  quadrangle  on  our 
/  to  the  library  or  e.xperienced  her 
chful  eye  as  we  entered  the  dining 
,  thinking  we  were  lost  among  four 
idred  others  only  to  discover  she  was 
koning  us  to  the  French  table.  We 
e  aware  of  her  undiverted  focus  as 

encouraged  us  in  our  quadrangle 
ounters  to  spend  a  summer  at  the 
nch  School  at  Middlebury,  and  then 
ceeded  to  look  for  funds  to  make  it 
sible  for  us. 

Jers  was  a  concern  that  distinguished 
as  people,  however  struggling  we 
e.  It  wasn't  a  question  of  making  us 
important.  She  distinguished  us  with 
lortance;  she  bestowed  us  with  it 
)ugh  her  earnest  and  loving  concern, 

we  were  enabled  through  it  to 
pond  to  the  intellectual  challenge  of 
classroom  with  confidence  and  with 
sense  that  we  had  a  responsibility  to 
land  our  minds  and  our  hearts  to  the 
its  of  the  distinction  and  legacy  she 
e  us.  Thus  I  came  out  of  my  regional 
itage  and  English  major  with  a  capac- 
for  conversational  French  (Mary 
ginia  Allen  and  Agnes  Scott  gave  me 
1  have  not  as  yet  arrived  at 
Idlebury  or  France)  that  I  have  used 
leatedly  over  the  years,  whether 
iwing  a  French-speaking  visitor 
und  the  United  Nations,  helping  a 
band  decipher  French  archaeological 
mals,  or  simply  comparing  the  Eng- 
subtitles  to  the  French  in  the  movie 
he  corner  and  being  so  often  aware  of 
subtleties  lost  in  translation. 

want  to  close  this  tribute  with  a 
zzical  truth  for  an  English  major.  So 
ch  of  what  prepared  me  for  life  I 
ned  in  French.  In  the  midst  of 
iding  by  tough  and  painful  decisions  I 
e  remembered  so  often  Descartes' 
'ice  to  proceed  resolutely  forward, 
'ing  determined  it  the  best  way,  not 
>wing  feeble  reasons  to  deter  and 
ert  us.  And  Pascal:  "Le  coeur  a  ses 
ons,  que  la  raison  ne  connait  point." 


And  there  we  expose  the  taproot  of 
Agnes  Scott,  that  "des  choses 
serieuses,"  matters  of  consequence, 
involve  both  the  mind  and  the  heart.  To 
carry  us  through  an  impersonal  world  of 
nuclear  power  and  computers,  we  have 
learned  here  that  the  finest  technician  is 
not  necessarily  the  greatest  pianist,  and 
the  most  perfect  prose  can  be  the  most 
useless,  and  that  it  is  possible  to  see 
sheep  through  the  walls  of  a  box,  as  did 
the  little  prince,  and  that  "all  roads  lead 
to  the  abodes  of  men,"  and  that  "what 
makes  the  desert  beautiful  is  that  some- 
where it  hides  a  well."  Here  a  great 
teacher  not  only  traverses  the  classroom 
but  also  the  quadrangle.  It  is  not  just  an 
academic,  but  also  a  curbstone  experi- 
ence. 

Of  all  the  gifts  Agnes  Scott  has  given 
me,  none  has  shadowed  me  more  closely 
than  Antoine  de  Saint-Exupery's  The 
Little  Prince,  to  which  Miss  Allen  intro- 
duced me.  It  has  inspired,  soothed, 
encouraged,  amused,  refreshed,  and  sus- 
tained me  with  its  wisdom. 

A  pilot  downed  in  the  north  African 
desert  meets  the  little  prince,  who  comes 
from  a  planet  scarcely  larger  than  a 
house,  with  one  rose  bush,  and  three 
volcanoes  the  size  of  footstools.  The 
Rose  is  vain  but  beautiful.  He  loves  and 
cares  for  her.  The  little  prince  encoun- 
ters a  fox  in  the  desert,  who  makes  him  a 
present  of  a  very  simple  secret. 

"And  now  here  is  my  secret,  a  very 

simple  secret; 
It  is  only  with  the  heart  that  one  can 

see  rightly; 
what  is  essential  is  invisible  to  the 

eye." 
"L'essentiel    est    invisible    pour    les 

yeux,"  the  little  prince  repeated,  so 

that  he  would  be  sure  to  remember. 

"It  is  the  time  you  have  wasted  for 
your  rose  that  makes  your  rose  so 
important." 

"C'est  le  temps  que  j'ai  perdu  pour  ma 
rose  .  .  ."  said  the  little  prince,  so 
that  he  would  be  sure  to  remember. 

In  a  world  pushing  forward  and 
backward  with  logarithmic  speed,  a 
world  in  which  a  Mary  Leakey  shows  us 
that  Longfellow's  metaphorical  "foot- 
prints in  the  sands  of  time"  were  cast  in 
volcanic  ash  in  a  Tanzanian  desert  3.6 
million  years  ago,  1  want  to  present  a 
concrete  metaphor.

Allen)

are  naive.")

Bess  Patton 


Latin  Scholarship  Established 


The  RECE^TL^  endowed  Lillian  Ger- 
trude Patton  Latin  Scholarship  Fund  of 
SIO.OOO  honors  this  1920  Agnes  Scott 
graduate  for  her  untiring  devotion  to  the 
Latin  language  and  her  forty-nine  years 
of  distinguished  and  dedicated  teaching 
of  this  language.  The  scholarship  is 
awarded  on  the  basis  of  financial  need 
and  for  excellence  in  Latin. 

Behind  this  gift  lies  a  story  of  a 
lifetime  of  devotion  between  two  sisters 
in  Chattanooga.  Tennessee.  The  older. 
Miss  Bess  Patton.  had  begun  her  career 
as  a  talented  music  teacher  when  her 
sister  Lillian  became  interested  in  at- 
tending Agnes  Scott — but  lacked  the 
funds  to  do  so.  Miss  Bess  was  deter- 
mined that  Lillian  should  come  and 
scrimped  and  saved  from  her  earnings  to 
provide  the  necessary  funds.  At  times 
these  included  not  only  her  college  fees 
but  also  her  spending  money  and 
clothes. 

After  receiving  her  degree  from  Agnes 
Scott  in  1920.  Lillian  returned  to  Chat- 
tanooga High  School,  from  which  she 


had  graduated  in  1916.  to  begin  her  long 
and  successful  career  as  a  teacher.  Some 
summers  of  graduate  study  in  Latin  at 
Columbia  University  enriched  her  teach- 
ing. During  her  years  of  teaching  she 
says  that  she  must  have  taught  at  least 
7,500  students  and  worked  with  several 
thousand  more  in  school  organizations. 
Her  greatest  joy  was  to  see  these  young 
people  gain  an  appreciation  and  en- 
thusiasm for  Latin. 

Now  that  Lillian  has  retired  from 
teaching,  her  sister.  Miss  Bess,  is  anx- 
ious for  young  people  to  continue  to 
benefit  from  Lillian's  love  of  Latin. 
Originally  Miss  Bess  had  included  in  her 
will  a  provision  for  this  scholarship.  This 
spring,  however,  she  and  Lillian  both 
decided  that  they  would  enjoy  knowing 
who  some  of  the  recipients  would  be.  As 
a  consequence,  she  made  her  gift  to 
establish  the  scholarship  in  a  special 
presentation  at  their  home.  Thus  this 
love  and  thoughtfulness  of  Miss  Bess  for 
her  sister  will  soon  begin  helping  many 
young  women  attend  Agnes  Scott.  A

Word  came  from  club  president  Virginia

his  presentation  was  "interesting, 
thoughtful  and  sensitive  ...  he  is  a 
marvelous  representative  of  ASC.  Just 
wish  we  could  go  back  to  Agnes  Scott 
and  take  a  few  more  courses.  We  all  had 
such  a  good  time."  A  candlelight  tour  of

wrote  chairman  Peggy  Frederick  Smith 
'62  after  the  Tri-Cities  area  alums  met 
for  luncheon  March  10  at  Ridgefields 
Country  Club  in  Kingsport.  Tenn. 
"Dean  Gary  seemed  to  hit  on  exactly 
what  the  alumnae  were  anxious  to 
know."  The  club  has  decided  to  name  a 
special  leader  for  each  of  the  three  areas 
represented  in  its  membership;  Jennifer

Winston-Salem 

Alumnae  in  the  Winston-Salem,  N.C., 
area  are  off  to  a  successful  and  en- 
thusiastic start.  Their  new  club  has  not 
yet  been  officially  named  but  has  com- 
posed a  set  of  by-laws  and  elected  as 
officers:  Ann  Pollard  Withers  '61,  presi- 
dent; Lucy  Morcock  Milner  '63,  vice 
president;  Cleo  McLaurine  Baldridge

the  classroom,  her  influenee  extends  far 
beyond  that  time,  through  her  sponsor- 
ship of  many  classes  and  organizations, 
and  through  her  active  interest  in  her 
students,  new  and  old. 

Harrison  and  Montague  have  intro- 
duced their  biology  text  with  the  follow- 
ing thought: 

Whereas  it  is  the  special  purpose 
of  the  scientist  to  deal  with  facts 
analytically  and  impersonally,  he 
is  not  necessarily  a  bad  scientist  if 
the  sum  total  of  what  he  learns 
appeals  to  his  emotions  ...  It  is 
the  Privilege  of  scientists,  as  well 
as  of  all  other  men,  to  appreciate 
and  relish  the  marvels  they 
unravel. 

She  is  identified  in  my  mind  with  that 
idea.  Because  she  is  sensitive  to  the 
"marvels,"  so  are  her  students,  and  so 
are  theirs.

took  two  years  to  complete  and  the 
results  were  succinctly  compiled  and 
presented. 

Her  students  are  another  monument 
she  has  built.  From  beginning  Latin  to 
upper  level  courses  in  Vergil  and 
Euripides,  she  communicated  her  love  of 
the  classics  in  an  infectious  way.  If  a 
student  desired  to  study  an  author  not 
listed  in  the  curriculum  in  a  directed 


reading  course,  Mrs.  Young  would  o 
to  undertake  the  job  even  thoug 
meant  much  extra  work  for  her.  Alw 
interested  in  her  students  as  people, 
was  readily  available  for  conferei 
whether  on  an  academic  subject 
personal  problem. 

Although  we  students  are  tang 
monuments  to  Myrna  Young's  suc( 
as  a  teacher,  inside  each  of  us  is 
intangible  imprint  that,  as  a  person, 
left  on  our  lives.  She  gave  her 
cheerfully  and  wholeheartedly  to  e\ 
endeavor  and  inspired  each  of  us  to 
likewise. 

She  seems  much  too  vigorous  to  h 
reached  retirement  age  and  will  re 
only  from  teaching;  it  is  certain  she 
never  give  up  her  interest  in  the  scl 
and  in  her  students. 

Myrna  Young  has  left  to  Agnes  S( 
College,  her  colleagues,  and  every  yo 
woman  she  has  taught  an  ideal 
emulate.  May  our  own  monuments  b( 
everlasting  as  hers  will  be.  A

utstanding  Alumnae  for  1 979 


Virginia  Brown  McKenzie  '47 


One  of  the  highlights  of  Alumnae  Day  each  April 
is  the  recognition  of  three  outstanding  alumnae  whose 
sustained  achievement  has  come  to  the  attention  of  the 
Association's  Executive  Board.  Members  of  the  Execu- 
tive Committee  of  the  Alumnae  Association  Board 
consider  outstanding  alumnae  in  three  categories;  dis- 
tinguished career,  community  service,  and  service  to 
the  College.  Some  alumnae  qualify  in  all  three  fields, 
but  one  alumna  in  each  group  is  selected  to  be  honored 
at  our  Annual  Meeting  on  Alumnae  Day. 

The  three  recipients  of  our  Outstanding  Alumnae 
awards  this  year  were:  Martha  Stackhouse  Grafton  '30, 
distinguished  career;  Goldie  Ham  '19,  community 
service;  and  Penny  Brown  Barnett  '32,  service  to  the 
College. 

Martha  Stackhouse  Grafton  was  an  outstanding  stu- 
dent at  Agnes  Scott,  where  she  was  elected  to  Phi  Beta 
Kappa.  Mortar  Board,  and  the  presidency  of  the  Stu- 
dent Government.  She  received  her  M.A.  from  North- 
western University  in  1936, 

Martha's  professional  life  was  spent  at  Mary  Baldwin 
College  as  teacher,  assistant  dean,  registrar,  dean  of  the 
College,  and  three  times    acting  president. 

In  the  Presbyterian  church  she  has  served  as  elder, 
as  moderator  of  Shenandoah  Presbytery,  and  as  chair- 
man of  the  Council  on  Church  and  Societv. 

Martha  Stackhouse  Grafton  has  had  two  buildings 
named  in  her  honor,  the  library  at  Mary  Baldwin  Col- 
lege and  the  theater  at  James  Madison  University, 
where  she  has  served  as  vice-regent  of  the  Board  of 
Visitors. 

Martha  and  husband  Thomas  have  three  daughters, 
two  of  whom,  twins  Letty  and  Lib,  graduated  from 
Agnes  Scott  in  1955.  Of  her  five  grandchildren,  one. 
Claire  Hall,  graduated  from  Agnes  Scott  this  June, 

Also  having  a  distinguished  career  hut  cited  for  her 
service  to  the  community  was  Goldie  Suttle  Ham  '19, 
who  began  practicing  medicine  in  Houston,  Texas,  in 
1926.  An  obstetrician  and  gynecologist,  she  was  one 
of  three  women  physicians  in  Houston  at  that  time. 
After  forty-one  years  of  service,  she  retired  in  1967. 
Dr.  Ham  always  found  time  to  address  high  school 
groups  about  careers  in  medicine.  She  said,  "To  he  a 
good  physician,  1  think  you  must  have  a  real  desire  for 
a  service  profession  because  in  medicine  you  provide 
service  to  other  people." 

She  has  served  on  the  boards  of  the  Young  Women's 
Christian  Association  and  the  Sheltering  Arms  Agency 
Services  for  the  Aging  as  well  as  being  a  founding  mem- 
ber of  St.  Philip  Presbyterian  Church. 

In  1978  she  was  selected  to  receive  the  Houstonian 
of  the  Year  Award,  presented  to  individuals  who  pro- 
vide outstanding  role  models  to  young  people  and  who 
contribute    significantly    to    Houston's    welfare. 

Goldie  Ham  married  Gordon  Bell  Hanson  in  1932. 
Both  of  their  two  daughters,  Ann  Hanson  Merklein  '55 
and  Elizabeth  Hanson  Duerr  '58  were  graduated  from 
Agnes  Scott. 


For  service  to  the  College  the  committee  chose 
Penny  Brown  Barnett  '32,  who  as  a  student  edited  the 
yearbook  and  was  elected  to  Phi  Beta  Kappa  and 
Mortar  Board.  For  two  years  after  graduation,  she 
served  as  the  College's  first  field  secretary,  presenting 
the  College  to  high  schools  and  other  groups  through- 
out the  nation. 

As  a  volunteer.  Penny  has  contributed  her  time  and 
talent  as  president  of  the  Atlanta  Club  and  as  presi- 
dent of  the  national  Alumnae  Association.  At  the  end 
of  her  term  of  office  as  president  of  the  Alumnae 
Association,  she  was  a  Trustee  of  the  College,  During 
this  era  she  laid  the  groundwork  for  our  Alumnae  Fund 
Plan,  for  which  she  has  been  an  agent  since  its 
inception. 

She  is  recognized  as  an  outstanding  Biblical  scholar 
and  has  been  teaching  an  interdenominational  Bible 
class  continuously  since  1947.  She  has  also  served  on 
medical,  educational,  and  civic  boards  while  managing 
a  home  for  her  doctor  husband  and  five  children. 

Through  her  exemplary  involvement  in  the  life  of 
the  city  of  Atlanta.  Penny  Brown  Barnett  has  brought 
favorable  attention  to  the  quality  of  the  product  of 
Agnes  Scott,  her  graduates. 

At  the  time  these  three  awards  were  given,  the 
speeches  of  presentation  and  response  were  so  eloquent 
and  scholarly  that  all  who  listened  were  moved  to 
acknowledge  the  high  calibre  of  abilities  exhibited  by 
Agnes  Scott  alumnae. 

Many  of  our  alumnae  need  to  be  recognized.  Won't 
you  help  us  by  listing  your  nominations  on  the  printed 
form  on  this  page.  Send  it  to  the  Alumnae  Office,  Agnes
