MclVER  HOUSE 


By  VIRGINIA  TERRELL  LATHROP  '23 


One  of  the  oldest  landmarks  on  the 
Woman's  College  campus  and  a  cen- 
ter where  much  of  the  educational 
history  of  the  state  was  made,  gave 
way  to  progress  this  week  with  the 
razing  of  the  old  president's  house 
built  in  1892  as  a  residence  for  Dr. 
and  Mrs.  Charles  Duncan  Mclver. 


who  dropped  from  a  passing  freight 
train  on  the  nearby  railroad  tracks, 
one  fourteenth  of  February,  came  to 
the  Mclver  house  to  cut  wood  for  an 
evening  meal,  and  stayed  a  year,  leav- 
ing as  suddenly  as  he  came. 

In  the  house  during  the  years  of  Dr. 
Mclver's   presidency,   were   entertained 


erously      to      th 
school. 


e      struggling      young 


Following  the  death  of  Dr.  Mclver  in 
1906,  the  legislature  offered  the  home 
to  Mrs.  Mclver  for  her  lifetime.  For 
almost  forty  years  she  lived  there,  an 
inspiration  to  the  college  she  had  a 
large  part  in  establishing.  In  the  later 
years  of  her  life,  confined  to  a  wheel 
chair,  she  often  sat  on  the  front  porch, 
or  at  a  window  of  one  of  the  living 
rooms  where  she  could  see  the  activity 
of  the  campus,  looking  out  directly 
on  the  Curry  Training  School  where 
the   teacher  program   of  the  college  is 


Mclver  House,  at  the  corner  of  Spring  Garden  Street  and  College  Avenue,  and  home  of 
Woman's  College  founder.  Dr.  Charles  D.  Mclver,  gives  way  to  progress. 


For  sixty  years  the  spacious  two- 
story  ten  room  frame  house  stood  just 
inside  the  main  gate  of  the  college,  its 
doors  wide  open  to  students,  faculty, 
and  guests  on  the  campus,  requiring 
the  use  of  two  living  rooms  and  a 
large  front  porch  to  take  care  of  the 
groups  that  Dr.  Mclver,  in  his 
dynamic,  friendly  way  gathered 
around  him. 

For  a  number  of  years  the  house  was 
a  matter  of  controversy  in  news- 
papers because  it  had  been  built  for 
the  use  of  the  president,  an  innovation 
half  a  century  ago  in  North  Carolina. 
One  writer  charged  that  Dr.  Mclver, 
with  a  house  furnished  by  the  state, 
was  taking  boarders.  The  writer  was 
not  aware  of  the  hospitality  of  the 
Mclvers,  who  took  in  everyone  need- 
ing shelter  be  it  so  a  distinguished  a 
guest  as  visiting  lecturers,  or  Valen- 
tme,    the    now    famous    young    tramp 


the  distinguished  guests  and  speak- 
ers that  he  had  a  penchant  for  bring- 
ing to  the  college.  A  born  public 
relations  expert  he  invited  every 
passmg  man  of  distinction  to  come 
and  speak  to  the  students,  have  din- 
ner and  spend  the  night  in  his  home. 
He  thus  established  contacts  with 
many  foundations,  legislators,  and 
philanthropists     who     responded     gen-

carried     on,     the     program     probably 
closest  to  her  heart. 

A  teacher  herself,  Mrs.  Mclver  was 
a  woman  of  the  same  intellectual  cali- 
ber as  her  distinguished  husband,  a 
woman  so  fired  with  the  desire  for 
learning  that  she  took  courses  avail- 
able to  her  in  North  CaroHna  in  the 
eighteen-seventies  to  prepare  herself 
for  medicine.  She  read  law  with  her 
husband.  She  taught  art  at  Peace 
Institute  while  he  spent  time  in  Ra- 
leigh battling  with  the  legislature  for 
funds  to  build  the  Woman's  College. 
She  became  head  of  the  Presbyterian 
Female  College  in  Charlotte,  which 
later  became  Queens,  She  formed  a 
third  member  of  the  team  of  Mclver 
and  Alderman  on  its  Institute  tours 
through  the  state  to  give  teacher 
training  when  there  was  no  college 
for  the  work.  She  assisted,  when  the 
school  became  a  reaHty  in   1891   with 


The  Alumnae  News 


the  planning,  the  furnishing,  the 
secretarial  work  — -  and  at  the  same 
time  reared  a  family  of  four  chil- 
dren. 

Julia  Booker,  who  reigned  over  the 
Mclver  kitchen  for  many  years  and 
brought  up  her  family  in  the  servant's 
house  in  the  rear  of  the  president's 
home,  once  said  in  tribute  to  Mrs.  Mc- 
lver: "She  was  meant  for  the  pulpit, 
not  for  the  kitchen." 

The  entertainment  in  the  Mclver 
home  was  famous.  It  was  the  only 
place  available  near  the  small  cam- 
pus of  Dr.  Mclver's  day,  for  a  guest 
to  sleep.  It  was  a  long  way  into  town 
to  a  hotel,  and  the  road  was  muddy. 
So  the  house  was  built  large,  with  ten 
rooms,  spacious  indeed  for  the  day 
when  the  campus  Itself  consisted  of 
only  two  other  buildings. 

Dr.  Mclver  and  his  family  lived  in 
the  Benbow  hotel  during  the  months 
of  the  erection  of  the  two  first  build- 
ings, Administration  and  Old  Brick 
Dormitory.  No  provision  was  made 
by  the  legislature  of  1891  for  a  home 
for  Dr.  Mclver.  An  early  newspaper 
clipping  says  that  the  family  might 
have  lived  in  the  dormitory  except 
that  they  felt  it  would  mean  less  room 
for  students  who  were  clamoring  for 
admission. 

Just  prior  to  the  opening  of  the 
college  in  1892,  a  special  session  of  the 
executive  committee  of  the  Board  of 
Directors  authorized  the  expenditure 
of  $9,000  for  the  addition  of  rooms 
to  house  twenty-two  more  students 
in  the  dormitory,  and  for  the  Presi- 
dent's house.  It  was  built  largely  of 
material  left  from  the  Administra- 
tion building  and  Old  Brick,  and  was 
ready  for  occupancy  within  six  weeks 
from  the  time  it  was  authorized. 

Almost  in  the  country,  the  college 
offered  no  nearby  housing  for  faculty 
members,  and  the  Mclvers  took  them 
m,  thus  giving  rise  to  the  charge  that 
they  were  using  a  state  building  for 
a  boarding  house.  Reports  to  the 
Board  show  that  Dr.  Mclver  paid 
rent  for  the  house,  $15  a  month,  and 
one  newspaper,  in  defending  him, 
declared    that   so   long   as   he   paid   his 


rent  it  was  his  own  business  whether 
he  took  boarders  or  not. 

Two  of  the  Mclver  children,  Ver- 
linda,  who  died  in  childhood,  and 
Mrs.  John  Dickinson,  now  of  Greens- 
boro, were  born  in  the  house.  Mrs. 
Dickinson  was  married  in  the  house, 
and  the  wedding  reception  of  the 
older  daughter,  Mrs.  James  Young, 
now  of  Greensboro,  was  held  In  the 
two  living  rooms. 

The  back  porch  of  the  house, 
later  glassed-in  for  a  sun  parlor,  was 
famous  for  its  watermelon  cuttings 
which  were  held  every  evening  after 
suDper  when  watermelons  were  in 
season,  to  the  delight  of  the  faculty 
members  who  came  from  the  north 
and  were  unfamiliar  with  the  fruit 
which  Dr.  Mclver  enjoyed  so  much 
that  he  was  said  to  have  bought  them 
by  the  wagon-load. 

Among  the  distlnguls^ied  gue'ts 
who  were  entertained  In  the  Mclvei-s' 
home,  and  were  always  met  at  the 
train  and  taken  to  it  by  Dr.  Mclver 
and  Zeke  his  driver  and  good  friend, 
were  "Walter  Hines  Page  who  delivered 
during  a  visit  his  famous  "Forgotten 
M^n"  speech  in  t^-e  collesje  audito- 
rium; Ge^rse  Peabody,  nhllanthronlst 
and  educator  whose  generosity  with 
the  Peabody  Fund  helped  to  rebuild 
the  south  educationally,  and  for 
whom  Peabody  Park  on  the  camous 
was  named;  J.  C.  L.  Curry,  agent  for 
the  Peabody  Fund  and  such  a  force 
in  education  that  the  teacher  train- 
ing school  on  the  campus  bears  his 
name. 

William  Jennings  Bryan  who  was 
with  Dr.  Mclver  on  the  train  coming 
to  Greensboro  when  Dr.  Mclver  suf- 
fered his  fatal  attack,  went  imme- 
diately to  the  Mclver  home  to  call  on 
Mrs.  Mclver.  Anna  Howard  Shaw, 
who  spoke  three  times  at  the  college 
and  because  of  her  interest  in  the 
college  a  dormitory  bears  her  name, 
called  at   the  house. 

During  Mclver's  years  as  president 
he  gathered  a  distinguished  faculty 
and  during  winter  evenings  they  con- 
ferred around  the  fireplace  in  one  of 
the  living  rooms  on  the  problems  of 
appropriations  and  of  academic  proce- 


dure. Among  them  were  Edwin  A. 
Alderman,  then  Professor  of  English, 
the  later  president  of  the  University 
of  North  Carolina  and  of  Virginia; 
P.  P.  Claxton,  then  a  member  of  Mc- 
lver's faculty  and  later  U.  S.  Com- 
missioner of  Education;  J.  Y.  Jovner, 
State  Superintendent  of  Public  In- 
struction 1901-1919;  Major  S.  M.  Fin- 
ger State  Superintendent  of  Public  In- 
struction, 1885-1892;  M.  C.  S.  Noble, 
member  of  the  first  Board  of  Direc- 
tors of  the  "Normal"  and  a  member 
of  the  band  of  the  young  educational 
crusaders  who  went  about  the  state, 
Mclver  and  Alderman  their  leaders, 
holding  teachers'  institutes.  Governor 
Aycock  visited  the  campus  often  and 
was  probably  a  guest  In  the  Mclver 
home  at  the  time  of  the  disastrous  fire 
which  destroyed  the  Old  Brick  dormi- 
tory in  the  early  morning  of  January 
21,  1904.  Called  by  Dr.  Mclver  on 
the  telephone,  Aycock  Inquired  for 
the  safety  of  the  girls,  then  came  to 
the  college  the  next  day  and  is  said  to 
have  addressed  students,  telling  them 
how  pleased  he  was  to  find  them  "fully 
clothed  and  In  their  right  mind." 

When   the  house   was   built,   it   was 
heated    by    fireplaces    and    lighted    by 
kerosene  lamps.    Mrs.   Mclver,   always 
interested     in     higher     education     for 
young   people,   often   gave   a   place   in 
her  home  to  one  or  more  young  women 
who   could   not   afford   to   defra)-   col- 
lege expenses,   and  over  a  long  period 
of  years  gave  a  room  and  meals  to  a  i 
succession    of   students    at    the   Negro  j 
A.  and  T.  College,  always  keeping  In  | 
touch   with   them    after   they   finished  j 
college  and  when   a  number  of  them  | 
became  teachers  of  their  race. 

Following  the  death  of  Mrs.  Mclver 
In  1944,  the  house  was  used  as  a  dorm- 
itory for  service-women  studying  at 
the  college  under  the  G.  I.  Bill.  It 
seemed  particularly  fitting  that  Mrs. 
Mclver's  home  should  house  these  stu- 
dents whose  determination  to  secure 
an  education  and  to  fit  themselves  for 
a  career  overcame  the  obstacle  of  war, 
just  as  Mrs.  Mclver  in  her  search  for 
education  so  many  years  earlier  had 
overcome  the  devastation  and  discour- 
agement of  her  native  state  In  the 
wake  of  war.

some  of  his  attention  as  he  prepares 
them  for  occasional  field  trials.  The 
planting  of  the  grounds  and  garden 
at  his  Sedgefield  home  will  pleasantly 
fill  any  spare  moments.  In  spite  of  all 
his  manifold  interests,  he  has  found 
time  in  four  months  of  residence  to 
win  the  friendship  of  faculty  members 
and  students  in  his  department,  to 
participate  in  college  activities  and  to 
estabhsh  himself  as  a  valued  member 
of  the  college  community. 


By  HELEN  INGRAHAM,   Professor  of  Biology 


On  the  first  of  October,  a  station 
wagon  bearing  a  Connecticut  license 
and  containing  a  man,  a  woman,  two 
children,  and  five  dogs  came  into 
Greensboro.  The  man  was  Dr.  Victor 
M.  Cutter,  Jr.,  the  new  head  of  the 
Biology  Department.  It  was  Dr.  Cut- 
ter's third  trip  to  Greensboro.  On  the 
first  he  looked  over  the  College  and 
found  it  good,  on  the  second  he 
bought  a  home  in  Sedgefield  and  on 
the  third  he  came  to  stay. 

Dr.  Cutter  was  born  in  Guatemala 
in  1917,  where  his  father  was  in  busi- 
ness. At  the  age  of  three  months  he 
came  back  to  Boston  to  live.  He  at- 
tended preparatory  school  and  re- 
ceived his  B.A.  from  Dartmouth  in 
193  8,  majoring  in  Biology.  His  Ph.D. 
was  earned  at  Cornell  in  1941.  At 
Cornell  he  was  assistant  and  instruc- 
tor in  Botany.  The  year  1945-46  was 
spent  as  lecturer  in  Botany  at  the 
University  of  Minnesota.  He  then  re- 
turned to  Cornell  for  a  year  before 
accepting  the  position  of  assistant  pro- 
fessor of  Microbiology  at  Yale.  He  was 
made  associate  professor  of  Plant  Sci- 
ence there  before  leaving  to  become 
professor  and  head  of  biology  at 
Woman's   College. 

In  1942,  Dr.  Cutter  was  married 
to  Dr.  Lois  Jotter,  whose  early  years 
were  spent  in  Wisconsin  and  Michi- 
gan. Mrs.  Cutter  did  her  undergrad- 
uate and  graduate  work  at  the  Uni- 
versity of  Michigan.  After  receiving 
her  Ph.D.,  she  was  a  teacher  of  Botany 
until  her  marriage.  The  Cutters  have 
two  children,  Ann  who  is  nine  and  a 
student  at  Curry  School,  and  Victor 
M.  Ill,  two  and  a  half. 


Besides  acting  as  head  of  Biology, 
Dr.  Cutter  will  continue  the  research 
he  has  been  carrying  on  at  Yale.  With 
the  help  of  Mr.  Robert  Loffin,  a 
candidate  for  a  doctorate  at  Yale, 
he  transported  his  entire  laboratory 
equipment  to  the  Science  Building  and 
has    set    it    up   in    the    rooms    formerly 


Dr.  Victor  M.  Cui 


occupied  by  the  division  of  Bacteri- 
ology which  is  now  housed  in  rooms 
on  the  ground  floor  of  one  of  the 
new  wings.  Mr.  Lofiin  will  spend  this 
year  assisting  Dr.  Cutter  as  well  as 
doing  some  work  in  the  Biology  De- 
partment. Under  a  grant  from  the 
American  Cancer  Society,  Dr.  Cutter 
is  isolating  and  culturing  living  nuclei 
of  cells,  a  study  designed  to  help  solve 
some  of  the  mysteries  of  malignant 
growths.  Under  the  sponsorship  of 
the  National  Science  Foundation,  he 
is  isolating  and  studying  plant  rusts. 
With  this  program  of  administra- 
tive work,  teaching  and  research,  it 
may  take  ingenuity  for  Dr.  Cutter  to 
find  time  for  hobbies,  but  it  is  certain 
that   his    dogs    (beagles)    will   demand 


NEWSPAPERMAN 
TURNED  CREATIVE 
WRITER 

By  Lois  Anderson  McIver  '53 


Many  a  newspaperman  has  resolved 
countless  times  to  give  up  beats  and  dead- 
lines tor  a  big  try  at  creative  writing. 

Jackson  Burgess,  once  a  reporter  for 
the  Chicago  News,  is  one  who  has  made 
the  clean  break  and  seems  headed  in  the 
direction  of  dream  fulfillment. 

Burgess  is  beginning  his  new  career  as 
a  graduate  assistant  in  the  Woman  s  Col- 
lege EngLsh  Department  in  the  depart- 
ment   of   creative    writing. 

Although  Burgess  has  never  let  up  in 
his  ambition  to  become  a  writer,  his  ex- 
perience has  ranged  from  the  battle  fields 
of  Italy  to  hospital  work  in  Chicago.  In 
1947  he  was  an  editor  and  feature  writer 
for  the  public  relations  section  of  the 
88th  Division  Army  in  Italy.  This  past 
year  while  doing  long  deferred  graduate 
work  at  the  University  of  Chicago  he 
worked  as  a  medical  technician  in  a  large 
Chicago  hospital. 

After  Burgess  came  out  of  the  Army 
in  1947,  he  plunged  into  newspaper 
work.  For  the  Newport  News  Daily  Press 
he  covered  the  police  courts  and  sports. 
In  1948  he  went  to  the  Chicago  News 
where  he  was  copy  reader,  a  make-up 
editor,    and    a    sports    writer. 

Burgess  came  to  Greensboro  in  Sep- 
tember from  the  University  of  Chicago 
where  he  received  an  A.B.  degree  last 
year.  His  homeland,  however,  is  the 
South.  He  was  born  in  Atlanta,  and 
finished  high  school  in  Florida  where  he 
had  his  first  job  with  a  newspaper  as  a 
copy   boy. 

North  Carolina,  too.  has  some  back- 
ground for  Burgess.  As  a  boy  he  lived  in 
Ashcville. 

The  former  medical  technician  and 
newspaperman  has  had  much  to  en- 
courage him  in  the  field  of  creative  writ- 
ing. Burgess  has  won  two  outstanding 
literary  awards.  In  1951  and  1952  he 
received  $250  and  $1,000  respectively 
from  the  Ogla  and  Paul  Mcnn  Found- 
ation  for  short  story  writing. 

A  Woman's  College  writer.  Peter  Tay- 
lor, on  leave  to  teach  at  University  of 
Chicago,  was  instrumental  in  turning 
Burgess   southward   again.

THEME  OF  FORUM 


MIDDLE  EAST  TENSIONS 


Columbia,  Princeton,  and  Rochester 
Universities  provided  the  key  speakers 
for  the  sixth  annual  Harriet  Elliott 
Social  Science  Forum  at  the  Woman's 
College  November  21. 

"Tensions  in  the  Middle  East"  was 
the  theme  for  the  forum,  this  year 
condensed  to  a  one-day  event. 

Dr.  Cornelis  Willem  de  Kiewiet, 
president  of  Rochester  University,  his- 
torian, an  expert  on  British  foreign 
policy,  acted  as  forum  moderator.  Dr. 
de  Kiewiet  was  educated  at  Johannes- 
burg, London,  Paris  and  Berlin.  He 
taught  in  Southern  Rhodesia,  the  Uni-

BORDEN  PAMPHLET  OF 
DRIED  MILK  RECIPES 
FROM  WOMAN'S 
COLLEGE 

By  Anne  (Cantrell)  White  '22 

Greensboro  Daily  News   Woman's  Editor 

The  26  southern  recipes  in  a  httle 
pamplet  just  issued  by  Borden  Company 
were  developed  through  experiments  at 
Woman's  College  under  direction  of  a 
musician. 

Pianist  Evelyn  Howell,  who  studied 
music  at  Wesleyan  College  in  Macon, 
Ga.,  and  Peabody  Conservatory  in  Balti- 
more, taught  piano  before  deciding  to  go 
back   to  school   for  a  home  economics  de- 

But  cooking  won  over  counterpoint  in 
a  big  way.  After  the  B.  S.  from 
Woman's  College,  Miss  Howell  went  on 
to  a  master  of  science  at  Carolina  and  for 
four  years  was  head  of  home  economics 
at  Peace  Junior  College,  Raleigh,  before 
joining  the  local  faculty.  She  now  is  an 
associate  professor  in  the  School  of  Home 
Economics. 

The  grant  from  Borden  carried  the  ex- 
periment in  use  of  nonfat  dry  milk  in 
certain  typically  southern  dishes  over  a 
period  of  two  years.  The  Woman's  Col- 
lege work  was  far  more  than  testing.  In 
substituting  dry  nonfat  milk  for  fresh 
milk  there  had  to  be  compensating  pro- 
portions, some  change  in  ingredients  and 
cooking  time,  and  much  research  in  any 
case.  Both  students  and  faculty  in  the 
school  of  home  economics  took  part  in 
the  work,  and  in  being  guinea  pigs. 
Borden  retested  before  issuing  the  pam- 
phlet of  recipes  and  a  selection  of  menus 
combine  "regional  favorites  with  sound 
nutrition,  economy,  and  ease  in  prepara- 
tion." 

Miss  Howell,  who  was  dean  of  girls 
at  the  State  School  for  the  Blind  in 
Raleigh  a  year  between  city  school  piano 
teaching  in  Greenville,  N.  C  and  her 
scientific  career,  says  that  the  project  was 
not  undertaken  primarily  with  an  eye  to 
economy.  She  learned  that  there  are  more 
places  than  one  would  think,  some  even 
in  the  United  States,  where  safe  milk  is 
not  delivered  to  the  door.  Dry  milk  in 
those  cases  becomes  important  as  it  is 
a  source  of  protein,  calcium,  riborflavin. 
and  lactose.  And  for  those  concerned 
about  the  rising  price  of  "milk  on  the 
hoof,"  there's  the  evidence  that  the  dry 
product  will  yield  nonfat  milk  for  as 
little   as   nine   cents   a   quart. 

The  recipes  tested  in  the  Woman's 
College  laboratories  and  home  manage- 
ment houses  contained  each  with  its  sug- 
gested menu,  in  the  attractive  booklet 
whose  cover  bears  the  sketch  of  a  col- 
umned  southern   home   are   as    follows: 

Fish  stew  (South  Carolina  style) , 
cream  of  tomato  soup,  cream  of  potato 
soup,  cream  of  corn  soup,  oyster  stew. 
Eastern  North  Carolina  fish  chowder, 
corn  pudding,  escalloped  potatoes  and 
ham,  salmon  souffle,  southern  biscuits, 
corn  meal  muffins,  spoon  bread,  hush 
puppies,  yeast  rolls,  white  potato  rolls, 
yam  rolls,  Sally  Lunn.  cream  gravy,  salad 
dressing,  soft  custard  pie.  sweet  potato 
custard  pie,  sweet  potato  pie.  grated  sweet 


potato     pudding,     and     black     walnut 
cookies. 

The  menu  recommended  for  hush 
puppies  (and  there  is  a  footnote  telling 
the  popular  version  of  how  the  hush 
puppy  got  its  name)  calls  for  fried  fish, 
steamed  potatoes,  turnip  greens,  tomato 
aspic  salad,  lemon  meringue  pie.  and 
cofi^ce.

College  Bakery

Editor's  Note:  Recipes  in  the  May 
issue  of  the  Alumnae  News  proved  so 
popular  that  several  additional  ones  have 
been  requested  by  alumnae.  The  follow-
