Commencement  1949  promises 
to  be  a  gay  occasion.  A  number  of 
class  reunions  are  planned  and  Alum- 
nae Day,  Saturday,  May  28,  will  be 
filled  to  the  brim  with  activities. 

Dr.  Francis  P.  Gaines,  President 
of  Washington  and  Lee  University, 
Lexington,  Va.,  will  deliver  the  Bac- 
calaureate Sermon,  Sunday,  May  29, 
at  eleven  o'clock,  in  Aycock  Audi- 
torium. Dr.  Gaines,  a  noted  educa- 
tor and  orator,  will  be  heard  by  sen- 
iors, faculty,  families  and  friends  of 
Woman's   College. 

Dr.  Jackson's  Decision  to  remain 
as  Woman's  College  Chancellor  for 
another  year  has  been  received  with 
real  joy  and  deep  gratitude.  We  an- 
nounced in  the  February  Alumnae 
News     that    a    dinner    honoring    Dr. 


Jackson  had  been  planned  for  May  17. 
Plans  for  the  occasion  were  cancelled 
when  the  University  Board  of  Trus- 
tees requested  him  to  stay  on,  but  the 
committee  from  the  faculty  and  alum- 
nae will  plan  a  similar  affair  probably 
next  fall. 

The  Vocational  Guidance  Con- 
ference, the  project  of  the  sopho- 
more class,  assisted  by  the  Alumnae 
Association,  was  a  real  success  and, 
we  hope,  the  beginning  of  an  annual 
event.  We  are  truly  grateful  to  the 
alumnae  and  others  who  contributed 
their  time  and  efforts  toward  making 
the   day   successful. 

All  of  Your  Friends  at  Wom- 
an's College  are  expecting  you  for 
Commencement  this  year.  Don't  dis- 
appoint us. 

Alumnae  Returning  for  Com- 
mencement will  be  housed  without 
charge,  of  course,  in  Gray  and  Gotten 
Halls.  Come  Friday  night  and  stay 
through  Monday  if  possible.  We'll  be 
looking  for  you. 


Open  House:  As  the  Alumnae 
News  goes  to  press  plans  are  being 
made  by  the  alumnae  social  commit- 
tee to  have  open  house  for  the  sen- 
iors following  their  last  class  meet- 
ing May  5,  in  the  Alumnae  House. 
This  will  be  the  social  occasion  wel- 
coming the  class  of  1949  into  the 
Association.

The  Alumnae  News 


Dr.  Graham  Accepts  Appointment 

to  United  States  Senate 


News  of  Dr.  Frank  Porter  Gra- 
ham's appointment  to  the  United 
States  Senate  and  his  subsequent  resig- 
nation as  President  of  the  Consoli- 
dated University  of  North  Carolina 
brought  mixed  emotions  to  Alumnae 
of  the  Woman's  College  —  regret  in 
the  loss  of  our  great  University  leader 
and  pride  in  having  the  State  of  North 
Carolina  represented  by  her  outstand- 
ing liberal,  intellectual  and  humani- 
tarian. 

Dr.  Graham's  appointment  to  fill 
the  Senatorial  vacancy  brought  about 
by  the  untimely  death  of  Senator  J. 
M.  Broughton,  was  announced  by 
Governor  W.  Kerr  Scott  at  the  O. 
Max  Gardner  Award  Dinner  in  Chapel 
Hill,  March  22,  1949.  In  attendance 
at  the  dinner  were  the  members  of  the 
University  Board  of  Trustees  and 
members  of  the  faculties  of  State  Col- 
lege, Woman's  College  and  Carolina. 
Climaxing  the  event  which  honored 
Miss  Louise  Alexander  as  the  out- 
standing teacher  at  the  three  units  of 
the  University,  the  announcement  of 
Dr.  Graham's  appointment  made  the 
occasion  one  of  genuine  triumph  for 
education. 

Public  recognition  is  not  always  ac- 
companied by  humility,  but  Dr.  Gra- 
ham's selfless  life  as  teacher,  admin- 
istrator, peacemaker,  and  arbiter  has 
been  marked  by  deep  faith  in  human 
beings  and  consummate  humility.  He 
has  been  consistent  in  his  efforts  to 
help  make  the  world  a  better  place — 
one  in  which  all  freedoms  are  guar- 
anteed to  all  people.  Dr.  Graham 
goes  to  Washington  with  an  under- 
standmg  and  knowledge  of  national 
and  world  affairs,  for  already  he  has 
been  given  important  posts  by  Presi- 
dent Roosevelt  and  President  Tru- 
man. He  was  successively  vice-chair- 
m3n  of  the  N.  R.  A.  Consumer's 
Board,  chairman  of  the  National  Ad- 
visory Council  to  the  Cabinet  Com- 
mittee on  Economic  Security,  mem- 
ber of  the  President's  Committee  on 
Education,  vice-chairman  of  the  Na- 
tional Defense  Mediation  Board,  mem- 
ber of  the  War  Labor  Board,  United 
States  representative  on  the  "Good 
Offices"  Committee  of  the  United 
Nations  to  facilitate  the  settlement  of 


Dr.  and  Mrs.  Frank  Porter  Graham 


the  Indonesian  problem,  and  presi- 
cent  of  the  Oak  Ridge  Institute  of 
Nuclear  Studies. 

No  better  picture  of  Frank  Gra- 
h.-,m,  the  man,  has  come  from  the 
press  than  the  following  editorial  by 
Jonathan  Daniels,  editor,  which  was 
published  in  the  Raleigh  News  and 
Observer  March  23,  1949. 

"Our  Hearts  swell  With 
gladness" 

Senator  Graham. 

The  name  and  the  title  stand  splen- 
didly   together   in    North   Carolina. 

Governor  Scott  could  have  chosen  no 
citizen  who  better  represented  at  one  and 
the  same  time  the  Go  Forward  spirit  and 
the  continuity  of  a  high  Carolina  tra- 
dition. Certainly,  he  could  have  chosen 
no  man  better  equipped  for  the  highest 
democratic  dealing  with  the  tremendous 
problems  of  our  times  in  this  State,  this 
nation,  and  this  world. 


The  name  Graham  is  almost  a  sub- 
stantive noun  for  service  in  North  Caro- 
lina. It  was  a  Graham  who  recalled  in 
his  old  age  the  high  faith  in  freedom 
which  he  and  others  put  into  the  Meck- 
lenburg Declaration  of  Independence.  He 
was  merely  the  first  of  the  Grahams  de- 
voted to  the  service  of  a  free  people. 
There  is  a  contemporary  sound  in  a 
sentence  from  the  biography  of  William 
Alexander  Graham,  who  a  century  ago 
was  Senator,  Governor,  and  Secretary  of 
the  Navy.  In  the  Senate  "his  career  was 
marked  by  earnest  and  intelligent  advo- 
cacy of  internal  improvements  and  public 
education."  It  is  a  family  in  which  states- 
manship and  the  schoolhouse  have  been 
combined.  Frank  Graham's  own  father, 
Alexander  Graham,  came  home  from  serv- 
ice as  a  Confederate  soldier  to  devote  a 
long  life  to  teaching  generations  of  North 
Carolinians,  Frank  Grahams  predecessor 
and  cousin  at  Chapel  Hill,  Edward  Kid- 
der Graham,  founded  the  faith  which 
Frank  Graham  has  fulfilled  that  a  State 
University  is  not  merely  a  college  for 
students  but  an  institution  inclusive  of 
the  whole  life  of  a  State. 


May,   1949 


Certainly,  no  living  North  Carolinian 
can  question  Governor  Scott's  judgment 
in  finding  in  Frank  Graham  a  true  Go 
Forward  comrade  in  his  program  for  the 
welfare  of  the  people  of  this  day.  Indeed, 
in  the  generation  of  living  North  Caro- 
linians he  has  been  the  clearest  living  sym- 
bol of  full  faith  in  the  powers  of  the  peo- 
ple and  the  most  vital  advocate  of  full 
and  equal  opportunity  for  them  all — and 
everyone — "to  burqeon  out  all  that  there 
is  within  him."  That  has  not  been  an 
easy  faith.  Durin?  recent  legislative  weeks 
there  were  practical  men  who  wondered 
why  Frank  Graham  was  unwilling  to 
fight  for  the  University  alone  but  save  his 
zeal  also  to  appropriations  for  health  and 
the  public  schools,  roads  aid  the  public 
welfare.  His  willingness  to  fight  for  every 
cause  which  seemed  to  him  good  has 
brought  him  enemies  and  smears  —  but 
fortunately  smears  which  fell  of  their 
own  weight  against  the  stone  wall  of 
North  Carolina's  faith  in  him  and  affec- 
tion for  him.  He  is  and  always  has  been 
a  man  best  loved  by  those  who  know 
him    best. 

As  important  as  the  Carolina  and 
Christian  tradition  and  faith  upon  which 
he  stands  is  the  equipment  for  great  na- 
tional service  which  he  possesses.  Hardly 
any  North  Carolinian  of  this  generation 
has  been  called  upon  for  so  much  selfless 
service  by  his  country.  Yet  few  North 
Carolinians  have  been  able  to  keep  so 
direct  and  strong  their  lines  of  service  to 
so  many  people  at  home.  Frank  Graham 
has  been  able  to  work  in  Indonesia  and 
yet  remember  the  problems  of  a  boy  or 
a  teacher,  a  girl  or  a  cause  in  small  towns 
and  cities  in  North  Carolina.  He  is 
equally  at  home  at  the  country  gathering 
and  the  international  conference  table.  He 
has  won  the  enmity  of  commissars  in  the 
world  debate  without  ever  losing  the 
common  touch  with  .scholars  and  chil- 
dren, poor  people  and  big  people  at  home. 
No  man  North  Carolina  could  send  to 
the  Senate  today  would  carry  to  it  more 
knowledge  of  the  problems  which  will 
face  it  and  upon  which  depend  the  hope 
and  security  of  his  own  people  than  this 
small,  simple,  strong  man  from  Chapel 
Hill. 

He  was  drafted  for  the  Senate  in  dis- 
regard of  all  the  political  contenders  by 
Governor  Scott  at  a  fortunate  time. 
Though  the  work  of  building  a  great 
University  system  will  never  be  ended, 
Frank  Graham  has  brought  the  process 
of  consolidation  to  a  point  where  its  con- 
tinuing success  is  assured.  He  has  not  only 
led  in  the  building  of  a  great  technical 
institution  at  Raleigh,  a  splendid  Wo- 
man's College  at  Greensboro  and  a  liberal 
University  at  Chapel  Hill,  but  he  has  also 
added  to  the  faith  of  the  people  in  that 
institution,  which  is  more  essential  to  it 
even  than  appropriations.  The  task  has 
reached  the  point  where  his  assignment  to 
a  greater  task  comes  with  the  naturalness 
of  greatness  in  the  service  of  a  people. 

The  choice  is  excellent.  It  may  be  even 
more  important  in  North  Carolina  that 
the  choice  also  proves  the  statesmanship 
of  Governor  Scott.  There  had  been  some 
impatience  with  his  delay  in  appointing  a 
worthy  successor  to  Senator  J.  Melville 
Broughton.    Much  of  that  impatience  rep- 


resented not  merely  the  competitive  eager- 
ness of  politicians,  but  a  fear  by  the  peo- 
ple that  the  Governor  was  playing  poli- 
tics among  them.  The  appointment  of 
Graham  will  dispel  the  people's  fear. 
And  time  will  reveal  the  steadfastness 
with  which  the  Governor  sought  the  ac- 
ceptance of  the  one  man  whom  he  be- 
lieved best  qualified  in  mind  and  spirit  to 
represent  the  people  of  North  Carolina  in 
the  solution  of  the  problems  of  the 
world. 

By  his  choice  Governor  Scott  lifts  the 
spirit  and  the  faith  of  North  Carolina 
people  in  their  destiny  to  go  forward 
toward  the  fulfillment  of  the  best  that  is 
within  them.  By  his  choice  he  gives  the 
nation  a  Senator  who  will  be  recognized 
for  his  weight,  his  wisdom,  and  his  worth 
from  the  moment  of  his  appointment. 
Senator  Graham  will  be  able  to  do  much 
out  of  great  understanding  for  the  people 
of  North  Carolina  and  the  South.  He 
will  do  most  for  them  and  for  men  every- 
where, however,  as  a  devout  and  devoted 
advocate    of    freedom    and    peace.     Gover- 


nor Scott  has  not  merely  well  served 
North  Carolina.  He  has  given  in  the  de- 
cisive council  of  the  free  world  today,  a 
vote  which  will  never  be  cast  except  for 
the  decency,  the  productivity,  the  happi- 
ness,   and    the   peace   of   mankind. 

By  no  means  the  least  of  those  as- 
sets which  the  departure  of  Dr.  Gra- 
ham takes  from  North  CaroHna  to 
Washington  is  Mrs.  Graham  herself. 
Her  charm,  friendliness,  intelligence, 
and  loyalty  to  the  University  and  to 
the  State  have  complemented  Dr. 
Graham's  immeasurable  contribution 
to  us. 

It  is  the  hope  of  the  Alumnae  of 
the  Woman's  College  that  in  foster- 
ing the  principles  of  freedom,  faith 
in  humanity,  and  service  to  the  state 
and  nation,  our  college  will  always  be 
a  credit  to  Dr.  Graham  and  his  de- 
votion   to    these   ideals. 


A  Letter  from  Chancellor  Jackson 


Dear  Alumnae: 

1  had  expected  that  this  would  be 
a  good-bye  message.  All  my  plans  had 
been  made  to  retire  July  1.  On  March 
22  President  Graham  was  appointed  to 
the  United  States  Senate.  Immediately 
I  was  approached  by  some  of  the  trus- 
tees and  asked  if  I  would  agree  to  re- 
main here  another  year.  I  said  that  I 
did  not  want  to  do  so.  Upon  further 
conversation  I  said  that  I  would  not 
even  consider  the  question  unless  it 
was  cleared  with  the  committees — 
trustee,  alumnae,  and  faculty  —  that 
were  considering  recommendations  for 
my  successor.  Not  knowing  what 
these  committees  had  done  or  were 
doing,  it  might  be  that  I  would  un- 
wittingly complicate  their  problem. 
These  committees  were  consulted  and 
I  was  told  that  all  three  of  them 
unanimously  recommended  that  I  be 
asked  to  remain  one  more  year.  The 
Executive  Committee  then  requested 
it,  and  I  thought  it  my  duty  to  com- 
ply. So,  the  farewell  message  is  briefly 
postponed. 

The  faculty  and  students  have  been 
generous  beyond  belief  in  pledging 
help  to  me  for  next  year.  All  of  us 
will  do  our  best  to  insure  a  good  year. 
We  want  and  need  the  continued  help 
of  the  alumnae. 

One  of  the  reasons  that  weighed 
heavily  with  me  in  making  a  decision 
was  the  opportunity  to  have  a  further 
part    in    the    great    building    program 


now  in  progress.  You  will  recall  that 
during  the  past  year  we  built  a  new 
laundry,  a  beautiful  soda  shop,  and 
partially  completed  the  renovation  of 
the  dining  halls.  That  renovation  job 
will  be  completed  this  summer.  A 
magnificent  million-dollar  library  is 
in  course  of  rapid  construction.  Con- 
tract has  been  let  and  ground  broken 
already  for  a  new  dormitory  that  will 
be  a  duplicate  of  Weil  and  Winfield, 
though  with  the  wings  of  the  new 
building  paralleling  the  center  part  of 
the  building  instead  of  at  right  angles 
as  in  Weil  and  Winfield.  This  build- 
ing is  facing  the  driveway  in  front  of 
Coit  Hall  and  north  of  Kirkland. 
Plans  are  being  completed  for  a  mil- 
l!on-dollar  home  economics  building. 
We  hope  to  open  bids  for  that  build- 
ing within  sixty  or  ninety  days. 

The  last  General  Assembly  gave  us 
in  addition  to  all  this,  adequate  appro- 
priations for  a  student  union  building, 
a  new  infirmary,  a  new  gymnasium, 
the  enlargement  of  the  science  build- 
ing, a  nursery  school,  conversion  of 
the  present  library  to  a  classroom 
building,  renovation  of  Curry,  and 
campus  improvements  in  roads,  etc., 
etc.  Permanent  improvements  for  the 
last  biennium  and  the  present  total 
considerably  more  than  seven  million 
dollars.  That  is  a  goodly  sum  for  us 
and  will  provide  well  for  our  campus 
needs  for  a  long  time.    We  propose  to 


The  Alumnae  News 


push  construction  on  all  these  plans 
just  as  rapidly  as  possible.  This  will 
be  a  major  part  of  my  task  for  next 
year. 

W'e  are  also  in  the  midst  of  work- 
ing out  our  salary  schedule  for  next

Miss  Alexander  Receives 

First  O.  Max  Gardner  Award 


ALetterfromOurPresident 

Dear   Alumnae: 

Days  as  Alumnae  President  roll  by 
as  swiftly  as  college  days! 

Some  things  I  had  hoped  to  see  ac- 
complished in  my  tenure  of  office  are 
still  on  the  unfinished  list,  but  much 
has  been  done,  thanks  to  your  inter- 
est and  help — and  that  of  our  inde- 
fatigable executive  secretary,  Betty 
Brown  Jester,  and  her  assistant,  Evon 
Dean. 

I  beheve  that  you  will  agree  that 
the  most  thrilling  single  report  is  that 
121  meetings  of  alumnae  have  been 
held  since  October  1,  from  Boston  to 
St.  Petersburg,  and  west  to  Chicago. 
With  such  interest  and  cooperation, 
I  am  sure  the  part  of  alumnae  of 
Woman's  College  in  the  future  growth 
and  development  of  the  college  is  as- 
sured. 

Whatever  the  alumnae  have  done — 
in  the  field,  working  with  the  college 
students,  or  in  the  office,  we  have  had 
the  encouragement  and  backing  of 
Dr.  Jackson.  He  has  made  us  all  feel 
strongly  that  no  matter  where  we  are 
or  what  we  are  doing,  we  will  always 
be  important  to  our  college. 

I  urge  you  to  continue  to  support 
the  incoming  president,  and  thank  you 
again  for  the  fine  way  you  have 
helped  me. 

Sincerely, 

Alumnae  President 


Louise  Brevard  Alexander 


Miss  Louise  Brevard  Alexander, 
professor  of  political  science  at  Wom- 
an's College  for  fourteen  years,  was 
given  the  first  Oliver  Max  Gardner 
Award  at  a  dinner  honoring  her 
M.irch  22,  1949,  in  Lenoir  Hall  at 
Chapel  Hill.  As  the  will  of  Oliver 
Max  Gardner  reads,  "To  that  member 
of  the  faculty  of  the  Consolidated 
University  of  North  Carolina  who, 
during  the  current  scholastic  year,  has 
made  the  greatest  contribution  to  the 
welfare  of  the  human  race,"  the 
award  was  made  to  "Miss  Alex"  for 
her   distinguished   teaching. 

The  Woman's  College  is  proud  to 
share  this  high  honor  with  "Miss 
Alex"  and  we  are  grateful  to  her  for 
her  praiseworthy  representation  of  the 
teaching   profession. 

The  award  was  a  check  for  the  in- 
come from  $25,000  which  was  pre- 
sented to  Miss  Alexander  by  Mr.  J. 
Spencer  Love,  chairman  of  the  com- 
mittee from  the  Board  of  Trustees, 
who  made  the  selection. 


Present  at  the  dinner  were  the  fac- 
ulties of  the  three  units  of  the  Great- 
er University  and  members  of  the 
Board    of    Trustees.     Governor    Kerr 

Scott  presided. 

From  the  brochure  which  was  pre- 
sented to  each  guest  at  the  dinner 
we  quote: 

'Go  and  Teach,"  the  mandate  of  the 
Master-Teacher,  is  somewhat  in  need  of 
re-emphasis  today,  particularly  in  the 
realm  of  Higher  Education.  Research, 
publication  and  public  lecturing  are  so 
requisite  to  the  life  and  work  of  a  real 
university  that  at  times  they  tend  to 
overshadow  the  equally  important  work 
of    the   classroom. 

"The  laboratory,  the  typewriter,  and 
the  rostrum  have  become  the  royal  roads 
to  scholarly  pre-eminence  and  national 
recognition:  but  there  arc  still  many  no- 
ble souls  who  achieve  academic  canoni- 
zation  the  hard   way:   Teaching. 

"A  university  must  promote  the  con- 
stant search  and  research  for  new  truths: 
it  must  assure  the  publication  and  dissem- 
ination of  this  new  knowledge;  but  it 
must  never  de-emphasize  its  responsibility 
to   teach. 


May,   1949 


"Great  teachers  and  great  scientists 
are  so  much  in  demand  nowadays  that 
they  are  apt  to  be  lured  away  from  their 
first  love:  classroom  teaching,  and  the 
result  is  an  irreparable  loss  to  the  students. 

"Great  teachers  are  needed  today  as 
never  before.  Education  has  been  indicted 
for  failing  to  save  the  world  from  two 
global  wars  within  a  period  of  twenty- 
five  years.  Perhaps  there  is  some  justice 
in  the  indictment:  yet,  many  people  still 
look  to  Education  as  the  great  hope  for 
avoiding  a   third  world   war. 

"The  moral  anemia  of  the  world  to- 
day may  be  attributed  to  the  war,  to 
wide-spread  religious  indifference,  to  the 
partial  disintegration  of  the  family  and 
home  life;  but,  whatever  the  causes,  our 
universities  and  colleges  must  tackle  the 
job  of  trying  to  cure  it,  before  it  ulti- 
mately  destroys   us. 

"Faith  and  hope  in  the  hearts  and 
minds  of  our  youth  are  the  best  antitox- 
ins to  immunize  against  this  pernicious 
epidemic.  This  job  must  be  done  by  our 
university   and   college   teachers. 

"Young  people  coming  to  college,  cut- 
ting away  from  the  family  ties  and  the 
home-church,  need  piloting  by  great 
teachers.  Sound  instruction  alone  in  his- 
tory, mathematics,  chemistry,  et  cetera,  is 
not  enough.  The  task  demands  more 
than  zealous  exactitude  in  the  specific  sub- 
ject matter.  The  great  teacher  helps  the 
student   find   himself    or   herself. 

"Some  young  college  students  are  apt 
to  revel  in  sophomoric  sophistication. 
Doubt,  skepticism,  iconoclasm,  and  cyni- 
cism may  seem  ultra-smart  to  immature 
minds.  The  old  creeds  they  learned  at 
home  often  lose  their  power.  Idolatrous 
ideologies  are  working  to  proselyte  the 
idealism  of  youth.  These  ideologies  may 
confuse  and  lure  the  young  man  or  young 
woman  who  is  seeking  recognition  by 
the  world  about  them.  They  chase  some 
will-o-the-wisp  to  attract  attention  to 
themselves,  to  make  news  —  mistaking 
notoriety   for   appreciation. 

"Good  teachers  are  a  godsend  to  young 
people  at  this  topsy-turvy  stage  in  their 
development.  Indifferent,  unsympathetic 
instructors  can  intensify  the  frustration  of 
youth.  Understanding,  inspiring  teach- 
ers can  help  these  energetic  and  dynamic 
young  people  develop  into  intelligent, 
happy,  useful  citizens.  The  job  is  hard. 
It  requires  teachers  with  knowledge,  wis- 
dom, prudence,  patience,  understanding, 
unselfishness.  That  is  the  kind  of  teacher 
we  must  have  if  our  civilization  is  to 
survive. 

"And  that  is  the  kind  of  teacher  the 
Trustees  have  selected  in  making  the  first 
Oliver  Max  Gardner  Award.  A  great 
teacher  is  being  honored  because  of  her 
teaching  —  Louise  Brevard  Alexander, 
Teacher,  has  been  adjudged,  by  the  Trus- 
tees, to  be  'that  member  of  the  faculty 
of  the  Consolidated  University  of  North 
Carolina  who  in  the  past  academic  year 
has  made  the  greatest  contribution  to  the 
human    race.' 

'Miss  Alex,'  as  she  is  known  to 
everyone  who  has  come  under  her  inspir- 
ing influence,  is  a  'born  teacher'.  She  has 
devoted  her  life  to  teaching  and  she  has 
devoted  her  teaching  to  life.  Her  influence 
extends  beyond   the   classroom.     She  lives

in  the  lives  of  her  students  and  former 
students.  And,  because  she  teaches  gov- 
ernment and  political  science  with  the 
idea  of  helping  her  students  develop  into 
citizens,  she  lives  in  the  everyday  life  of 
North  Carolina,  the  South,  and  the  Na-

well-being. 

"Fourteen  years  ago,  again  on  January 
3  0,  Miss  Alexander  came  to  Woman's 
College.  She  has  been  a  masterful  teacher. 
Scholarly,  conscientious,  thorough,  dy- 
namic, inspiring  —  she  is  a  teacher  in  the 
noblest  senses  of  the  word.  She  is  the 
kind  of  teacher  we  need  if  this  awry 
world  is  to  be  set  aright.  Louise  Brevard 
Alexander  has  earned  the  title  'Great 
Teacher,'  and  as  a  great  teacher,  she  has 
earned  the  first  Oliver  Max  Gardner 
Award."

Sixth  Annual  Arts  Forum 
is  Held  at  Woman's  College 


The  Sixth  Annual  Arts  Forum  at  the 
Woman's  College.  March  17-19.  was  at- 
tended by  two  hundred  students  from 
thirty-five  colleges  and  universities. 

Original  student  works  in  art,  music, 
drama,  writing,  and  the  dance  were  pre- 
sented and  discussed  by  such  experienced 
and  talented  critics  as:  Henry  Cowell, 
composer  and  concert  pianist:  Peter  Tay- 
lor, writer  and  teacher  of  writing:  Louis 
Horst,  composer  of  music  for  the  dance 
and  teacher  of  dance  composition:  Walter 
Prichard  Eaton.  Yale  teacher  of  playwrit- 
ing:  Jean  Stafford,  novelist  and  short 
story  writer:  Richard  Wilbur,  poet,  and 
James  Johnson  Sweeney,  Harvard  art 
critic   and   teacher. 

This  year's  forum  attracted  more  stu- 
dent contributions  than  ever  before.  Hun- 
dreds of  visiting  students  from  scores  of 
colleges  joined  2,100  Woman's  College 
students  in  attending  the  eleven  separate 
events   on   the   program. 

Highlights  of  the  forum  were  the  per- 
formance of  four  one-act  plays,  a  writing 
forum,  a  performance  of  choreography 
by  ten  college  dance  groups,  a  recital  of 
student  compositions,  and  an  exhibition 
of  student  oil  and  watercolors,  etchings, 
sculpture,  lithographs,  wood  cuts  and 
engravings,  serigraphs,  drawings,  and 
textile  designs.  There  also  was  an  exhi- 
bition of  work  by  contemporary  sculp- 
tors, an  exhibition  of  student  work  from 
Woman's  College  Art  Department,  an  ex- 
hibition of  photography  by  Woman's 
College  physics  students,  and  concerts  in 
the  dance  and  contemporary  American 
composers  by  Woman's  College  dance  and 
chamber  music   ensembles. 

The  student  writings  critized  by  the 
forum  leaders  appeared  in  the  forum  issue 
of  the  Corradi,  Woman's  College  literary 
quarterly. 

No  prizes  were  offered,  nor  were  any 
awards  made  at  the  forum.  The  only  ob- 
jective was  the  stimulation  of  original 
work   by   students. 

Students  exhibiting  art  in  various 
media  represented  the  following  colleges 
and  universities:  School  of  the  Art 
Institute  of  Chicago,  oil  painting:  School 
of  the  Boston  Museum  of  Fine  Arts, 
etchings:  The  Cooper  Union  Art  School,

sign, oil  painting  and  charcoal  drawing:

paintings:  Teachers  College  of  Columbia 
University,  lithographs:  University  of 
Wisconsin,   oil  paintings. 

Nineteen  student  writers  heard  their 
stories  and  poems  read  and  critized. 
The  stories  were  written  by  students 
from  University  of  Alabama,  Duke 
University,  Indiana  University,  State 
University  of  Iowa,  University  of  Miami,

imental one-act  plays.  The  plays  were:

du  Coeur."  by  James  Geiger  of  the  Uni- 
versity of  North  Carolina:  "The  Spice

College:  and  "Let  No  Man  Put  Asun- 
der," by  Sally  Nissley  and  Sue  Reed,  of

Addition  Will   be  Made 

to  Home  Economics 

Building 

Working  plans  for  an  addition  to  the 
Home  Economics  Building  at  Woman's 
College  are  in  process  of  preparation  by 
the  firm  of  Northrup  and  O'Brien,  Win- 
ston-Salem architects.  The  building  is  ex- 
pected to  cost  approximately  $1,000,000. 

To  be  of  brick  with  marble  trim,  the 
building  will  be  a  three-story  structure 
facing  the  new  college  library  to  form  a 
large  new  quadrangle.  It  will  measure 
5  6  by  3  22  feet.  On  the  ground  floor  will 
be  a  kitchen,  dining  room,  classrooms, 
and  a  lecture  room  seating  240  persons. 
The  second  floor  and  third  floor  will 
feature  lounges,  classrooms  and  labora- 
tories, research  laboratories,  a  locker 
room,    offices,    and   project   rooms. 

Actually  an  addition  to  the  present 
home  economics  building,  the  new  struc- 
ture will  be  many  times  larger.  An  ap- 
propriation of  $1,025,000  has  been 
made  by  the  General  Assembly  for  the 
construction    of   the   building. 

Greatly  expanded  activities  in  home 
economics  in  recent  years  have  made  the 
new  structure  necessary  for  the  college's 
program.

Burnsville  School  of  Fine  Arts 

WillBe  Open  July4  -  August  27 


The  Burnsville  School  of  Fine  Arts, 
located  in  the  heart  of  North  Carolina's 
most  scenic  mountain  section,  offers  train- 
ing and  college  credit  in  Art.  Music. 
Drama,  and  Education.  July  4 — August 
27. 

The  Burnsville  School  of  Fine  Arts 
was  conceived  as  a  means  of  assembling 
students,  teachers,  and  devotees  of  the  arts 
in  a  pleasant  and  suitable  region  of  West- 
cm  North  Carolina  for  the  purpose  of 
developing  their  aptitudes  and  tastes  and 
furnishing  first-rate  entertainment  to  the 
people  of  that  area  and  their  many  sum- 
mer tourist  visitors.  Western  North  Car- 
olina is  rich  in  the  lore  and  traditions  of 
art  and  its  miraculous  beauty  is  fit  in- 
spiration for  those  who  need  cultural 
things   for   full   living. 

Dr.  Frank  Porter  Graham,  President 
of  the  Greater  University  of  North  Car- 
olina, who  has  throughout  his  long  serv- 
ice to  his  state  realized  the  value  of  the 
humanities  as  well  as  practical  considera- 
tions in  living  as  evidenced  by  his  sup- 
port to  such  projects  as  "The  Lost  Col- 
ony" at  Manteo.  N.  C  approved  the  no- 
tion of  a  similar  development  in  Wes- 
tern North  Carolina.  In  his  eager  en- 
thusiasm he  gave  wise  and  valuable  sug- 
gestions in  the  planning  of  the  venture 
and  convinced  the  Carnegie  Foundation 
that  it  was  worth  considerable  financial 
support.  Because  of  his  single  handed 
intervention  a  substantial  grant  was 
forthcoming    from    this    foundation. 

The  citizens  of  the  Burnsville  com 
munity.  lead  by  their  dynamic  Superin- 
tendent of  Education.  Mr.  Frank  Howell, 
were  inspired  to  provide  the  practical 
support  and  means  for  inaugurating  the 
school.  These  means  took  the  form  of  a 
splendid  playhouse  and  ample  facilities 
for  getting  the  work  off  to  a  good  start. 
The  accomplishment  would  seem  unbe- 
lievable even  in  a  very  prosperous  com- 
munity. The  administrative  officials  of 
the  Woman's  College  of  the  University 
of  North  Carolina,  notably  Dr.  Walter 
Clinton  Jackson.  Mr.  Charles  Phillips, 
and  Mr.  George  Joyce,  have  put  the  full 
force  and  strength  of  that  great  institu- 
tion behind  the  movement.  The  Veterans' 
Administration  realizing  the  need  of  of- 
fering cultural  as  well  as  vocational  train- 
ing have  given  strong  and  practical  sup- 
port. These  combined  efforts  resulted  in 
a  first-rate  summer  theatre  and  a  school 
of  fine  arts  that  is  now  offering  training 
and  college  credits  in  Art.  Music,  Drama, 
and  Crafts.  Within  another  year  Dance 
will   be  added  to   this  growing  list. 

DRAMA 

The  Parkway  Playhouse  of  the  Burns- 
ville School  of  Fine  Arts,  after  complet- 
ing its  second  season  with  marked  success. 


is  embarking  on  its  third  season  with 
emphasis  on  "more  of  everything."  This 
summer,  courses  in  all  phases  of  the 
theatre  are  being  offered.  These  courses 
are  planned  to  realize  the  cultural  and 
artistic  values  of  the  theatre  and  its  litera- 
ture, to  contribute  to  the  personal  de- 
velopment of  the  student,  and  to  pro- 
vide sound  professional  training  for  the 
educational,  community,  and  professional 
theatres.  Courses  will  be  offered  in  act- 
ing, directing,  scenery  construction,  stage 
lighting,  literature  of  the  theatre,  teach- 
ing dramatics  in  elementary  and  secon- 
dary   schools,    and    theatre    management. 

The  Parkway  Playhouse  is  a  theatre 
and  school  where  theory  and  practice 
meet.  All  activities  are  designed  to  re- 
volve around  the  students  and  all  class 
work  is  directly  connected  with  the  ac- 
tivities of  the  theatre.  The  students  will 
be  trained  under  a  large,  well-known, 
and  expekly  trained  faculty.  In  addition 
to  classwork.  students  are  expected  to  act 
and  assume  other  assigned  duties  in  each 
phase  of  the  theatre  under  the  guidance  of 
the  faculty.  This  enables  each  student  to 
receive  a  well-rounded  knowledge  and  ap- 
preciation  of  all   phases   of   the   theatre. 

Housing:  Students,  faculty,  and  guest 
stars  are  housed  in  individual  rooms  in 
a  completely  remodeled  dormitory  only 
5  0  yards  from  the  Playhouse.  The  dorm-

one  of  the  regular  faculty  members  of  the 
Burnsville  School  of  Fine  Arts. 

Dining  Hall:  Dining  facilities  are  also 
operated  under  the  direction  of  the  Coun- 
selor and  well  balanced  meals  are  offered.

MUSIC 

Courses  in  Music  at  the  Burnsville 
School  of  Fine  Arts  are  planned  for 
teachers,  advanced  students,  and  the  lay- 
man interested  in  acquiring  a  fundamental 
understanding  of  music.  To  this  end  a 
program  of  individual  and  group  instruc- 
tion has  been  arranged.  Courses  in  Music 
will  include  both  private  voice  lessons  and 
chorus  work  conducted  by  Professor  Wil- 
liam C.  DeVeny,  head  of  the  Voice  De- 
partment at  Woman's  College.  Individ- 
ual instruction  and  band  work  will  be 
under  the  direction  of  Professor  Duane 
P.  Kline,  also  of  Woman's  College.  The 
high  light  in  the  music  program  will  be 
the  consolidation  of  both  the  Voice  and 
Instrumental  groups  with  the  Drama 
group  in  the  joint  presentation  of  the 
operetta  "Tulip  Time"  near  the  close 
of  the  season.  In  addition  to  classes  at

ART 

Another  step  toward  the  final  realiza- 
tion of  the  Burnsville  School  of  Fine 
Arts  is  being  taken  this  year  by  the  ad- 
dition of  instruction  in  the  field  of  Art. 
Several  courses  are  being  offered  includ- 
ing courses  in  basic  fundamental  of  de- 
sign, study  of  color  theories,  and  other

of  Mrs.  Callie  Braswell  and  college  cred- 
its will  be  granted  for  work  completed 
on   the   undergraduate  level. 


EDUCATION 

As  in  the  past,  the  Burnsville  School 
of  Fine  Arts  will  offer  a  large  and  varied 
list  of  extension  courses  in  education 
starting  July  4.  In  the  past  these  courses 
were  designed  primarily  for  teachers  in 
Western  North  Carolina  who  could  not 
attend  summer  school  otherwise.  This 
year,  however,  they  are  being  broadened 
to  cover  the  needs  of  teachers  from  any 
section  who  might  choose  to  take  any 
such  additional  work  in  the  cool,  pleas- 
ant facilities  offered  by  the  Burnsville 
School  of  Fine  Arts  located  in  the  center 
of  the  mountain  resort  area.  These 
courses  will  cover  three  two-week  periods 
and  college  credit  of  two  hours  will  be  al- 
lowed for  each  two  weeks  course.  Courses 
will  be  offered  in  Reading,  Guidance,

sion of  Mr.  Charles  W.  Phillips.  Wo- 
man's College  Extension  Division,  to

Dr.  Jackson  Will  Teach

Burnsville  Schol  of  Fine  Arts  this  sum- 
mer will  be  Chancellor  Jackson's  course,

understand,  used  to  be  called  "Represent- 
ative Americans".  The  course  will  carry 
two  hours  of  graduate  credit.  The  time, 
8:30  to  12:30  daily.  Place,  High  School

Woman's  College  to  Offer 
Degree  in  Creative  Arts 

A  Graduate  Creative  Arts  Pro- 
gram centered  in  Greensboro  at  the 
Woman's  College  Division  of  the  Con- 
solidated University  of  North  Caro- 
lina will  be  offered  for  the  first  time 
in  the  academic  year  1949-1950.  This 
program  leads  to  the  degree  of  Master 
of  Fine  Arts. 

The  program  is  designed  to  meet 
the  need  in  North  Carolina  and  in 
the  region  for  vi^ork  of  graduate  grade 
with  a  clear  emphasis  upon  compo- 
sition in  the  fields  of  painting  and  the 
graphic  arts,  music,  writing,  and  the 
dance.  Completion  of  the  degree  pro- 
gram will  presuppose  the  attainment 
of  a  professional  level  of  competence 
in  composition  in  the  art  form  in 
which  the  student  elects  to  major. 

The  degree  program  consists  of 
work  in  one  of  the  four  major  sub- 
jects and  in  a  related  minor.  Avail- 
able at  the  Woman's  College  are  an 
interdepartmental  minor  in  the  crea- 
tive arts  and  minors  in  art  history, 
painting  and  the  graphic  arts,  litera- 
ture, writing,  music  literature  and 
history,  and  the  dance.  Related  mi- 
nors are  also  available  at  the  Univer- 
sity at  Chapel  Hill  and  at  State  Col- 
lege in  Raleigh. 

The  establishment  of  this  graduate 
program  at  Greensboro  reflects  the 
conviction  that  distinctive  advantages 
for  the  pursuit  of  graduate  work  in 
the  creative  arts  are  present  here.  The 
Woman's  College  is  a  residential  lib- 
eral arts  college  which  has  for  a  num- 
ber of  years  given  emphasis  to  work 
in  the  several  arts  and  which  possesses 
facihties  adequate  to  support  graduate 
study.  The  opportunity  is  present  for 
individualized  instruction  from  the 
strong  staff  of  resident  artist-teachers. 
For  1949-1950,  this  staff  includes 
Gregory  D.  Ivy,  painter,  Randall  Jar- 
rell,  poet,  Virginia  Moomaw,  choreog- 
rapher, Lettie  Hamlett  Rogers,  nove- 
list and  story  writer,  Helen  A. 
Thrush,  graphic  artist,  and  Elliot 
Weisgarber,  composer. 

The  program  should  be  of  value  to 
those  who  would  teach  in  secondary 
schools  and  colleges  as  well  as  to  those 
preparing  for  professional  careers  in 
one  of  the  arts.  Adequate  supporting 
courses  in  the  literature  of  each  of  the 
arts  are  offered  together  with  courses 
which  meet  the  State  requirements  for 
graduate  certification.

students  to  be  admitted.  Mrs,  Satterfield 
made  the  motion  that  the  attention  of  the 
new  officers  be  called  to  the  fact  that 
College  Day  is  held  in  November  in  the 
high  schools  of  the  city.  Representatives 
from  the  college  should  be  present  then. 

The  meeting  was  then  turned  over  to 
the  program  chairman.  Miss  Webb.  She 
introduced  Miss  Mary  Creety  '48,  who 
discussed  the  Arts  Forum  which  takes 
place  on  the  campus  each  year.  Miss 
Creety  also  read  parts  of  the  petition  for 
a  graduate  school  in  the  Creative  Arts. 
To  everyone's  delight,  Miss  Creety  then 
showed  some  of  her  work  in  water  colors 
which  was  exhibited  at  the  Alumnae 
Show  on  the  campus  last  fall. 

In  view  of  the  fact  that  several  new 
members  were  present,  Mrs.  Montague 
asked  everyone  to  introduce  herself  by 
giving  her  name,  maiden  name,  class,  and 
occupation.  It  was  found  that  we  had 
a  very  interesting  cross  section  and  several 
wanted  to  find  out  more  about  what 
others    were    doing. 

Nancy  Williard   '4  6   Roberts, 
Secretary.

'  tee,  reported  that  Mr.  C.  W.  Phillips  was

school  girls  of  the  county.  Mr.  Phillips 
was  met  with  enthusiasm,  and  "W.  C. 
Day"  was  very  successful.  Mrs.  Kay 
Orr  (Kay  Flynn  '30),  in  reporting  for 
the  legislative  committee,  said  that  all  let- 


ters and  telegrams  were  sent  to  the  Legis- 
lature in  response  to  the  requests  of  the 
Alumnae  Association  in  Greensboro.  Mrs.

stitution drawn  up  by  the  legislative

unanimously  adopted   by  the   chapter. 

It  was  brought  to  our  attention  that 
Mr.  Nesbitt,  principal  of  the  Edneyville 
High  School,  had  suggested  that  the 
Alumnae  Chapter  endeavor  to  get  a 
Henderson  County  representative  on  the 
board  of  trustees  of  the  University  of 
North  Carolina.  This  was  unanimously 
selected  as  a  project  which  will  be  worked 
out  at  a  later  date. 

Mis  Margaret  Edwards,  head  of  the 
Home  Economics  Department  of  the  col- 
lege, made  an  interesting  talk  about  the 
new  buildings  on  the  campus,  the  new 
geography  of  the  campus,  and  new 
courses   offered. 

Miss  Agnes  Coxe  '27,  also  of  the 
Home  Economics  Department  of  the  col- 
lege, made  a  newsworthy  report  about 
the  faculty,  bringing  us  up  to  date  on  the 
faculty  retirements,  necrology,  and  new 
members,  especially  noting  that  Dr.  Jack-

year.  She  then  gave  us  details  of  the 
Alumnae  activities,  noting  especially  the 
Arts  Forum.  Social  Science  Forum,  and

and  about  the  alumnae.  She  in  turn  in- 
troduced Miss  Taylor,  whose  topic  was 
the  "Guidance  Program  at  Woman's  Col- 
lege." This  talk  was  of  utmost  interest 
to  the  alumnae,  as  the  system  has  been 
greatly  changed  since  many  of  us  were 
there.  Mrs.  B.  E.  Copeland  (Lucy  Boone 
'95),  our  oldest  alumna  in  the  county,

The  above  picture  tvas  made  at  the  Boston  Alumnae 
Meeting  in  Febncary.

dine  McKinney  '48. 


on  Clarendon  Street  in  Boston.  The  room 
allotted  to  us  is  a  pleasant  one,  ideal  for 
a  friendly  get-together.  Shortly  after  two 
o'clock  Mrs.  Levin  (Myra  Siff  '46),  our 
president,  opened  the  meeting  by  wel- 
coming the  twenty  members  who  had 
come,  some  of  them  from  distant  points 
in  the  state,  two  from  New  Hampshire, 
and    one    from    Vermont. 

Routine  reports  were  made  and  then 
Mrs.  Levin  read  letters  of  regret  from 
some  of  the  alumnae  who  were  unable 
to  meet  with  us  on  that  day.  Some  of 
the  coming  attractions  for  our  chapter 
are:  a  bridge  party  to  be  held  at  Geral- 
dine  McKinney's  '48,  early  in  April,  a 
Boston  "Pops"  Symphony  night  some- 
time in  May,  and  a  picnic  early  in  June. 
If  our  plans  materialize,  we  should  be 
a  very  busy  chapter  this  first  year.  At 
the  next  regular  meeting  in  late  April  we 
hope  to  have  as  our  speaker  someone 
from    the   college. 

Mrs.  Levin  asked  the  following  mem- 
bers to  serve  as  committee  chairmen: 
Ruth  (Schohn)  Pilling  '44,  member- 
ship; Polly  Claiborne  '47,  program; 
Anita  (Fife)  Jennings  '44,  nominating. 
Our  guest  speaker  for  the  afternoon. 
Dr.  Herbert  Park,  was  introduced  by 
Polly  Claiborne.  Dr.  Park  is  at  present 
connected  with  the  Massachusetts  General 
Hospital  in  Boston,  and  his  subject  was 
compulsory  health  insurance.  Dr.  Park 
gave  us  a  very  interesting  twenty  minutes 
and  willingly  answered  the  questions  and 
inquiries  which  followed.  Perhaps  we 
should  add  that  Mrs.  Park  is  our  own 
Frances     (Little)     Park,    '42. 

Each  alumna  had  been  asked  to  bring 
pictures  of  her  college  days,  albums,  year 
books,  etc.,  and  the  group  enjoyed  shar- 
ing these  and  comparing  notes.  While 
tea  was  being  served,  Mr.  Joseph  Wood, 
Jr.,  Marguerite  (Smith)  Wood's  hus- 
band, took  pictures  of  the  group.  It  was 
5    o'clock   when   we   finally   adjourned.

writes:  "I  have  been  trying  for  the 
past  year  to  organize  an  alumnae 
chapter  in  Ohio.  I  would  like  for 
all  the  girls  who  read  the  Alumnae 
News  to  write  to  me  if  they  are  in-

anyone  in  any  state  knows  of  a

address  and  I'll  go  to  work.  Some- 
time during  the  next  month  I'm 
going  up  to  Cleveland  to  see  if  I 
can  find  some  of  our  girls  and  I'm 
surely  looking  forward  to  the  trip."

Orange  County 

The  Orange  County  Chapter  of  the 
Woman's  College  Alumnae  Association 
met  on  Monday  night,  March  7,  at  6:30 
p.m.  for  a  dinner  meeting  in  the  Carolina 
Inn,  Chapel  Hill.  Miss  Katherine  Tay- 
lor, Miss  Vera  Largent,  Mrs.  Anne  Carter 
and  Miss  Elvira  Prondeckie  were  guests 
from  the  College,  very  welcome  guests. 
Forty-four  were  present,  including  eight 
visitors  from  the  Durham  County  Chap- 
ter, Jean  Dickey  '44,  chairman,  Linda 
Lyon  '44,  Isabel  Pelton  '39,  Jo  Whitley 
'44,  Billie  Rivers  '46,  Grace  Haynes 
Page  '44,  Grace  Brewer  '44.  and  Susan 
Darden  '46.  Mrs.  Claude  Teague  was 
also  a  special  guest  of  the  Orange  County 
Chapter. 

Miss  Largent,  class  chairman  in  1944 
and  member  of  the  history  department, 
told  the  alumnae  about  The  Harriet  Elli- 
ott Social  Science  Forum.  The  Forum 
has  been  one  of  Miss  Largent's  favorite 
topics  since  it  began;  since  her  talk  the 
Forum  is  one  of  the  favorite  subjects 
of  the  alumnae  present.  Miss  Largent  re- 
created the  intellectual  excitement  present 
on  the  Woman's  College  campus  about 
the  topic  of  this  year's  Forum:  Freedom 
and  Security.  What  are  the  bounds  of 
Freedom  and  of  Security?  What  limita- 
tions does  Security  place  on  Freedom? 
How  much  Security  must  we  forego  for 
the  sake  of  Freedom?  Since  Miss  Lar- 
gent's tribute  to  the  fine  speech  of  Mrs. 
Vera  Micheles  Dean,  those  who  missed 
the  meetings  especially  regret  not  hearing 
her  consideration  of  these  problems.  Nor 
is  the  topic  for  the  fall  session  of  the 
Harriet  Elliott  Social  Science  Forum  any 
less  stimulating;  the  discrepancy  between 
what  we  as  a  group  know  and  what  we 
as  a  group  do.  If  Miss  Largent  gives 
many  such  talks,  the  W.  C.  campus  will 
not  be  large  enough  to  hold  all  of  us 
interested   in   the   Forum. 

Miss  Katherine  Taylor's  address  was 
much  better  than  anything  so  formal  as 
an  "address":  she  brought  the  alumnae 
back  to  Woman's  College  through  an  in- 
formal talk  which  was  in  truth  a  visit 
with  the  Dean  of  women,  the  faculty  and 
the  students.   Miss  Taylor  briefly  reviewed 


May,   1949 


13 


the  residence  hall  system  which  Miss  Elli- 
ott created  and  nurtured,  and  she  told 
about  the  immediate  plans  for  improve- 
ments, the  emphasis  now  being  on  in- 
terdormitory  citizenship.  After  noting 
some  changes  in  the  faculty,  Miss  Taylor 
brought  the  alumnae  up  to  date  on  the 
building  program,  from  the  laundry  to 
the  new  library.  In  particular  she  dis- 
cussed the  status  of  the  Student  Govern- 
ment, which  is  now  re-examining  the 
honor  policy  and  its  own  position  on 
campus.  Miss  Taylor  made  the  alumnae 
feel  the  spirit  of  the  poHtical  campaigns 
on  campus  and  the  enthusiasm  for  the 
newly-formed  Greater  University  Coun- 
cil. She  announced  the  plans  for  this 
this  year's  Arts  Forum,  which  has  the 
honor  of  being  imitated  by  other  colleges 
in  the  country  and  which  is  a  vital  force 
on    the   W.    C.    campus   and   in   the   state. 

After  a  forum,  at  which  time  Miss 
Taylor.  Miss  Largent,  Mrs.  Carter  and 
Miss  Prondeckie  answered  question  of  the 
alumnae  about  the  college,  social  bedlam, 
and   we   all   enjoyed   it. 

Sarah  Virginia  Dunlap  '3  9,  secretary- 
treasurer,  was  chiefly  responsible  for  the 
arrangements  of  the  meeting,  along  with 
Lorraine  (Glenn)  Simms  '46,  vice-chair- 
man. The  menu  was  surprisingly  good: 
stuffed  grapefruit,  chicken  breast,  aspara- 
gus, mashed  potatoes,  tomato  aspic,  cof- 
fee,   rolls   and   ice   cream.

Annual  Music  Contest 

The  North  Carolina  Music  Contest- 
Festival,  which  has  given  opportunity 
and  encouragement  to  nearly  a  hundred 
thousand  of  the  state's  high  school  sing- 
ers and  musicians  during  the  past  3 1 
years,  staged  its  1949  event  at  Woman's

North  Carolina's  extraordinary  record 
for  producing  a  large  number  of  nation- 
ally known  singers,  choir  directors,  solo- 
ists, band  leaders,  instrumentalists,  and 
music  teachers  is  attributed  to  the  annual 
contest-festival  and  the  months  of  prep- 
arations made  for  it  in  the  state's  schools. 


Fergtison  Home  at 
Taylorsville  is  Unique 

Sue  Ramsey  (Johnston)  Ferguson  and 
her  husband  live  at  Liledoun.  their  estate 
near  Taylorsville.  The  Case  Institute  of 
Technology's  Alumni  Magazine  (Mr. 
Ferguson  is  a  Case  graduate)  carried  a 
most  interesting  description  in  the  Janu- 
ary  1949   number.    We  quote  in  part: 

Located  three  and  a  halt  miles  from  Tay- 
lorsville, Liledoun  (the  authentic  Scots  pro- 
nunciation is  Lilydoon)  is  an  original  and 
ancient  Scottish  settlement.  When  the  Fergu- 
sons purchased  the  rolling  acres  composing 
the  plantation,  they  viewed  the  plain,  simply- 
designed  farm  house  topping  a  gentle  knoll 
and  found  it  good.  Then  they  set  to  work  to 
carry  out  within  some  ideas  of  their  own. 
Today  the  house  is  a  completely  charming 
example  of  simple  elegance  and  spaciousness 
— a  home  lending  itself  graciously  and  beau- 
tifully to  comfortable  living  and  warm  hos- 
pitality. 

Carefully  worked  out  by  metropolitan  dec- 
orators and  artists,  the  uncovered  windows  in 
the  reception  rooms  are  of  plate  glass,  framed 
on  the  inside  with  decorated  panels,  and  bring 
the  magnificent  view  spread  out  on  every  side 
right   into   the   house. 

In  the  living  room,  splendidly  conceived 
and  executed  murals  depict  members  of  the 
household,  its  staff,  and  plantation  activities. 
The  third  floor  of  the  home  has  been  opened 
up  and  converted  into  marvelous  quarters  for 
the  Ferguson  small  fry  and  their  governess, 
and  an  electric  elevator  makes  commerce  be- 
tween the  three  floors  an  entirely  simple  mat- 
ter. 

Mrs.  Ferguson,  the  former  Sue  Ramsey 
Johnston  of  Gastonia,  has  had,  and  is  still 
enjoying,  a  varied  and  colorful  career.  She 
has  taught  school,  been  a  domestic  science 
teacher,  served  a  large  Philadelphia  hospital 
as  dietitian,  conducted  cooking  schools,  and 
is  recognized  as  one  of  this  state's  ranking 
hostesses.  At  Liledoun.  she  thinks  nothing  of 
entertaining  200  or  more  people  from  all 
parts  of  the  state  at  the  annual  October 
clambake,  which  is  now  one  of  the  state's 
social  institutions.  For  this  event,  clams  are 
flown  straight  to  Liledoun  from  their  native 
habitat,  and  the  clambake  is  prepared  and 
served  in  the  best  New  England  manner.  She 
was  the  second  woman  in  North  Carolina  to 
be  appointed  to  the  State  Board  of  Educa- 
tion ;  she  served  her  district  with  distinction 
as  State  Senator,  and  she  is  presently  a  mem- 
ber of  the  important  State  Education  Corn- 
Social  events  of  a  brilliant  nature  are  held 
regularly  at  Liledoun.  There  the  great  in 
education,  politics,  and  industry  are  wont  to 
congregate,  and  there  history  has  many  times 
been   made,   and   will   be  made  again. 

In  North  Carolina,  the  Fergusons  of  Lile- 
doun are  unique  and,  a  visit  to  their  family 
seat  is  an  enviable  and  never-to-be-forgotton 
privilege    and    pleasure. 

Mrs.  Ferguson  is  president  of  the  Wo- 
man's College  Home  Economics  Founda- 
tion and  a  member  of  the  University 
Board   of  Trustees.

Students  Read  More 
Serious  Literature 

Woman's  College  students  are  increas- 
ingly reading  more  serious  literature,  ac- 
cording to  the  annual  report  of  Charles 
M.  Adams,  librarian.  During  the  past 
year  there  was  a  distinct  decline  in  the 
reading  of  fiction.  The  borrowing  of 
non-fiction  books  led  fiction  by  a  mar- 
gin of  about  seven  to  one. 

During  the  past  year,  according  to  the 
librarian,  the  college  added  6,000  vol- 
umes to  its  collection  to  boost  its  total 
to  more  than  223,000  books.  More  than 
91,000  volumes  were  circulated  during 
the  year.

(Elsie  Weatherly) 
2257  Loring  Place 
University    Heights,    New    York 
City. 

Nancy  (Drew)  Cowand,  Aulander: 
"I  enjoy  the  Alumnae  News  so  much. 
When  it  comes,  I  drop  work  and  read 
and  read  until  I've  read  it  all.  My 
memory  goes  back  57  years  ago." 

Dr.  Phoebe  (P  e  g  r  a  m)  Baughan 
wrote  in  April  that  she  was  spending 
Easter  with  her  daughter  Phoebe 
(Baughan)  Barr  '27  and  husband. 
She  plans  to  be  here  for  commence- 
ment.

.Johnsie  Colt,  who  has  been  teach-

Everlasting"  President 
Mrs.  O.  L.  McCullen 
(Bertha   Sugg) 

Route  1,  Faison,  N.  C. 

Bertha  (Sugg)  McCullen  writes: 
"Since  my  husband's  death  in  1944,  I 
have  gone  back  to  teaching  in  Calyp- 
so, N.  C,  and  find  it  as  fascinating 
as  it  was  in  1901 — it  keeps  me  feel- 
ing young  too.  Even  breaking  my 
leg  in  1948  couldn't  keep  me  out  of 
the  schoolroom  but  a  few  weeks.  It 
is  truly  good  to  have  this  employ- 
ment because  I  am  in  a  sense  alone, 
as  all  my  children  are  in  their  own 
homes.  My  younger  son,  with  his 
wife  and  four  children,  lives  at  the 
homeplace  which  is  still  home  for 
me;  the  older  one  (who  has  two  chil- 
dren) lives  in  New  York  City.  My 
daughter  Susan,  known  to  some 
alumnae,  lives  in  Merced,  Calif.,  and 
my  youngest  is  in  Harpers  Ferry, 
W.  Va.  I  have  a  wonderful  time  go- 
ing by  air  to  visit  them.  My  friends 
at  Commencement  can  prepare  to  be 
bored  with  grandmother's  talk  of 
those  six  little  ones  and  of  those 
visits  which  fill  most  of  vacation 
time."

Battle  Lee  Sanders.,  Smithfield, 
writes:  "Since  November  12th,  I've 
been    practically    an    invalid    with    a 


strained  back,  yet  went  on  to  my  be- 
loved library  work  until  December 
31st,  when  I  had  to  have  a  three 
weeks  stay  in  Rex  Hospital  under  the 
care  of  Dr.  Hugh  A.  Thompson 
through  March  7th.  Here  at  home 
some  bad  burns  have  kept  me  in  bed 
since  then.  Do  hope  to  be  back  in  our 
library  soon."

solidated University  record.  She

lege days  and  The  Greater  Univer- 
sity. My  husband,  M.  T.  Smith,  grad-

Edith  (Latham)  Settan,  1030  W. 
Mai'ket  Street,  Greensboro,  brings  us 
up  to  date  on  her  many  interesting 
activities:  "Have  been  active  in  Bird 
Club  work  for  eight  years.  Travel- 
ing in  the  interest  of  birds  has  en- 
abled me  to  explore   (within  the  last 


16 


two  years)  the  entire  coast  of  N.  C. 
from  Nags  Head  to  Southport,  outer 
banks  and  coastal  islands.  In  1947,  I 
attended  the  Audubon  Nature  Camp 
in  Maine  and  took  a  National  Audu- 
bon Field  Trip  in  the  area  south  of 
Miami  including  the  Keys.  Both 
trips  were  by  airplane  —  my  first. 
This  year  I  am  president  of  the 
Greensboro  Astronomy  Club.  I  have 
two  grandchildren,  Bobby  Settan  9, 
and  Beverly  Ann  Settan  6.  Both  at- 
tend Curry  School.  During  the  sum- 
mer of  1947-48  I  directed  nature 
work  at   Camp  Illahee,  Brevard."

several  months  of  her  year's  leave  of 
absence  from  China  where  she  is 
superintendent  of  the  hospital  in  Kiu- 
kiang.  Prior  to  World  War  II,  this 
hospital  served  mainly  women  and 
children,  but  due  to  shortage  of  hos- 
pital space,  it  has  been  necessary  for 
them  to  admit  men  also.  Plans  for 
the  future  include  expansion  of  the 
nurse's  training  program  and  head- 
ing up  a  public  health  program  for 
that  section  of  China.  Miss  Town- 
send  was  most  interested  in  the  ex- 
pansion and  changes  at  Woman's 
College  and  also  enjoyed  finding  out 
about  members  of  the  faculty  she  had 
known  when  she  was  here.  She  plans 
to  return  to  Kiukiang  in  October.

holidays.  We  flew  over  from  Wash- 
ington,   D.    C,    and    returned    on    the 


Queen  of  Bermuda  to  New  York,  a 
veritable  dream  boat.  No  one  got 
lost,  no  one  lost  anything,  and  no 
one  got  seasick!  President  Truman 
flew  in  from  his  southern  vacation 
just  before  we  boarded  our  plane  in 
Washington  and  the  Governor  of 
Bermuda  was  retiring  and  returning 
to  England  to  live  —  so  came  aboard 
our  ship  with  much  pomp  and  cere- 
mony and  sailed  with  us  to  New 
York.  Churchill  and  Shostakovitch 
were  both  in  New  York  when  we  ar- 
rived at  our  little  hotel.  The  New 
Weston  (but  just  around  the  corner 
from  the  Waldorf  where  parades  and 
pickets  were  in  full  swing) !  The 
Islands  of  Bermuda  were  even  love- 
lier than  we  expected  —  and  we  rec- 
ommend that  you  all  join  our  St. 
Catherine's  tour  next  year!

Richmond  by  June.  It  has  been  fast 
travel,  but  the  teacher  has  learned 
an  awful  lot."

my  husband  at  Vernani  Air  Force 
Base  on  the  island  of  Jamaica  in  the 
British  West  Indies.  Since  I  first 
drove  on  the  base  I've  loved  it.  M. 
E.  is  a  weather  officer,  so  manages 
to  stay  busy,  since  weather  doesn't 
have  Wednesday  afternoons,  holidays 
and  weekends  off.  But  for  me  and 
for  all  the  other  wives,  this  is  a  two- 
and-a-half-year  vacation.  The  base, 
like  the  island,  is  small  and  pretty 
with  an  abundance  of  tropical  shrubs 
and  trees  to  give  it  color.  In  addition 
to  the  usual  commissary,  p.ex.,  laun- 
dry, electric  and  water  supply,  cold 
storage,  and  so  on,  we  have  a  swim- 
ming pool,  golf  course,  tennis  courts, 
bowling  alley,  gymn,  and  outdoor 
theater  to  keep  us  happy.  Since  Ja-

please  plan  to  visit  us  at  Vernam. 
The  resort  areas  are  lovely,  but  I 
think  you'd  enjoy  seeing  this  bit  of 
America  in  the  middle  of  it  all.  We 
wouldn't  for  anything  miss  driving 
over  the  island  to  see  the  natives  in 
their  own  picturesque  envoronment 
of  thatched  roofs,  banana  and  cocoa- 
nut  trees,  donkeys,  and  goats;  and  a 
weekend  in  one  of  the  English-type 
hotels  is  very  pleasant.  Nevertheless, 
it  always  feels  good  to  drive  back 
through  the  gate.  This  is  home.  I 
send  my  very  best  wishes  to  all  of 
you."

DO  THIS 


If  Baby 
Has  a  Cold 


Best-known  home  remedy  you 
can  use  to  relieve  distress  of 
baby's  cold  is  to  rub  his  little 
throat,  chest  and  back  with 
Vicks  VapoRub  at  bedtime. 
Results  are  so  good  because 
VapoRub: 

Penetrates  to  cold-irritated 
upper  broncliial  tubes  witli  spe- 
cial soothing  medicinal  vapors. 

Stimulates  chest  and  back 
surfaces  lilis  a  nice  v,-arming 
poultice. 

While  baby  sleeps  VapoRub's 
penetrating-stimulating  action 
keeps  working  for  hours  to 
bring  relief.  Often  by  morning 
most  distress  of  the  cold  is  gone. 
Try  Vicks  VapoRub  tonight!

short  since  we  missed  seeing  so  many 
people  we  wanted  to.  Boston  is  al-

however.  I  was  so  surprised  and 
pleased  to  know  there  was  an  active

enjoyed  the  fall  meeting.  Glenn's

the  year  goes  on.  We  both  will  be

of  long  hours  to  herself,  but  so  far 
they've  been  full.  I  have  a  Girl  Scout

two  courses  at  the  adult  education

the  first  of  March  after  a  very  rough 
transatlantic  crossing.  My  husband 
works  in  Southofen,  and  we  live  in 
Oberstdorf.  Both  towns  are  in  the 
heart  of  the  Bavarian  Alps.  We  are 
located  close  to  the  Swiss  border  and 
it  is  only  a  two-hour  drive  to  Zurich. 
In  the  short  time  that  I've  been  here 
I've  managed  to  see  much  of  the 
country.  I've  been  in  Munich  and 
Augsburg,  but  neither  place  was  ap- 
pealing. Munich,  particularly,  was 
very  badly  bombed  and  they  are  only 
beginning  to  clear  the  rubble  and 
start  rebuilding.  We  drove  to  Co- 
logne, in  the  British  Zone;  our  route 
was   along   the   famous   Rhine   River,

which  was  a  very  wonderful  sight  to 
see.  River  barges  from  all  nations — 
Belgium,  Luxembourg,  Holland,  Swit- 
zerland— use  the  waterway.  Vine- 
yards rise  to  the  mountain  tops  bor- 
dering the  Rhine.  The  villages  along 
the  river  are  quaint  and  picturesque. 
The  Rhine  abounds  with  castles.  We 
saw  Rheinfels,  near  St.  Goar;  the 
Burg  Katz  and  the  Burg  Maus.  The 
latter  two  castles  are  The  Cat  and 
The    Mouse. 

"Bavaria  is  the  prettiest  section  of 
Germany,  I  think.  The  houses  and 
other  buildings  are  of  the  Swiss  Cha- 
let type,  with  picturesque  balconies 
and  porches.  Oberstdorf,  where  we 
live,  is  a  popular  German  ski  resort 
town.  There  are  always  champion- 
ship ski  jumps  and  races  here  during 
the  winter.  Last  month  they  held  a 
ski  festival  in  the  town  and  the 
whole  town  was  decorated.  Everyone 
took  off  from  work  to  see  the  fun. 
As  soon  as  it  snows  here,  everyone 
gets  out  their  skis  and  heads  for  the 
slopes."  Address:  c/o  Sgt.  William

DEVOE  PAINTS 

Featuring  the 
2 -COAT  SYSTEM 

This  Dcvoe  2-Coat  System  doesn't 
try  to  saddle  or  shirk.  There  are 
two  definite  jobs  for  outside  paint 
to  do,  and  Devoe  does  them.  Each 
coal  does  its  specific  work.  The  first 
coat  locks  the  pores  of  the  wood 
like  iron,  seals  it  against  sucking  up 
life-giving  oils.  The  second  coat  is 
built  to  laugh  off  ultra-violet  sun 
rays  and  weather,  still  sparkles 
after  several  years.
