The  Spring  of   1945 

As  this  is  written  we  at  Maryville  College,  like  all  who  read  this,  are  watehing  the  battle  lines  moving  toward 
the  centers  of  Germany  and  Austria  and  are  trying  to  believe  the  predictions  that  V-E  Day  will  come  soon. 
Perhaps  it  will  have  come  when  this  is  received.  We  are  searching  our  maps  of  the  far  Pacific  for  the  locations 
of  new  American  amphibious  landings.  We  are  attempting  to  coordinate  in  our  thinking  the  many  and  varied 
reports  from  Washington  and  London  and  Moscow  concerning  the  conduct  of  the  war,  the  rehabilitation  of 
liberated  countries,  the  Yalta  and  San  Francisco  conferences.  Never  before  have  the  daily  events  of  the  world 
been  so  much  a  part  of  every  household  and  every  person's  thoughts  and  emotions.  Think  of  the  impact  of  the 
broadcasts  and  publications  upon  all  of  us!  We  live  amid  constant  reports  and  discussions.  And  almost  every 
family  circle  is  represented  in  the  military  services.  Amid  all  of  these  things  the  programs  of  institutions  like 
Maryville  College  are  conducted. 

On  the  Campus 

The  Maryville  program  is  going  forward  steadily  and  on  the  whole  constructively.  Certainly  it  has  been 
quieter  than  when  aviation  students  were  marching  in  and  out  of  buildings  and  across  the  campus.  Many  of 
our  students  miss  the  activity  and  excitement  of  the  Army's  presence  and  miss  too  the  larger  number  of  men 
students  of  the  usual  years.  But  there  are  interesting  activities  and  what  is  more  important  there  is  a  good  oppor- 
tunity for  study  and  instruction.     In  spite  of  some  understandable   "war  nerves"   it   is   a  good  year. 

The  President's  Report 

It  is  my  understanding  that  there  will  be  mailed  with  each  copy  of  this  issue  of  the  Alumni  Magazine  a  copy 
of  a  brief  summary  of  my  report  to  the  Directors  last  November  entitled  The  125th  Year  at  Maryville  College. 
It  contains  some  data,  analyses,  and  suggestions  in  more  detail  than  can  be  given  here.  The  total  enrolment  for  the 
year  has  been  increased  slightly  by  the  twenty-two  new  students  who  entered  at  the  second  semester.  The  total 
for  the  year  in  458  (397  women,  61  men).  In  the  judgment  of  most  college  executives  there  is  no  solid  basis 
for  expecting  any  great  increase  in  enrolment  of  men  by  next  fall  even  though  the  war  in  Europe  is  over  by 
that  time.      But  wc  shall   try  to  be  prepared  for  whatever  situation  develops. 

S.S.   Maryville  Victory 

Very  prominent  in  this  issue  is  the  report  of  the  launching  of  a  Victory  ship  named  for  Maryville  College 
by  the  U.  S.  Maritime  Commission.  The  Victory  ships  are  comparatively  modest  vessels  but  they  will  serve  both 
the- needs  of  war  and  the  work  of  peace.  This  is  the  sort  of  thing  which  does  not  occur  very  often  and  should 
be  of  general  interest  to  Maryville  alumni.  At  the  request  of  the  Editor  I  have  written  a  summary  of  the  facts 
on  another  page. 

Our  Gold  Stars 

Elsewhere  in  this  Magazine  is  a  report  of  the  recent  dedication  of  Gold  Stars  on  our  Service  Flags.  We  are 
made  sad  by  the  deaths  these  represent.  At  the  same  time  we  may  thank  God  that  so  far  the  proportion  of 
Maryville  men  lost  in  this  war  is  smaller  than  that  in  World  War  I.  At  Armistice  Day,  1918,  after  a  year  and  a 
half  of  war,  there  were  658  stars  on  the  Maryville  College  Service  Flags,  of  which  twenty-one,  or  one  in  every 
thirty-one  were  gold;  at  the  present  time  after  three  and  a  half  years  of  World  War  II,  there  are  1,057  stars  on  our 
Flags,  of  which  twenty-one,  or  one  in  every  fifty,  are  gold. 

Deaths  of  Miss  Caldwell,  Dr.  Stevenson,  and  Miss  Wine 

Another  of  Maryville's  true  builders  is  gone  from  among  us.  "Miss  Molly"  Caldwell,  for  thirty-seven  years 
an  important  officer  at  the  College,  died  January  17  at  the  age  of  eighty-one.  She  had  retired  from  active  service 
in   1936.     It  is  appropriate  that  she  is  buried  in  the  College  Cemetery. 

Dr.  William  Patton  Stevenson's  service  as  College  Pastor  from  1917  to  1940  was  unique  and  notable.  He- 
gave  it  magnificently  and  without  salary.  His  health  and  vitality  were  remarkable  until  after  Mrs.  Stevenson's 
death  in  1939.  He  became  ill  two  years  before  his  death,  which  came  peacefully  on  November  4,  1944.  He  is 
buried  beside  Mrs.  Stevenson  in  our  College  Cemetery  which  he  helped  to  endow. 

Some  of  the  services  rendered  by  Miss  Caldwell  and  Dr.  Stevenson  are  outlined  in  the  addresses  given  by  the 
writer  at  their  funeral  services  in   Maryville  and  published  in  this  issue  of  the  Alumni  Maga-ine. 

Miss  Alice  Wine,  Head  of  Memorial  Hall  since  193  7,  was  not  able  to  return  to  her  duties  last  fall,  having 
undergone  a  serious  operation  in  the  summer.  She  did  not  recover  and  died  at  her  home  in  Denver,  Colorado,  on 
February  11.     This  is  a  real  loss  to  the  College  for  she  was  an  effective  and  loyal  officer  in  our  personnel  program. 

"What  Curriculum  for  This  Kind  of  College?" 

Last  fall  we  divided  the  faculty  into  study  groups  and  asked  them  to  work  through  to  some  recommendations 
on  the  subject  at  the  head  of  this  paragraph.  Some  valuable  progress  has  been  made  and  a  report  should  be 
ready  by  the  close  of  the  college  year.  The  1945  Catalog  is  now  on  the  press  and  therefore  does  not  attempt 
to  reflect  the  results  of  this  study.  The  Catalog  does  carry  a  page  outlining  opportunities  at  Maryville  for  returning 
veterans  but  that  is  a  more   immediate   and  temporary  program  than  that  with  which  this  Faculty  Study  is  dealinc. 

Cordially  yours,

The  Victory  Ships  being  built  by  Calship  for  the 
United  States  Maritime  Commission  are  named  by 
the  Commission  for  the  Universities  and  Colleges 
in  the  United  States. 

The  Victory  Ship  being  launched  today  honors 
Maryville  College  at  Maryville,  Tennessee.  Like  all 
Victory  Ships,  it  has  a  10,500  D.W.  tonnage  and 
speed  suitable  for  both  war  and  peacetime  service. 
Keel  laid  December  28,  19+4.

Second  largest  emergency  shipyard  in  America,  with 
14  ways  and  10  outfitting  docks,  California  Ship- 
building Corporation  has  delivered  to  the  U.  S. 
Maritime  Commission  306  Liberty  Ships,  30  Liberty- 
type  Tankers,  30  Attack  Transports  and  44  Victory 
Ships.  Seven  more  Victory  Ships  have  been  launched. 
Today's  ship  is  the  418th  to  be  launched  at  this 
yard,  an  average  of  one  every  72  hours  since  Sep- 
tember 27,  1941.  There  will  be  59  additional  ships 
to  be  built  under  preseHt  contracts.

THE  MARYVILLE  COLLEGE  VICTORY  SHIP 

In  January  President  Lloyd  of  the  College  received 
a  letter  from  the  United  States  Maritime  Commission, 
Washington,  which  read  in  part  as  follows:  "It  is  a 
pleasure  to  advise  you  that  the  Maritime  Commission  is 
naming  one  of  the  new  Victory  ships  in  honor  of 
Maryville  College.  This  vessel  is  one  of  a  series  going 
into  service  during  1945,  which  will  be  named  after 
American  colleges  and  universities.  The  S.  S.  MARY- 
VILLE VICTORY  is  under  construction  by  the  Cali- 
fornia Shipbuilding  Corporation,  Wilmington,  Cali- 
fornia." 

The  launching  was  set  for  9:00  p.  m.  February  22 
and  the  College  was  invited  to  be  represented. 
Obviously  it  was  not  practicable  for  anyone  at  Mary- 
ville to  make  the  long  journey  necessary  to  be  present. 
President  Lloyd  therefore  appointed  as  his  representa- 
tive Lamar  S.  Wilson,  '21,  of  Los  Angeles,  youngest 
son  of  the  late  President  Emeritus  Samuel  Tyndale 
Wilson,  and  the  names  of  Maryville  alumni  known  to 
be  in  southern  California  were  given  to  the  California 
Shipbuilding  Corporation  to  receive  invitations.  The 
picture  above  shows  those  who  were  present.

The  S.  S.  MARYVILLE  VICTORY  is  one  of  the 
Maritime  Commission's  new  wartime  and  postwar 
cargo  Victory  ships,  of  which  the  first  were  launched 
in  February  and  March  1944.  It  is  a  three-deck  vessel 
455  feet  long  with  a  beam  of  62  feet;  its  deadweight 
tonnage  is  10,800  and  its  cargo  tonnage  capacity  9,146; 
it  is  driven  by  6,000  horsepower  steam  turbine-gear 
engines  with  over  twice  the  horsepower  of  the  Liberty 
ship,  and  has  a  speed  of  15   knots. 

The  S.  S.  MARYVILLE  VICTORY  has  been  as- 
signed to  the  McCormick  Steamship  Division  of  Pope 
and  Talbot,  Inc.,  San  Francisco,  for  operation.  Mary- 
ville College  has  furnished  the  ship's  library  of  about 
130  volumes  for  use  of  the  crew.  This  was  done 
through  the  American  Merchant  Marine  Library  Asso- 
ciation at  a  cost  to  the  College  of  $350.  The  name 
of  the  College  as  donor  of  the  library  is  being  placed

REMARKS 
By  Lamar  S.  Wilson,  '21 

Due  to  transportation  conditions  and  the  press  of  his 
duties,  President  Ralph  Waldo  Lloyd  of  Maryville  CoL 
lege,  Maryville,  Tennessee,  sends  his  regrets  that  he 
cannot  be  here  to  attend  these  launching  ceremonies. 


He  has  requested  me  to  represent  him  here  tonight 
and  also  to  speak  in  behalf  of  the  Alumni  and  students 
of  the  College  in  honor  of  which  this  ship  is  named. 

It  was  in  the  fall  of  1819  that  Maryville  College 
was  first  launched  forth  on  the  sea  of  knowledge,  so  to 
speak,  by  Dr.  Isaac  Anderson  in  East  Tennessee  which 
was  at  that  time  generally  considered  as  being  located 
in  the  "Great  Southwest."  It  is  therefore  fitting  and 
appropriate  that  we  here  126  years  later  launch  this 
S.  S.  MARYVILLE  VICTORY  again  in  the  "Great 
Southwest,"   only  this   time   somewhat   farther   west. 

If  this  ship  which  is  being  launched  tonight  serves 
her  country  in  keeping  with  the  traditional  record  of 
achievements  chronicled  by  the  institution  for  which 
she  has  been  named,  then  she  will  have  gone  a  long 
way  towards  the  attainment  of  the  final  victory,  which 
her  name  also  symbolizes. 

Therefore,  m  behalf  of  President  Ralph  Waldo 
Lloyd,  the  sixth  president  of  Maryville  College,  and 
also  in  behalf  of  the  facultry,  alumni,  former  and  pres' 
ent  students,  I  wish  to  thank  the  Maritime  Commission 
and  the  California  Shipbuilding  Corporation  for  naming 
this  great  ship  the  S.  S.  MARYVILLE  VICTORY  in 
honor  of  a  great  educational  institution.

MARY   ELLEN    CALDWELL 

Address   by   President   Ralph    Waldo   Lloyd 

At   the   Funeral   Service   on   January   20,    1945 

In   the   Elizabeth   R.    Voorhees   Chapel 

Romans    16:6 — Salute    Mary,    who    bestowed    much 
labor  on  you. 

Mary  Ellen  Caldwell  was  born  in  Bonham,  Texas, 
September  11,  1863,  and  died  at  her  home  on  Miller 
Street  in  Maryville,  Tennessee,  on  last  Wednesday 
evening,  January  17,  1945,  at  the  age  of  81  years, 
4  months,  and  6  days.  Word  of  her  going  reached 
me  in  Cleveland,  Ohio,  over  the  telephone  later  that 
night.  As  I  sat  in  my  hotel  room  afterward  I  realized 
that  three  great  emeritus  officials  of  Maryville  College 
— Dr.  Wilson,  Dr.  Stevenson,  and  Miss  Caldwell — had 
gone  within  the  past  six  months  to  receive  their  eternal 
rewards.  All  had  passed  the  age  of  four  score  years. 
All  had  been  connected  with  the  College  more  than 
a  quarter  of  a  century,  two  of  them  much  more. 
I  breathed  a  prayer  of  thanksgiving  for  them  and  of 
petition  that  God  would  somehow  enable  us  who  have 
taken  up  their  work  to  build  faithfully  on  their 
foundations. 

I  opened  my  New  Testament  at  the  Epistle  to  the 
Romans  and  read  in  the  twelfth  chapter,  "I  beseech 
you,  therefore,  brethren,  by  the  mercies  of  God,  to 
present  your  bodies  a  living  sacrifice,  holy,  acceptable 
to  God,  which  is  your  spiritual  service."  I  read  on 
into  the  thirteenth  chapter,  "Let  every  soul  be  in 
subjection  to  the  higher  powers:  for  there  is  no  power 
but  of  God."  And  in  the  fourteenth  chapter,  "For 
whether  we  live,  we  live  unto  the  Lord;  or  whether 
we  die,  we  die  unto  the  Lord:  whether  we  live  there- 
fore, or  die,  we  are  the  Lord's."  I  read  in  the  fif- 
teenth chapter  that  '"we  that  are  strong  ought  to  bear 
the  infirmities  of  the  weak"  and  Paul's  prayer  that 
"the  God  of  hope  fill  you  with  all  joy  and  peace 
in  believing."  All  of  those  Scriptures  seemed  good 
to  read  as  I  thought  of  Miss  Molly's  life  and  work. 
Then  I  read  on  into  the  sixteenth,  which  is  the  last 
chapter  of  Romans.  It  contains  a  long  list  of  names 
of  Paul's  friends  to  whom  he  wished  to  send  greetings. 
"Salute  Prisca  and  Aquila,  my  fellowworkers  in  Christ 


Jesus,"  he  said.  And  in  the  midst  of  the  salutations, 
in  the  sixth  verse,  he  continued,  "Salute  Mary,  who 
bestowed  much  labor  on  you." 

Of  course  Paul  was  not  speaking  of  Mary  Ellen 
Caldwell  or  of  any  other  person  in  the  twentieth 
century.  He  was  speaking  of  someone  named  Mary 
who  in  the  first  century  had  rendered  some  large  but 
undescribed  service  to  those  who  would  read  that 
sixteenth  chapter.  But  was  he  not  saying  something 
which  ought  to  be  said  in  every  generation,  "Salute 
(honor,  express  appreciation  to  and  for)  every  person 
who  blesses  others  with  their  services."  And  even  if 
the  name  used  were  one  altogether  different,  everyone 
who  knew  her  would  recognise  how  appropriately  the 
words  might  be  read  in  a  commemoration  to  Mary 
Ellen  Caldwell.  "Salute  Mary,  who  bestowed  much 
labor  on  you." 

I 

We  think,  first  of  all,  how  the  labor  she  bestowed 
upon  the  College  and  a  multitude  of  persons  extended 
over  an  extraordinary  length  of  time. 

First,  she  was  a  student.  Attending  somewhat  ir- 
regularly during  a  period  of  ten  years,  from  1881  to 
1891,  she  took  both  her  preparatory  and  college  courses 
at  Maryville  College,  receiving  the  B.  A.  degree  in 
1891.  tier's  was  the  sixteenth  class  in  which  women 
were  accepted  as  candidates  for  the  degree.  She  was 
one  of  the  first  twenty-three  women  to  receive  the 
degree  from  Maryville  College,  which  in  turn  was 
the  first  college  in  Tennessee  to  confer  degrees  on 
women  at  all.  In  1941  she  celebrated  her  fiftieth  an- 
niversary of  graduation.  There  were  fourteen  in  the 
Class  of  1891;  six  were  living  in  1941;  Miss  Molly's 
death  leaves  only  two  of  them  now  living. 

Although  born  in  Texas  during  the  Civil  War  she 
had  been  brought  by  her  parents  to  this  community, 
and  entered  the  Preparatory  Department  of  Maryville 
College  in  1882.  only  twelve  years  after  Anderson, 
Baldwin,  and  Memorial  had  been  built  on  this  campus. 
Her  father,  William  L.  Caldwell,  was  a  native  of 
Blount  County,  had  attended  Maryville  College  before 
the  Civil  War.  and  had  become  a  teacher.  After  his 
marriage  to  Mary  Ann  Huffaker  of  Knox  County,  they 
went  by  wagon  to  Texas  whera  they  remained  a 
number  of  years  and  where  four  of  their  nine  children 
were  born.  Mary  Ellen  was  the  third.  Soon  after 
the  Civil  War  the  family  returned  to  Maryville  and 
made  their  home  here.  As  the  years  passed  all  nine  of 
the  sons  and  daughters  became  students  in  Maryville 
College.  Two  of  them,  Mary  Ellen  Caldwell  and 
Mrs.  Emma  Lee  Worley,  became  members  of  the 
Faculty,  Mrs.  Worley  serving  as  head  of  one  of  the 
dormitories  for  sixteen  years.  Another  sister,  Nannie, 
was  married  to  Judge  Moses  H.  Gamble,  who  served 
on  the  Faculty  five  years  and  on  the  Board  of  Directors 
twenty-four  years,  and  one  of  whose  sons  is  now  a 
Director.  Others  of  the  family  have  served  on  the 
Faculty  and  in  other  ways  and  many  have  been  students 
in  the  College. 

Miss  Caldwell  is  survived  by  two  sisters,  Mrs. 
Worley  of  Maryville  and  Mrs.  Ollie  Foster  of  Hunts- 
ville,  Tennessee,  and  by  sixteen  nephews  and  nieces. 
Mrs.  Worley  has  been  her  constant  companion  in  her 
failing  years. 

Before  she  received  her  college  degree  Miss  Caldwell 
had  served  one  or  two  years  as  Principal  of  the  Mary- 


SiX 


ville  Public  School.  After  receiving  her  college  degree 
she  became  a  member  of  the  College  Faculty  as  an 
Instructor  in  Latin  and  Mathematics.  Two  years  later 
she  was  asked  to  take  charge  of  Baldwin  Hall  and 
continued  there  four  years.  In  1897  she  resigned  to 
become  Principal  of  Huntsville  Academy,  a  Presby- 
terian School  at  Huntsville,  Tennessee,  and  was  there 
seven  years.  In  1904  she  returned  to  the  Maryville 
College  Faculty  to  remain  until  her  retirement  in  1936. 
She  was  Head  of  Baldwin  Hall  until  1914  and  then 
Head  of  Pearsons  Hall  until  1936.  In  1913  she  was 
given  also  the  title  of  Dean  of  Women.  After  she 
had  retired  in  1936  she  was  elected  by  the  Directors 
Dean  of  Women  Emeritus  for  life. 

Yes,  her  service  was  a  long  one.  She  was  actively 
engaged  in  educational  work  as  a  teacher  or  a  per- 
sonnel officer  in  three  institutions  for  more  than 
forty-five  years.  She  was  a  student  in  Maryville 
College  for  at  least  parts  of  eleven  years,  was  an  active 
member  of  the  Maryville  Faculty  for  thirty-seven 
years,  and  was  Dean  of  Women  Emeritus  for  almost 
nine  years.  Her  thirty-seven  years  on  the  Faculty  have 
been  exceeded  by  only  five  persons  in  Maryville 
history.  Her  total  formal  connection  with  the  Col- 
lege, as  student,  faculty  member,  and  Dean  Emeritus, 
was  fifty-seven  years.  That  covers  almost  half  the  life 
of  the  College.  All  of  her  years  have  been  years  of 
service.  We  might  well  write  with  Paul,  "Salute 
Mary,   who   bestowed   much  labor   on   you." 

II 

But  not  only  was  this  a  labor  extending  over  an 
extraordinary  length  of  time  for  one  life,  but  it  was  a 
labor  of  extraordinary  loyalty. 

This  was  an  outstanding  quality  of  her  life.  She  was 
loyal  to  her  family,  to  her  friends,  to  her  students, 
to  herself,  to  her  ideals,  to  the  Church,  to  the  College, 
to  her  colleagues,  and  above  all  to  Christ  whom  she 
sought  always  to  serve.  There  was  nothing  she  wanted 
for  herself.  She  never  sought  to  advance  her  own 
interests  or  feelings  or  popularity.  At  no  time  in  her 
long  career  was  she  found  asking  for  the  advantages 
of  money  or  recognition  or  protection,  the  three  self- 
benefits  which  even  good  men  and  women  commonly 
seek.  During  most  of  her  years  here  salaries  were  low 
and  her  responsibilities  were  large.  Her  particular 
work  involved  long  hours  and  tasks  often  difficult  and 
unpopular.  But  she  never  shirked  and  never  shifted 
unpleasant  work  or  blame  to  others. 

Her  lack  of  self-interest,  her  unselfishness,  and  her 
unwavering  loyalty  did  much  to  enable  her  to  with- 
stand the  nervous  strain  of  years  of  care  and  counsel- 
ing and  discipline. 

I  personally  have  reason  to  be  grateful  for  her 
loyalty.  I  came  to  the  presidency  after  she  had  served 
over  thiry  years  with  Dr.  Wilson  and  other  officers. 
Her  loyalty  to  Dr.  Wilson  as  President  was  a  beautiful 
one  and  constituted  what  he  counted  a  major  support 
of  his  own  arduous  labors.  I  had  formerly  been  but 
one  of  the  students  who  called  occasionally  at  her 
dormitory  for  one  of  the  girls  there.  By  no  measure- 
ment could  I  take  the  place  of  Dr.  Wilson  to  her. 
Yet  from  the  day  of  my  coming  to  that  of  her  death 
her  loyalty  to  me  was  as  sincere  and  unfailing  as  it  had 
been  to  Dr.  Wilson.  She  may  not  have  known  that  I 
noticed  that  on  her  desk  she  kept  a  little  picture  folder. 
In  one  side  was  Dr.  Wilson's  picture  and  in  the  other 


was  mine.  She  had  not  kept  his  alone,  as  certainly 
might  have  been  expected;  or  replaced  it  with  mine 
because  officially  I  had  come  to  his  office;  but  she 
merely  added  the  one  to  the  other.  Her  loyalty  was 
big  enough  for  both. 

Let  us  all  write,  "Salute  Mary,  who  bestowed  much 
labor  on"  us — a  labor  of  extraordinary  loyalty. 

Ill 

For  a  third  thing,  I  would  mention  how  her  labor 
was  bestowed  on  a   permanent  institution. 

She  was  a  loyal  member  of  New  Providence  Presby- 
terian Church  for  fifty-four  years,  joining  there  by 
certificate  on  September  25,  1891,  about  the  time  she 
joined  the  Maryville  College  Faculty.  She  invested  a 
large  service  there.  She  stood  loyally  by  the  ministers 
and  the  program.  Her  investments  there  will  con- 
tinue to  bless  future  generations. 

But  it  was  the  ministry  of  Maryville  College  which 
claimed  her  largest  effort  as  teacher,  counselor,  dormi- 
tory head,  dean.  And  one  year  a  quarter  of  a  century 
ago  she  took  the  place  of  Miss  Margaret  Henry,  who 
had  died,  and  travelled  and  spoke  as  a  Field  Scholar- 
ship Secretary.  She  built  herself  into  the  institution. 
Her  loyalty  to  its  purposes,  her  willingness  to  bury 
herself  in  its  interests,  her  good  judgment  and  common 
sense  in  counsel,  her  daily  labors,  and  Christian  life — 
all  this  and  more  became  part  of  the  warp  and  woof 
of  Maryville's  being.  A  great  deal  of  the  College's 
moral  and  religious  structure  is  due  to  Miss  Molly's 
faith  and  courage,  more  than  she  or  anyone  could 
know. 

She  "lived  and  worked  and  retired  from  her  labor 
and  died.  But  her  work  has  not  died.  She  put  her 
efforts  into  an  institution  which  was  here  before  her, 
which  will  live  long  after  her  earthly  life,  and  will 
transmit  her  influence  on  and  on.  Since  her  retirement 
she  has  lived  in  her  own  home  half  a  block  away 
from  the  campus  where  she  could  hear  the  college  bell 
and  see  college  people  come  and  go,  and  today  she  is 
being  buried  in  the  college  cemetery  in  view  of  the 
college  buildings  in  which  she  lived  and  worked  so  long. 

We  "salute  her,  who  bestowed  much  labor"  on  this 
College  and  on  the  Church  and  on  other  permanent 
institutions. 

IV 

In  the   fourth   place,  her  service   was  to   individuals. 

In  most  of  her  years,  she  lived  twenty-four  hours  a 
day  with  young  women.  She  knew  thousands  of  them 
by  name.  She  loved  them  and  would  make  any  per- 
sonal  sacrifice   for  them. 

By  nature  she  was  not  effusive.  She  belonged  to 
those  who  believe  that  right  is  right  and  wrong  is 
wrong  and  that  obedience  is  a  means  to  character  and 
strength.  She  had  high  standards  and  asked  others 
to  have  high  standards.  She  was  frank  and  was  un- 
concerned about  her  own  popularity  as  she  did  her 
work.  Not  every  college  girl  or  boy  understood  her 
or  was  strong  enough  in  self-discipline  to  discover  her 
warm  heart.  But  most  of  them  did  while  in  college; 
almost  all  did  as  they  grew  more  mature;  and  all 
respected  her  staunch  character  and  recognised  her 
consistent   fairness. 

There  are  hosts  of  Maryville  College  alumni  who 
thank  God  for  Miss  Molly's  standards  and  friendship. 
That  she  has  been  known  almost  exclusively  by  the 
name   "Miss   Molly"  is  testimony   to   the  love  and   re- 

SEVEN 


spect   in   which   she   has   been    held. 

When  her  eightieth  birthday  was  approaching  the 
fact  became  known  and  she  was  almost  overwhelmed 
by  messages  and  flowers  and  visitors.  And  today 
there  came  among  the  messages  and  flowers  an  orchid 
from  a  group  of  former  college  girls  who  as  a  group 
have  kept  in  touch  with  her  by  writing  and  coming 
back.  Today  they  sent  an  orchid  for  her  to  wear 
as  she  goes  to  her  last  resting  place.  It  is  an  expres- 
sion  in   which   thousands   would   willingly   share. 

She  has  invested  her  life  in  other  lives — who  would 
salute  her,  for  she  has  bestowed  much  labor  on  them. 

V 

There  is  one  last  word,  a  word  hardly  necessary  for 
it  has  been  implied  in  all  that  we  have  been  saying. 
But  let  it  be  set  out  alone  for  emphasis.  It  is  this: 
Her's   has   been   a   Christian   labor. 

She  believed  in  God,  the  Father  Almighty,  and  in 
Jesus  Christ  his  only  Son,  our  Lord,  and  in  the  Bible, 
the  word  of  God.  She  believed  the  promises  and  the 
commandments  also.  She  had  accepted  Christ  as  her 
Saviour  and  Lord  and  lived  in  daily  consciousness  of 
his  presence.  She  was  one  of  the  best  listeners  any 
preacher  ever  had  in  this  Chapel,  something  not 
universally  true  even  in  good  college  faculty  folk.  She 
did  her  work  in  a  constant  spirit  of  prayer.  She  en- 
gaged in  education,  but  to  her  it  must  always  be 
Christian  education.  She  had  one  supreme  ideal  for 
Maryville  College,  that  it  should  be  a  Christian  college. 
She  wanted  above  all  else  that  Maryville  students 
should  be  Christian  students. 

Her  going  leaves  another  empty  place  among  us. 
But  it  is  a  triumphal  entry  for  her.  By  reason  of 
strength  her  years  have  been  four  score.  We  rejoice 
in  her  mighty  contribution  toward  a  wholesome 
Christian  world.  With  the  Apostle  we  say,  "Salute 
Mary,  who  bestowed  much  labor  on  you" — a  labor 
extending  over  an  extraordinary  length  of  time,  a  labor 
of  extraordinary  loyalty,  a  labor  bestowed  on  a  per- 
manent institution,  a  labor  bestowed  on  individual 
persons,  a  Christian  labor. 

And  now  she  has  rested  from  her  labors.  Let  us 
enter  into   them.

The  Gold  Star  Roll 
On  the  two  Service  Flags  in  the  Chapel  there  are 
still  1,000  stars,  although  at  this  date  (March  28, 
1945)  1,057  former  Maryville  College  students  and 
faculty  are  known  to  have  entered  the  armed  forces. 
Additional  stars  will  be  added  The  flag  to  your  left 
as  you  face  the  platform  is  filled  with  665  stars;  the 
flag  to  your  right  is  but  partially  filled  with  335  stars. 
For  the  past  year  the  flag  to  the  left  has  had  two 
gold  stars  and  the  one  to  the  right  three  gold  stars. 
We  have  now  changed  eight  more  of  the  stars  on  each 
of  the  flags  from  blue  to  gold.  We  call  the  roll  of 
the  21  Maryville  College  men  whom  these  gold  stars 
represent.

plane  went  down  off  the  coast  of  California.  The 
circumstances  of  this  latest  death  of  which  we  know 
appear  strikingly  similar  to  those  attending  the  death 
of  Weldon  Baird,  our  first  gold  star  man,  three  years 
earlier. 


Since    this    dedication   service,    word   has    come    of   the

DEBATE 

The  College  has  during  the  year  maintained  a  debate 
squad  under  the  direction  of  Professor  David  H. 
Briggs.  Maryville  students  have  participated  in  a  con- 
siderable number  of  debates  and  other  forensic  contests 
both  at  Maryville  and  away  with  gratifying  success. 
The  subject  being  debated  this  year  by  colleges  in  Pi 
Kappa  Delta  is  "Resolved:  That  the  federal  government 
should  enact  legislation  requiring  the  settlement  of  all 
labor  disputes  by  compulsory  arbitration  when  voluntary 
means  of  settlement  have  failed,  constitutionality 
conceded."

WILLIAM  PATTON  STEVENSON 

Address  by  Ralph  Waldo  Lloyd, 

President   of   Maryville    College 

At   the   Funeral   Service   on   November   8,    1944, 

In    the    Elizabeth    R.    Voorhees    Chapel, 

Maryville    College,    Maryville,   Tennessee 

Acts    18:24,    25 — An   eloquent   man    (who)    spake    and 

taught  accurately  the  things  concerning  Jesus. 

In  the  Book  of  the  Acts,  the  18th  chapter,  in  the 
24th  and  25th  verses,  we  read  that  "Apollos,  an  Alex- 
andrian by  race,  an  eloquent  man,  came  to  Ephesus: 
and  he  was  mighty  in  the  scriptures.  This  man  had 
been  instructed  in  the  way  of  the  Lord;  and  being 
fervent  in  spirit,  he  spake  and  taught  accurately  the 
things  concerning  Jesus."  Apollos  was  one  of  the 
strong  characters  of  the  early  Church,  a  man  of  great 
eloquence,  whose  influence  as  a  Christian  preacher 
is  evident  from  more  than  one  account  in  the  New 
Testament. 

The  description  of  him  as  "an  eloquent  man  .  .  . 
(who)  spake  and  taught  accurately  the  things  concern- 
ing Jesus"  is  appropriate  also  as  a  description  of  Dr. 
William  Patton  Stevenson  in  whose  memory  we  hold 
this  service.  Dr.  Stevenson  spoke  from  this  platform 
regularly  twice  a  week  for  more  than  twenty  years. 
His  eloquence  became  a  tradition  among  the  thousands 
of  college  students  who  heard  him.  Often  when  you 
meet  them  they  say,  "I  have  never  heard  anyone  who 
could  use  words  as  could  he.  And  at  the  same  time 
his  sermons  were  practical  and  he  and  Mrs.  Stevenson 
were  fine  people."     So  say  the  alumni. 

Yes,  like  Appollos,  he  was  "an  eloquent  man." 
I 
His    eloquence    was    in    no    small    measure    due    to    his 
preparation. 

He  was  born  in  West  Alexander,  Pennsylvania,  the 
son  of  Rev.  Josias  and  Eleanor  Patton  Stevenson,  on 
December  24,  1860.  He  grew  up  in  a  United  Presby- 
terian manse  and  entered  Jefferson  Academy  at  Canons- 
burg,  Pennsylvania,  in  1876  at  the  age  of  16.  In  1882, 
when  he  was  22,  he  received  the  Bachelor  of  Arts 
degree  from  Westminster  College,  New  Wilmington, 
Pennsylvania,  and  entered  Union  Theological  Seminary, 
New  York  City.  After  one  year  there  he  transferred 
to  Western  Theological  Seminary,  Pittsburgh,  and  in 
1885  graduated  with  the  degree  of  Bachelor  of  Divinity. 
This  home  background  and  schooling  would  be  excel- 
lent fundamental  preparation  for  the  ministry  even  now, 
and  in  those  days  when  institutions  of  higher  learning 
were  attended  by  comparatively  few,  his  was  an  unusual 
preparation. 

To  this  he  added  frequent  and  extensive  travel  As 
a  young  man  he  spent  almost  a  year  riding  over  the 
British  Isles  and  Europe  on  one  of  the  high  bicycles 
of  the  period,  visiting  many  places  and  people  of  in- 
terest. And  for  more  than  half  a  century  since  that 
time  he  has  continued  to  travel.  His  last  trip  abroad 
was  in  1938  when  he  and  Mrs.  Stevenson  went  around 
the  world.  His  last  long  automobile  trip  in  this  coun- 
try was  a  remarkable  one  of  ten  thousand  miles  to  the 
Pacific  Northwest,  on  which  at  the  age  of  eighty  he 
drove  his  own  car  and  travelled  alone.  I  have  never 
known  anyone  who  remembered  so  much  in  detail  or 
could  describe  more  eloquently  the  places  and  people 
of  his  travels,  including  the  travels  of  a  half  century 
ago. 

TEN 


DR.    STEVENSON 

He  read  widely  and  constantly,  alike  the  classics  and 
contemporary  books  and  magasines.  The  English  Bible 
had  a  large  place  in  his  reading.  This  continued  until 
his  strength  failed  near  the  end.  He  never  tired  of 
good  books.  And  they  did  much  toward  his  unusual 
mastery  of  language. 

His  travels,  his  reading,  his  long  experience,  his 
human  interests  made  him  a  conversationalist  of  rare 
charm. 

Yes,  his  preparation  did  much  to  develop  his  God- 
given  abilities;  he  was  "an  eloquent  man  .  .  .  (who) 
spake  and  taught  accurately  the  things  concerning 
Jesus." 

II 
His  service  to  the  churches  was  long  and  distinguished 

On  December  15,  1885,  he  was  ordained  a  minister 
of  the  Presbyterian  Church  in  the  U.  S.  A.,  although 
he  had  been  reared  in  the  United  Presbyterian  Church. 
At  that  time  he  became  pastor  of  the  Avalon  Presby- 
terian Church  which  he  had  helped  to  organise,  not  far 
from  the  Seminary  where  he  had  graduated  in  the 
spring.  Two  years  later  he  accepted  a  call  to  Mauch 
Chunk  in  eastern  Pennsylvania.  In  June  of  that  year 
he  was  married  to  Elisabeth  M.  Cooper  of  Allegheny, 
now  part  of  Pittsburgh,  by  whose  earthly  remains  his 


body  is  to  be  laid  today.  He  was  pastor  in  Mauch 
Chunk  four  years;  in  Titusville,  Pennsylvania,  seven 
years;  in  Park  Church,  Syracuse,  New  York,  four  years: 
and  in  First  Church,  Yonkers,  New  York,  fifteen  years. 
The  last  three  were  among  the  strong  churches  of  their 
States.  From  Yonkers  he  came  to  Maryville  College 
where  he  served  as  College  Pastor,  preaching  regularly 
in  the  chapel  each  Sunday  evening  and  each  Wednes- 
day  morning  for  23  years,  a  test  of  preaching  capacity 
which  few  could  meet  successfully.  During  most  of  his 
years  as  College  Pastor  he.  served  also  as  supply  min- 
ister of  the  Shannondale  Presbyterian  Church  in  the 
northern  suburbs  of  Knoxville,  driving  there  to  preach 
every  Sunday  morning. 

Thus  he  was  an  installed  pastor  in  five  churches  in 
Pennsylvania  and  New  York,  and  was  a  College  Pastor 
and  regular  supply  minister  in  Tennessee.  His  active 
preaching  extended  to  55  years,  and  he  was  an  or- 
dained minister  of  the  Gospel  for  59  years.  He  not 
only  served  as  pastor  of  six  local  churches  and  a  col- 
lege, but  also  served  the  Church  at  large  as  a  member 
of  the  Board  of  Foreign  Missions  and  in  other  ways. 
While  a  pastor  in  Syracuse  he  was  awarded  the  honor- 
ary degree  of  Doctor  of  Divinity  by  Syracuse  Univer- 
sity. While  College  Pastor  he  received  the  honorary 
degree  of  Doctor  of  Laws  from  Maryville  College.  Al- 
though he  cared  little  for  offices  or  honors  they  came 
to  him  from  time  to  time.  His  name  appeared  in 
"Who's  Who  in  America"  40  years  ago,  when  the  list 
was  smaller  than  it  is  now.  Dr.  Wilson  in  1917  wrote 
from  New  York  to>  other  officers  of  the  college,  "Dr. 
Stevenson  in  an  excellent  speaker  .  .  .  and  is  very 
highly  respected  in  New  York." 

So  today  we  recall  how  for  more  than  half  a  century 
he  was  "an  eloquent  man  .  .  .  (who)  spake  and  taught 
accurately  the  things  concerning  Jesus." 

Ill 

The    story    of    his    coming    to    Maryville    College    is    a 
romantic  one. 

Or  as  Dr.  Wilson  once  put  it,  "The  whole  story  reads 
like  romance.  But  it  is  vastly  better  than  romance — it 
is  Providence."  I  have  this  week  read  some  of  the 
story  in  Dr.  Wilson's  files.  First,  there  is  a  note  that 
Dr.  Wilson  called  on  Dr.  Stevenson  in  New  York  and 
presented  him  a  copy  of  the  newly  published  history 
of  the  College.  That  was  on  January  4,  1917.  There 
then  is  a  letter  in  Dr.  Stevenson's'  handwriting  dated  at 
Yonkers  on  Hudson  February  15,  1917,  which  begins 
thus: 

"My  dear  Dr.  Wilson, — Owing  to  the  pressure  of 
many  pastoral  duties  it  has  been  diffcult  for  me  to  get 
an  opportunity  to  read  your  'Century  of  Maryville 
College'  you  were  so  kind  as  to  present  me.  Last  week, 
however,  I  found  an  evening  I  could  give  to  it,  and 
once  started  on  your  thrillingly  .  .  .  inspiring  record 
of  the  labors  and  achievements  of  dauntless  faith,  tire- 
less patience,  heroic  courage,  and  martyr-like  self-sacri- 
fice, I  could  not  lay  it  down  until  I  had  read  it 
through  ...  It  has  gripped  and  stirred  me  as  nothing 
of  the  kind  has  done  for  a  long  time." 

That  was  the  beginning.  Four  months  later  Dr.  and 
Mrs.  Stevenson  arrived  in  Maryville  to  live,  having  left 
the  prominent  pastorate  at  Yonkers  to-  enter  service 
here.  And  to  do  it  in  a  way  no  one  else  has  done 
before  or  since:  without  any  salary  from  the  College. 
Not  only  so  but  to  build  through  the  gift  of  a  personal 


friend  of  Mrs.  Stevenson  the  House-in-the-Woods  as  a 
Perpetual  Memorial  in  honor  of  Mr.  and  Mrs.  William 
Cooper,  parents  of  Mrs.  Stevenson  and  of  Mrs.  John 
Walker  who  now  lives  at  Morningside  nearby,  to  be 
used  as  a  College  Pastor's  residence.  Also  they  estab- 
lished a  substantial  portion  of  a  permanent  endowment 
of  a  College  Pastor's  salary. 

For  23  years  Dr.  Stevenson  continued  his  regular 
service  "without  money  and  without  price"  as  the 
prophet  Isaiah  put  it  long  ago.  Maryville  College 
celebrated  its  125th  anniversary  last  month.  One  of 
the  greatest  providential  favors  in  all  its  history  was 
the  coming  and  serving  of  Dr.  and  Mrs.   Stevenson. 

IV 

Their   contributions  to  the   life   of  the   College   and   its 
young  people  were  many  and  varied 

One  was_  their  home.  For  years  it  was  a  center  of 
culture  and  friendliness  for  students,  faculty,  and 
others.  Frequqently  whole  classes  and  other  large 
groups  were  entertained  there.  I  talked  of  that  when 
we  held  a  service  like  this  for  Mrs.  Stevenson  five  years 
ago.  She  gave  a  very  large  part  of  their  united 
service.  A  letter  about  them  in  1917  says,  "He  is  im- 
mensely popular  and  his  wife  is  as  popular  and  prudent 
.  .  .  and  is  the  leading  Christian  lady  of  Yonkers."  He 
was  never  the  same  after  she  died.  Often  he  would 
say  to  me,  "I  am  like  a  watch  whose  mainspring  is 
gone."  That  is  one  reason  that  this  memorial  service 
today  is  as  nearly  as  possible  a  duplicate  of  that  held 
for  her  in  1939.  The  music  is  the  same,  the  Scripture 
passages  the  same,  the  pallbearers  the  same,  many  o 
the  other  participants  the  same.  He  helped  plan  her 
service,  and  leaving  no  requests  for  his  own  except 
that  he  be  laid  away  in  his  pulpit  gown,  we  are  re- 
peating for  him  the  service  used  for  her. 

Of  course,  there  was  his  service  as  a  preacher.  In 
President  Wilson's  Annual  Report  in  1921  are  these 
sentences  about  Dr.  Stevenson's  weekly  preaching  in 
the  chapel:  "The  entire  student  body  has  .  .  .  listened 
to  a  most  remarkable  series  of  addresses  each  dealing 
with  some  phase  of  student  religious  life.  These  ad- 
dresses, if  collected  and  printed  just  as  delivered, 
would  form  a  volume  of  college  sermons  unexcelled 
by  any  ever  published." 

In  1927,  on  the  tenth  anniversary  of  Dr.  and  Mrs. 
Stevenson's  coming,  the  Directors  adopted  an  im- 
pressive minute  prepared  evidently  by  Dr.  Wilson. 
One  sentence  is  this:  "The  wisdom,  the  appropriateness, 
the  common  sense,  the  religious  earnestness,  and  the 
moving  eloquence  of  Dr.  Stevenson  have,  impossible 
as  it  would  seem,  steadily  increased  from  week  to 
week,  until  his  addresses  delivered  to  our  college  audi- 
ences have  seemed  to  us  so  finished  and  so  inspiring 
as  to  be  incomparable." 

When  the  present  speaker  came  to  Maryville  Dr. 
Stevenson  was  seventy  and  was  planning  to  retire.  I 
urged  him  to  delay  that  step  and  he  continued  to 
preach  here  for  almost  ten  years  more.  As  I  sat 
beside  him  on  the  platform  I  never  saw  him  use  a  note 
of  paper  even  for  the  Scripture  references  until  he 
began  to  fail.  And  those  who  have  been  here  all  the 
years  cannot  recall  his  repeating  any  material.  He  was 
indeed  "an  eloquent  man." 

It  was  he  who  inaugurated  the  Sunday  Vesper  and 
the  Wednesday  preaching  services  and  who  brought 
into    being    the    Choir.      He    loved    to    work    in    the 

ELEVEN 


Woods  and  the  section  around  his  house  was  kept  in 
attractive  order.  They  were  both  buoyant  personalities 
and  kept  their  youth  long.  A  feature  newspaper 
article  when  he  was  77  called  him  the  only  man  in 
Tennessee  who  could  play  the  golf  course  in  his  age. 
About  a  dozen  years  ago  they  flew  to  San  Francisco, 
remained  overnight,  and  flew  back,  saying  they  had 
never  seen  America  from  the  air  and  wished  to  do  so. 
He  contributed  generously  to  various  funds.  One  was 
the  endowment  of  the  College  Cemetery  where  we 
are   now  to  take  him. 

His  last  direct  message  to  me  was  written  by  his 
son  who  said,  "He  (Father)  also  told  me  to  say  that 
he  is  'slipping  in  everything  but  his  affection  for  you, 
the    College,    and   his   kind   Maryville   friends'." 

The  last  sermon  which  he|  preached  was  at  the 
Shannondale  Church.  He  entitled  it  "A  Sermon  to 
Old  People."  In  it  he  described  the  difficulty  of 
ending  life  well,  the  beauty  of  old  age  when  it  is  lived 
well,  and  the  radiant  hope  of  heaven  which  increases 
with  the  years.  "There  are  ten  thousand  things  I 
want  to  see"  about  the  future  life,  he  said.  "There 
are  a  million  things  I  want  explained;  things  about 
myself,  about  you,  about  God,  about  the  course  of 
human  history,  about  the  government  of  the  world  .  .  . 
I  wonder  how  it  looks  over  there  .  .  .1  think  the  time 
will  come  when  I  shall  be  quite  willing  to  die  in  order 
to  find  out  about  these  things  .  .  .  Ah,  my  friends, 
what  joy,  what  beauty,  what  glory  awaits  us." 

He  was  "an  eloquent  man  .  .  (who)  spake  and 
taught    accurately    the    things    concerning    Jesus." 

THE   1945   FEBRUARY  MEETINGS 

Under  the  leadership  of  Rev.  Dr.  Frank  H.  Caldwell, 
President  of  the  Louisville  Presbyterian  Seminary  (a 
seminary  jointly  under  the  Presbyterian  Churches 
U.  S.  A. 'and  U.  S.),  the  February  Meetings,  held 
from  the  7th  to  the  15th  (February  7  to  15),  were 
most  effective.  Students  and  Faculty  found  Dr.  Cald- 
well a  preacher  of  unusual  power  and  the  whole  life 
of  the  campus  and  the  hundreds  of  individual  lives 
touched  were  greatly  blessed.  The  response  was  earnest 
and  wide  spread.  Dr.  Stringham,  for  the  twenty-third 
year,  gave  his  wholesome  and  able  leadership  to  the 
music   of  the   services.

EASTER  ON  THE  CAMPUS 
During  the  past  decade  the  Easter  season  has  been 
increasingly  observed  on  the  Maryville  campus,  with 
the  Easter  Sunrise  Service  probably  the  central  event. 
For  a  number  of  years  the  program  below  has  been 
followed: 

Palm   Sunday  Vespers — Special   music   service 
Holy   Week— Daily   chapel   readings   of   His   last   week 

and   anthems 

Noonday  student  services

RECREATION  CENTER 

Early  in  the  current  semester  an  organised  student 
recreation  center  was  put  into  operation  in  Bartlett 
Hall.  A  committee  representing  various  student  organi- 
zations and  the  faculty  supervise  the  program  through 
a  large  number  of  volunteers  and  under  a  carefully 
worked  out  plan.  The  center  is  open  after  lunch  and 
dinner  each  weekday  and  at  certain  hours  during  the 
afternoon.  Bartlett  Hal!  is  temporarily  available  because 
of  the  reduced  number  of  men  students.

REPORT  OF  THE  125TH  ANNIVERSARY 
CELEBRATION 

The  October  Alumni  Magazine  gave  in  some  detail 
the  plans  for  the  125th  anniversary  observance  on 
October  22.  These  plans  were  carried  out  as  an- 
nounced and  the  occasion  was  pronounced  a  successful 
and  significant  one.  At  the  morning  service  in  the 
chapel  Rev.  Dr.  Roy  E.  Vale,  Moderator  of  the  Gen- 
eral Assembly  of  the  Presbyterian  Church  in  the 
U.  S.  A.  and  a  member  of  the  Board  of  Directors  of 
the  College,  gave  a  very  impressive  address  entitled 
"Stars  in  the  Night."  President  Lloyd  presided  and 
others  who  participated  included  Rev.  Dr.  Charles  L. 
King,  Moderator  of  the  General  Assembly  of  the  Pres- 
byterian Church  in  the  U.  S.,  President  John  Mc- 
Sween  of  Tusculum  College,  Judge  S.  O  Houston, 
Chairman  of  the  Board  of  Directors,  and  the  pastors 
of  the  Maryville  churches.  At  the  afternoon  service 
Dr.  King's  address  on  "Our  Debt  to  the  Christian  Col- 
leges" was  a  fitting  climax  to  the  day's  observance. 
Judge  Houston  presided  at  this  service  and  others  who

You  will  be  interested  in  the  fact  that  last  year 
represented  the  highest  figure  in  receipts  for  Alumni 
dues  in  the  history  of  the  Association.  $1,072.00.  The 
figure  for  this  year,  to  date,  has  surpassed  last  year, 
$1,195.50,  with  reason  for  hopes  that  it  may  reach  the 
all  time  high  of  $1,200.00.  But  we  want  to  notice 
that  the  increased  prices  and  costs  have  kept  our  bal' 
ance  down  to  what  it  usually  has  been.     Our  treasury 


is  always  heaviest  in  the  spring  at  the  time  our  financial 
reports  are  made  up  because  dues  are  collected  at 
that  time.  Our  balance  in  the  spring  could  be  easily 
deceptive  as  it  might  be  regarded  as  a  balance  carried 
over  from  a  previous  year,  whereas  actually  it  is  the 
operating  balance  which  must  carry  us  twelve  months 
until  another  dues  collecting  period. 

We  have  been  trying  to  mail  receipts  to  every  one 
from  whom  any  money  is  received.  These  receipts 
are  taken  from  a  numbered  and  bound  series  which 
are  subject  to  audit.  If  you  have  failed  to  get  a  receipt, 
please  write  us  as  it  is  our  desire  for  every  one  to 
have  the  assurance  that  their  money  is  reaching  the 
intended  destination.  Our  books  are  so  kept  that  they 
are  automatically  audited  with  those  of  the  College 
Treasurer,  with  the  exception  of  these  receipts  which 
are  subject  to  inspection  at  any  time  and  will  reveal 
any  difference  easily.  You  can  help  us  build  the  high 
confidence  that  we  want  in  your  Alumni  Office  by 
letting  us  know  if  you  fail  to  get  your  receipt. 

You  will  notice  that  the  Living  Endowment  receipts 
for  19434944  is  $907.75,  which  is  down  from  some- 
thing over  $1,000.00  from  1942-1943.  Also  to  date  this 
year  they  are  only  $784.50,  which  is  still  further  down 
from  last  year.  Some  of  the  drop  is  the  fault  of  the 
Alumni  Office  which  just  has  not  had  the  labor  re- 
quired to  get  out  the  notices  all  along  and  as  promptly 
as  they  should  have  been.  Some  of  the  drop  is  also 
accounted  for  by  the  circumstances  in  which  some  of 
our  younger  alumni  are  thrown  by  the  war.  However 
the  interest  of  the  Class  of  1945  warrants  our  con- 
tinued faith  in  the  Living  Endowment.  Out  of  the 
seventy-seven  members  of  the  Class  of  1945  forty-seven 
made  pledges  totalling  $279.00  annually. 

There  are  two  other  aspects  of  the  Living  Endow- 
ment that  we  are  quite  proud  of:  (1)  we  have  always 
insisted  that  the  pledges  were  conditional  and  that 
there  would  never  be  any  embarrassment  over  failure 
to  meet  them;  several  have  written  in  that  they  could 
not  meet  their  pledges  this  year;  some  have  said  that 
they  were  entering  graduate  school  and  could  not  meet 
them  for  three  additional  years;  while  still  others  have 
not  responded  from  a  lack  of  the  time  or  feeling  of 
the  necessity  to  write;  when  a  pledge  is  not  paid  it 
does  not  accumulate;  one  who  is  forced  to  skip  a  year 
or  more  may  take  it  up  again  without  any  balance  to 
be  caught  up  with  unless  he  wishes  to  do  it  volun- 
tarily; the  pledges  are  conditioned  upon  (a)  desire 
to  meet  them,  (b)  ability  to  meet  them;  (2)  the  other 
thing  that  we  are  proud  of  is  the  number  of  alumni 
who  send  in  the  pledges  with  their  first  contribution 
after  several  months  or  even  years  out  of  college  and 
add  themselves  to  that  group  who  want  to  show  their 
gratitude  in  a  way  which  will  pass  on  to  others  what 
they  have  received  from  hands  which  have  gone  before 
them. 

Your  Alumni  Office  will  appreciate  any  information 
which  you  can  and  will  send  it.  It  regrets  that  it  can- 
not render  all  the  services  requested  as  promptly  as  it 
would  like.  Many  of  your  addresses  are  no  good  and 
your  cards  are  in  the  Address  Unknown  files.  We 
make  every  effort  to  trace  them  but  often  find  that 
we  do  not  have  sufficient  clues  to  get  results.  It  is 
the  desire  of  the  office  to  serve  you  and  Alma  Mater 
and  to  facilitate  your  service  to  Alma  Mater.  Let 
us  hear  from  you.
