Dear  Fellow  Alumni: 

Six  months  ago,  after  crossing  the  Pacific  by  air,  I  mailed  from  Shanghai  a  lettei  which  was  published  on  I 
page  of  the  October  Alumni  Magazine.     I  am  writing  this    from    Maryville    where    I    arrived    on    January    24. 

Between  the  two  letters  were  three  months  in  China,  one  week  in  the  Philippines,  a  month  in  India,  and  now 
two  months  in  the  United  State-.  At  the  request  of  the  Editor  I  have  written  for  another  page  a  summary  oi 
the    trip   and    the    purpose    for   which    it    was    made. 

The  Chapel  Fire 
Main-  ol  you  already  know  of  the  calamity  which  came  to  the  College  near  midnight  of  March  26,  when 
an  uncontrollable  fire  destroyed  Elisabeth  R.  Voorhees  Chapel.     This    letter,    which,    except    this    paragraph,    was 

written  before  that  occurred,  is  about  other  things  and  1  am  letting  it  stand  and  writing  a  brief  article  elsewhere 
DOUt  the  fire.  But  we  arc  so  grieved  and  absorbed  just  now  by  the  loss  of  our  beloved  and  useful  Chapel  that 
it  is  only  by  an  effort  that  I  resist  the  tendency  to  rewrite  the  letter  around  this  one  subject.  It  is  imperative 
that  we  undertake  at  once  the  tremendous  task  of  rebuilding  the  Chapel  and  the  Fine  Arts  facilities  destroyed, 
and  I  shall  be  saying  much  about  that  in  the  months  ahead.  May  I  appeal  to  all  alumni  to  assist  as  much  as  they 
possibly  can.  There  was  insurance  but  of  course  it  could  not  approach  the  amount  needed  to  build  under 
present  conditions  the  facilities  we  must  have. 

A   Vigorous   College  Year 

One  finds  that  the  return  of  men  students  to  American  colleges  has  changed  the  complexion  of  campus  life 
markedly  during  the  past  two  years  and  especially  during  the  last  year.  The  fact  that  so  large  a  proportion  of 
the  men  are  veterans  makes  the  difference  greater  than  would  be  the  case  otherwise.  When  college  closed 
last  spring  Maryville  had  497  students,  of  whom  119  were  men.  When  college  opened  for  the  present  year 
there  were  833  students,  of  whom  433  were  men;  26S  of  the  men  and  five  women  were  veterans.  Most  of 
the  G.I.'s  at  Maryville,  as  at  other  colleges,  are  doing  good  academic  work  and  are  fitting  into  the  College's  life 
satisfactorily.  There  have  been  fewer  personal  adjustment  problems  than  might  have. been  expected  after  the 
fighting  of  a  war.  But,  of  course,  the  whole  situation  makes  this  a  vigorous  and  at  times  a  difficult  year — with 
facilities  suddenly  crowded,  with  available  additions  to  faculty  and  staff  scarce,  with  the  revival  of  athletics  and 
other  lapsed  activities,  with  steadily  increasing  prices,  and  with  echoes  of  all  the  turmoil  of  the  postwar  world. 
But  it  was  good  to  see  the  College  filled  again  with  the  high  quality  young  people  whom  Maryville  attracts. 

It  Is  the  128th  Year 

The  end  of  the  academic  year,  the  128th  in  the  life  of  Maryville  College,  falls  on  May  21,  1947.  It  is  not 
quite  accurate  to  say  that  this  is  the  128th  Commencement  or  even  the  128th  year  of  college  work,  because  dur- 
ing five  academic  years  between  April,  1861  and  September.  1866,  the  College  was  closed  by  the  Civil  War. 
Thus,  in  fact,  we  are  completing  the  123rd  college  year  of  classes,  but  we  use  the  full  age  of  the  College  to 
designate  the  year  in  progress  and  even  the  particular  Commencement.  On  the  page  opposite  this  one  is  a 
schedule  of  appointments  for  the  1947  Commencement,  designated  the  128th;  it  is  the  17th  since  I  began  my 
service  as  President;  it  is  the  second  since  the  surrender  of  Japan  ended  World  War  II.  This  128th  year  is 
an  important  one  in  which  the  College  is  re-establishing  many  prewar  activities,  making  adjustments  to  an 
overflowing  enrolment,  and  initiating  a  number  of  plans,  of  which  the  new  curriculum  is  probably  the  most 
important. 

The   New   Curriculum 

After  several  years  of  exploration  and  two  years  of  specific  work,  a  new  curriculum  plan  has  been  formu- 
lated and  approved  by  the  Faculty,  the  President,  and  the  Directors  for  use  next  fall.  Included  on  another  page 
in   this  issue   is   a   general   description   of  the   new  plan. 

Next   Year 

Five  facts  about  next  year  are  prominently  in  our  minds  here  just  now: 

(1)  We  must  conduct  a  vigorous  campaign  for  a  new  Chapel  and  meanwhile  get  along  without;  (2)  .ill 
dormitory  rooms  have  been  promised  and  there  is  a  long  waiting  list;  (3)  operating  prices  appear  to  be  going 
up  rather  than  coming  down;  (4)  the  new  curriculum  will  be  in  its  first  year;  (i)  we  must  have  an  unusually 
large  number  of  new  faculty  members  to  care  for  the  enrolment  and  the  additional  requirements  of  the  new 
curriculum.  We  are  announcing  some  increase  in  tuition,  from  $75  to  $90  a  semester,  and  retaining  an  increase 
in  room  and  board  made  at  Christmas  this  year.  We  wish  no  increase  were  necessary  for  we  are  permanently 
committed  to  a  policy  of  "low  expense  to  students,"  but  it  seems  necessary  under  present  economic  conditions. 
ind  it  leaves  our  charges  still  in  the  lowest  brackets  found  among  American  colleges.  Educational  statisticians 
estimate  that  the  nation's  college  enrolment  will  not  reach  its  peak  before  1950.  This  year  there  are  over  two 
million  college  students,  of  whom  more  than  one  half  are  veterans,  compared  to  a  total  of  one  and  one-thud 
millions,  the  high  prewar  mark.  While  the  number  of  our  applications  is  very  large  we  think  it  wise  to  continue 
for  the  present  at  least  to  limit  the  enrolment  to  approximately  eight  hundred,  rather  than  to  follow  the  example 
of  the  many  institutions  which  have  taken  far  more  students   than    faculty,   dormitories,   or  laboratories  warrant.

THE  FRED  HOPE  FUND 

The  annual  appeal  for  the  Fred  Hope  Fund  was 
made  November  27.  The  amount  subscribed  was 
$1,715.35,   the  largest  on  record. 

The  history  of  this  Fund  goes  back  to  1900  when 
Fred  Hope  was  a  student.  He  was  one  of  a  little 
group  of  students  (Fred  Schell  and  Clinton  H.  Gilling- 
ham  were  others)  who  felt  that  Maryville  students 
should  have  a  direct  share  in   financial  support  of  the 


foreign  missions  enterprise.     They  collected  a  fund  of 
$50  toward  support  of  a  native  worker  in  China. 

Fred  Hope  himself  went  to  West  Africa  as  a  mission- 
ary m  1907.  Sometime  between  1907  and  1911  the 
Fund,  being  promoted  again,  was  named  for  him.  The 
campaign  became  an  annual  event  and  the  funds  were 
sent  to  Fred  Hope  for  his  use  until  his  retirement. 

His  last  public  work  was  to  speak  in  Voorhees 
Chapel  in  behalf  of  this  Fund  on  November  21,  1945. 
He  went  back  to  Florida  ill  and  died  January  4,  1946. 
He  had  then  retired  from  active  service  and  was  not  to 
go  back  to  Africa,  but  his  appeal  made  a  deep  im- 
pression. 

He  and  President  Lloyd  talked  of  the  future  of 
the  Fund.  President  Lloyd  told  him  of  the  desire  of 
the  College  to  continue  to  raise  a  fund  each  year  under 
the  name  "The  Fred  Hope  Fund."  The  two  of  them 
decided  that  as  its  inception  was  for  China  and  its 
use  had  followed  Fred  to  Africa,  its  future  use  should 
be  wherever  the  College,  in  consultation  with  the 
Presbyterian  Board  of  Foreign  Missions,  might 
designate. 

The  1946-1947  Fund,  the  first  after  Fred  Hope's 
death,  is  designated  for  China,  as  was  the  first  he 
helped  to  raise. 

COLLEGE  WOODS  FURNISH  LUMBER 

The  College  Woods  make  the  Maryville  College 
campus  one  of  the  really  beautiful  campuses  of  the 
country.  Their  aesthetic  value  is  large.  The  Col- 
lege is  fortunate  that  the  "Fathers"  were  far-sighted 
enough  to  add  them  to  the  front  campus  on  which  the 
post-Civil-War  college  resumed  operation.  Great  oak 
and  walnut  trees  and  tall  pines  like  ours  do  not  exist 
extensively  in   many  areas  now. 

Occasionally  there  are  also  some  financial  benefits 
that  accrue  from  the  College  Woods.  Trees  become 
old  and  need  to  be  cut  and  some  fall  before  heavy 
wind;  they  can  be  made  into  lumber,  and  twice  within 
the  past  dozen  years  the  College  has  engaged  the 
owner  of  a  sawmill  to  bring  his  mill  into  the  Woods 
and  saw  lumber  from  trees  that  cannot  be  preserved 
longer. 

Last  fall  approximately  170,000  fe?t  of  lumber  were 
sawed  and  piled  for  curing  and  later  use.  In  these 
clays  of  lumber  scarcity  and  exorbitant  prices  this  plan 
has  unusual  value. 


MARYVILLE    BREAKFAST    AT 
GENERAL  ASSEMBLY 

There  will  be  a  complimentary  breakfast  for  all 
Maryville  College  alumni,  honorary  alumni,  former 
students,  students,  parents  of  students,  faculty,  former 
faculty,  and  directors  who  may  be  at  the  Presbyterian 
General  Assembly  in  Grand  Rapids. 

The  breakfast  will  be  on  Saturday  morning.  May  24, 
at  7:30  a.m.,  at  "The  Colony,"  209  Monroe^St.,  N.W. 
Posters  will  be  placed  at  the  Pantlind  Hotel  and  at  the 
Auditorium.  All  who  plan  to  attend  should  sign  their 
names  as  early  as  possible  on  one  of  tbiese  posters. 

President  Lloyd  will  be  present  to  report  on  his  trip 
abroad  and  on  college  plans. 


FOUR 


A  VALIANT 


STRUGGLE 


BUT    IN    VAIN 


THE  CHAPEL  DESTROYED  BY  FIRE 

The  pictures  printed  on  this  page,  on  the  front  cover 
;md  elsewhere,  tell  the  story  of  the  Chapel's  destruc- 
tion better  than  words  can  tell  it.  But  they  cannot 
convey  the  feeling  of  sorrow,  the  sense  of  loss,  or  the 
tremendous  problems  which  this  calamity  has  created. 

It  was  about  11:30  p.m.  Wednesday,  March  26,  that 
one  of  the  two  college  students  who,  as  janitors,  lived 
in  a  room  on  the  ground  floor  of  the  Chapel,  detected 
smoke  in  their  room,  opened  the  door  and  found  the 
basement  hall  full  of  smoke,  waked  his  roommate  and 
ran  to  Carnegie  to  telephone  and  obtain  help.  The 
fire  departments  of  Maryville  and  Alcoa  came  and  with 
staff  and  students  attempted  to  halt  the  fire.  But  it 
was  no  use,  the  flames  swept  through  the  building  so 
rapidly  that  within  an  hour  it  was  in  ruins.  The  pictures 
show  something  of  the  terrible  and  dramatic  progress 
of  the  flames. 

The  evidence  points  to  the  probability  that  the 
origin  was  in  the  floor  of  the  main  auditorium 
near  the  main  entrance  doors.  Various  theories 
about  the  cause  have  been  offered,  but  although 
the  College  continues  to  explore  the  possibilities  no 
conclusion  has  yet  been  reached.  There  is  something 
very  perplexing  about  the  fact  that  there  have  been 
three  fires  starting  at  different  spots  in  the  Chapel  in 
less  than  four  years.  The  first  was  on  an  afternoon 
in  December  1943:  the  second  was  just  last  fall,  .it 
about  nine  o'clock  at  night  on  Thanksgiving  Day. 
Several  thousand  dollars  damage  was  done  by  both  of 
these  fires.  Restoration  after  the  second  fire  was  not 
quite  completed  when  this  last  destructive  fire  came. 
The  first  two  began  high  up  in  the  building  at  the 
platform  end.  Why  this,  a  building  not  occupied  in 
the  usual  way  and  certainly  nol  possessing  hazards  com- 
parable to  those  in  buildings  all  over  the  city,  should 
be  the  scene  of  these  three  fires  is  a  mystery  indeed. 


It  was  impossible  to  save  anything  at  all.  Even  the 
clothes  of  the  two  students  who  discovered  the  fire 
were  burned.  The  pipe  organ,  the  Steinway  Concert 
Grand  piano,  twenty-one  other  pianos,  a  practice  organ, 
the  furnishings  of  the  Chapel  and  the  studios,  the 
stage  curtains  and  lights,  the  hymn  books,  the  libraries 
of  music  and  recordings,  over  one  hundred  choir  robes, 
the  band  uniforms,  orchestra  and  band  instruments  be- 
longing to  the  College  and  to  individual  teachers  and 
students,  and  everything  else  in  the  building,  were 
destroyed.  The  task  of  replacement  of  equipment  is 
very  large  as  this  recital  indicates.  Already  a  choir 
robe  fund  has  been  initiated  by  Mrs.  Ralph  W.  Lloyd 
and  gifts  are  being  received  for  these,  for  other  equip- 
ment, and  for  a  new  chapel. 

The  four  walls  that  were  left  standing  have  now 
been  taken  down  and  moved  away  by  a  contractor  en- 
gaged for  the  purpose.  It  was  found  that  it  would  not 
pay  to  attempt  to  reuse  the  walls  or  even  the  brick. 

Barber  and  McMurry.  Architects,  Knoxville,  have 
been  engaged  to  draw  plans  for  rebuilding,  facts 
being  brought  together,  preliminary  sketches  will  be 
ready  soon,  decisions  will  be  made  by  the  Dire. 
and  the  necessary  financial  campaign  will  be  outlined 
and  organized.  Meanwhile  alumni  are  asked  to  stand 
by  ready  to  help.  The  love  and  prayers  of  all  Mary- 
ville men  and  women  are  needed  just  now. 


NEW    OFFICE    EQUIPMENT 

We  have  just  received  a  new  Addressograph  com 
plete  with  plate  cutter,  trays  and  cabinets.  If  the 
address  to  which  this  Magazine  is  mailed  is  not  correct 
in  every  detail,  please  let  us  know  immediately.  ft' 
you  expect  to  have  a  new  address  by  next  October, 
please  let  us  have  it  together  with  the  date  it  is  to 
be  changed. 


FIVE 


INTERCOLLEGIATE   ATHLETICS   REVIVED 

It  was  not  practicable,  or  even  possible,  to  engage  in 
intercollegiate  athletics  between  the  college  year  of 
1942-1943  and  the  present  year.  But  the  teams  came 
back  with  the  men.  Maryville  College  authorities  be- 
lieve that  a  well  balanced  intercollegiate  athletic  pro- 
gram has  a  valuable  place  in  the  total  physical  educa- 
tion plan  of  the  institution.  They  do  not  believe  in 
the  practice  of  subsidisation  now  so  general  in  colleges 
as  well  as  universities  and  Maryville  teams  are  strictly 
amateur  teams  made  up  of  men  who  are  in  college  on 
exactly  the  same  basis  as  are  other  students.  There 
are  none  of  the  concessions  or  enticements  commonly 
called  "athletic  scholarships."  Because  of  this  policy 
the  College  does  not  at  present  belong  to  an  athletic 
conference,  having  withdrawn  before  the  war  because 
all  of  the  existing  conferences  now  permit  subsidisa- 
tion. Maryville  is  working  with  Sewanee  and  a  few 
others  for  a  genuinely  amateur  conference. 

A  college  without  subsidisation  as  an  inducement 
to  athletes  is  admittedly  at  a  disadvantage.  But  Mary- 
ville is  getting  along  all  right. 

Football 

In  football  our  team  won  nine  straight  games  in 
the  regular  season,  was  invited  to  play  in  the  Tangerine 
Bowl  game  at  Orlando,  Florida,  on  New  Year's  Day 
and  there  lost  the  only  game  of  the  year.  Following 
are  the  schedule  and  scores.

Basketball 

The  results  in  basketball  were  not  so  impressive  but 
were  good,  especially  in  view  of  the  fact  that  the  squad 
was  composed  almost  wholly  of  new  men  and  there 
was  little  chance  for  work  together  until  after  the 
long  Christmas  vacation  that  ended  at  the  middle  of 
January.      Following  are  the  results: 

Maryville — 49 Hiwassee — 34 

Maryville— 75  Johnson  Bible  College— 22 

Maryville — 54 Emory    and    Henry — 38

Wrestling 

For  many  years  the  Maryville  wrestling  team  has 
been  a  strong  contender  among  colleges  and  universities 
of  all  sises.  The  current  season  was  no  exception,  even 
though  the  final  count  was  five  matches  won,  one  lost, 
and    two    tied.      Here    are    the    scores:    Maryville — 26,

expected  that  about  three  other  matches  will  be 
scheduled. 

GOVERNMENT-SURPLUS  BUILDINGS 

Under  provisions  of  the  Mead  Act,  the  College  has 
obtained  two  temporary  buildings  to  supplement 
present  facilities  for  the  training  of  veterans.  These 
buildings  are  being  constructed  from  surplus  buildings 
located  at  Camp  Forrest,  Tullahoma,  Tennessee.  The 
work  of  tearing  down  the  structures,  transporting 
them  to  Maryville  and  setting  them  up  again  on  the 
College  campus  is  being  carried  on  by  a  contracting 
firm  employed  by  the  Federal  Works  Agency,  with 
no  cost  to  the  College. 

One  of  the  buildings,  a  six-room  frame  structure 
25  by  45  feet  in  sise,  has  been  erected  south  of 
Anderson  Hall,  near  the  site  of  the  old  heating  plant. 
Although  originally  intended  to  furnish  additional  of- 
fice space,  this  building  is  being  used  temporarily  for 
music  students  and  practice  rooms.  Painted  inside  and 
outside,  it  presents  a  surprisingly  neat  appearance,  in 
view  of  the  materials  used  and  the  temporary  nature 
of  the  building. 

A  larger  structure,  60  by  85  feet  in  sise,  is  being 
erected  between  Science  and  Bartlett  Halls.  It  will 
serve  as  a  supplementary  gymnasium  and  recreational 
building.  The  contract  calls  for  a  new  maple  floor 
to  be  laid  over  the  present  rough  floor,  and  a  clearance 
of  20  feet  between  floor  and  ceiling,  with  no  interior 
supports.  This  building  will  furnish  additional  much- 
needed  floor  space  for  intramural  athletics  and  other 
recreational    activities. 


THE  WORST 


IS  DONE 


EVEN  THESE 


REMAINS    ARE 


NOW   GONE 


Each  of  these  buildings  is  to  be  equipped  at  govern- 
ment expense,  provided  such  surplus  equipment  is 
available.  The  office  building  will  have  desks,  type- 
writers, chairs,  tables  and  file  cabinets.  The  gym- 
nasium will  be  equipped  with  various  items  of  gym- 
nasium apparatus.  Although  temporary  in  nature, 
these  buildings  should  serve  well  for  several  years,  and 
will  be  invaluable  in  the  present  emergency. 

Three  other  temporary  buildings  were  approved  by 
the  Federal  Office  of  Education  for  Maryville  College, 
a  building  with  music  practice  rooms,  a  recreation 
center,  and  a  dramatic  art  studio  and  workshop.  The 
appropriation  for  this  purpose,  however,  has  become 
exhausted,  so  it  is  not  likely  the  additional  buildings 
will  be  available.

AROUND    THE    WORLD 
ON  A  MISSION  TO  CHINA 

By 
Ralph  W.  Lloyd 

The  October  issue  of  the  Alumni  Magazine  carried 
reports  that  I  was  in  China  as  a  member  of  a  deputa- 
tion sent  out  by  the  Board  of  Foreign  Missions  of  the 
Presbyterian  Church  in  the  U.  S.  A.     I  had  left  Mary- 


ville  on  August  21;  I  returned  on  January  24.  The 
Editor  has  asked  me  to  write  a  sketch  of  the  mission  and 
the  journey. 

The  Journey 

American  Air  Lines  to  New  York,  United  Air  Lines 
to  San  Francisco,  Naval  Air  Transport  Service  to 
Shanghai,  landing  at  Pearl  Harbor,  Johnston  Island, 
Kwajalein,  Guam,  and  Okinawa,  and  arriving  in 
Shanghai  on  August  30.  Rev.  Dr.  Lloyd  S.  Ruland, 
of  New  York,  Secretary  for  China  of  the  Presbyterian 
Board  of  Foreign  Missions,  and  I  crossed  the  Pacific 
together.  After  ten  days  we  were  joined  by  two 
other  members  of  our  Deputation,  Dr.  William  J. 
Barnes,  a  physician  of  Englewood,  New  Jersey,  and 
Rev.  Dr.  John  B.  Weir,  of  Dehra  Dun,  India,  Secre- 
tary of  our  India  Council.  On  September  16  we 
started  a  two  months'  tour  of  the  interior  of  China. 
Three  of  us  flew  north  on  a  plane  of  the  China  Na- 
tional Aviation  Corporation  (48%  Pan  American  and 
using  American  pilots)  over  the  Communist  lines  to 
Tsinan,  the  capital  of  Shangtung  and  seat  of  Cheeloo 
University  and  other  important  work  in  which  our 
Church  participates.  After  two  days  we  flew  on 
to  Peking  where  we  were  joined  by  Dr.  Weir  and  by 
Dr.  Walline  and  Dr.  Wells  of  our  China  Emergency 
Executive  Committee,  and  later  by  Miss  Margaret 
Shannon,  of  New  York,  the  fifth  member  of  our 
Deputation,  who  had  crossed  the  Pacific  by  ship. 
Miss  Shannon  is  Secretary  for  Women's  Work  of  the 
Board  of  Foreign  Missions.  Thus  our  study  was  well 
under  way. 

After  two  weeks  we  went  by  air  south  to  Nanking, 
then,  after  two  more  weeks,  west  to  Hankow  and 
south  to  Changsha,  Siangtan,  Hengyang,  Chenhsien, 
and  Canton.  At  the  middle  of  November  we  flew 
back  to  Shanghai  for  three  weeks  of  conferences  with 
Chinese  Christians  and  missionaries  from  all  parts  of 
China,  as  at  other  principal  cities  we  had  held  con- 
ferences with  leaders  from  points  distant  from  those 
cities.  By  the  end  of  the  first  week  of  December  our 
report  to  the  Board  had  been  formulated  and  the 
Deputation  started  home  by  various  routes. 

I  had  made  plans  to  extend  my  visitation  to  our 
mission  work  in  the  Philippines  and  India.  So  I  flew 
to  Manila  and  through  the  good  agencies  of  our  mis- 
sionary leaders  visited  a  number  of  our  important 
centers  in  the  Islands.  A  week  later  I  flew  back  to 
Shanghai,  then  westward  across  China,  via  Kunming, 
over  the  Hump  and  Burma  to  Calcutta.  Then  fol- 
lowed a  month  of  intensive  visitation  across  the  North 
India  and  Punjab  Missions,  Christmas  with  Dr.  Weir  at 
Dehra  Dun,  and  arrival  at  Karachi  on  the  west  coast 
in  time  to  take  a  BOAC  (British)  seaplane  for  London. 

We  flew  by  day  and  put  up  by  night  at  Basra,  Iraq, 
at  Cairo,  Egypt,  and  at  Marseilles,  France.  On  suc- 
cessive days  our  flying  boat  landed  on  the  Euphrates 
River,  the  Nile  River,  the  Mediterranean,  and  the 
English  Channel.  After  three  days  in  London  I  took 
an  American  Overseas  Airlines  "Constellation"  for 
Ireland,  Newfoundland,  and  New  York,  leaving  Lon- 
don at  2:40  p.m.  and  landing  at  LaGuardia  Field  at 
3:20  a.m.  (of  course  turning  the  clock  back  several 
times  enroute) .     Next  day  I  flew  home  and  was  given 


EIGHT 


.i  hearty  welcome  by  family,  students,  Faculty,  and 
neighbors.  1  had  been  gone  five  months  and  three 
days,  had  circled  the  globe,  had  travelled  36,000  miles 
of  which  32,000  were  by  air,  had  been  free  of  accident 
and  illness.  I  lost  fifteen  pounds  of  weight  and  three 
inches  of  waistline  but  could  well  spare  both.  My 
present  fear  is  that  I   may  gain  them  back. 

In  Shanghai  I  saw  Orrin  R.  "Hornybuck"  Magill, 
ex. '09,  who  was  a  member  of  the  famous  football  team 
of  1906  and  has  long  been  in  YMCA  work  in  China. 
In  Peking  my  host  was  Wallace  C.  Merwin,  ex.  '27, 
who  is  serving  as  chairman  of  our  Presbyterian  work  in 
North  China.  In  Manila  I  stayed  in  the  same  build- 
ing with  Alexander  Christie,  '36,  who  is  treasurer  of 
our  work  in  that  country,  and  I  visited  the  grave  of  Dr. 
Charles  N.  Magill,  '99,  who  died  while  interned  by  the 
Japanese  during  the  war  after  almost  a  half  century  of 
notable  missionary  work  in  the  Philippines.  In  Ferose- 
pur,  India,  I  saw  Dr.  Dorothy  Lee  Ferris,  '28,  who  is 
in  charge  of  the  hospital  and  a  large  medical  program 
there.  And  elsewhere  I  was  in  touch  with  other 
Maryville  people  or  learned  of  their  work. 

The   Mission 

Our  purpose  in  going  has  been  somewhat  in  evidence 
in  the  review  of  the  trip  itself.  But  I  must  write 
more.  Sending  out  deputations  to  survey  and  report 
on  war-torn  countries  where  the  Churches  have  had 
missionary  work  has  been  a  rather  general  postwar  pro- 
cedure. The  Presbyterian  Church  in  the  U.  S.  A.  has 
so  far  sent  three — one  to  Europe,  one  to  the  Philip- 
pines and  Siam,  and  one  to  China — and  is  planning  at 
least  one  more,  to  Japan  and  Korea.  Some  other 
denominations  have  been  doing  likewise.  In  China  we 
met  several  such  representatives. 

China  is  the  country  in  which  our  Church  has  had 
its  most  extensive  work.  I  was  asked  to  go  partly 
because  of  our  considerable  participation  in  Christian 
colleges  and  schools  there  and  because  of  Maryville 
College's  Christian  program  and  missionary  spirit.  Our 
three  months'  inquiry  included  more  than  ?,000  miles 
of  travel  within  China,  visitation  to  mission  stations, 
missionaries,  churches,  Chinese  church  leaders,  colleges 
and  other  schools,  hospitals,  cities  and  villages,  public 
officials,  such  Christian  institutions  as  the  YMCA,  and 
other  enterprises  and  people  related  to  the  Church's 
task  or  useful  in  forming  estimates  and  judgments.  We 
attended  important  meetings  of  the  General  Council  of 
the  Church  of  Christ  in  China  and  the  National 
Christian  Council.  We  conferred  with  the  American 
Ambassador  to  China,  Dr.  J.  Leighton  Stuart,  with 
( reneral  Marshall,  with  Madam  Chiang  Kai  shek, 
with  the  American  Consul  Generals  in  Shanghai  and 
elsewhere,  and  with  various  Chinese  officials.  We 
brought  to  such  centers  as  Changsha.  Canton,  and 
Shanghai  representatives  of  outlying  districts  we  could 
not  visit,  for  report  and  counsel.  We  held  a  two  week 
planning  .-(inference  with  more  than  sixty  Chinese 
Christian  leaders  and  missionaries  from  throughout 
China. 

Out  of  this  process  our  Deputation  formulated  tor 
our  Board  of  Foreign  Missions  a  report  and  an  extend- 
ed body  of  recommendations  under  the   following   nine 


heads:  Administrative  Organization,  The  Lite  and  Work 
of  th<  Church  and  Women's  Work  Within  the  Church, 
Educational  Work,  Medial  Work,  Cooperative  Work, 
Personnel,  The  Restoration  Fund,  Finance  Report, 
I'm  iperty. 

Since  my  return  home  I  have  been  to  New  York 
twice  for  presentations  of  this  report.  The  Hoard  1 
adopted  some  of  the  recommendations  and  is  consider- 
ing the  others  as  rapidly  as  possible.  The  two  great 
problems  ahead  are  those  of  finding  sufficient  funds  and 
sufficient  missionaries  to  do  what  needs  to  be  done  in 
China  and  in  other  countries  as  well.  For  example, 
in  the  China  educational  field  alone  we  now  have  obli- 
gations in  five  universities,  two  medical  colleges,  two 
or  more  theological  seminaries,  three  regional  training 
schools  for  women  church  workers,  ten  or  more  other 
training  schools  for  women  workers,  ten  or  more 
nurses  training  schools,  thirty  senior  and  junior  middle 
schools,  one  school  for  the  blind  and  one  for  the 
deaf,  to  say  nothing  of  our  direct  or  indirect  relation 
to  several  hundred  elementary  schools  and  kinder- 
gartens, and  our  opportunity  to  place  missionary  per- 
sonnel in  Government  universities  and  other  institu- 
tions. Some  of  the  Christian  schools  lost  their  build- 
ings in  the  war,  all  lost  practically  their  entire  equip- 
ment, all  have  insufficient  faculty  and  especially 
Christian  faculty,  and  all  have  inadequate  operating 
funds.  Add  to  this  the  vast  needs  of  the  churches, 
chapels,  and  medical  centers,  and  the  demands  are 
staggering  indeed. 

The  call  is  the  more  imperative  because  the  way  is 
open  to  Christian  work  in  China.  Missionaries  are 
welcome  and  wanted  by  officials  and  common  people, 
by  Christians  and  non-Christians  alike.  Christian  ed- 
ucational and  medical  institutions  are  earnestly  desired 
and  overwhelmingly  patronised.  There  is  serious 
conflict  in  China  and  if  the  Communists  should  over- 
throw the  Government  the  attitude  toward  Christian 
missions  would  be  uncertain.  But  such  an  overthrow 
is  not  expected  and  the  overwhelming  body  of  Chinese 
leaders  urgently  ask  our  western  Churches  to  continue 
and  increase  their  work.  The  end  of  the  foreign  mis- 
sionary enterprise  in  China  (or  elsewhere)  will  not  be 
in  our  generation,  with  ninety-nine  per  cent  of  Chinese 
people  yet  to  be  won  for  Christ  and  a  nation  with 
one  fourth  of  the  world's  population  to  be  made 
Christian.  There  is  no  more  challenging  opportunitv 
for  the  investment  of  money  or  of  life.  There  is 
no  more  rewarding  service  open  to  the  youth  of  our 
American  churches  and  colleges. 

Similar  words  may  be  written  concerning  the  Philip- 
pines and  India.  Our  own  son,  Hal.  who  graduated 
from  Maryville  in  1943  and  from  McCormick  Seminarv 
in  1946,  is  now  a  special-term  missionary  in  the 
Philippines  under  our  Foreign  Board  (I  left  Manila 
two  weeks  before  he  arrived  and  so  missed  seeing  him 
there!). 

India  was  not  over  run  by  war  but  she  face-  a  new- 
crisis  as  she  face-  independence.  Courage  and  patience 
will  be  needed  by  the  Christian  community  there  and 
by  the  sending  Churches.  The  Philippine-;  have  an 
immense  physical  rebuilding  program  ahead  for  the 
war    destroyed    whole   cities.      China    suffered    less    from 


NINE 


property  destruction  than  might  have  been  expected, 
but  the  damage  is  very  deep.  The  Japanese  invasion 
lasted  eight  long  years.  People  are  still  hurt  and 
fatigued.  The  Chinese  Church  remains  vital  but  it 
was  weakened  and  disorganized.  Restoration  and 
long  range  encouragement  and  assistance  are  essential. 

Our  mission  was  to  discover  how  much  and  how 
soon  and  how!  The  American  Church's  mission  is  to 
find  a  way  to  rebuild  and  renew  and  reinforce  the 
Christian  enterprise  all  around  the  world!  And  Mary- 
ville  has  always  had  a  share  in  that  kind  of  mission.

is  an  effort  to  avoid  the  fragmentation  and  scatter- 
ing of  effort  that  has  been  too  much  the  rule 
under  a  more  diverse  plan  of  courses. 
III.  The  institution  of  a  program  of  Special  Studies 
(individualized  study  under  supervision  and  a 
thesis)  to  be  carried  out  by  all  students  in  the 
last  half  of  the  junior  and  the  first  half  of  the 
senior  year.  This  work  is  to  be,  while  it  is  in 
progress,  in  lieu  of  one  course,  the  student  normal- 
ly carrying  only  three  other  courses.  The  faculty 
supervisor  of  such  students  is  also  to  be  released 
from  one  course  for  each  eight  students  under  his 
supervision  The  work  will  be  in  the  student's 
major  field  and,  while  not  expected  to  be  of  re- 
search level,  may  take  many  forms  varying  with 
the  individual  student  and  with  the  nature  of  the 
subject.  It  is  not  assumed  that  brilliant  papers 
will  be  written  by  all.  but  it  is  a  hope,  bolstered 
by  some  experience,  that  even  the  weaker  student 
will  be  called  out  and  developed  in  a  way  not 
possible  under  the  old  classroom  pattern  of  treat- 
ment. Some  of  us  even  hope  for  an  aroused 
intellectual  spirit  on  the  campus — granted  always 
that  we  have  the  convinced  cooperation  of  the 
faculty — in  which  faculty  and  students  will  to- 
gether participate. 

The  faculty  supervisor  will  work  closely  with 
these  students  through  the  year,  but  in  matters  of 
form  and  style  a  general  editor,  who  will  prob- 
ably be  a  member  of  the  library  staff,  will  have 
final  word. 

The  institution  of  these  changes  is  not  expected 
greatly  to  increase  the  instructional  item  in  the 
College  budget. 

DR.  LLOYD  AND  CHURCH  UNION 

Since  1938  President  Lloyd  has  been  a  member  and 
since  1941  the  Chairman  of  the  Department  of  Church 
Cooperation  and  Union  of  the  Office  of  the  General 
Assembly  of  the  Presbyterian  Church  in  the  U.  S.  A. 
As  Chairman  he  is  responsible  for  presenting  the  re- 
ports to  General  Assembly,  introducing  fraternal  visit- 
ors, and  other  matters.  The  Department  is  the 
channel  of  contact  with  other  Churches  and  church 
and  religious  bodies  such  as  the  American  Bible  So- 
ciety, the  Federal  and  World  Council  of  Churches,  the 
Lord's  Day  Alliance,  and  the  like.  Perhaps  its  better 
known  duties  are  those  of  conducting  church  union 
negotiations. 

The  two  principal  negotiations  of  recent  years  have 
been  those  with  the  Presbyterian  Church  in  the  U.  S. 
(Southern)  and  the  Protestant  Episcopal  Church. 
President  Lloyd  has  been  almost  from  the  beginning 
on  the  responsible  committees  in  both  of  these  negotia- 
tions. At  its  General  Convention  last  fall  the  Protest- 
ant Episcopal  Church  declined  to  transmit  for  study 
a  plan  of  union  which  had  been  prepared  by  a  joint 
Presbyterian-Episcopal  committee,  and  the  future  of  the 
negotiations  is  at  present  uncertain. 

However,  there  is  encouraging  progress  in  the  re- 
union negotiations  of  the  Presbyterian  Church  in  the 
U.  S.  A.  and  the  Presbyterian  Church  in  the  U.  S. 
In    194?   the   two   Presbyterian   General   Assemblies   re- 


ceived and  transmitted  to  ministers  of  the  Churches  for 
This  study  and  report  a  tentative  plan  of  reunion  and  a 
constitution.  Since  that  time  considerable  revision  has 
been  made.  In  March  of  this  year,  the  joint  drafting 
committee  and  the  Department  and  Permanent  Com- 
mittee of  Church  Cooperation  and  Union  of  the  respec- 
tive Churches,  meeting  in  Cincinnati,  agreed  upon  a 
revised  tentative  Plan  of  Reunion  and  Constitution  for 
transmission  to  the  respective  General  Assemblies  with 
the  recommendation  that  it  be  transmitted  to  the 
Presbyteries  of  the  two  Churches  for  "study  and  com- 
ment." It  is  the  hope  that  the  Plan,  as  it  may  be 
revised  by  the  committees  during  the  year,  will  come 
back  to  the  General  Assemblies  in  1948  for  vote  and 
transmission  to  the  Presbyteries  for  their  votes.  If  this 
is  done  and  the  required  affirmative  vote  is  given  in 
both  Churches,  a  reunion  might  be  voted  in  1949  and 
consummated  in  1950.  This  is  an  end  for  which  many 
in  both  Churches  are  working  and  praying. 

THE  1947  FEBRUARY  MEETINGS 

Another  successful  series  of  the  February  Meetings 
has  come  and  gone.  Seeing  them  through  was  one  of 
President  Lloyd's  first  activities  after  his  return  from 
abroad.  Rev.  Dr.  John  H.  Gardner,  Jr.,  Pastor  of 
the  First  Presbyterian  Church,  Baltimore,  preached  six- 
teen thoughtful  and  earnest  sermons  that  presented 
various  aspects  of  the  Christian  message,  and  filled  a 
steady  schedule  of  personal  interviews.  Rev.  Dr. 
Sidney  E.  Stringham,  Pastor  of  the  New  McKcndree 
Methodist  Church,  Jackson,  Missouri,  led  the  singing 
for  the  twenty-fifth  time.  The  campus  is  a  more 
spiritual  place  because  of  this  71st  series  of  the  Meet- 
ings that  continue  through  years  of  war  and  peace. 

FACULTY  WEDDING 

One  of  the  interesting  events  on  the  campus  during 
the  current  college  year  was  the  marriage  of  Dr. 
Susan  A.  Green,  long  Professor  of  Biology,  to  Mr. 
Louis  A.  Black,  for  the  past  fifteen  years  Director  of 
Maintenance.  The  wedding  was  performed  on  De- 
cember 30  by  Dr.  Horace  E.  Orr.  Needless  to  say,  Mr. 
and  Mrs.  Black  not  only  had  the  interest  of  students 
and  faculty  but  the  heartiest  good  wishes.  Mrs.  Black 
continues  to  serve  as  Professor  of  Biology  and  Chair- 
man of  the  Division  of  Science  and  Mr.  Black  con- 
tinues his  work  on  the  college  staff.  She  had  been 
living  in  the  Studio  House  and  when  she  was  married 
just  moved  across  the  street  to  Mr.  Black's  house.  The 
Alumni  Magazine  offers  congratulations  and  good 
wishes.

Coach  Lombe  Scott  Honaker  completed  twenty-five 
years  of  service  at  Maryville  College  in  September 
1946.  Recognition  was  given  to  this  fact  at  the  Faculty 
Club   dinner   of   February    3,    1947. 

In  September  1921  Mr.  Honaker  came  from  South- 
western University,  Texas,  where  he  had  been  in 
charge  of  athletics.  He  has  been  a  very  successful 
football,  basketball,  and  baseball  coach  at  Maryville  for 
this  quarter  of  a  century  and  has  thousands  of  friends 
and  admirers  among  Maryville  alumni.  He  is  still  going 
strong  and  with  Mrs.  Honaker  continues  to  live  in 
their  home  on  Court  Street.  Both  of  their  sons  were 
in  military  service  during  the  war.  The  oldest  son. 
Scott,  '41,  is  taking  graduate  work  at  Colorado  State 
and  the  younger  son,  Ross,  is  back  at  Maryville  Col 
lege  and  playing  third  base  on  the  baseball  team  this 
spring.     Roth  are  married. 

The  Alumni  Magazine  offers  congratulations  to  Mr. 
and  Mrs.  Honaker  on  this  twentv-tifth  anniversary.
