THE ALUMNI PRESIDENT'S
MESSAGE

To come back and breathe the atmosphere of the old campus after an
absence of a quarter of a century is an inspiring experience. Amid scenes —
and not a few faces — that continually speak of by gone days and tend to put
one in reminiscent mood, one sees many evidences of progress. A more
beautifully landscaped and better kept campus, artistic entrances, well-paved
roads, better athletic fields, relocated heating plant, an enlarged and tastefully
decorated dining roo.m, a chapel organ — these are only a few of the external
improvements which greet the eye.

Through ear and eye one soon discovers, moreover, a new emphasis on
music and the fine arts, as revealed in the excellent performances of the choir,
orchestra, band, and glee clubs, and equally worthy productions in the fields
of art and drama. Less evident, but even more important, are the high stand-
ards of scholarship which are being constantly upheld by a hard working
faculty and a hard-worked student body. All agree that a degree from
MaryviUe College is well earned.

Years ago a friend said to me, "Many parents send their children back to
their own college thinking that it is the same institution which they themselves
attended. Don't make that mistake." Not knowing Maryville, he was speak-
ing generally, but his statement was worth considering. During these years
when great changes have been taking place in society and in the philosophy of
education, not always for the better, one could not but wonder if the same
moral and spiritual ideals were being held up to this generation as were held
up to us. My observations during the past seven months have completely re-
assured me, and I shall continue to say to my friends, as I have often done,
"Maryville is a good college."

It seems to me, however, that one of her chief needs now is for additional
physical equipment. In the past the Alumni Association has assisted in pro-
viding the Alumni Gymnasium and the enlargement of Pearsons Dining Hall.
Is it not time that we, as an Association, come forward to assist in some of the
building projects which the College has in view?

The day of big fortunes is largely past. What philanthropy is done in
the future will be in moderate sums by people of moderate means, but
generous hearts. Although Maryville alumni are seldom found in the higher
economic brackets, yet I beheve they yield to no one in the field of gratitude
and devotion. May I suggest that your appreciation and loyalty show itself
in the following ways:

1. Attend Homecoming, November 1, and Alumni Day in May.

2. Send us news of yourself and fellow alumni.

3. Remit your $2 dues to the Secretary NOW.

4. Keep the Secretary informed of any change of address.

5. Send us your ideas as to how the Association can be of service.

With a vigorous, paid-up membership of 2500, what couldn't we do!
Let's hear from you.

Yours for the Old College,

J. Edward Kidder, '16*

■Mr. Kidder received the B.A. degree from Maryville College in 1916, the degree of
S.T.B. from Western Theological Seminary in 1919, and that of M.A. from the Uni-
versity of Pittsburgh in 1926 when on one of his furloughs from China, where he
has been a missionary since 1920. During the present year he is on furlough again
and he and his family are living in Maryville where two sons are enrolled In college,
one a senior and the other a junior.

THE CLOSING AND OPENING OF YEARS

There are three kinds of years at Maryville College:
(1) the "eollege" year from enrolment in the fall to
Commeneemcnt in the spring; (2) the "fiseal" year,
from July 1 to June ?0; (3) and, of eourse, the
"calendar" year from January 1 to December 31.

The "college" year of 1940-1941 closed with the
Commencement Exercises on June 4. The College
awarded the Bachelor's degree to 133 seniors. The
honorary degree of Doctor of Divinity was conferred
upon the Reverend Frank Moore Cross, of the Class of
1916, Pastor of the Ensley Highland Presbyterian
Church, Birmingham, Alabama; and the honorary de-
gree of Doctor of Laws upon Charles Ross Endsley,
Superintendent of the Tennessee Military Institute,
Sweetwater, Tennessee. Fifty-year certificates were
awarded to the six surviving members of the Class of
1891. The address to the graduating class was given
by Rev. Dr. Gould Wickey, of Washington, D. C,
General Secretary of the National Conference of
Church-Related Colleges.

The "fiscal" year of 1940-1941 closed on June 30
with an operating deficit of $4,186, due to rising costs,
but with all current bills paid and, fortunately, with
sufficient accumulated surplus to absorb the deficit.
However, it means starting the new fiscal year at a
disadvantage.

The "college" year of 1941-1942 opened on Septem-
ber 2. According to the new college schedule an-
nounced last spring and in effect for the first time this
year, the first semester will close December 18, the
second semester will open January 7 and close with Com-
mencement at the early date of May 18.

The dormitories and dining hall are full, but there
are fewer students from the local community and some
fewer boys also from other places, making the total en-
rolment of the College sixty-one under that of a year
ago. The reasons are familiar to all — the draft, at-
tractive jobs for both men and women, a trend toward
the technical training emphasized by the national de-
fense program, uncertainty as to the demands which
war is to make upon young men.

The college chapel appears to be as full as ever, but
actually it is not so. This will probably help the ac-
ademic efficiency by reducing the "capacity crowd."
But it will create a definite budget hardship since it
represents a decrease of some $7,000 in tuition income
without any possibility of reducing instructional or
operating expenses. In fact operating costs are mount-
ing each week.

The spirit evident on the campus is earnest and
courageous. The College looks forward to a good year
of work, to a difficult year in balancing the budget, but
to a successful year in growth of the New Forward
Fund.

THE CHANGING COMMUNITY

When Maryville v.'as a quiet little village of fifty
houses and two hundred and fifty people, Isaac Ander-
son, Founder and first President of Maryville College,
wished to move his institution to the country away
from what he called "the noise and confusion of the
town." After his death that dream was realized in

the removal to the present campus, but he would be
startled at the changes which have come over the
years.

The writer of these lines remembers that in his stu-
dent days, three-quarters of a century after Dr. An-
derson expressed his concern, Mary\'ille was a county
seat town of about 3,000 people, without water works
or paved streets, and accessible only by a limited
number of trains running daily from Knoxville. Then
came the Aluminum Company plants two miles from
the campus; then the modern automobile cavalcade
with its roads; then the Smoky Mountains National
Park, entered twenty miles away by a main highway
that runs by the campus, with its visitors; then the
extensive house building plans of the nineteen hundred
and thirties; finally the industrial expansion for the
National Emergency and National Defense. This year
over one million visitors have entered the Smoky Moun-
tains National Park, breaking all American National
Park records. The airport traffic has increased within
the past three or four years, from two transport planes
a day in two directions to thirty-six transport planes
a day in seven directions. This year the Aluminum
Company plants are being so increased that the number
of workers has grown already from about 6,000 to
10,000 and is still growing. This year it is estimated
that the population in the twin cities of Maryville and
Alcoa and their general environs has probabh' reached
20,000.

The immediate effects of all this on the College are
not great. But the College will have to reckon with
the ultimate effects, both bad and good. The vast de-
velopment of water and electrical power throughout the
Tennessee Valley will doubtless bring marked social
changes to the whole region within the coming years.

MARYVILLE APPROVED BY A. A. U. W.

On May 5 and subsequent dates President Lloyd was
notified that the American Association of University
Women, at its biennial meeting in Cincinnati, had ap-
proved Mar^'ville College for corporate membership in
the Association and a place on "List I." This action
was taken upon recommendation of the Committee on
Membership and Maintaining Standards after the filing
of an application and an extensive report by the College,
and after an examination of the College by a representa-
tive of the Committee. Maryville has been on the
Association's "List III" for a number of years but had
not until 1941 made application for the full approval
which has now been granted.

FOUR

The A. A. U. W. has two kinds of individual mem-
bership, National and Associate. They are described by
the Association as follows:

"I. National Membership. 1. Women with approved
degrees from colleges and universities which have
been approved by the Association are eligible to national
membership, either through a branch or as general
members, maintaining relations individually with the
national Association. It should be noted that not all
degrees conferred by approved institutions are recog-
nized.

"2. Women holding higher degrees from American
universities which do not grant the baccalaureate degree
to women, but which have been recommended by the
Committee on Membership and Maintaining Standards
and approved by a three-fourths vote of the delegates
present at a convention, are eligible to national mem-
bership.

"II. Associate Membership. 1 . Women with approved
degrees from institutions which have partially fulfilled
the requirements of the Association and have been
placed on the associate list by the Committee on Mem-
bership and Maintaining Standards (List III in list of
colleges and universities approved by the American As-
sociation of University Women) are eligible to associate
membership in branches having that type of member-
ship.

"2. Women, not registered in any institution as un-
dergraduates, who have completed two full years of
academic work in any college or university on the
approved list of the national Association (List I) shall
be eligible to associate membership.

"No women who is eligible to national membership
may hold associate membership."

Prior to May 1941, Maryville College graduates were
eligible for associate membership only, since the College
was on List III. Now women graduates of Maryville
College are eligible for full active national membership
and women not now in college who have completed
two years at Maryville College are now eligible for
associate membership. Both of Maryville's degrees
(B.A. and B.S. in H.E) are approved. These provisions
are retroactive, applying to women graduates of all past
years.

The American Association of University Women in-
cludes among its purposes "the maintenance of high
standards of education and the furtherance of the in-
terests of women in education." The Association does
not give approval to an institution unless satisfied that
that institution meets certain specified requirements
which grow out of the Association's objectives. The
Association states, "These objectives involve not merely
insistence on academic requirements and on the requisite
program for advanced scholarship, such as adequately
trained faculties and indispensable material equipment,
but also emphasis on the proper provisions for the
housing, health, and other social needs of women stu-
dents, and on a due recognition of women in the
student bodies, the faculties, the administration and
the governing boards of colleges and universities ad-
mitting women." One basic requirement for approval
is that the institution be on the approved list of the
Association of American Universities.

The American Association of University Women is
one of the strong organizations in the field of higher
education in the nation. It has a varied program and
has branches in all leading centers throughout the
country. The headquarters offices are in Washington,
D. C. Women who hold degrees from Maryville Col-
lege are now eligible for membership in these various
branches and are eligible for general membership if
there arc no branches in the communities where they
live. It is suggested that Maryville alumnae make in-
quiry of officers of branches in their communities. The
Alumni Office at the College will be glad to secure in-
formation for any who desire it. For many years some
Maryville College alumnae have been associate mem-
bers of A. A. U. W. ; some who have learned of the
present opportunity have already become national mem-
bers; doubtless many others will now wish to apply for
such membership.

FIFTY-YEAR CERTIFICATES

For the first time at the Commencement of 1941 the
College presented Fifty- Year Certificates to members of
the class celebrating the fiftieth anniversary of gradua-
tion. That class this year was, of course, the class of
1891, in which there were fourteen graduates. Only
six were still living in June 1941. Of these, two were
present at the Commencement exercises: Miss Mary E.
("Miss Molly") Caldwell, of Maryville, who retired in
1936 from the staff of the College after service of
thirty-six years; and the Rev. Samuel A. Caldwell, of
Cincinnati, recently retired after a ministry of a half
century in the Middle West and West. The four mem-
bers of the class who could not be present were: Mrs.
Flora Henry Hamilton, Tacoma, Washington; Rev.
Robert B. Irwin, Decatur, Illinois; Rev. Charles C.
McGinley, Independence, Missouri; and Rev. J. Newton
McGinley, Neoga, Illinois.

The two present were called forward and presented
with certificates, which in fact wei'e not real certificates
since these had not yet been printed. The certificate
which has been drawn up and is to be sent to them
contains the following wording, arranged in appropriate
form:

THE DIRECTORS. PRESIDENT, AND FACULTY OF
MARYVILLE COLLEGE To the Friends of Learning every-
where. Greeting: Be it known that MARY ELLEN CALD-
WELL having been granted the Bachelor's Degree by Mary-
ville College in the year Eighteen Hundred and Ninety-One
is this day awarded this certificate in recognition and honor of
THE FIFTIETH ANNIVERSARY OF GRADUATION. In
Witness Whereof, this certificate is granted and the Seal of
the College and the signatures of the President of the Col-
lege and the Secretary of the Faculty are hereunto affixed.
Given at Maryville in the State of Tennessee this fourth day
of June in the year of our Lord the nineteen hundred and
forty-first and of the College the one hundred and twenty-
second.

As soon as sufficient certificates are ready and proper-
ly inscribed one will be sent also to each living graduate
of more than fifty years. It is planned to make a public
presentation of the certificate each year to members of
the fifty-year class of that year.

FIVE

DR. DAVIS— TWENTY-FIVE YEARS

Dr. E. W. Davis, Professor of Greek and Latin and Secretary or
the Faculty, completed twenty-five years on the faculty at the last Com-
mencement. His colleagues of the faculty gave special recognition to
this anniversary at the meeting of the Faculty Cluh on October 6.
President Lloyd read an appropriate statement and presented twenty-five
roses to Dr. and Mrs. Davis.

Dr. Davis has been at Maryville College since the fall of 1915 with
the exception of the one year of 1919-1920. For the past ten years he
has been Secretary of the Faculty as well as a professor. He has been a
teacher thirty-eight years, most of these in the field of Greek and Latin,
and twenty-five of them at Maryville College.

Dr. Davis was reared in Illinois, has taken degrees at Missouri
Valley College and Harvard University, and received the honorary
degree of Doctor of Letters from Maryville College in 1937.

There are now nine members of the faculty and staff who have
served twenty-five or more years at Maryville College.

IMPROVEMENTS ABOUT THE CAMPUS

Elsewhere in this issue there is a report concerning
the paving of roads, the additions to the dairy, and
the Anna Belle Smith Studio House. In the following
sentences mention is made of other recent improvements
and additions. There is no effort to catalog all things
which might fall under this head, but some of them are:

(1) Valuable additions and improvements to the radio
broadcasting equipment and arrangements.

(2) Extensive remodeling in the Anderson Hall An-
nex to provide a Treasurer's office of larger size; relocat-
ing the "printing" offices; converting the former
Treasurer's office into offices for the Dean of Curriculum
and the Public Relations and Alumni Secretary; and
some other office changes. (This work is not yet com-
pleted.)

(3) Classroom remodeling, continuing a program in
progress for a number of years.

(4) Repainting of approximately
rooms, the hospital, etc.

(5) Purchase of "The Chatterbox"
to the campus (between Baldwin and
to serve as quarters for a combined
store.

(6) Addition of a two-manual Estey Practice Organ
($450) to the music equipment. For practice purposes
this will supplement the Wicks Organ in the Chapel,
and will make it possible to take a larger number of
organ students than heretofore.

(7) A new multigraph made necessary by the final
collapse of the one which had been in use for the past
quarter of a century.

(8) New draperies, furniture, and decorating in the
parlors of Baldwin Hall.

(9) Removal of the shop machinery from the base-
ment of Thaw Hall to the shop building beside the
new Heating Plant, releasing valuable space for library
or other academic use.

(10) Leasing to the City the College's 50,000-gallon
water tank located behind the President's House, once
part of the College's private water system but unused
for about twenty years. Its color has been changed
from black to silver, a new pipe line has been laid to
it, and when the City has completed its work there
should be improved water pressure both on the campus
and in the high ground areas of the City near the
campus.

THE ROADS ARE PAVED!

For 108 years the College had no paved roads, so
far as the record shows. For a half century prior to
1870 the campus was at the corner of Main and College
Streets where the New Providence Presbyterian Church
now stands and there was no paving in the town. From
1870 to 1927 there was no paved road (although there
were board, brick, and concrete walks on the new
campus); in 1927 an excellent piece of concrete pave-
ment (part of which unfortunately must now be
closed in the new campus road plan) was laid from the
Court Street entrance to the Book Store; in 1934 Dr.
W. P. Stevenson and Mrs. John Walker laid an asphalt
pavement from Bartlett Hall to The-House-in-the-Woods
(Dr. Stevenson's home) and Morningside (Mrs. Walk-
er's home) in the Woods; in 1935 a new road plan for
the central campus was worked out; in the summer of
1940 about half of the unpaved portions were paved;
and now in 1941 the remaining portions, including the
Corduroy, have been paved. Certain sections of the
former roads are being closed. The cost of the paving
done during these past two summers has been between
$8,000 and"$9,000. Part of the receipts from the New
Forward Fund have been allocated to this purpose.

These roads with the three Gateways, the Steps be-
low Carnegie, the rock walls and smaller steps at other
points, new fences, and paved walks added from time
to time, have done much to transform the campus dur-
ing the past few years.

Yet it was soon discovered that blessings are not
without accompanying problems. The good campus
roads and the rough city streets nearby caused many
motorists to travel through the campus. But the erect-
ing of "stop" signs at several places and the polite
stopping of cars at each entrance and explaining of the
campus traffic problem and regulations for a few days
have done much to reduce the traffic, and all college
folk are happy in prospect of the campus' first winter
on pavement.

SIX

NEW BOOK BY DR. SHINE

Dr. Hill Shine, Associate Professor of English at
Maryville College, and a recognized authority on the
life and work of Thomas Carlyle, has just had a new
book published by The Johns Hopkins Press of Balti-
more. The volume bears also the names "London:
Humphrey Milford" and "Oxford University Press."

The title of the book is "Carlyle and the Saint'
Simonians" and the subtitle "The Concept of Historical
Periodicity." There are 191 well-written and well-
documented pages. The book is the result of Dr.
Shine's long and thorough study of the writings by
and about Carlyle and his mature research. The Saint-
Simonians were a group of social and religious thinkers
in France about ISl*? and the years immediately fol-
lowing. Their writings came to Carlyle's notice in 1830.
Dr. Shine has an earlier book on Carlyle entitled
"Carlyle's Fusion of Poetry, History, and Religion,"
published in 1938 by the University of North Carolina
Press. The use of microiilm secured from Paris for
the Maryville College Library and microfilm in other
libraries has been an interesting and important factor
in Dr. Shine's study.

The following sentences from Dr. Shine's Foreword
will give some introduction to the book: "In summariz-
ing those studies, one feels that the whole problem of
Carlyle's relation with the Saint-Simonians needs re-
examination. No detailed or definitive study of all the
aspects of the problem or even of all the primary
material exists. . . Our present study, though adequate
in primary material is, alas, incomplete in the other
respect. That is, leaving the social aspect of the re-
lation for later treatment, the present study deals with
Carlyle's indebtedness to the Saint-Simonians for his
mature concept of historical periodicity. As it proceeds,
it will, nevertheless, show how his mature social view-
point is undergirded and made intelligible by the theory
of historical periodicity. By thus tracing Carlyle's
most fundamental relation with the Saint-Simonian
Society, this study (it is hoped) will throw some new
light on the entry of a too-little-known element in
Nineteenth Century English thought."

MRS. BARKER'S BOOK

"Yesterday Today" is the title of a delightful book of
263 pages just pubHshed by The Caxton Printers, Ltd.
It has special interest for Maryville College folk because
its author is Catherine Sweazey Barker, wife of Lincoln
Barker who came this year to the Maryville College
faculty as Associate Professor of Psychology and Edu-
cation. "Yesterday Today" is a book about the Ozark
mountain country and the people who live there. It
is based on information gathered by Mrs. Barker over
a period of years when Mr. Barker was in college work
and she was active in social service work in the Ozark
region. The book was written later while Mr. and Mrs.
Barker were living in Salt Lake City, where Mr. Barker
was Dean of Westminster College and she was active
as a writer and speaker in the life of church and other
organizations. Other writings of hers have been pub-
lished by magazines.

NE"W BOOK BY JOHN W. RITCHIE, '98

"Biology and Human Aifairs" is the title of a book
of 1026 pages written by John W. Ritchie, of the Class
of 1898, and published in 1941 by the World Book
Company. The book is planned as a textbook especial-
ly for secondary school students. It is divided into
twenty-two units covering the whole field of biology.
There is a wealth of illustrative material, pictures being
on a large proportion of the more than one thousand
pages. A copy of the book has been presented to the
Maryville College Library by Dr. Ritchie.

Dr. Ritchie has long been eminent as an author in
this field. For many years he has also been one of the
editors of the World Book Company. In recognition
of his work as a teacher, author, and editor, Maryville
in 1936 conferred upon him the honorary degree of
Doctor of Humane Letters. Dr. Ritchie graduated from
Maryville College in 1898 and was the first full-time
teacher of biology in the College, serving on the college
faculty from 1899 to 1901. His name has been one
known to all Maryville students since his years at the
College because he is the author of the words of the
Alma Mater, written in 1899, and also of the newest
college song, "Firm, Firm, She Stands," written after
his visit to the College in 1936.

BOOK BY CLAIRE McMURRAY HOWARD, '21

Mrs. E. D. Howard (Claire McMurray, '21), daugh-
ter of the late Professor James H. McMurray and Mrs.
McMurray, Manager of the College Maid Shop, at
Maryville College, has attained considerable renown
by her writing. For some years she has written a
daily column in the Cleveland Plain Dealer (Ohio),
based partly on human interest stories that gather
around her own children and home. Sometime ago a
compilation of the material was published in a book
with the quaint title " — and Beat Him WTien He
Sneezes," which soon became a current best seller.
More recently the radio rights to the book have been
purchased by the Vick Company, who are now sponsor-
ing a regular broadcast of sketches from it. The
broadcast at present may be heard each Sunday over
one of the NBC chains at 4:30 p.m. (Central Time).
A five-thousand-dollar prize contest conducted by the
Vick Company to find a title for the program has just
been closed and the judges' decision has not yet been
announced.

ALUMNI AT PRESBYTERIAN GENERAL
ASSEMBLY

The Maryville College Breakfast at the Presbyterian
General Assembly, St. Louis, on May 24, 1941, was
the most largely attended in the history of this event,
there being more than eighty persons present, most of
them alumni. Five of them were from the College
itself: President and Mrs. Lloyd, Treasurer Proffitt,
Dean Hunter, and Director of Maintenance Black. Mr.'
Black was a Commissioner to the Assembly. Plans were
laid for the organization of a Maryville College club
for the St. Louis — Missouri — Southern Illinois region.

SEVEN

BENEFIT LUNCHEON AND APRON SALE

On Saturday, November 29, there will he held a
benefit luncheon and apron sale in Pearsons Dining
Hall. It IS the first occasion of this kind held at
MaryviUe. Its sponsors are Mrs. Ralph Waldo Lloyd,
wife of the President of the College, and a committee
of alumnae and other women in the Maryville com-
munity. Its purpose is to raise money for a "Women's
Dormitory Improvement Fund" from (1) any diiferencc
which may remain between the price charged and the
expenses for the luncheon, and (2) the proceeds from
the sale of aprons to those present and any others
interested. The aprons will be donated by women who
are friends, former students, and graduates. The price
of the luncheon will be seventy-five cents.

It is expected that this will be a notable social occa-
sion as well as a means of considerable financial bene-
fit to the College. If the interest and response are
large enough the event may become an annual one.

Every woman who sees or hears of this announce-
ment is invited to make reservation and attend the
luncheon and to bring or send one or more aprons.
Any one who cannot attend and wishes to send a gift
in money in lieu of the luncheon price and aprons may
do so. Also those who cannot attend may purchase
aprons. Reservations, aprons, and gifts should be
sent to "Benefit Luncheon Committee, Alumni Office,
Maryville College, Maryville, Tennessee."

FOUNDERS' DAY— 1941

The College catalog states that November 1 is
"Founders' and Homecoming Day." Page two of this
Alumni Magazine says "Homecoming Day" only. The
reason is that the "Founders' Day" exercises to be held
this fall will be in an unusual form.

On Sunday, November 2, at 2:00 p.m., in the country
about twenty-five miles north of Maryville, a service of
dedication will be held at the place where Isaac Ander-
son established in 1802 and conducted until 1812 Union
Academy, which may be considered the predecessor of
Maryville College which he founded in 1819. The
place is on Murphy Road about seven miles north of
downtown Knoxville and may be reached by going out
of Knoxville by Broadway on the old Ta:ewell Pike
past the Shannondale Presbyterian Church a mile or
two and turning right on Murphy Road. Or it may
be reached by going out of Knoxville on Washington
Pike and turning left on Murphy Road, which is a
short road connecting old Ta:;ewell and Washington
Pikes.

Isaac Anderson came from Virginia to that location
in 1801, acquired this land as his farm and lived there
until he removed to Maryville in 1812. He willed his
farm of at least 215 acres to his granddaughter Rebec-
ca Anderson who sold it in 1859 to Samuel K. Harris,
whose daughters are members of the Simon Harris
Chapter of the D. A. R. which is cooperating in this
dedication. In recent years the land has been divided
and sold to different persons. The present owner of
the land on which the marker is being placed is Mr.
I. Wayne Longmire of Knoxville. The present owner
and occupant of the land on which the Union Academy
stood is Mrs. M. C. Holmes. Isaac Anderson was pastor

of the Washington Presbyterian Church a few miles
beyond his farm from 1802 to 1812; in 1802 he built a
large log school building on his farm and conducted
Union Academy there until 1812; in Maryville he con-
tinued his academy work until 1819 when he founded
the institution which became Maryville College. He
conducted a school steadily from 1802 until near his
death in 1857. Thus Maryville College may he said to
have started actually in Union Academy whose lo-
cation is to be marked on November 2.

The principal speaker at the dedication services,
November 2, will be Mrs. William H. Pouch of New
York City, President General of the National Society
of the Daughters of the American Revolution. Other
participants in the program will be officers of the
Simon Harris Chapter of the D. A. R. (Knoxville),
President Lloyd of the College, Judge S. O. Houston,
Chairman of the Directors of the College, and a num-
ber of college students.

A six-ton marble boulder from a nearby marble
quarry is being placed near the road on the ground
where the Isaac Anderson home is said to have stood.
The location of the school building was about seven
hundred feet west of this spot and from the present
road. A tablet will be attached to the stone bearing
the following inscription:

ONE-EIGHTH OF A MILE WEST OF THIS SPOT

THERE STOOD THE BUILDING OF UNION ACADEMY,

GENERALLY CALLED "MR. ANDERSON'S LOG COLLEGE,"

WHICH WAS CONDUCTED FROM 1802 TO 1812

BY REV. ISAAC ANDERSON, FOUNDER
AND FIRST PRESIDENT OF MARYVILLE COLLEGE

OF WHICH UNION ACADEMY WAS THE PREDECESSOR

THIS TABLET IS ERECTED UNDER AUSPICES OF

THE SIMON HARRIS CHAPTER

OF THE

DAUGHTERS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION

COLLEGE RADIO PROGRAMS

Since last February Maryville College has been broad-
casting regular programs from its remote control studios
in Voorhees Chapel.

At present there is one broadcast a week. It is called
"Maryville College Radio Vespers," and is on the air
each Sunday afternoon from 4:00 to 4:30 o'clock over
station WROL of Knoxville (620 on the dial). There
is a possibility that the hour or the station or both
might be changed, but it is certain that the broadcast
will continue to be on the air in the latter part of each
Sunday afternoon. All alumni who can hear the Knox-
ville stations are invited to listen in and to watch for
any changes. This broadcast includes a service by
President Lloyd and the college choir under the di-
rection of Associate Professor Colbert.

A week-night broadcast may be resumed later. If so,
It is hoped that all interested persons may discover it.
Two of the three football games thus far played at
home have been broadcast by WROL. The Home-
coming game with Carson -Newman on Saturday night,
November 1, will probably be carried by WROL.

EIGHT

CLASSES DUE FOR REUNION IN 1942

Classes of '89, '90, 91, '92 (50-year class).
Classes of '08, '09, '10, '11.
Class of '17 (25'year class).
Classes of '27, '28, '29, '30.

ALUMNI DUES

The Alumni are to be congratulated on reaching
again this past year the all time high record of a year
ago in the payment of dues. Yet when we find that
still less than one sixth of the membership is paying
dues, we realise the possibilities of a real record year
ahead.

Last year the expense of the Association was slightly
less than its receipts, but with increased costs every
where there must be greater interest in payment of dues
and care in expenditures.

SUMMER CHURCH MEETINGS ON THE CAMPUS

During the summer vacation this year three church
conferences of four to seven days each met on the
campus, using the dormitories, dining hall, and other

staff are on duty during such periods. The meetings
this year were:

Maryville. Those present numbered 202.

June 17-20: Annual meetings and joint conference of
the Synods and Synodical Societies of Tennessee, Ala-
bama, and Mississippi of the Presbyterian Church in
the U. S. A. This was the third consecutive year that
Tennessee Synod and Synodical have held such meet-
ings at Maryville but is the first year that Alabama and

"ISNALA"

"THE STUDIO HOUSE"

For many years one of the most interesting and at-
tractive places in MaryviUe has been the house at the
northeast edge of the college campus, built and used as
a home and art studio by the late Anna Belle Smith.
Through a Declaration of Trust made in 1931 this
studio house, with furnishings and contents, was trans-
ferred by Miss Smith as a gift to Maryville College.
It was agreed that Miss Belle Smith or her sisters Mrs.
John M. Alexander and Miss Elizabeth Smith and her
brother-in-law the Rev. Dr. John M. Alexander, would
retain possession and use of the house during their life-
times. Mj-s. Alexander, for thirty-three years a teacher
at Mar^rville College, died in 1938. Miss Belle Smith
died May 8, 1939.

Dr. Alexander, Miss Elizabeth Smith, and Miss Nan
Cheney, a close friend of Miss Elizabeth Smith and her
late sisters, reside in the Alexander home adjacant to
the studio. Through their courtesy and generous in-
terest in the College the "Anna Belle Smith Studio
House" has been placed at the service of the College
this year. It becomes something of a Fine Arts center.
A studio reception was held there recently by the
faculty of the Division of Fine Arts. The classes in
Art meet there daily, thus releasing rooms in Anderson
Hall formerly occupied as studios.

The house contains several rooms of which the large
studio, with its iireplace, tall brick inside chimney
(shown in the accompanying picture), north skylight,
and furnishings, is especially impressive. The stairs and
balcony within the large studio are unique. There is a
"living room" with piano, dishes, and other attractive
and useful contents, a kitchen, bedroom, bathroom,
storeroom, and basement. The porches and surround-
ings likewise are attractive.

The plan and contents of the house reflect the
artistic taste and personality of Miss Belle Smith. There
are many articles brought from various countries and
a number of lovely pictures painted by Miss Smith.
Most of these have been put away for safe keeping.
The house, as has been intimated, is furnished through-
out.

Anna Belle Smith was born in Con-
necticut and received her academic and
art education in New England, New
York, Boston, Paris, Egypt, Palestine,
and elsewhere. From 1914 to 1921 she
was on the faculty of Maryville College
as teacher of Art and Head of the Art
Department as it was then organized.
About 1919 her interest in books and
people led her to give her effort to
the building of a city library in Mary-
ville. In 1921 she closed her teaching
work and gave full time as librarian in
the city library until her death in 1939.
In the city and in the College she has
left a valuable heritage.

She named her studio house "Isnala,"
an Indian name meaning "Alone." A
tablet containing this name and a state-
ment that the house and its contents
were the gift of Anna Belle Smith is to
be placed on the house.

THE FEBRUARY MEETINGS OF 1942

The sixty-sixth series of February Meetings will be
held February 4-12, 1942, The preacher this year will
be Rev. Clifford E. Barbour, Ph.D., D.D., Pastor of
the Second Presbyterian Church, of Knoxville, Ten-
nessee.

For the twentieth time the singing will be in charge
of Rev. Sidney E. Stringham, who is at present pastor
of the Shaw Avenue Methodist Church, St. Louis,
Missouri. All Maryville alumni who have graduated
during the past twenty years have felt some acquain-
tance with Mr. Stringham. And three-fourths of all our
living alumni have graduated within those twenty
years, because in that period the classes have been much
larger than in earlier years.

This will be the second series led by Dr. Barbour.
He was the preacher of the series in 1938, the year
before the present seniors entered college. He is a
native of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and holds degrees
from the University of Pittsburgh, Western Theological
Seminary, the University of Edinburgh, Scotland, and
Maryville College. Before coming to Knoxville in 1928,
his ministry was in Pittsburgh, as pastor of Heron Ave-
nue Presbyterian Church and as assistant to Dr. Hugh
T. Kerr in the Shadyside Presbyterian Church with
special responsibility for students in the University of
Pittsburgh and Carnegie Tech. The Second Presby-
terian Church, Knoxville, of which he is now pastor,
was organized and supplied for ten years by Dr. Isaac
Anderson, Founder and first President of Maryville
College.

Since 1924, the leaders of the February Meetings have
been as follows: 1924— Dr. Edgar A. Elmore; 1925—
Dr. William Thaw Bartlett; 1926— Dr. Joseph M.
Broady; 1927— Dr. Frank Marston; 1928— Dr. Ralph
Waldo Lloyd; 1929— Dr. John M. Vander Meulen;
1930— Dr. Roy Ewing Vale; 1931— Dr. Ralph Waldo
Lloyd; 1932— Dr. William Hiram Foulkes; 1933— Dr.
Ralph Marshall Davis; 1934 — Dr. Roy Ewing Vale;
1935— Dr. William Taliaferro Thompson; 1936— Dr.
Louis H. Evans; 1937 — Dr. Howard Moody Morgan;
19J8— Dr. Clifford E. Barbour; 1939— Dr. Harrison Ray
Anderson; 1940— Dr. Louis H. Evans; 1941— Dr.
Howard Moody Morgan.

THE COLLEGE DAIRY

Through the generosity of an interested friend it
has been possible to make some very important improve-
ments at the College Dairy which supplies milk to the
College Dining Hall.

Last year a modern refrigeration and cooling unit was
built. At present there is nearing completion a modern
type milking barn designed by dairy authorities. These
two buildings are constructed of cinderblock, concrete,
and metal, and are fireproof. They stand adjacent to
the large frame feeding barn whose size was doubled
a few years ago, making it approximately one hundred
feet long; it is being increased again now to about one
hundred and forty feet, thus adding forty per cent to
its capacity.

Last spring the old Lamar house was taken down and
the material used to build a large much needed imple-
ment shed near the barn. A large silo has been built

in recent years. Six Jersey cows were added to the
herd this fall.

A few smaller things and a good looking white fence
are in the plans which when completed should make the
Maryville College Dairy a modern sanitary plant of
attractive appearance. It should be so because it is on
a major highway into the Smoky Mountains National
Park.

LOAN FUND IN MEMORY OF MRS. ALEXANDER

Sometime ago a group of alumni asked the College
for the privilege of starting a loan fund in memory of
the late Mrs. Jane Bancroft Smith Alexander, under
whom they studied at Maryville.

Subscriptions to the Loan Fund are being received
from other former students of Mrs. Alexander by a
committee composed of: Wiley Rutledge, ex-'14, U.
S. Court of Appeals, Washington, D. C. (Honorary
Chairman); Frances M. Brown, ex-''17, 258 Lafayette
Avenue, Passaic, N. J. (Chairman) ; George H. Osborn,
'32, Southern Boulevard, Chatham, N. J.; and Alice
Wright Carson, '17, Vonore, Tenn. An attractive bulle-
tin has been issued by the committee under the title,
"A Student Loan Fund — A Living Memorial — Mrs.
Jane B. S. Alexander." Good progress has been made,
several hundred dollars having been subscribed.

Mrs. Alexander was a teacher in Maryville College
for thirty-three years, most of them in the field of
English Literature; she retired in 1934 because of age
and limited health; her death occurred March 2, 1938.
Her husband. Rev. Dr. John M. Alexander, and her
sister. Miss Elizabeth Smith, continue to reside in
Maryville near the college campus.

THE GEORGE A. KNAPP MATHEMATICS
SCHOLARSHIP FUND

In July, 1941, there was established at Maryville
College "The George A. Knapp Mathematics Scholar-
ship Fund" of $1,000 in memory of Dr. George A.
Knapp, who was Professor of Mathematics and Physics
here from 1914 until his retirement in 1938. The
Alumni Magazine of April, 1941, reported Dr. Knapp's
death at the age of eighty on November 4, 1940, and
told of his half century of service as a college teacher,
twenty-four of them at Maryville.

This Scholarship Fund has been established by Dr.
Knapp's son, Tracy F. Knapp, '20, and his two daugh-
ters, Mary Gertrude Knapp Barrett, and Josephine
Knapp Kiefer, '18.

The purpose and plan of the Fund are set forth in
part in the following extract from the Declaration of
Trust: "The income from this memorial fund shall be
awarded each year at or about the commencement
season as a prize to the most outstanding and most
promising student majoring in mathematics, enrolled in
either the junior or senior class of Maryville College. . .
If in any year, in the judgment of the Committee,
there is no student who qualifies under the terms and
spirit of this award, the income for that year shall be
added to the principal fund."
