Dear Fellow Alumni:
The last issue of the Alumni Magazine carried a report of the fact
that I expected to be in China during the Fall Semester on a deputation
visit for the Presbyterian Board of Foreign Missions. I arrived in
Shanghai on August 31 and am now engaged in a survey of missions,
churches, schools^ universities, hospitals, and other enterprises which the
Presbyterian Chui'ch supports. Our report will carry recommendations
as to policies, personnel, and budget as the program is rebuilt in this
vast country. There are five of us, only two of whom are here as yet.
Our return home will probably be late in December. Dr. Lloyd S.
Ruland, a Secretary of the Foreign Board, and I came to China by air-
plane. I flew from Maryville to New York on August 21, with in-
structions to be ready to fly next day to London, India, and China, but
plans were changed and August 23 I flew from New York to San
Francisco. On August 25, we left On a U. S. Navy plane for Pearl
Harbor, Guam, Okinawa, and Shanghai. Actual flying time over the
Pacific was 43 hours, but in addition we spent a night at Honolulu and a night at Guam. Traveling under high
priorities from the Department of State we had no difficulties. We are to visit the principal centers of China
except those in Communist power and some in the far west, traveling chiefly by air.
At the College
This mission took me away from Maryville almost a week before college opened and as I write this I have
had no word since we left San Francisco two days before students reported. There were still a number of
faculty and staff adjustments to be made and the problem of housing students was a tough one. We turned
away large numbers. I expect to hear that after students had found some rooms in town and town residents of
the community had registered, our total would not be fa r under the pre-war figures, even though we had used
some space in Carnegie for married veterans. Dean McClelland is serving as Administrative Chairman and Dean
Hunter as Faculty Chairman during my absence. Judge S. O. Houston, Chairman of the Directors, Judge A. E.
Mitchell, Chairman of the Committee on Finance, and Judge J. C. Crawford, Recorder and Acting Treasurer,
also are carrying extra duties.
Faculty and Staff
We are glad to welcome back a number of our people who have been away and to introduce an unusually
large group of new members of the faculty and staff. Their names appear elsewhere in this issue. We have
made good progress in rebuilding.
New Majors
Not only are we re-establishing our major in Art, but are inaugurating new majors in School Music, Business
Administration, and Physical Education. Alumni will be interested also in the fact that after four years' omis-
sion, a full schedule of intercollegiate athletics will be conducted.
New Curricolum
The faculty are now shaping up the details of the proposed new curriculum and we hope to have them
ready for specific announcement before the year is over, although other readjustments and my present absence
may slow down its completion somewhat.
Class Reunions at Commencement
I hope that travel and other conditions next May will make possible a renewal of alumni visits and of a
regular schedule of alumni class reunions. The fifty-year class reunion is the only one which has been kept up
through the War. The Alumni Office will be announcing the list of 1947 reunions. Alumni Day will be Tues-
day, May 20.
Cordially yours.

Fellow Alumni:
Anotlier year rolls by and again our annual Homecoming Day ap-
proaches. The date is November 2. The war is over. The boys are
back. The college halls are crowded witli students. Morale is high.
Prospects are excellent. Let us gatlrer in great numbers to join in happy
recollections, and in enthusiastic expectations.
As you know, President Lloyd will not be here to greet us, for he is
far away in China on a special mission for our Presbyterian Board of
Foreign Missions. Dean Hunter and Dean McClelland, who are in charge
in his absence, and the Alumni members on the faculty will make us
cordially welcome. Professor Griffitts and his group of helpers will serve
as official hosts and hostesses. Carl Storey and his committee are in
charge of the barbecue. "Nuff sed." The football game with Middle
Tennessee State College ( Murfreesboro ) will be a fitting close for the day.
Of course we do not wish to confine ourselves to semi-annual bmsts
of entlrusiasm on Homecoming Day and at Commencement. As loyal
Alumni we wiU not forget to send in our annual dues ( $2 ) to our Execu-
tive Secretary, Rev. James R. Smith, '35, and will keep him notified of our
whereabouts. If we can give him any items of news regarding ourselves
or other Maryville folks, it will enable him to fill those columns of Alumni
news in the Alumni Magazine that we all enjoy so much.
The Wilson Fund is still open. Here is a chance to help our Alma
Mater and at the same time to contribute to a memorial to Dr. Samuel T.
Wilson, our loved Professor for many years, and dien one of the greatest
Presidents any college ever had.
The Living Endowment is a system in common use among colleges
now, whereby annual conbibutions can easily provide tlie income that
would be secured from large capital gifts. Maryville has such a system.
Ai^e you participating in it?
We are proud of om- Ahna Mater. Let us be ready and eager to
spread her fame and extend her influence among our friends and as-
sociates wherever our lot has been cast.
Sincerely yours,
H. J. BASSETT, '04

FOUNDERS DAY
The fourteenth
annual Found e r s
Day Service will
be held in Voor-
hees Chapel a t
9:45 a. m. Satur-
day, November 2.
The general theme
will be'Tlie World-
wide Mission of
the Christian Col-
lege." The Rev.
Dr. Charles T .
Leber, of New
York, will be the
speaker. Dr. Leber
has been a Secre-
tary of tlie Presby-
terian Board o f
Foreign Missions
since 1936 and in
that capacity has visited missions in the Middle
East, the Far East, and Africa. He is also a mem-
ber of tlie General Council of the Presbyterian
Church and of the executive committee of the
Foreign Missions Conference of North America.
Judge Houston, Chairman of the Board of Di-
rectors, and Dean Hunter and Dean McClelland will
also take part in the service. All alumni are cordially
invited and urged to attend.
DR. LEBER
FIFTY-YEAR REUNION
There were three members of the Fifty- Year Class
who attended the alumni dinner and the Commence-
ment exercises in May. At graduation the Class of
1896 numbered seven, of whom four are still hving.
The tliree deceased members are James Allen Davis,
James Moses Ewing, and Harvey Boyd McCall. All
four living members planned to be present, but tlie
development of tlie railroad strike prevented Rev.
Frank Jonathan Milman of New Jersey from coming.
The three who were present are Roger Sherman
Boardman, Jonathan Houston Newman, and Samuel
Bovd Parker.
Each of these three spoke briefly at the alumni
dinner and fifty-year certificates were awarded to
them at the Commencement exercises. A similar
certificate was sent to Mr. Milman. Mrs. Nevwnan
and Mrs. Parker were also present.
The following citations and presentation were read
at the Commencement exercises by President Lloyd
of tlie College:
"Roger Sherman Boardman, who resides in Bloom-
field, New Jersey, and has his business in New York
City, graduated at Maryville College while his father
was serving as the fourth President of the institution.
After his graduation here he attended Harvard Uni-
versity two years and received a second degree there.
For the next three years he taught in Texas and Okla-
homa. But in 1902 he entered what proved to be
his life work- the pubhshing business. For ten
years he was with Ginn and Company, Boston, and
beVinne Press, New York. Since 1912 he has been
with Charles Scribners Sons, New York publishers,
in the general field of editorial supervision, except
that following World War I he spent almost two
years with tlie Red Cross in Paris. His writings in-
clude a book containing the biography of his an-
cester, Roger Sherman, and also ten biographical
sketches in the Dictionary of American Biography.
We are sorry that Mrs. Boardman is unable to be
here today.
"Jonathan Houston Newman of Johnson City, Ten-
nessee, and Mrs. Houston are related to Maryville
College in several ways. The one of which we are
thinking today is his graduation in 1896. For eight
years after graduation he taught in North Carolina
and for three or four of those years was principal of
tlie literary Department of the Asheville Farm School.
Since that time he has been engaged in the general
insurance business. For many years he has been
known as a Bible student and teacher and is an
Elder in the First Presbyterian Church in his city.
"Samuel Boyd Parker of Knoxville, and Mrs. Parker,
like Mr. and Mrs. Newman, were Maryville College
students. Mr. Parker taught for ten years, was a
YMCA secretary for eleven years, a newspaper man
in Knoxville three years, and for the past 26 years
has taught matliematics in Knoxville High School.
He is to retire at the end of the current year. I
first saw him and heard him speak and sing at Mary-
ville College when I was a student here and he was
a Tennessee State YMCA student secretary. I can
remember him still for he made a definite impression
on me. Singing has been his principal avocation and
he was a church choir director for 26 vears.
"To you the Class of 1896 who are here, and to
the one who is absent, I extend in behalf of your
Alma Mater hearty greetings, sincere congratulations,
and earnest good wishes in celebration of this an-
niversary. All of you are Christian men who serve
in the Church of Christ and in the causes of Christ.
In recognition of your contiibutions to your dav and
generation, I place in the hands of each of vou a cer-
tificate which is a symbol of affection and honor. Mav
God bless you."
FACULTY AND ALUMNUS TO IRAN
Mr. Commodore Fisher of the Class of 1916, who
served his Alma Mater during tlie college vear of
1945-1946 as Associate Professor of Historv, after
twenty years of service as a missionary-educator in
Iran, finally answered the urgent call to return to
Iran to re-establish certain of tlie educational \\'ork
there. He and Mrs. Fisher and daughter, Pegsrs'
sailed in July to resume their residence and work on
the foreign mission field.
FIVE
SUMMER ON THE CAMPUS
Summer at the College was not the quiet restful
time that some people imagine it was. Synod and
Synodical, young people's conferences, and a music
festival brought many people to the campus and kept
the staff exceedingly busy.
The Svnod, Synodical Society, and Westminster
Fellowship Council of Mid-South met on the campus
June 25-28. Over three hundred persons attended.
Four voung people's conferences were held. The
Knoxville Presbytery (Presbyterian Church, U.S.)
conferences for senior young people and for inter-
mediates were held simultaneously from June 17 to
22, with 266 attending; the East Tennessee senior
conference (Presbyterian Church, U. S. A.), June 10
to 17, with 125 attending; and the intermediate con-
ference (Presbyterian Church, U. S. A.), July 1 to 8,
with 1.38 attending.
From August 12 to 23 Mr. Guy Maier held a music
festival and workshop on the campus. About 240
musicians attended, most of them teachers, from a
wide area including Canada and States as far away as
New Mexico, Texas, Oklahoma, Indiana, and New
York. Mr. Maier is a very fine piano teacher who
holds seminars each summer in various parts of the
counhy. This summer his seminars were at Mac-
Phail College of Music, Minneapolis, Sherwood
Music School, Chicago, Juilliard School of Music,
New York, and Maryville College. Mr. Maier con-
ducted classes in piano pedagogy and he and his
staff gave private lessons to those desiiing them.
Each evening there was a concert in the Chapel.
On May 31, the College gave a luncheon in honor
of Mrs. Juhus Young Talmadge, of Georgia, President
General of the D.A.R., Mrs. C. Edward Mmray, of
New Jersey, 'Vice-President General, and Mrs. 'Van-
Court Carwithen, of Pennsylvania, National Chair-
man of Approved Schools. The local D.A.R. chapter
was invited to be co-hostess with the College.

MRS. SNYDER RESIGNS
MISS MASSEY APPOINTED
Mrs. Grace Pope Snyder, Supervisor of Women's
Residence and Head of Pearsons Hall, resigned on
September 16 to accept a position as counselor in
the guidance program of the schools at Berryville,
Arkansas. Last spring Mrs. Snyder completed ten
years of service at tlie College and expressed tlien
the desire to enter work which would allow her to
spend a greater portion of time in counseUng witliout
the responsibility of residence supervision. She ex-
pected to complete the first semester here but at tlie
request of the Berryville superintendent asked for a
release in September and it was granted by the Col-
lege.
In her years at the College Mrs. Snyder has render-
ed a noteworthy service in residence supervision and
in furthering the cooperation of students and faculty
in administering tlie social hfe of the campus. Her
efi:orts in this direction have paved the way for
furtlier progress in the years ahead.
Mrs. Emma Lee Worley, formerly Head of McLain
Memorial Hall, succeeded Mrs. Snyder as Head of
Pearsons Hall, and is serving as Supervisor of Wom-
en's Residence for the remainder of the fall semester.
Mrs. Esther C. Brunson, of Pine City, New York, was
appointed Head of McLain Memorial Hall. She is
assisted by Mrs. J. E. Edmondson, of Lynnville, Ten-
nessee.
In January Miss E. Frances Massey, of Oxford,
Alabama, a graduate of Maryville College in the
Class of 1934'^ will join the college staff for duties
corresponding to tliose of a dean of women. She
will not serve as head of a dormitory but will main-
tain an administrative office on the campus.
Miss Massey was an honor student throughout her
four years at Maryville. She was active in campus
hfe, particulariv in dramatics. Since her graduation
she has taught biology at the Anniston, Alabama,
High School. Thus she brings to her new duties at
Maryville an intimate knowledge of the College and
its activities supplemented by a successful teaching
experience.
THE ARTISTS SERIES
The Ai-tists Series again will present three concerts
of unusual attraction and high quaUty. The first
concert has been set for Friday night, November 1,
as a part of the Homecoming weekend and tickets
will be available to alumni at a special rate. If
purchased ahead of time through the Alumni Of-
fice the price will be $1.20 (tax included); at the
door tickets will cost $1.80. Address all requests to
the Alumni Office, Maryville College.
Leonard Pennario, briUiant young American pianist,
will give the November 1st concert. Since he was
twelve, Mr. Pennario has been a pupil of Mr. Guy
Maier and he played twice this summer in Voorhees
Chapel at the Guy Maier Music Festival. Those
who heard him then were deeply impressed by his
playing and are looking forward eagerly to his con-
cert in November. He was in the Army and gave
concerts throughout die CBI theater.
The second concert, on January 25, will be "A
Night in Old Vienna"— the finest music of Vienna
sung by five outstanding young artists. Mona Brad-
ford, contralto, and John Gurney, basso, are known
to Maryville audiences through previous concerts.
The other three singers are Laura Castellano, soprano,
Richard Gordon, tenor, and Eduardo Rael, baritone.
Giuseppe Bamboschek is the musical director. Their
program will include some of the greatest writings
of Haydn, Mozart, Schubert, and Brahms, as well as
the hlting aiis, waltzes, and polkas of old Vienna.
On February 24 Grislia Goluboff, young American
viohnist, will close tlie Series. As a child prodigy,
Mr. Goluboff tom-ed the United States and Canada,
Europe, and Australia. Then he retired for six
years for study and rest. Last fall he returned to the
concert stage and won new acclaim as a mature
musician and gifted artist.
Season tickets may be purchased for $3.60 (tax
included) from tlie Alumni Office or from Professor
George D. Howell.

Maryville, He married Mary Katherine Caldwell, '93, in
1903. He taught in the public schools in East Tennessee and
in Maryville College before entering the ministry.
LIFE MEMBERSHIPS IN THE ALUMNI
ASSOCIATION
Several of you have written the Alumni Office for
information on Ufe membersliips. Since others of
you have doubtless had similar questions in your
minds about it, it seems wise to give the information
in the Magazine where all can have it.
We have made a survey of what the associations
in many of the colleges and universities are doiirg.
This article is something of a summary of what this
survey revealed plus the attitude taken by the Execu-
tive Committee in session on September 16th at the
College.
Those institutions that put in a form of life mem-
bership have discontinued it. They report that the
life membership became impractical especially for
the tliiee following reasons: (1) it required account-
ing that was too costly since reserve funds had to be
set up from which to draw from year to year to pre-
vent exhausting the capital income before there was
any source of replacement; (2) it was based upon
the earning power of such a reserve fund invested at
interest— the investment possibilities have been so
greatly curtailed and the income from investment so
small that this practice has had to be eliminated; (3)
it rather unexpectedly resulted in ahenating the life
members from the institution, for when the dues were
paid for hfe the institution was dismissed from the
mind and a gradual and subtle esti-angement set in.
With this material before them the Executive Com-
mittee voted to pass over tlie matter of Ufe member-
ships until a fm-ther study could be made. The feel-
ing was that it was not a wise procedure under exist-
ing circumstance. Especially did they feel this to be
true under our circumstance, for, if the large univer-
sities with the staffs that they have find the labor too
much, then we who are exti-emely hmited in office
and clerical help had better be careful of it.
But we should not leave the picture witliout tak-
ing a look at what these institutions are doing. Many
of them, probably most of them, have discontinued
alumni dues altogether. Instead of alumni dues they
have substituted the alumni living endowment fund;
some of them call it simply tire alumni fund. The
general principle is the same with tlrem all. They
ask tlieir alumni to give each year (and this apphes
to the big state universities as well as the smallei
colleges) to this alumni fund; the minimum so far
as we have been able to establish it is $10.00.
Some associations are run on theii- own income.
Many ha\'e to have supplementary income from their
institutions. The institutions charge such supple-
mentary funds to pubhc relations and promotion. In
the state universities the association is either self
supporting or the support comes from legislative
appropriations. Maryville, like many other similar
colleges, has no state appropriation to call upon.
We have had $2.00 alumni dues as a purely vol-
untary participation. Out of 3000 graduates less than
seven hundred pay dues. As we close the year's books
it looks now as if our membersliip will not do as
well this year as last. The Magazine goes to every
one regardless of whether dues are paid or not. The
cost of that Magazine has steadily risen; it has been
expanded some also.
Our living endowment fund has done very well.
We are looking forward to the day when we can
have enough help to make a complete and accurate
report of all who are participating in that fund. It is
open to the whole Association, and a larger partici-
pation of the membership would be encouraging.
We should like to hear from you. Do you feel
that to do away with all alumni dues and to substi-
tute an alumni fund to which annual payments of no
stipulated amount can be made would increase our
income? If we did this, should we continue the living
endowment fund for gifts to the College, or should
gifts to the College come from the excess alumni
fund? Let us have your thought on this matter.
