About  this  issue:  This  Major  Notes  is  an 
attempt  to  show  how  Millsaps  faculty  mem- 
bers have  increased  their  effectiveness 
through  travel  abroad  and  how  they,  and 
the  students,  serve  as  ambassadors  for 
Millsaps.  It  by  no  means  attempts  to  be 
a  complete  coverage.  Many  other  students 
and  faculty  members  have  traveled  abroad 
also,  it  is  recognized.  Students  live  abroad 
through  .Junior  Year  Abroad  Programs. 
But  the  people  included  have  something  to 
say  —  as  would  the  others  —  and  we  think 
you   will   be  interested.

Presidential   Views 

by  Dr.  Benjamin  B.  Graves 

A  question  frequently  asked  by  parents,  students,  donors,, 
legislators,  and  others  interested  in  higher  education  is  "WhatI 
does  a  quality  education  cost?"  This  question  frankly  perplexes  I 
even  those  of  us  in  college  administration.  Nevertheless,  it  is  ai 
valid  inquiry  and  one  around  which  exists  a  great  deal  of  confusion, 
if  not  misinformation. 

A  quality  education  in  a  residential  college  or  university  today 
is  apt  to  cost  somebody  at  least  $3,000  per  student  per  year  for 
basic  costs,  normally  defined  as  tuition,  room,  and  board.  To  many^ 
of  us,  especially  those  who  live  in  Mississippi,  where  educational  J 
costs,  and  perhaps  quality,  have  been  generally  on  the  low  side, 
this  figure  perhaps  sounds  astronomical.  Nevertheless,  1  shall  stand 
on  it. 

Let  me  try  to  put  the  matter  into  a  Millsaps  perspective.  For 
the  coming  year  we  have  established  a  basic  tuition  of  $1,200,  with 
room  and  board  an  additional  $700,  making  the  basic  cost  to  the^ 
student  approximately  $1,900.  The  College,  however,  will  supple- 'I 
ment  these  funds  with  another  $1,100  from  other  sources.  More- 
over, many  of  our  students,  through  various  aid  programs,  will 
pay  to  the  institution  far  less  than  the  $1,900  basic  cost.  We  must, 
then,  find  ways  to  make  up  these  differentials  because  we  shall 
spend  something  in  the  magnitude  of  $3,000  on  each  student. 

To  give  some  other  comparisons,  a  student  in  one  of  the  better  j 
Eastern  colleges  will  pay  basic  costs  in  1968-69  in  the  range  of  i 
$3,000  and  $4,000.  Bear  in  mind  that  basic  costs  are  those  borne  ; 
only  by  the  student.  Additionally,  these  same  colleges  will  provide,  I 
from  their  own  funds  and  other  sources,  another  $2,000  to  $6,000.  | 
For  example,  Yale  University  will  operate  on  a  budget  in  1968-69  [ 
of  roughly  $90,000,000,  and  enrolls  9,000  students.  This  equates  to' 
about  $10,000  in  expenditure  per  student.  The  University  of  Chicago 
reports  that  it  spends  about  $13,500  for  a  graduate  student  in ' 
biology.  Medical  schools  across  the  country  frequently  spend , 
$15,000  per  year  per  student. 

Now  let's  turn  to  the  state  system  in  Mississippi  for  another  ; 
point  of  comparison.  Students  at  one  of  the  state  universities  next 
year  will  pay  a  basic  cost  of  $1,000  to  $1,300  in  room,  board,  and; 
tuition.  But  look  for  the  hidden  factor!  The  state  will  subsidize! 
each  student  about  $1,500  in  operating  and  capital  funds.  Even  ini! 
the  state  institution,  we  come  back  to  this  range  of  $2,500  to  $3,000', 
as  being  the  amount  spent  for  education  of  the  student.  j 

If  the  foregoing  figures  are  disturbing,  let  me  close  with  two  j 
external    but    no    irrelevant    comparisons.    The    nation    is    spending! 
about  $1,000  a  year  on  an  enrollee  in  the  Job  Corps,   where  per- 
sons  are    being   trained   in    such   vocations    as    bakers,    machinery 
operators,  and  barbers.  It  costs  about  $3,000  a  year  to  keep  a  man 
in  the  federal  penitentiary. 

A  college  education  today  is  probably  worth  $200,000  to  the  I 
typical  student.  So,  even  in  this  era  of  mushrooming  prices  and  ' 
galloping  inflation,  higher  education  is  still  a  bargain.  As  loyal  | 
alumni  and  friends,  you  will,  I  believe,  agree  with  me  that  Millsaps,  | 
considering  its  quality  and  using  any  broad  scale  of  measurement, 
remains  one  of  the  nation's  best  educational  buys. 


Millsapsians  Abroad 

European   Reaction   to 
Americans   In   Vietnam 

A  first-hand    report 


By   Howard  Bavender 
Assistant  Professor  of  Political   Science 

On  the  TWA  seven  o'clock  night  flight  to  London  out 
of  Dulles,  what  surprises  you  is  the  suddenness  of  the 
dawn.  By  midnight,  Washington  time,  a  light  blue  band 
appears  and  hangs  suspended  on  the  horizon.  As  you 
fly  into  this  dawn,  the  hovering  blue  band  slowly  ex- 
pands with  hght.  Finally  the  charming  young  lady  who 
has  been  feeding  you,  on  and  off  all  night,  gently  pushes 
a  Continental  breakfast  in  front  of  you  with  the  word 
that  London  is  an  hour  away. 

There  is  first  a  glimpse  of  the  green  fields  of  Eng- 
land; then,  all  at  once,  the  buildings  and  runways  of 
London's  Heathrow  Airport  rise  up,  and  you  are  there. 

British  courtesy,  always  a  wonder  to  those  unused  to 
the  likes  of  it,  eases  the  formalities  and  confusion  of 
entry.  On  the  way  into  London  cars  stack  up — just  like 
our  traffic — but  drivers  light  up  a  cigarette  and  assume 
a  calmly  preoccupied  look.  These  people  are  used  to 
waiting. 

Since  I  am  in  London  to  study  politics,  my  first  point 
cf  contact  is  the  American  Embassy.  There  it  sits, 
dominating  Grosvenor  Square,  of  menacing,  elegant, 
Georgian  architecture,  looking  a  little  like  an  embat- 
tled fortress  of  concrete  and  glass  topped  by  an  im- 
mense spread-winged  eagle. 

I  am  particularly  interested  in  the  impact  on  other 
countries  of  American  involvement  in  Vietnam,  and  1 
soon  learn  that  British  political  parties  wish  Vietnam 
did  not  exist.  As  with  the  other  European  politicians  I 
talked  with,  they  are  sympathetic  and  polite,  but  equally 
frank  in  telling  you  that  this  is  our  mess  and  they  are 
not  about  to  get  involved  in  it.  Between  Labor  and  Con- 
servatives, it  is  the  latter  that  furnishes  more  internal 
party  agreement  on  Britain's  support  of  the  American 
position.  But  not  even  the  Conservatives  would  go  be- 
yond Prime  Minister  Wilson's  policy.  Beyond  this  is  a 
considerable  public  apathy  about  it  all.  Parties  simply 
will  not  commit  themselves  to  an  issue  that  is  for  their 
people  completely  overshadowed  by  more  immedi- 
ate and  meaningful  problems.  If  one  accepts  the  valid- 
ity of  the  American  role  in  Asia,  Europe's  current  atti- 
tude about  Vietnam  is  not  unlike  that  prevailing  in  the 
heyday  of  Stanley  Baldwin  and  Neville  Chamberlin 
when  Hitler  and  Mussolini  were  on  the  rise. 

Last  fall  the  British  Labor  Party  conference 
revolted  against  the  Wilson  support  of  the  Johnson  ad- 
ministration position  in  Vietnam.   An  indication  of  this 


development  came  to  me  in  an  encounter  with  a  young 
Laborite  who,  it  turned  out,  had  been  in  a  Jackson  jail 
back  in  1964.  A  Yale  student  then,  he  had  come  South  in 
a  wave  of  Civil  Rights  workers.  His  reasoning  about 
Vietnam  is  fairly  characteristic  of  Labor's  left  wing. 
Ho  Chi  Minh,  this  young  man  argued,  is  a  Tito,  i.e.,  he 
is  his  own  man,  a  nationalist  who  would  have  defied 
China  and  done  so  with  the  encouragement  of  Moscow. 
The  war  is  a  civil  war,  an  insurgent  movement.  True, 
Hanoi  has  intervened  to  gain  control  of  the  movement, 
but  nonetheless  it  is  a  civil  war  and  for  this  reason  we 
lack  justification  for  our  intervention. 

With  Laborites  and  Conservatives,  the  bombing  is 
the  most  seriously  disturbing  issue.  They  agree  they 
want  it  stopped  or  at  least  narrowly  restricted  to  crucial 
targets.  Britons  see  the  bombings  on  their  television 
sets,  and  many  recall  the  experiences  of  twenty-five 
years  ago.  Laboring  classes  especially,  a  Party  mem- 
ber said,  do  not  understand  the  war  and  are  the  least 
sympathetic  of  all  classes  in  this  socially  stratified 
society  to  the  American  role  in  Southeast  Asia. 

By  now  many  Americans  are  familiar  with  the  flam- 
boyant, rather  kookish,  Foreign  Secretary,  George 
Brown.  Shortly  before  making  this  trip  I  had  read  in 
the  New  York  Times  a  background  study  of  the  For- 
eign Secretary  which  dwelt  on  certain  weaknesses  in 
his  makeup — alleged  to  be  women,  liquor,  and  a  general 
tendency  to  just  plain  erratic  behavior.  Were  the  stor- 
ies true?  1  asked.  A  Laborite  in  a  position  to  know  in- 
sisted that  the  specific  stories  used  by  the  Times  were 
not  true,  but  added  with  a  knowing  smile,  "I  could  tell 
you  some  other  stories  that  are  really  good!"  Conserva- 
tives were  more  sober  about  Mr.  Brown:  "A  security 
risk!"  exclaimed  one.  I  watched  the  Foreign  Secretary 
in  a  major  House  of  Commons  debate  on  the  Middle  East 
crisis,  where  under  intense  questioning  from  both  sides 
of  the  House  he  maintained  his  "cool"  and  bore  up,  I 
thought,  in  the  style  of  a  first-rate  House  of  Commons 
man. 

Throughout  my  conversations  in  Europe  I  often 
heard  expressed  a  longing  for  John  F.  Kennedy.  The 
feeling  toward  President  Johnson  ranged  from  indiffer- 
ence to  respect  for  him  as  a  politician's  politician.  Only 
in  Rome  was  I  to  hear  him  described  as  the  "most  real- 
istic president  in  many  years."  There  was  no  evidence 
of  hostility  toward  the  President,  not  even,  surprisingly, 
from   communists.    For   most   Europeans,    though,    Ken-

"French  parties  .  .  .  plan  for  the  day 
when  DeGaulle  is  no  longer  ....  Certain  reversals 

in  France's  foreign  policy  are  sure  to  come. 

These  reversals  will  become  evident  in  renewal  of  the 

military  and  economic  cooperation 

with  the  Western  Alliance  .  .  .  ." 


nedy,  as  one  Frenchman  put  it,  was  "my  kind  of  Presi- 
dent." They  speak  of  "Bobby"  as  if  he  were  the  heir  of 
a  dynasty  with  a  legitimate  claim  to  the  Presidency,  one 
who  could  one  day  be  expected  to  come  into  his  own. 

Orly  airport  is  the  new  France.  It  is  huge,  full  of 
marble,  glass,  and  attractive  young  French  men  and 
women  who  move  you  along  with  brusque  efficiency  and 
excellent  English.  Going  out  on  an  escalator,  one  has 
time  to  read  the  large  letters  on  a  wall  stating  that  this 
building  was  opened  in  the  presence  of  the  President  of 
the  Republic  and  his  ministers  back  in  1959.  This  first 
taste  of  La  Grandeur  is  impressive. 

It  is  Sunday,  and  the  London  weather — bright  sun 
and  clear  skies — is  carrying  over  across  the  channel.  As 
the  sweep  of  the  Paris  skyline  with  the  famous  land- 
marks, dominated  by  the  Eiffel  Tower,  comes  into  view, 
tourists  on  the  Air  France  bus  going  into  the  city  mur- 
mur appreciative  exclamations  of  recognition.  Parisians 
promenade  on  Sunday.  They  love  their  city  as  no  other 
people  in  the  world  love  a  city.  All  that  the  world  knows 
or  imagines  Paris  to  be  is  here:  wide  avenues  lined  with 
trees,  the  sidewalk  cafes,  and  those  long  loaves  of 
bread  being  carried  home  from  the  neighborhood  bakery. 


The  Author: 

Howard  Bavender 
came  to  Millsaps  last 
year  from  Springfield 
College  in  Springfield, 
Massachusetts.  He  is 
one  of  the  most  ac- 
tive teachers  on  the 
campus.  He  doesn't 
believe  in  in  -  class 
teaching  only:  He  has 
taken  his  students  to 
the  ports  of  New  Or- 
leans to  study  inter- 
national trade  and  to 
the  United  Nations. 
He  received  his  BA 
degree  from  College 
of  Idaho,  his  IVLA  from 
the  University  of  Wis- 
consin, and  has  done 
some  doctoral  work 
at  the  University  of 
Texas.  This  trip  to 
Europe  was  not  his 
first,  another  having 
been  made  in  1965-66. 
He  has  also  traveled 
in  Asia. 


If  Paris  is  romance,  it  is  also  history,  the  kind  that 
is  sensed  in  Marie  Antoinette's  dark  cell  in  the  Con- 
ciergerie.  You  enter  the  cell  by  stooping  low,  as  she  was 
forced  to  stoop  by  the  revolutionaries,  who  lowered  the 
height  of  her  cell  door  in  retaliation  for  her  defiant  re- 
mark that  she  would  never  bow  her  head  to  anyone.  In- 
side, amid  a  few  pathetic  relics,  hangs  the  blade  of  a 
guillotine.  There  is  a  lesson  in  martyrdom  here,  for  the 
Revolution  that  demanded  the  life  of  Marie  Antoinette 
turned  her  from  a  vain  and  foolish  woman  into  the 
brave  and  tragic  queen  of  haunting  legend.  There  is 
irony,  too,  in  that  here,  where  the  Terror  sent  thousands 
to  their  death,  the  law  courts  of  France  now  administer 
justice. 

Paris  is  a  great  political  capital  revolving  around 
Charles  de  Gaulle.  He  is  an  omnipresence,  felt  if  not 
necessarily  visible.  The  Elysee  Palace  might  be  Olympus 
and  the  General  might  be  Zeus  within.  French  politicians 
make  jokes  about  him  as  irreverent  as  anything 
heard  in  America.  There  is,  however,  little  of  the 
element  of  pathological  bitterness  that  Americans  are 
familiar  enough  with  in  public  attitudes  toward  their 
own  presidents.  What  seems  to  be  universal,  even 
among  the  Gaullists,  is  an  acute  awareness  that  the 
great  man  is,  after  all,  mortal  and  that  his  end  must 
come,  and  it  cannot  be  too  far  away,  either.  French 
parties,  then,  are  restive,  and  plan  for  the  day  when  De 
Gaulle  is  no  longer.  At  this  point  two  things  can  be 
stated  with  certainty  about  what  will  follow  De  Gaulle. 
The  French  will  no  longer  tolerate  a  weak  executive  of 
the  kind  that  for  them  meant  disaster  in  the  Third  and 
Fourth  Republics.  A  prominent  French  socialist  acknowl- 
edged that  a  strong  presidency  may  well  prove  to  be 
De  Gaulle's  lasting  contribution  to  France.  He  has 
brought  the  French  a  stability  of  the  kind  they  had  not 
known  since  1789.  Secondly,  while  La  Grandeur  as  a 
concept  in  French  politics  may  be  expected  to  endure 
after  the  General  is  gone  (it  is  of  long  standing  in 
French  politics,  antedating  De  Gaulle  by  many  years), 
certain  important  reversals  in  France's  foreign  policy 
are  sure  to  come.  These  reversals  will  become  evident  in 
renewal  of  the  military  and  economic  cooperation  with 
the  Western  Alliance,  including  the  admission  of  Britain 
to  the  European  Community  if,  as  was  frequently  men- 
tioned, she  accepts  the  principles  of  the  Treaty  of  Rome. 

For  Americans,  the  most  interesting  personality  in 
French  politics  is  Jean  Lecanuet,  a  senator,  who  has  giv- 
en France  a  taste  for  the  Kennedy  image  in  his  youth 
and  style.  Lecanuet  placed  third  in  the  1965  presidential 
election.  I  asked  Pierre  Bordry,  Lecanuet's  chef  du  cabi- 
net, why  the  Senator  entered  a  race  he  was  bound  to 
lose  from  the  start.  Bordry,  a  boyish-looking  27,  said 
that  it  was  because  there  was  a  need  to  give  French 
voters  a  truly  democratic  alternative  to  De  Gaulle. 
Francois  Mitterrand,  who  placed  second  in  the  presi- 
dential election  of  late   1965,   he  pointed  out,  had   com- 


munist  support,  and  France,  Bordry  continued,  was 
capable  of  going  communist,  having  as  she  does  the 
largest  European  Communist  Party  outside  Italy. 

De  Gaulle  has  pre-empted  Vietnam  as  an  issue  for 
French  parties.  Few,  outside  of  the  communists,  agree 
with  the  tenor  of  De  Gaulle's  frequent  denunciations  of 
the  American  role.  I  discovered  far  greater  understand- 
ing of  the  steps  that  led  to  American  involvement  than 
Americans  might  think.  For  eight  years  Vietnam  was 
the  anguish  of  France.  The  French  know  only  too  well 
what  it  is  about.  We  must  extricate  ourselves,  I  was 
told,  but  this  can  only  come  about  through  negotiations. 
Without  exception,  wherever  I  raised  the  question,  it 
was  believed  that  the  beginning  of  such  negotiations 
would  be  geared  to  political  developments  in  the  United 
States,  particularly  the  1968  elections. 

I  was  to  learn  of  an  interesting  luncheon  conversa- 
tion last  spring  between  American  Ambassador  Bohlen 
and  a  small  group  of  French  politicians.  The  Ambassa- 
dor was  warned  that  the  Israeli  government  considered 
an  Arab  attack  imminent.  His  reply  was  that  domestic 
dissension  in  the  United  States  over  Vietnam  precluded 
any  move  by  the  United  States  to  halt  such  an  attack. 
American  public  opinion  simply  would  not  accept  any- 
thing that  might  appear  to  involve  us  in  another  con- 
fUct.  The  point  of  this  story,  according  to  my  informant, 
who  participated  in  the  luncheon,  was  that  America  was 
being  threatened  with  immobilisme  in  its  foreign  poUcy 
because  of  Vietnam. 

This  kind  of  reproach  as  to  what  we  might  have 
done  to  ward  off  events  I  was  to  encounter  again  in 
Greece. 

Where   Democracy  Began   .   .   . 

Ancient  Athens,  where  democracy  began,  has  known 
little  of  it  through  the  centuries.  She  has  known  many 
more  tyrants  and  demagogues  than  democrats.  The 
Parthenon,  eloquent  embodiment  of  the  creativity  of 
which  rational  man  is  capable,  looks  out  to  Homer's 
"wine-dark  sea"  where  the  Battle  of  Salamis  shaped 
the  destiny  of  European  civilization.  But  in  the  city  be- 
low a  small  group  of  military  despots,  with  the  totali- 
tarian paraphernalia  of  secret  police,  censorship,  and 
concentration  camps  for  their  political  enemies,  rules 
modern  Greece. 

The  way  in  which  these  men  have  taken  power  is 
an  ominous  study  in  how  democracy  can  fall  to  a  small 
group  of  willful  men  bent  on  destroying  it.  Because  polit- 
ical activity  has  been  suppressed  in  Greece,  it  was  diffi- 
cult to  find  people  willing  to  talk.  It  was  here  that  I  first 
learned  of  what  has  since  proved  to  be  a  recurrent  rumor 
about  the  role  of  the  CIA  in  the  coup  of  the  Greek 
colonels.  A  Center  Party  deputy  told  me,  "I  don't  be- 
lieve it  (about  the  CIA),  but  still  the  evidence  is  there." 
The  junta,  made  up  mostly  of  colonels,  commanded 
strategic  units  in  and  around  Athens.  These  were  units 


with  which  American  military  advisers  were  closely  in- 
volved because  of  Greece's  NATO  role.  The  extensive 
troop  movements  that  preceded  the  coup  could  not 
have  been  other  than  obvious  to  Americans.  Athens  had 
been  rife  with  rumors  of  an  impending  seizure  of  pow- 
er. King  Constantine  refused  to  believe  these  rumors. 
Since  Americans  could  not  help  but  know  of  the  unusual 
military  activity,  one  of  two  conclusions  is  difficult  to 
avoid:  either  they  (the  Americans)  were  ignorant  of 
what  it  meant  and,  if  they  were,  incredibly  stupid;  or 
they  knew  what  it  meant  and  approved  of  it.  An  Ameri- 
can stand  supporting  the  king  would  have  placed  us  be- 
hind the  cause  of  democracy.  To  Eastern  Europeans 
American  inaction  in  the  Greek  coup  is  being  propa- 
gandized by  communists  as  support  of  a  fascist  regime. 

The  junta's  case,  explained  to  me  by  a  government 
spokesman,  is  less  convincing.  Their  case  is  essentially 
this:  the  Center  Party,  Greece's  largest  single  party, 
headed  by  the  Papandreou  father  and  son  combination, 
was  moving  towards  a  secret  rapprochement  with  the 
Greek  communists  in  an  effort  to  seize  the  government 
and  overthrow  the  monarchy.  Since  Greece  has  a 
minuscule  communist  party,  this  seemed  to  me  improb- 
able, and  I  said  so.  The  answer  to  this  was  that  it  would 
have  been  necessary  for  the  communists  to  provide  the 
Center  Party  with  the  necessary  votes  for  electoral  vic- 
tories in  a  few  key  districts  to  give  Papandreou  forces 
the  votes  needed  in  Parliament.  The  government  has 
made  public  evidence  purporting  to  describe  these 
secret  negotiations  between  Center  Party  and  com- 
munist representatives.  My  own  sources,  which  I  am 
compelled  to  identify  only  as  "reliable,"  discount  the 
charges  of  an  impending  coup  by  Papandreou.  If  it  is 
true  that  the  CIA  was  involved,  then  we  indeed  have  a 
dangerous  division  in  the  foreign  policy-making  machin- 
ery of  this  country,  a  fear  that  has  been  voiced  before 
in  other  quarters. 

Constantine's  attempted  counter-coup  late  this  fall, 
it  was  evident  last  summer,  was  simply  a  matter  of 
time.  It  is  clear  now  that  the  King's  backers  seriously 
overestimated  his  popularity.  It  is  clear,  too,  that  when 
the  government  spokesman  warned  me  that  the  junta 
was  more  strongly  entrenched  than  I  was  willing  to  ad- 
mit, he  was  quite  right. 

Italy  Takes   "Right"   Positions 

If  the  only  lasting  peace  the  Western  World  has  ever 
known  has  hinged  on  its  great  empires,  those  which 
have  produced  Pax  Romana,  Pax  Britannica,  and  now, 
as  some  say.  Pax  Americana,  then  a  visit  to  Hadrian's 
Villa  outside  Rome  is  cause  for  reflection.  Eleanor 
Clark  in  her  Rome  and  a  Villa  has  written  of  this  coun- 
try seat  of  Hadrian,  one  of  Rome's  more  civilized  em- 
perors, "It  is  the  saddest  place  in  the  world,  gaunt  as  an 
old  abandoned  graveyard,  only  what  is  buried  there  is 
the  Roman  Empire."  The  vast  Villa  was  the  heart  of  an 


"Among  those  involved  in  the  decision-making 

process  within  the  parties,  Vietnam  is  understood  as  well 

as  it  is  here  .  ...  It  should  be  pointed  out  that 

with  the  exception  of  the  communists 

there  is  no  widespread  feeling  against  American 

involvement." 


empire,  a  world  of  its  own  where  Hadrian  recreated 
aspects  of  the  empire  he  continuously  traveled. 
Hadrian's  Villa  is  in  a  valley.  Directly  above  it  is  Tivoli, 
in  the  Alban  hills,  a  Roman  spa  where  today,  every 
Tuesday  afternoon,  the  local  Rotary  International  meets 
for  lunch.  In  Tivoli  is  another  monument  to  the  transi- 
toriness  of  man's  self-glorification,  Villa  d'Este,  created 
by  a  Renaissance  Cardinal  as  a  paradise  of  terraced 
fountains  and  Cyprus  trees. 

Rome  is  the  creation  of  her  caesars,  those  of 
antiquity  and  those  more  modern  in  origin,  the  popes, 
the  Renaissance  lords.  Amid  their  colossal  creations  of 
pomp  and  pride,  with  Rome's  sweltering  heat  and 
jammed  streets,  modern  Italy  is  not  easy  to  discover. 

Dr.  Angelo  Sperrazza,  head  of  the  foreign  section  of 
the  Christian  Democratic  Party,  agreed  to  meet  me  in 
the  party  headquarters  directly  behind  the  Piazza 
Venezio,  where  Mussolini  did  his  famous  Roman  bal- 
cony scenes.  The  Christian  Democratic  parties  of  Eu- 
rope are  Catholicism's  answer  to  Marxism.  Dr.  Sperraz- 
za is  typical  of  the  military,  socially  conscious  layman 
of  a  church  facing  a  forbidding  challenge  from  the  larg- 
est Communist  Party  outside  the  communist  system.  He 
has  youth,  idealism,  high  intelligence,  and  a  commit- 
ment to  a  vision  of  a  new  and  greater  Italy. 

He  denied  what  I  had  previously  been  told  was  a 
slowly  rising  communist  vote  in  Italy,  a  vote  now  at 
about  a  fourth  of  the  total.  Italy's  survival  depends  on 
strong  political  parties  and  leadership  among  her  youth. 
The  present  weaknesses  of  Italian  parties  comes  from 
public  apathy  and  distrust  of  the  parties.  The  Chris- 
tian Democratic  government  of  Premier  Aldo  Moro  sup- 
ports the  Johnson  Vietnam  policy.  Public  response  to 
this  issue  is  negligible.  In  striking  contrast  to  this  atti- 
tude was  the  reaction  of  the  Italian  public  to  the  Arab- 
Israeli  war  in  June.  Italians  were  open  and  mag- 
nanimous in  manifestations  of  sympathy  for  the  Israelis. 
In  part,  this  outpouring  of  feeling  was  the  mark  of  an 
anti-fascism  developed  through  years  of  effective  com- 
munist propaganda.  Italians,  never  anti-semitic,  abhorred 
the  mistreatment  of  Europe's  Jews,  which  they  associ- 
ated with  fascism. 

I  learned  from  another  source  that  political  dissen- 
sion in  the  United  States  over  Vietnam  had  for  a  time 
caused  pressure  to  be  brought  on  the  Moro  government 
to  weaken  its  support.  This  came  from  Moro's  coalition 
partners,  Pietro  Nenni's  left-wing  Socialists.  The  Mid- 
dle East  crisis  cut  the  ground  from  this  faction  by  bring- 
ing home  to  the  Italian  public  the  closeness  of  the  com- 
munist military  threat,  in  the  open  Soviet  support  of 
the  Arab  attack  through  their  show  of  naval  strength  in 
the  Mediterranean. 

Commenting  on  the  Italian  government's  sup- 
port of  the  Johnson  administration  on  Vietnam,  some- 
one remarked  that  it  really  amounted  to  little.  The  Ital- 
ians  took   all  the   right  positions    so   far   as   Americans 


were  concerned  but  lacked    the    world    influence    that 
would  enable  them  to  do  much  more  than  talk  about  it. 

New  Communists  Seem  Mellowed 

The  new  Europe  has  a  capital  in  Brussels,  head- 
ijuarters  of  the  European  Community  (the  three  com- 
munities, Coal  and  Steel,  Common  Market,  and  Eura- 
tom,  are  now  merged  to  the  extent  that  they  have  a 
common  executive  and  administrative  system),  made 
up  of  the  six  countries  constituting  the  economic  core  of 
Europe.  Brussels  is  a  trilingual  city  (French,  German, 
and  English);  if  you  add  Flemish,  it  is  quadrilingual. 
While  a  sense  of  Europeanness  is  increasingly  evident 
in  the  capitals  of  Europe,  it  is  even  more  obvious  that 
considerable  ground  will  have  to  be  covered  before  a 
political  United  States  of  Europe  is  a  reality.  A  visit  to 
the  giant  bureaucratic  complex  of  the  Community  is 
enough  to  make  one  realize  that  De  Gaulle  is  right 
when  he  says  that  the  nation  state,  for  the  foreseeable 
future,  is  the  only  viable  reality  in  the  international  po- 
litical system.  The  Community  is  evolving  gradually  into 
a  political  state,  but  it  is  likely  to  be  another  generation 
before  it  can  command  the  kind  of  emotional  loyalty 
characteristic  of  a  nation  state. 

My  meeting  with  two  Belgian  communists  was  re- 
vealing in  that  it  brought  out  the  thinking  of  the  Moscow- 
oriented  communist  of  the  Kosygin-Breshnev  generation. 
Faith  in  the  Marxist  dialectic  remains  unshaken,  but 
there  is  no  talk  of  taking  to  the  streets  to  hasten  the 
revolution.  The  new  generation  even  accepts  the  Eu- 
ropean Community  idea,  formerly  anathema  to  com- 
munists. One  of  the  Belgians  I  talked  with,  a  member 
of  the  Party's  Central  Committee,  responding  to  a  ques- 
tion as  to  his  interpretation  of  the  ghetto  riots  then 
sweeping  to  the  United  States,  explained  them  in  terms 
that  sounded  to  me  much  more  moderate  than  the  Marx- 
ist-influenced American  sociologist  C.  Wright  MiUs  might 
have  used.  Did  he  believe  this  was  the  beginning  of  a 
revolution?  He  shook  his  head.  No,  American  political 
institutions  would  cope  with  these  problems  as  they  had 
other  problems  of  equal  magnitude  in  the  past. 

Before  I  left  I  picked  up  a  pamphlet  on  the  desk 
which  described  Americans  in  Vietnam  as  worse  than 
Hitler.  I  showed  it  to  the  one  who  spoke  English  particu- 
larly well  and  said,  "Surely  you  know  this  is  nonsense!" 
Without  answering  directly,  he  gave  me  a  patient 
smile,  shrugged  his  shoulders  as  if  to  say,  "Well,  Com- 
rade, you  know  how  it  is." 

Negro  Government   Rules   Nassau 

On  the  way  back  I  stopped  in  Nassau,  in  the 
Bahamas.  There  a  quiet  revolution  had  taken  place  six 
months  earlier.  An  all-Negro  government,  the  product, 
in  part,  of  Britain's  insistence  upon  a  one  man-one  vote 
rule  in  the  islands,  had  taken  over  from  a  white  oligarchy 


that  had  been  governing  the  islands  for  three  centuries. 
Quite  a  few  of  this  governing  class  were  descendants  of 
Loyalists  in  the  American  Revolution  and  of  Confederate 
sympathizers  migrating  to  the  Bahamas  after  the  Civil 
War.  In  the  Royal  Victoria  Hotel,  where  captains  of 
Confederate  raiders  once  made  their  headquarters,  afflu- 
ent American  Negroes  now  take  their  ease.  The  shock  of 
this  to  the  whites  of  the  Bahamas  would  be  analogous  to 
the  feeling  of  Mississippi  whites  discovering  one  morn- 
ing that  they  had  an  all-Negro  government  in  Jackson. 

The  tactics  of  Sir  Stafford  Sands,  now  in  self-imposed 
exile  in  Spain,  and  then  under  investigation  by  a  Royal 
Commission,  furnishes  fascinating  if  somewhat  lurid 
example  of  the  tight  oligarchical  rule  prevailing  in  the 
islands.  Sir  Stafford,  whom  I  heard  described  by  admir- 
ers and  enemies  alike  as  "brilliant  and  ruthless,"  was 
minister  of  finance  and  tourism  and  in  this  position  made 
the  tourist  industry  into  the  mainstay  of  the  island's 
economy.  Sir  Stafford  himself  was  subsequently  to 
acknowledge  before  the  Royal  Commission  that  in  the 
process  of  developing  tourism  he  had  enriched  him- 
self in  excess  of  a  million  dollars  as  the  result  of  favors 
to  American  gambling  interests,  all  done  in  a  way  that 
could  not  be  called  illegal. 

The  government  of  Premier  Lynden  Pindling,  him- 
self a  product  of  a  British  legal  education,  has  moved 
slowly  and  cautiously  toward  a  more  socially  conscious 
political  order  in  the  islands.  In  an  income  tax-free  econ- 
omy, the  Pindling  government  has  indicated  that  it  ex- 
pects the  tourist  industry  to  put  more  of  its  huge  profits 
back  into  the  economy.  And  in  doing  this,  I  was  told  by 
one  of  their  advisers  from  the  old  British  colonial  serv- 
ice, "They're  learning,  and  learning  well." 

Europeans  Apathetic  About  Vietnam 

To  conclude:  1  found  that  while  European  political 
parties  dislike  and  even  fear  the  implications  of  Viet- 
nam, it  is  on  the  other  hand  far  from  true  to  contend,  as 
do  some  people,  that  it  has  lost  us  support  abroad  to  a 
serious  degree.  Among  those  involved  in  the  decision- 
making process  within  the  parties,  Vietnam  is  under- 
stood as  well  as  it  is  here.  Even  among  the  Gaullists 
there  is  considerable  sympathy,  if  not  support,  for  the 
United  States.  If  sections  of  the  European  public  do  not 
understand  Vietnam,  it  is  more  than  likely  because  of  a 
lack  of  interest  as  much  as  anything.  At  the  same  time 
it  should  be  pointed  out  that  with  the  exception  of  the 
communists  there  is  no  widespread  feeling  against 
American  involvement,  either. 

Finally,  there  is  a  new  era  fast  taking  shape  in  Eu- 
rope. It  reflects  the  intelligence  and  creativity  of  a  great 
civilization  that  is  as  old  as  the  West  and  as  young  and 
vital  as  its  youth  of  vision  and  imagination  who  in  Eu- 
rope, as  elsewhere,  are  rapidly  become  the  majority  of 
the  population.

Troubadours  in  the  Tropics

HEU.0     'TROUBADOURS 

WELCOME    TO    GUANTANAMO    ^ 
WE  HOPE  YOU   ENJOY    YOl 


l^' 


The   Millsaps   Troubadours   were    greeted   at   Guantanamo,  Cuba,  by  a  big  sign  welcoming  them  to  the  base. 


Four  weeks  in  the  Caribbean.  Lazing  in  the  sun,  water 
skiing,  sailboating,  yachting,  fishing,  playing  tennis,  golf- 
ing, skin  diving,  swimming,  shopping,  sightseeing. 

The  Millsaps  Troubadours  had  all  this  last  summer, 
and  all  for  the  price  of  a  song. 

And  the  ability  to  make  that  song  sound  good,  and 
the  presentation  of  it  look  good. 

The  Troubadours,  six  males  and  six  coeds  and  their 
director,  Leland  Byler,  were  chosen  to  entertain  in  the 
Caribbean  Command  by  the  National  Music  Council-USO. 
They  left  June  4  for  Charleston,  South  Carolina,  the  next 
day  taking  an  eight-hour  flight  to  Fort  Clajrton  in  the 
Panama  Canal  Zone. 

"We  were  billeted  in  especially  nice  visiting  officers' 
quarters  at  Fort  Clayton  for  ten  days,"  said  Mr.  Byler  in 
a  written  report  on  the  trip.  "The  weather  at  this  season 
was  quite  humid  and  warm.  We  were  assigned  a  bus,  a 
truck  to  carry  our  equipment,  and  a  couple  of  men  who 
assisted  with  sound  and  lighting  on  all  our  shows.  We  were 
billeted  on  the  Pacific  side  and  made  trips  to  the  Atlan- 
tic side  on  three  occasions. 

"We  were  there  on  the  anniversary  of  the  rioting  in 
Panama  City  and  the  city  was  off  limits  for  all  military 
personnel  for  a  week  of  our  stay.  Shortly  before  our  de- 
parture we  went  into  the  city  to  shop  and,  although  we 


did  not  realize  it  then,  the  best  bargains  of  our  entire 
trip  were  available  in  Panama.  This  part  of  our  trip  in- 
cluded a  tour  of  old  Panama,  a  dinner  at  the  Tivoli  Hotel 
for  the  Troubadours  and  all  service  personnel  connected 
with  entertainment,  a  tour  of  the  Canal,  and  a  two-hour 
cruise  in  Gatun  Lake." 

A  couple  who  saw  the  Millsaps  group  in  Panama  ar- 
ranged with  their  tour  officer  to  have  six  young  couples 
teach  them  Panamanian  folk  dances.  And  a  Millsaps 
alumnus,  Sam  Moody  of  the  Class  of  1928,  invited  the 
singers  aboard  his  yacht  for  a  deep-sea  fishing  excursion. 

Continued  Mr.  Byler,  "From  Panama  we  went  to 
Guantanamo  Bay,  Cuba,  flying  in  General  Alger's  plane. 
The  Navy  sent  a  large  bus  to  the  airport  with  a  huge 
sign  on  the  sid^  welcoming  us  to  Guantanamo  Bay.  The 
bus  and  Mr.  Joe  Ramirez  were  available  for  any  of  our 
transportation  needs  during  the  four  days  of  our  stay 
there.  We  were  billeted  in  a  large  house  in  the  residence 
area,  eating  at  the  enlisted  men's  mess  hall  at  no  cost  to 
us.  There  were  many  recreation  facilities  available-golf- 
ing, horseback  riding,  swimming,  and  sailing.  We  had  our 
largest  audience  here,  2,000,  in  one  of  the  outdoor  theat- 
ers that  are  common  in  the  Caribbean  Command.  It  was 
from  here  that  many  members  of  our  troupe  called  home 
by  way  of  the  shortwave  radio  located  at  Guantanamo." 

Joe  Ramirez  made  an  impression  on  the  Troubadours.

Doing  what  any  tourist  spends  a  large  amount  of  time  on,   Paul  Newsom  snaps  a  scenic  view. 


A  native  Puerto  Rican,  he  invited  the  troupe  to  his  home, 
where  they  met  two  refugees  from  Communist  Cuba. 
One  had  climbed  over  the  fence  separating  Guantanamo 
from  Communist  Cuba. 

Mark  Matheny,  one  of  the  members  of  the  group, 
said  of  this  part  of  their  trip,  "The  appearance  of  Guan- 
tanamo was  almost  in  direct  contrast  to  Panama.  Where- 
as Panama  was  lush  and  green,  Guantanamo  was  desert- 
like. And  of  course  there  was  the  fence  dividing  the  U.  S. 
outpost  from  Communist  Cuba.  Just  beyond  the  fence 
Castro  had  put  up  a  sign:  'Territory  free  of  the  United 
States.'" 

"From  Guantanamo  Bay  we  went  to  Puerto  Rico," 
Mr.  Byler  continued,  "where,  at  Roosevelt  Roads,  we 
stayed  in  a  large  VOQ  installation.  The  facilities  were 
very  nice,  but  we  were  pretty  much  on  our  own  as  far 
as  free  time  was  concerned.  We  rented  a  station  wagon 
and  were  able  to  travel  to  the  shopping  area,  go  to  the 
beach,  and  sightsee.  In  Puerto  Rico  we  had  no  escort  of- 
ficer, only  someone  in  charge  of  special  services  at  each 
post.  All  our  programs  here  were  indoors,  and  we  went 
everywhel-e  by  bus. 

"From  Puerto  Rico  we  went  to  Antigua,  flying  in  an 
admiral's  plane  which  had  special  appointments  for  com- 
munication not  normally  found  on  commercial  planes. 


"The  remainder  of  our  tour  consisted  of  'one  night 
stands'  on  different  islands — Grand  Turk,  San  Salvador, 
Eleuthera.  These  posts  werei  smaller,  in  some  instances 
had  no  dependents  on  base,  and  our  program  seemed  to 
be  especially  appreciated  by  these  men.  After  these  stops 
we  went  to  Patrick  Air  Force  Base,  back  in  the  U.  S. 
From  Patrick  we  were  taken  by  bus  to  Orlando,  Florida, 
where  we  took  a  jet  to  AtlEmta  and  a  DC-6  to  Jackson." 

Mr.  Byler  summarized,  "The  Troubadours  returned 
with  a  deep  sense  of  accomplishment.  Each  of  us  was 
impressed  with  the  value  of  such  a  tour  to  the  military 
men,  whose  enthusiastic  response  to  the  show  was  over- 
whelming. At  virtually  all  bases,  demands  for  encores, 
and  repeated  comments  that  this  was  one  of  the  best  USO 
shows  that  had  been  seen,  gave  us  all  a  justifiable  pride 
in  a  job  well  done.  The  military  men  enjoyed  the  enter- 
tainment and  also  appreciated  the  willingness  of  the 
group  to  socialize  and  visit  with  them.  Wherever  possible 
our  troupe  remained  after  the  program  to  get  acquainted 
and  talk  with  the  servicemen  who  were  interested.  For 
many,  this  was  as  enjoyable  as  the  program  itself." 

The  Troubadours  have  recorded  their  tour  program, 
and  the  record  is  on  sale  under  the  title  "Troubadours 
in  the  Tropics."  It  sells  for  $4  in  the  Music  Hall  and  Pub- 
lic Relations  Office  and  will  be  mailed  post  paid  at  no 
extra  charge.

The  Troubadours  did  a  good  bit  of 
sightseeing  on  their  tour.  In  the  top 
left  picture,  five  of  them  are  seen  at 
the  ruins  of  a  cathedral  in  Panama. 
The  same  ruin  is  shown  in  the  bottom 
right  picture,  below.  Another  picture 
on  the  left  shows  the  group  being 
rowed  from  the  yacht  of  Sam  Moody, 
'28,  to  Tobago  Island,  and  another 
shows  the  costumed  Troubadours  pur- 
chasing fruit  in  Panama  for  one  of 
their  almost  nightly  fruit  parties.  The 
final  picture  on  the  left  page  shows 
half  the  group  clowning  for  a  camera- 
man —  Leland  Byler,  in  this  case. 
To  the  immediate  left,  Mark  Matheny 
attempts  to  catch  a  swan  at  the  Pres- 
ident's home  in  Panama.  The  altar 
shown  fascinated  the  entertainers: 
during  an  invasion  the  gold  chapel 
was  whitewashed,  and  the  plunderers 
missed  this  treasure.  Immediately  be- 
low is  the  fence  separating  Communist 
Cuba  from  the  Guantanamo  base.  All 
photographs  on  these  pages  were  made 
by  Charles  Gerald  from  slides  taken 
on  the  trip  by  Leland  Byler  and  Bob 
Ridgway.

Millsapsians  Abroad 


Seven  Trips  to   Europe  Make  Hardin 
''Most  Widely  Traveled  Mississippian'' 


No  one  asks  Paul  Hardin  any  more  what  he'll  be  do- 
ing in  the  summer.  The  question  now  is  not  what  but 
where. 

Every  summer  since  1961  Mr.  Hardin  has  traveled  to 
Europe.  He  has  been  called  one  of  Mississippi's  most 
widely  traveled  citizens. 

But  Hardin  is  not  a  person  who  thinks  he  has  to 
see  something  new  each  time  he  goes,  so  his  farthest 
point  to  date  is  Istanbul,  Turkey.  "I  find  that  when  I 
return  to  a  country  that  I've  been  to  before,  or  a  city, 
it's  even  more  pleasant  than  it  was  before,"  he  ex- 
plains. 

He  really  has  two  purposes  in  making  his  trips — or 
had,  when  he  started  out.  One  is  to  visit  the  haunts  of 
literary  figures  and  the  other  is  to  increase  his  vast 
collection  of  friends.  The  former  helps  in  his  teaching, 
and  the   latter,   indirectly,   does   also. 

His  interest  might  not  have  been  quite  so  great  if 
back  in  1858  a  young  man  named  Dr.  William  Giles  had 
not  migrated  to  America  from  Nottingham,  England.  Dr. 
Giles  had  been  advised  to  come  to  the  States  for  reasons 
of  health.  He  came  from  the  Florida  coast  over  an  Indian 
trail  and  settled  down  near  the  present  site  of  Menden- 
hall,  Mississippi,  in  a  community  called  Westville.  He 
married  a  local  girl  and  reared  a  family,  among  whom 
was  a  daughter,  Mary.  Mary  married  a  Methodist  min- 
ister, Paul  D.  Hardin.  Dr.  Giles'  adopted  homeland  ap- 
parently agreed  with  him,  since  he  lived  into  his  nine- 
ties, but  throughout  his  life  he  continued  to  take  Eng- 
lish newspapers  and  talked  a  great  deal  about  his  native 
England. 

His  love  of  England  was  transmitted  to  his  daughter 
Mary  and  her  son  Paul,  who  greatly  desired  to  go  to 
England.  Through  the  years  they  maintained  correspond- 
ence with  cousins  there.  So,  in  the  summer  of  1961,  Paul 
finally  made  his  "trip  of  a  lifetime,"  his  "trip  to  Eu- 
rope." 

The  next  summer,  when  he  arrived  back  in  England, 
he  was  kiddingly  reminded  by  his  cousins  that  he  had 
already  made  his  trip  of  a  lifetime.  But  Hardin  had 
found  that  his  appetite  for  travel  had  been  whetted  by 
that  first  visit:  "One  taste  of  travel  of  the  sort  that  I 
experienced  that  first  summer  has  given  me  an  in- 
satiable desire  to  go  back,"  he  says. 

And  he  had  learned  that  foreign  travel  is  not  that 
expensive,  especially  if  one  makes  friends  as  easily  as 
he  does.  His  formula  for  a  happy  vacation  on  a  low 
budget  is  given  later. 

Hardin  always  starts  his  travels  from  England.  One 


summer  he  went  on  to  Denmark,  Norway,  and  Swed- 
en. Another  summer  he  spent  in  Germany  and  Austria, 
where  he  visited  the  Tyrolean  Alps  and  took  a  trip  on 
the  Danube.  Another  year  he  spent  a  great  deal  of  his 
time  in  Yugoslavia.  Last  summer  he  stayed  in  Athens 
and  on  the  Greek  isle  of  Corfu,  and  then  went  back  to 
Yugoslavia. 

"Almost  every  place  that  I've  gone,"  Hardin  says, 
"my  reason  has  been  to  visit  someone  that  I  met  on 
earlier  travels — to  stay  on  a  farm  in  Austria,  to  visit  the 
family  of  a  young  scholar  I  met  in  Athens.  This  particu- 
lar young  man  told  me  that  if  I  would  come  to  visit  in 
their  home  near  Vienna  his  family  would  be  very  glad 
to  have  me,  and  they  did  subsequently  invite  me.  I 
stayed  more  than  a  week  in  Yugoslavia  with  brothers 
who  turned  out  to  be  three  of  the  outstanding  soccer 
players  of  Europe.  This  type  of  experience  to  me  is  won- 
derful. It  gives  you  great  perspective  in  your  own  life 
to  realize  how  people  are  all  over  the  world.  They're 
not  very  different.  There  are  friendly  people  every- 
where. It's  all  really  fascinating.  The  most  interesting 
part  of  travel,  once  you've  been  to  see  the  cathedrals 
and  museums,  is  to  visit  in  homes,  to  go  to  the  places 
the  natives  go  and  meet  their  friends,  and  do  simple 
things  of  life  together." 

As  a  teacher  of  English  literature,  and  as  a  devotee 
of  17th  century  literature,  Hardin  naturally  was  inclined 
to  make  his  journeys  a  sort  of  Uterary  pilgrimage.  He 
says  that  having  such  an  object  as  this  in  mind  is  a  great 
help,  particularly  to  a  person  traveling  alone. 

So,  to  aid  in  his  pilgrimage,  he  bought  a  book  en- 
titled Literature  and  Locality,  described  in  its  foreword 
as  a  "systematic  guide  to  literary  topography  of  the 
whole  of  Britain  and  Ireland." 

Hardin  says,  "I  keep  this  book  near  when  I  start 
traveling  around,  so  if  I  go  to  a  certain  town  I  can  al- 
ways look  it  up  in  the  index  and  make  certain  I  do 
not  miss  any  literary  associations  there  might  be  there. 

"I've  always  had  a  particular  interest  in  the  17th 
century.  George  Herbert  is  one  of  my  favorite  writers.  I 
knew  that  at  one  point  in  his  career  he  lived  in  a  small 
religious  community  at  a  place  called  Little  Gidding. 
This  religious  community  had  been  established  by  a 
man  named  Nicholas  Ferrar,  who  had  taken  over  j  an 
old  farm  and  there,  with  his  family,  had  built  a  small 
chapel  and  had  invited  various  people  to  come  there  for 
a  religious  retreat.  This  place  meant  a  great  deal  to 
Herbert  and  also  to  Crashaw,  and  I  had  a  desire  to 
visit  it.

"So  I  looked  up  the  location  in  this  book  and  found 
that  'about  six  miles  north  of  Huntingdon,  the  B660  road 
crosses  the  AI  (Great  North)  Road,  and  the  western 
arm  leads  to  Little  Gidding.' 

"I  started  out  with  a  cousin  to  see  if  we  could  locate 
it.  We  stopped  in  the  nearby  towns,  but  no  one  had  ever 
heard  of  Little  Gidding.  We  did  get  a  hint  when  some- 
one said  that  there  was  Great  Gidding  down  the  road, 
so  we  started  out  for  Great  Gidding.  Just  before  we  got 
to  it  we  saw  a  sign  which  said,  'Little  Gidding  Only' — 
that's  the  English  way  of  letting  you  know  that  it's  a 
deadend  road — and  we  turned  and  went  down  there. 
After  a  very  short  distance  we  came  to  the  deadend 
and  it  was  in  a  farm  yard.  We  were  practically  in  the 
man's  pigsty.  We  had  to  turn  the  car  around,  sort  of 
embarrassed  at  being  on  someone's  private  property, 
and  we  saw  the  farmer  feeding  his  pigs;  so,  in  an 
apologetic  way,  we  said,  'Sorry,  we're  looking  for  a 
place  called  Little  Gidding,  a  chapel.'  And  he  said, 
'There  it  is,  right  on  the  other  side  over  there.'  We 
looked  and  there,  in  the  near  distance,  was  a  beautiful 
little  chapel.  We  visited  this  chapel  that  had  meant  a 
great  deal  to  Herbert  and  Crashaw.  It  truly  is  a  beauti- 
ful  place. 

"When  I  got  back  to  London  I  opened  up  T.  S.  Eliot's 
Four  Quartets.  I  wanted  to  reread  the  section  called 
'Little  Gidding': 

If  you  came  this  way. 
Taking   the  route   you  would   be   likely   to  take 
From  the  place  you  would  be  likely  to  come  from. 
If  you  came  this  way  in  may  time,  you  would  find 
the  hedges 

White  again,  in  May,  with  voluptuary  sweetness. 
It  would  be  the  same  at  the  end  of  the  journey. 
If  you  came  at  night  like  a  broken  king, 
If  you  came  by  day  not  knowing  what  you  came  for. 
It  would  be  the  same,  when  you  leave  the  rough  road 
And  turn  behind  the  pig-sty  to  the  dull  facade 
And  the  tombstone.  And  what  you  thought  you  came 

for 
Is  only  a  shell,  a  husk  of  meaning 
From  which  the  purpose  breaks  only  when  it  is 

fulfilled 
If  at  all.   Either  you  had  no  purpose 
Or  the  purpose  is  beyond  the  end  you  figured 
And  is  altered  in  fulfilment.  There  are  other 

places 
Which   also   are   the   world's   end,    some   at   the    sea 

jaws, 
Or  over  a  dark   lake,   in   a   desert  or  a   city — 
But  this  is  the  nearest,   in  place   and  time, 
Now  and  in  England. 

"I  felt  that  we  had  had  exactly  the  same  experience. 
We  didn't  quite  know  where  we  were  going  and  in  fact 
didn't  know  how  to  find  it  and  just  ended  up  in  a  pigsty, 
and  it  was  the  very  same  experience. 


Literary   Experiences   Relived 

"This  sort  of  experience  is  repeated  over  and  over 
again.  It  might  be  a  visit  to  Keats'  home  in  Hampstead 
Heath,  where  you  can  just  look  out  the  window  and  see 
the  very  tree  that  held  the  birdsnest  that  inspired  'Ode 
to  a  Nightingale,'  or  perhaps  climb  up  on  the  walls  of 
Windsor  Castle  and  look  out  over  the  Thames  River  to 
the  playing  fields  of  Eton.  You  have  the  same  feeling 
that  Thomas  Gray  must  have  had  when  he  wrote  'Ode 
on  a  Distant  Prospect  of  Eton  College.' 

"One  summer  in  the  Lake  District  I  was  walking 
down  the  side  of  the  road.  The  landscape  was  too  beau- 
tiful for  riding.  I  felt  I  just  had  to  get  out  and  walk  and 
enjoy  the  beauty.  I  was  walking  beside  Esthwaite  Lake, 
right  outside  of  Grasmere,  and  I  saw  a  rock  by  the 
side  of  the  water,  and  I  decided  I  would  climb  up  on 
the  rock  and  sit  there  to  watch  the  sun  set.  While  I 
was  sitting  there  I  noticed  a  small  metal  plaque  on  the 
side  of  the  rock.  It  stated,  'Here  Wordsworth  sat  many 
hours  at  the  close  of  the  day  and  meditated.' 

"You  have  the  impression  that  perhaps  you  are  re- 
living some  of  the  experiences  of  the  writers  you've 
always  appreciated  and  loved.  You  can  follow  these 
people,  go  as  far  as  the  Hebrides  and  experience  the 
travels  that  Boswell  and  Johnson  had.  You  can  certain- 
ly relive  some  of  Robert  Burns  when  you  visit  a  place 
like  Tam  O'Shanter's  Inn  and  go  on  down  by  the  auld 
haunted  kirk  and  take  a  look  at  the  auld  Brig  O'Doon. 
You  might  envision  Tam  O'Shanter's  ride,  particularly 
on  a  stormy,  windy  night. 

"You  can  go  places  where  the  English  writers  lived 
on  the  Continent.  Surely  you  are  very  close  to  Keats 
when  you  visit  his  apartment  at  the  side  of  the  Span- 
ish Steps  in  Rome.  Back  in  Britain  you  can  visit  Shrop- 
shire, and  look  across  the  fields  that  Housman  loved.  Al- 
most any  place  you  stop  you  can  relive  in  imagination 
some  of  the  experiences  of  the  great  writers.  The  words 
that  you  read  later  become  entirely  fresh  when  in  your 
imagination  you  recall  the  places  described.  You 
think  of  someone  like  Carlyle,  who  would  sit  in  his  room 
in  Chelsea— it  was  lined  with  cork,  you  know,  to  keep  it 
perfectly  quiet  so  he  couldn't  hear  the  rumbling  of  the 
carts  on  the  cobbled  streets  of  the  city.  Or  you  can 
climb  up  to  the  top  floor  of  Samuel  Johnson's  house  on 
Fleet  Street  in  London,  to  the  garret,  as  he  called  it, 
where  he  put  together  the  first  great  English  dictionary. 
You  might  visit  some  inn  or  tavern  where  some  great 
person  frequently  visited.  Or  perhaps  make  a  visit  to 
the  Great  Hall  at  Hampton  Court  Palace,  where  Shake- 
speare was  supposed  to  have  acted  in  plays.  Or  stay  in 
some  place  like  the  Falcon  Inn,  right  across  from  New 
Place  in  Stratford.  The  Falcon  was  there  during  Shake- 
speare's time,  and  you  can  look  at  it,  realizing  that  this 
is  the  same  view  that  Shakespeare  had  every  morning 
when  he  first  opened  his  curtains  and  looked  out  across 
the  street.

"You  have  the  impression  that 

perhaps  you  are  reliving  some  of  the 

experiences  of  the  writers  you've 

always  appreciated  and  loved." 


"Whenever  we  read  anything  we  form  our  idea  of  the 
appearance  of  the  places  described,  and  some  of  these 
impressions  are  entirely  inaccurate.  I  have  changed  many 
of  my  ideas.  Robert  Herrick  writes  about  'loathed 
Devonshire.'  You  know  that  he  couldn't  have  been  com- 
pletely unhappy  with  the  countryside — it's  too  beautiful — 
he  was  simply  unhappy  with  living  in  a  rural  atmos- 
phere when  he  preferred  to  be  back  in  London.  So  now 
when  I  read  of  Herrick  I  picture  the  spot  where  he 
lived,  the  handsome  rectory,  a  rather  palatial  place  for 
a  minister  to  live.  He  was  actually  rather  happy  in  Devon 
even  though  he  did  miss  London,  but  you  do  feel  very, 
very  remote  from  London  when  you're  in  Devon." 

Lectures   Natives  on   Homeland 

However  much  he  enjoys  being  a  traveler,  Hardin 
still  is  first  a  teacher,  and  he  has  sometimes  taken  ad- 
vantage of  various  situations  to  combine  the  two  ex- 
periences: "I've  frequently  given  some  impromptu  lec- 
tures," he  says.  "I  did  last  summer  at  the  Protestant 


Looking  every  bit  the  disting^uished,  stately 
Briton,  Hardin  dons  finery  to  attend  English 
wedding   of   Millsaps    alumnus. 


Cemetery  in  Rome  where  Keats  and  Shelley  are  buried. 
A  couple  of  American  soldiers  there  seemed  rather  in- 
terested in  what  I  had  to  tell  them.  And  some  time  ago 
I  was  at  Grasmere  looking  at  the  Wordsworth  family 
graves.  There  are  several  William  Wordsworths  buried 
in  a  row  there,  and  it's  very  confusing.  But  knowing  the 
death  date  of  William  Wordsworth,  I  had  figured  out 
which  grave  belonged  to  the  poet.  As  I  was  leaving  I  saw 
a  group  of  English  tourists  walking  in,  so  I  followed 
them  and  listened  to  their  comments.  They  couldn't  fig- 
ure it  out  at  all,  so  I  explained  it  to  them,  and  they 
were  very  interested.  I  found  that  I  enjoyed  that  little 
teaching  experience,  and  I  found  myself  for  the  next 
some  time  following  groups  going  in  so  that  I  could  lec- 
ture on  the  location  of  the  graves  in  that  cemetery." 

He  is  also  very  much  the  admissions  director  of 
Millsaps  College  on  his  travels.  At  least  one  foreign  stu- 
dent is  enrolled  this  year  because  of  Hardin.  He  thinks 
enrolling  foreign  students  is  mutually  advantageous  to 
foreigners  and  to  Millsaps.  "I  know  what  foreign  travel 
has  meant  to  me,"  he  says,  "and  how  much  perspective 
it  has  given  in  understanding  people." 

Hardin   Formula   for  Travel 

Hardin's  formula  for  happy  travel  consists  mainly 
of  not  acting  like  a  tourist.  "I  avoid  the  big  American 
Hilton-type  hotels  throughout  Europe,"  he  explains.  "I 
think  staying  there  is  a  great  mistake  for  a  person  who 
has  to  watch  his  money  very  carefully.  I  believe  you 
should  travel  as  the  people  of  that  country  travel,  and 
stay  in  the  same  hotels  in  which  they  stay.  I've  been  in 
places  like  Cannes,  on  the  French  Riviera,  where  it's 
rather  expensive,  and  people  told  me,  'Oh,  you  can't  af- 
ford that,'  but  you  can  if  you  go  back  from  the  beach 
a  block  or  two  and  stay  in  the  hotels  where  the  French 
stay.  There  was  a  convention  of  filling  station  operators 
in  the  hotel  where  I  had  accommodations;  there 
weren't  any  Americans.  It  is  a  dreadful  error,  I  think,  to 
stay  in  the  great  American  hotels.  You're  not  going 
to  stay  in  a  hotel  room  much  anyway,  if  you  travel  as 
I  do.  Occasionally  I  take  time  out  for  a  very  fine  meal, 
but  this  sort  of  thing  takes  up  too  much  of  yoiu"  travel 
time — and  money. 

"Traveling  on  buses  and  streetcars  is  a  wonderful 
way  of  meeting  people,  and  standing  in  lines  waiting  for 
something.  The  London  Underground  is  a  great  educa- 
tion. I've  never  made  reservations  anywhere  and  yet 
I've  never  had  any  trouble  finding  a  place  to  stay.  I 
never  get  theatre  tickets  ahead  of  time.  I  never  have  my 
plans  ironed  down  so  that  I  can't  go  anywhere  else  I 
might  enjoy." 

Next  summer,  at  the  invitation  of  an  Englishman 
who  lives  in  Nairobi,  Mr.  Hardin  will  be  off  to  Kenya 
to  shoot  (with  a  camera)  wild  animals.  After  that,  who 
knows  ?

FORD    MONEY   RECEIVED 

A  total  of  $327,245  has  been  re- 
ceived from  the  Ford  Foundation  on 
the  basis  of  matching  funds  raised 
during  the  first  report  period,  which 
ended  June  30,  1967. 

The  Ford  payment  matches  only 
$818,133  of  the  money  raised  in  the 
"Toward  A  Destiny  of  Excellence" 
program.  As  of  June  30  a  total  of 
$1,579,252  was  on  the  books,  but  about 
half  of  it  was  not  submitted  this  year 
because  of  Foundation  and  Internal 
Revenue  regulations.  The  balance, 
however,  will  be  eligible  for  a  grant 
equal  to  40%  of  its  value  in  the  fu- 
ture, officials  stated. 

The  total  amount  pledged  in  the 
campaign  had  passed  the  $3  million 
mark  by  the  end  of  the  year.  Some 
$750,000  remains  to  be  secured  by 
June  30,  1969,  in  order  to  assure  Mill- 
saps  the  entire  $1.5  million  offered  by 
the    Ford   Foundation. 

With  the  40%  guaranteed  by  the 
grant,  the  $3  million  already  raised 
assures  the  college  of  $4,200,000  in 
cash,  pledges,  property,  and  securi- 
ties to  be  used  in  developing  the  Mis- 
sissippi school  as  a  regional  center 
of  excellence. 

The  $1.5  million  grant  was  offered 
to  Millsaps  in  1966  as  a  part  of  the 
Foundation's  challenge  grant  pro- 
gram. Millsaps  must  raised  two  and 
a  half  times  the  amount,  or  $3.75 
million,  by  June  30,  1969,  to  receive 
the  full  amount.  The  "Toward  A  Des- 
tiny of  Excellence"  campaign  to  pro- 
vide the  matching  funds  was  official- 
ly launched  last  February. 

The  Foundation  advanced  Millsaps 
$250,000  of  the  grant  in  the  fall  of 
1966.  With  the  help  of  the  advance, 
during  the  first  year  Millsaps  has 
made  progress  toward  the  achieve- 
ment of  goals  stated  to  the  Founda- 
tion, which  included  strengthening  the 
academic  program  by  raising  faculty 
salaries,  providing  additional  student 
aid,  and  increasing  library  holdings; 
and  building  an  academic  complex  to 
house  a  lecture  center,  a  fine  arts 
center,  and  library  expansion. 

In  a  report  to  the   Foundation,   of- 


ficials said  that  part  of  the  advance 
was  allocated  to  the  improvement  of 
the  instructional  program,  including 
a  general  increase  in  faculty  salaries 
on  a  fixed  scale  based  on  level  of 
academic  training,  tenure  status,  and 
length  of  service  to  Millsaps;  for  re- 
placing obsolete  electronic  equipment 
in  the  language  laboratories;  and  to 
the  purchase  of  new  laboratory  equip- 
ment for  the  Department  of  Econom- 
ics and  Business  Administration. 

Another  amount  was  directed  to- 
ward library  improvement.  Salaries 
were  raised  and  an  additional  librari- 
an was  added.  The  improvements  al- 
so included  the  purchase  of  shelving 
and  stacks  as  well  as  books  and  re- 
lated materials. 

A  large  amount  of  the  money  was 
allocated  for  student  aid. 

The  President's  Contingency  Fund 
was  used  to  employ  an  assistant  to 
the  school's  business  manager  and  to 
supplement  resources  in  the  further 
development  of  a  data  processing  of- 
fice. 

Another  small  amount  was  used  to 
renovate  Founders  Hall  for  use  as  an 
office  and  classroom  building. 

Since  the  beginning  of  the  second 
year,  and  thus  not  included  in  the 
report  to  the  Foundation,  major  ren- 
ovations have  been  begun  in  the  Chris- 
tian Center,  which  will  continue  to 
house  the  drama  program  because  of 
its  large  auditorium.  The  new  con- 
struction includes  improving  the 
drama  facilities,  air  conditioning  the 
entire  building,  and  adding  class- 
rooms  and  seminar  rooms. 

SLIDES   GIVEN   TO   DRIVE 

A  set  of  some  1,000  microscopic 
slides,  representing  more  than  ten 
years  of  work  and  of  inestimable  val- 
ue, has  been  given  as  a  contribution 
to  the  "Toward  A  Destiny  of  Excel- 
lence" program. 

Dr.  and  Mrs.  James  Perry  have  do- 
nated their  research  slides  for  use  in 
the  teaching  program.  Dr.  Perry  has 
been  a  member  of  the  biology  faculty 
at  Millsaps  since  1964  and  Mrs.  Perry 
serves  as  his  research  associate. 


A  biological  supplies  firm  will  make 
a  monetary  evaluation  of  the  slides  to 
determine  the  amount  which  may  be 
reported  to  the  Ford  Foundation  for 
matching  purposes.  Until  July,  1969, 
the  Foundation  will  increase  gifts  to 
Millsaps  by  40'rc  as  a  part  of  its  chal- 
lenge  grant   program. 

Officials  have  said,  however,  that  a 
monetary  value  cannot  begin  to  rep- 
resent the  true  worth  of  the  slides. 
"These  slides  are  really  priceless," 
says  James  McKeown,  acting  chair- 
man of  the  Biology  Department. 
"Each  is  hand  made  with  care  and 
attention.  Mrs.  Perry  has  spent  as 
much  as  half  a  day  perfecting  one 
slide." 

Most  of  the  slides  illustrate  research 
on  the  disease  polyarteritis  nodosa, 
on  which  Dr.  Perry  is  the  leading  au- 
thority. The  disease  is  one  which 
causes  inflamation  and  swelling  of 
the  arteries.  In  extreme  cases  it  can 
cause  death. 

The  fact  that  most  of  the  slides 
show  disease  reaction  increases  their 
value,  since  supply  houses  generally 
offer  only  slides  of  healthy  tissues.  A 
«lide  showing  an  effect  of  the  disease 
polyarteritis  nodosa  would  be  virtual- 
ly impossible   to   purchase. 

"The  students  will  be  able  to  see 
changes  in  glands  caused  by  disease," 
says  Dr.  Perry.  "They  will  be  able 
to  see  the  effects  of  malignant 
growths  and  to  learn  what  a  malig- 
nant growth  looks  like  under  a  micro- 
scope, as  well  as  other  pathological 
changes.  The  slides  will  help  students 
realize  that  abnormalities  in  glands 
are  not  necessarily  cancerous." 

Mrs.  Perry  has  made  almost  all  of 
the  slides  in  the  collection.  She  uses 
specialized  stains  for  different  stud- 
ies, to  bring  out  different  things.  The 
slides  will  last  indefinitely,  she  says. 

Each  slide  is  a  product  of  a  process 
in  which  the  tissue  is  put  into  various 
solutions,  encased  in  paraffin,  cut, 
put  onto  slides,  and  stained.  The 
staining  itself  is  a  30-mlnute  process 
involving  putting  the  mounted  tissue 
through  18  different  solutions  and  tim- 
ing each  step.

The  Millsaps  study  of  polyarteritis 
nodosa,  which  has  been  underway 
since  Dr.  Perry  joined  the  faculty,  is 
continuing  this  year.  Additional  slides 
made  in  the  study  will  also  be  given 
to  Millsaps. 

Dr.  Perry  is  a  graduate  of  St.  Louis 
University.  He  also  earned  his  Mas- 
ter's degree  there  and  received  his 
Ph.D.  from  the  University  of  Cincin- 
nati. He  taught  at  Marquette  Univer- 
sity for  22  years  and  has  also  taught 
at  Rockhurst  College  and  Xavier  Uni- 
versity. Mrs.  Perry  is  also  a  gradu- 
ate of  St.  Louis  University. 

SINGLETARY   IS   ALUM    OF    YEAR 

Otis  A.  Singletary,  one  of  the  na- 
tion's top  educators,  was  named 
Alumnus  of  the  Year  for  1967  during 
Homecoming  in  October. 

Dr.  Singletary,  who  is  vice  president 
of  the  American  Council  on  Educa- 
tion, was  cited  as  the  alumnus  who 
has  made  the  most  outstanding  con- 
tribution to  community,  church,  and 
college  during  the  past  year.  He  was 
chosen  from  nominees  named  in  open 
nominations. 

Dr.  Singletary  was  the  first  direc- 
tor of  the  Job  Corps  and  was  chan- 
cellor at  the  University  of  North 
Carolina  at  Greensboro  before  ac- 
cepting his  present  position. 


At  the  Homecoming  banquet  he 
was  presented  a  certificate  of  appre- 
ciation after  a  citation  detailing  his 
contributions  was  read  by  Mark  Ma- 
theny,  president  of  the  student  body. 
He  was  honored  at  an  informal  re- 
ception immediately  following  the 
banquet.  His  name  will  be  added  to 
a  permanent  plaque  displayed  in  the 
Student    Center. 

A  native  of  Gulfport,  Mississippi, 
Dr.  Singletary  is  married  to  the  for- 
mer Gloria  Walton,  of  Pascagoula, 
Mississippi,  who  was  a  member  of 
the  Millsaps  Class  of  '48. 

Dr.  Singletary  graduated  from  Mill- 
saps in  1947.  He  served  in  the  Navy 
from  1943  to  1946,  connpleting  require- 
ments for  his  degree  after  his  return. 
He  earned  a  Master  of  Arts  degree 
at  Louisiana  State  University  in  1949 
and  his  Doctor  of  Philosophy  degree 
at  LSU  in  1954,  taking  time  out  dur- 
ing this  period  for  service  during  the 
Korean  Conflict. 

He  joined  the  history  staff  at  the 
University  of  Texas  in  1954.  He  also 
served  as  director  of  the  Special  Pro- 
grams Division  of  the  College  of  Arts 
and  Science,  then  associate  dean  of 
the  College  of  Arts  and  Science,  and 
finally  professor  of  history  and  as- 
sistant to  the  president.  In  1956  and 
1957  he   was    selected  to   receive   the

Otis  Singletary,  center.  Class  of  1947,  was  named  the  top  alumnus  of 
1967.  With  him  are  President  Benjamin  B.  Graves,  left,  and  Alumni  Associa- 
tion President  Eugene  Countiss,  of  New  Orleans. 


University  Student  Association's 
Teaching  Excellence  Award,  and  the 
next  year  he  was  given  the  Scar- 
borough Teaching  Excellence  Award. 

In  1955  he  received  the  Moncado 
Book  Award  for  his  dissertation,  "The 
Negro  Militia  Movement  During  Rad- 
ical Reconstruction."  In  1957  the 
University  of  Texas  published  the 
manuscript  under  the  title  Negro  Mi- 
litia and  Reconstruction.  He  is  also 
the  author  of  The  Mexican  War  and 
has  contributed  to  the  Louisiana  His- 
torical Quarterly,  the  Southwestern 
Historical  Quarterly,  and  the  Texas 
Quarterly.  He  was  associate  editor  of 
the  Southwestern  Historical  Quarter- 
ly. 

Among  his  other  duties  at  Texas, 
he  served  as  regional  chairman  for 
Louisiana  and  Texas  for  the  Wood- 
row  Wilson  National  Fellowship  Foun- 
dation. For  three  years  he  was  a 
member  of  the  Administrative  Com- 
mittee of  the  Southern  Fellowship 
Fund.  He  was  director  of  the  Uni- 
versity's Superior  Student  Program. 

In  1961  Dr.  Singletary  was  chosen 
by  the  Carnegie  Corporation  of  New 
York  as  a  recipient  of  a  Carnegie  Ad- 
ministrator Grant.  He  traveled 
throughout  the  United  States  for  an 
academic  semester,  studying  various 
college  administrations. 

In  April  of  1961  he  was  invited  by 
the  University  of  North  Carolina  to 
accept  the  chancellorship  of  the  Wom- 
an's College  at  Greensboro.  During 
his  five-year  administration  the  school 
was  changed  in  status  from  a  college 
for  women  to  a  coeducational  insti- 
tution, enrollment  was  increased  by 
65%,  and  admission  standards  were 
raised. 

When  President  Johnson  inaugurat- 
ed his  antipoverty  program  in  1964 
he  asked  Dr.  Singletary  to  become 
the  first  director  of  the  Job  Corps.  He 
was  given  a  leave  of  absence  by  the 
University  to  accept  the  appointment. 

After  a  year  with  the  Job  Corps  he 
returned  to  his  job  at  North  Carolina, 
but  in  1965  he  resigned  to  become 
vice  president  of  the  American  Coun- 
cil on  Education. 

He  has  been  a  member  of  a  number 
of  professional  and  civic  organiEations. 
He  is  a  member  of  Pi  Kappa  Alpha 
fraternity. 

Dr.  and  Mrs.  Singletary  have  three 
children.  The  family  now  resides  in 
McLean,  Virginia. 

SCHOLARSHIP   AID   IS   HIGH 

The  largest  scholarship  and  loan 
program  ever  undertaken  at  Millsaps, 
both  in  terms  of  amount  of  money  and 


17 


percentage  of  participation,  is  in  ef- 
fect this  year,  according  to  Jaclc 
Woodward,  director. 

Mr.  Woodward,  wiio  is  cliairman  of 
the  faculty  Awards  Committee,  said 
$438,733  in  scholarships  and  loans  has 
been  awarded  to  date  this  year.  About 
59%  of  the  student  body  receives  fi- 
nancial aid  of  some  form.  An  esti- 
mated 55%  work  to  help  defray  ex- 
penses. 

The  increase  in  the  student  aid  pro- 
gram is  one  project  of  the  Ford 
Foundation  grant  and  the  "Toward  A 
Destiny  of  Excellence"  campaign. 
Some  $60,000  has  already  been  ap- 
plied to  the  program. 

A  total  of  384  scholarships  have 
been  awarded  for  the  1967-68  session 
thus  far.  Forty-one  per  cent  of  the 
student  body  shares  in  the  scholar- 
ship program,  which  totals  $237,945. 
The  awards  range  from  $25  to  $1,500 
per  year. 

In  the  loan  program  290  loans  to- 
taling $200,788  were  granted.  Thirty- 
two  per  cent  of  the  student  body  have 
received  loans  through  the  College 
from  the  National  Defense  Education 
Act,  the  United  Student  Aid  Fund,  and 
the  Methodist  Student  Loan.  Loans 
range  from  $50  to  $1,000  per  year. 

.A.ccording  to  Mr.  Woodward,  20%  of 
the  students  work  on  the  campus  and 
an  estimated  35%  work  off  the  camp- 
us. The  on-campus  figures  include 
students  who  are  participating  in  the 
federal   work-study   program. 

Mr.  Woodward  said  no  student  who 
meets  admission  requirements  is  de- 
nied admission  to  Millsaps  because 
of  inability  to  pay.  The  amount  of  aid 
a  student  receives  depends  on  the 
ability  of  his  parents  to  contribute  to 
his  expenses. 

The  scholarships  include  grants  to 
Methodist  ministerial  students  and  to 
children  of  ministers  in  the  two  Meth- 
odist Conferences  in  Mississippi. 

MILLSAPS  STUDENTS  SHOW  WELL 

Five  Millsaps  students  went  off  to 
summer  school  at  Harvard,  Yale, 
and  Columbia  last  summer,  and 
racked  up  some  of  the  highest  grades 
in  their  courses. 

Four  of  the  five  students  were  chos- 
en to  participate  in  the  Harvard-Yale- 
Columbia  Intensive  Summer  Studies 
Program  under  full  scholarships  val- 
ued at  some  $2,000.  The  fifth  received 
a  Washington  Semester  scholarship 
for  a  summer  of  study  at  Harvard. 

Included  in  the  first  four  were  Lan- 
ny  Carlson,  of  Groves,  Texas,  Gary 
Carson,  of  Biloxi,  Mississippi,  Charles 
Swoope,  of  Newton,  Mississippi,  and 
James    Woods,    of    Jackson.    All    are 


Perrys  Contribute  Slides 


Some  1,000  microscopic  slides  were  given  to  the  "Destiny  of 
Excellence"  drive  by  Dr.  and  Mrs.  James  Perry.  Dr.  Perry  is 
professor  of  biology  and  Mrs.  Perry  is  his  research  associate. 


seniors  this  year  except  Woods,  who 
is  a  junior.  Their  scholarships  cov- 
ered room,  board,  tuition,  travel,  and 
a  living  expense  allowance  as  well  as 
a  grant  in  lieu  of  summer  earnings 
to  help  cover  costs  this  fall. 

The  fifth  was  Henry  Chatham,  of 
Meridian,  Mississippi,  a  senior.  He 
was  one  of  two  persons  from  200  eligi- 
ble chosen  for  a  scholarship. 

Although  Millsaps  was  probably  one 
of  the  strongest  schools  represented 
in  the  program,  the  Millsaps  students 
still  acquitted  themselves  quite  well  in 
study  on  the  Harvard-Yale-Columbia 
level. 

Said  one  of  the  participants,  "I  re- 
turned to  Millsaps  confident  that  I 
was  receiving  a  finer  education  than 
the  students  from  the  fifty  other 
Southern  colleges  represented." 

Lest  anyone  think  he  was  stricken 
by  a  strong  attack  of  school  spirit-itis, 
he  hastened  to  add  that  his  feeling 
was  "a  quiet  conviction  that  Millsaps 
was  accomplishing  her  purpose  in  de- 
manding from  her  students  the  disci- 
pline, intellectual  aggressiveness,  and 
maturity  that  she  does." 

Another  of  the  participants  received 
a  letter  from  his  Yale  professor  which 
said  in  part,  "You  were  obviously  one 
of  the  best  trained  students  in  either 
class,  familiar  with  a  great  variety  of 
critical  techniques  and  widely  read. 
.    .    .Your   critical   writing   was   prob- 


ably the  best  in  either  class.  .  .  ." 

Chatham  said  of  his  experience 
"Harvard,  of  course,  has  good  teach 
ers,  and  the  competition  for  grades  i: 
the  keenest  in  the  nation.  The  pro 
fessors  had  written  many  of  the  texti 
used  by  Millsaps  students. 

"But  I  left  convinced  that  most  Mill 
saps  teachers,  despite  the  impressiv( 
credentials  of  Harvard  profs,  wen 
more  successful  in  their  chosen  pro 
fession.  I  felt  that  our  teachers  did  a; 
well  or  better  than  the  Harvard  prof; 
in  actually  teaching  their  students. 

"I  can  attribute  it  only  to  a  stronj 
sense  of  dedication  on  the  part  o 
the  Millsaps  teacher." 

The  idea  behind  Chatham's  scholar 
ship  was  to  allow  students  the  oppor 
tunity  of  taking  courses  which  migh 
not  be  available  to  them  at  theii 
home  schools  and  of  studying  undei 
teachers  of  national  renown. 

Chatham  took  two  courses  in  socia 
relations,  "Psychology  of  Religion' 
and  "Social  Structure  of  the  Sovie 
Union,"  and  audited  an  economic: 
course.  He  earned  a  B-plus  and  ai 
A-minus.  Harvard  did  not  includi 
grade  distribution  charts  with  tran 
scripts. 

Carlson,  Carson,  and  Swoope  wen 
among  75  participants  selected  to  at 
tend  Yale  out  of  650  interviewed

cation  and  ethics  and  wrote  a  direct- 
ed study  paper  entitled  "Humanistic 
Sociology."  He  was  the  only  student 
out  of  eleven  scoring  in  the  95-100  (A) 
ranking  in  social  stratification  and 
lacked  one  point  being  in  the  "excel- 
lent"  category   in   ethics. 

Both  Carson  and  Swoope  took 
courses  entitled  "The  Practice  and 
Criticism  of  Fiction"  and  "Amer- 
ican Literature,  1865-1914."  Out  of  65 
grades  given  in  English  courses,  four 
of  the  five  A's  awarded  were  earned 
by  Carson  and  Swoope. 

The  participants  at  Yale  also  wrote 
lengthy  directed-study  papers  under 
the  close  supervision  of  a  Yale  pro- 
fessor and  a  graduate  tutor.  Swoope 
earned  an  A-minus  on  his  paper  and 
was  one  of  two  in  the  class  in  the  top 
category.  Carson,  with  87,  was  the  on- 
ly student  scoring  in  the  B-plus  cate- 
gory. The  Millsaps  students  took  two 
of  the  top  three  grades  on  the  di- 
rected study  papers. 

Woods,  the  only  student  to  attend 
Columbia,  took  courses  in  history  and 
comparative  literature,  earning  an  A 
and  an  A-minus.  Columbia,  like 
Harvard,  did  not  distribute  the 
grades. 

The  Intensive  Summer  Studies  Pro- 
gram provides  an  opportunity  for  stu- 
dents to  pursue  a  special  course  of 
study  designed  to  prepare  them  more 
fully  for  graduate  study.  Side  bene- 
fits include  the  fact  that  participants 
will  receive  top  priority  in  considera- 
tion for  acceptance  by  and  for  schol- 
arships to  graduate  schools. 

Carlson  is  a  preministerial  student 
majoring  in  sociology.  Carson  and 
Swoope  are  English  majors  planning 
to  teach.  Chatham  is  a  political  sci- 
ence major  interested  in  law.  Woods 
is  a  history  major. 

They  were  not  the  only  Millsaps 
students  who  attended  the  Eastern 
schools,  but  they  were  the  only  partici- 
pants in  the  special  programs.  A  stu- 
dent from  another  school  who  partici- 
pated in  the  Intensive  Summer  Stud- 
ies Program  has  transferred  to  Mill- 
saps this  year. 

PROF  WRITES   BOOK 

A  definitive  portrayal  of  Mississippi 
during  the  first  two  years  after  the 
Civil  War  is  made  in  a  book  fresh 
from  the  press  written  by  a  Millsaps 
College  professor. 

Presidential  Reconstruction  in  Mis- 
sissippi, by  Dr.  William  C.  Harris, 
associate  professor  of  history  at  Mill- 
saps, is  a  handsome,  279-page  volume 
which  is  selling  in  bookstores  for  $8. 

Published    by    the    Louisiana    State 


University  Press,  the  book  is  a  study 
of  the  political,  psychological,  and 
physical  effects  of  the  Civil  War  and 
its  aftermath  on  the  state  and  its  peo- 
ple. 

The  volume  is  the  third  by  persons 
connected  with  Millsaps  to  be  pub- 
lished in  recent  months.  Two  alumni 
are  also  authors  of  new  books,  one  a 
novel  and  one  a  biography  for  teen- 
agers. Nash  Burger  is  the  author  of 
A  Confederate  Spy:  Rose  O'Neal 
Greenhow,  and  Dr.  Roy  C.  De- 
Lamotte  has  written  The  Valley  of 
Time.  During  the  summer  books  by 
alumnus  Paul  Ramsey,  Who  Speaks 
for  the  Church  and  Deeds  and  Rules 
in  Christian  Ethics,  were  published. 

Harris'  book  is  the  first  devoted  ex- 
clusively to  Presidential  Reconstruc- 
tion in  a  Southern  state.  Most  his- 
torical accounts  pass  over  the  two- 
year  period  immediately  after  the  war 
with  a  few  general  comments,  con- 
centrate instead  on  the  struggle  be- 
tween President  Andrew  Johnson  and 
Congress,  and  then  move  on  to  Con- 
gressional or  Radical  Reconstruction. 

Harris  said  he  chose  Mississippi  for 
his  study  because  "in  some  ways  its 
characteristics  and  experiences  were 
an  extreme  form  of  those  common  to 
other   states   of  the  region." 

He  explained,  "Mississippi  experi- 
enced a  great  deal  of  physical  de- 
struction during  the  Civil  War;  it  was 
partially  occupied  by  Federal  troops 
for  an  extended  period  of  time;  it 
had  been  the  largest  cotton  producing 
state  in  1860;  it  depended  upon  Negro 
labor  more  than  any  other  state  ex- 
cept perhaps  South  Carolina;  it  had 
an  influential  and  vocal  group  that 
had  opposed  the  policies  of  the  domi- 
nant party  before  1865  and  was 
anxious  to  challenge  the  acts  of  the 
past  two  decades;  it  was  the  first 
state  to  hold  a  reconstruction  conven- 
tion under  the  Presidential  plan  of  re- 
construction; and  it  was  the  first 
state  to  attempt  to  define  the  place 
of  the  Negro  in  its  postwar  society." 

President  Johnson's  moderate  plan 
for  reconstruction  allowed  the  old 
electorate  to  continue  to  direct  the 
political  activities  of  the  states.  When 
miUtary  rule  was  reimposed  upon  the 
South,  less  latitude  was  available  for 
local  decisions  and  for  the  candid  ex- 
pression by  Southerners  of  attitudes 
and  opinions  regarding  the  postwar 
settlement. 

Dr.  Harris  has  been  a  member  of 
the  Millsaps  faculty  since  1963.  He  re- 
ceived his  Bachelor  of  Arts,  Master  of 
Arts,  and  Ph.D.  degrees  from  the  Uni- 
versity of  Alabama.

SINGERS   MAKE    RECORDINGS 

A  recording  of  the  Millsaps  Singers' 
performance  of  the  Mozart  Vesperae 
Sollennes  de  Confessore  with  the  Chi- 
cago Chamber  Orchestra  and  a  re- 
cording of  the  Troubadours'  Carib- 
bean tour  program  have  been  re- 
leased by  the  Department  of  Music. 

The  60-voice  Concert  Choir,  directed 
by  Leland  Byler,  performed  the 
Mozart  vesper  with  the  Chicago 
Chamber  Orchestra  last  spring  when 
the  famed  orchestra  presented  a  con- 
cert on  the  campus. 

The  Troubadours'  album,  "Trouba- 
dours in  the  Tropics,"  features  the 
music  performed  by  the  12-member 
ensemble  on  a  tour  of  military  instal- 
lations in  the  Caribbean  Command 
last  summer.  The  Tour  was  made  un- 
der the  auspices  of  the  USO-Depart- 
ment  of  Defense.  The  Troubadours, 
whose  main  reason  for  being  is  en- 
tertainment, perform  Broadway  show 
music,  folk  songs,  and  other  popular 
music. 

Members  of  the  Troubadours  are 
also  members  of  the  Concert  Choir. 
Leland  Byler  also  directs  the  ensem- 
ble. 

Both  new  albums  are  on  sale  at 
Millsaps  in  the  Music  Hall  and  the 
Public  Relations  Office.  Mail  orders 
will  be  sent  postpaid  at  no  extra 
charge.  Each  album  is  $4  and  is 
available  in  stereo. 

DEW   NAMED    FUND   CHAIRMAN 

Kenneth  Dew,  of  Jackson,  has  been 
appointed  chairman  of  the  1967-68 
Alumni  Fund. 

Mr.  Dew  will  direct  efforts  to  reach 
a  goal  of  $70,000  set  for  the  1967-68 
drive,  which  will  end  June  30,  1968. 
Participation  by  3,000  alumni  has 
been  set  as  the  minimum  for  the  year. 

Last  year,  under  the  leadership  of 
Foster  Collins,  of  Jackson,  a  total  of 
$59,781  was  given  through  the  Alumni 
Fund.  The  amount  will  guarantee  an 
additonal  40%  from  the  Ford  Founda- 
tion as  a  part  of  its  $1.5  million  grant. 

During  the  past  year  2,591  persons 
contributed  to  the  Alumni  Fund,  rep- 
resenting an  increase  in  participation 
from  19%  the  previous  year  to  30% 
last  year. 

Mr.  Dew  is  a  1957  graduate  of  Mill- 
saps. He  is  vice  president  in  charge 
of  advertising  at  Deposit  Guaranty 
National  Bank. 

He  has  been  active  in  a  number  of 
charitable  drives  and  is  a  member  of 
Civitan,  serving  last  year  as  secre- 
tary of  the  Mississippi  District  of 
Civitan  International.

When  Giving  Can  Save  .

Assistant  Director  of  Development 


Tax  Advantages  of  An  Irrevocable  Living  Trust 


Past  issues  of  Major  Notes  have  carried  some 
very  interesting  articles  written  by  Barry  Brindley, 
Assistant  to  the  President,  pointing  out  ways  that 
prospective  donors  may  contribute  to  Millsaps  College. 

Probably  one  of  the  most  profitable  methods  in 
relation  to  tax  advantages  is  through  the  utilization 
of  a  legal  instrument  called  a  trust.  A  trust  is  defined 
by  Black's  Law  Dictionary  as  being  a  confidence 
reposed  in  one  person,  who  is  termed  trustee,  for  the 
benefit  of  another,  who  is  called  cestui  que  trust,  re- 
specting property  held  by  the  trustee  for  the  benefit 
of  the  cestui  que  trust. 

In  the  following  paragraphs  I  would  like  to  share 
with  you  some  illustrations  of  profitable  giving 
through  the  use  of  a  trust.   For  example: 

Mr.  Smith  would  like  to  make  a  contribution  to 
Millsaps  College,  but  he  does  not  wish  to  reduce  his 
income  from  his  investments.  One  feasible  plan  for 
Mr.  Smith  to  pursue  would  be  to  put  some  of  his 
investments  in  an  irrevocable  living  trust  with  all 
the  income  payable  to  himself  for  life.  At  his  death, 
the  principal  would  then  go  to  Millsaps.  What  tax 
advantages  would  this  arrangement  have  for  Mr. 
Smith?  First  of  all,  let  us  assume  that  Mr.  Smith  is 
fifty-five  years  old.  He  wants  to  deposit  $25,000  in  this 
trust  fund  to  begin  with  and  intends  to  increase  the 
fund  each  year  thereafter. 

Section  20.2031-7  of  the  Federal  Estate  Tax  Regu- 
lations provides  a  table  showing  the  present  worth 
of  a  life  interest  and  a  remainder  interest  in  each 
$1.00,  based  on  the  age  of  the  tenant.  This  table  must 
be  consulted  to  complete  the  exact  amount  of  educa- 
tional gifts  under  a  trust  agreement  like  the  one  pre- 
sumed in  this  example.  In  Mr.  Smith's  case  the  educa- 
tional gift  considered  the  first  year  would  be  54  cents 
(present  value  of  $1.00  at  the  death  of  a  person  now 
age  fifty-five)  times  $25,000,  or  $13,500.  This  $13,500 
is  deductible  on  Mr.  Smith's  income  tax  return  up  to 
the  amount  allowed  by  the  Federal  Income  Tax  laws. 

Let  us  suppose  that  each  year  thereafter  Mr. 
Smith  decides  to  deposit  an  additional  $10,000  to  the 
trust  fund.  For  every  year  Mr.  Smith  does  this,  he 
will    be    entitled    to    a    contribution    deduction.    Mr. 


Smith's  second-year  contribution  will  be  55  cents 
(present  value  of  $1.00  at  the  death  of  a  person  aged 
fifty-six)  times  $10,000,  or  $5,500. 

It  is  easily  seen  that  under  this  plan  Mr.  Smith's 
income  is  not  reduced  but  his  income  tax  is.  In  addi- 
tion, Mr.  Smith  is  also  reducing  his  taxable  estate 
after  death  because  the  principal  amount  in  the  trust 
fund  no  longer  belongs  to  him. 

Let  us  look  at  one  other  situation  somewhat  simi- 
lar to  the  example  above. 

Let  us  assume  that  Mr.  Smith  has  acquired  a  great 
deal  of  money  in  investments  and  securities.  He 
wishes  to  make  a  donation  to  Millsaps  College  but 
must  consider  providing  for  his  wife  in  event  of  his 
death.  One  alternative  for  Mr.  Smith  is  to  deposit 
his  securities  in  an  irrevocable  living  trust  and  name 
a  bank  as  trustee.  Under  these  terms  the  bank  would 
have  full  control  over  the  investment  of  the  funds  of 
the  trust.  Mr.  Smith  will  receive  the  income  from 
trust  for  the  remainder  of  his  life  and  then  Mrs. 
Smith  will  receive  the  income  from  the  trust  for  the 
remainder  of  her  life.  Following  Mrs.  Smith's  death, 
the  trust  will  terminate  and  the  principal  amount 
deposited  in  the  trust  will  go  to  Millsaps. 

There  are  several  tax  advantages  connected  with 
this  type  of  trust.  First  of  all,  Mr.  Smith  is  entitled 
to  an  income  tax  contribution  for  the  year  that  he 
actually  deposits  the  securities.  The  amount  is 
determined  by  using  a  special  table,  similar  to  the 
one  mentioned  in  the  first  example  used  to  calculate 
the  present  value  of  $1.00  at  the  time  of  death.  Second, 
if  the  trustee  decided  to  sell  some  of  the  securities  in 
order  to  increase  the  interest  of  the,  principal  amount, 
then  Mr.  Smith  would  be  exempt  from  paying  any 
capital  gains  tax,  since  the  gains  on  the  sale  are 
made  by  the  trustees  and  constitute  a  part  of  the 
principal  sum  which  will  eventually  go  to  Millsaps. 

The  purpose  of  these  illustrations  is  to  show  you 
more  ways  by  which  you  and  Millsaps  College  can 
benefit  by  your  gift.  If  you  should  be  interested  in 
taking  advantage  of  any  of  these  opportunities  of  giv- 
ing to  Millsaps  College,  please  contact  the  Develop- 
ment Office,  Millsaps  College.

A  GENEROUS  BENEFACTOR 


•* 


A  federal  grant  of  $75,000 
for  renovation  of  the  Christ- 
iaTk  Center  has  made  pos- 
sible a  new  stage  for  the 
center's  auditorium.  The 
new  facilities  include  a 
larger  stage  area  and  more 
room  for  storage  of  props. 


But  Could  We  Get  More? 


MILLSAPS  AND  THE 
FEDERAL  GOVERNMENT 


In  the  past  year  the  federal  government  paid  about 
one  fourth  of  the  operating  expenses  of  all  the  colleges 
and  universities  in  the  nation.  For  the  average  private 
college  or  university  the  portion  of  the  operating  budget 
coming  from  federal  funds  was  about  one  third.  Yet  O. 
E.  Browning,  who  shares  the  responsibility  of  seeking 
federal  money  for  Millsaps  College,  says,  "If  we  get  as 
much  as  ten  percent  of  pur  operating  expenses  from  the 
government,  I  would  be  very  much  surprised." 

Whether  seeking  funds  for  operating  expenses  or  new 
capital  plant  facilities,  Millsaps  has  one  major  handicap 
in  the  stiff  competition  for  federal  support:  money. 

Unlike  larger,  better  endowed  institutions,  such  as 
Cornell,  New  York  University,  Texas  A  &  M,  and  Ohio 
University,  Millsaps  can  not  spare  funds  to  retain  lobby- 
ists and  maintain  offices  in  Washington.  In  lieu  of  full- 
time  liaison  activities,  several  Millsaps  administrators 
and  teachers  share  this  responsibility  on  a  part-time 
basis. 

Browning,  who  came  to  the  college  in  1966  after 
earning  his  Masters  at  the  University  of  Florida,  is  pur- 
chasing agent  and  assists  Business  Manager  J.  W.  Wood 
in  the  day-to-day  fiscal  operation  of  the  school.  Browning 
also  devotes  as  much  time  as  possible  to  searching  fed- 
eral enactments  for  available  fuuas. 

In  addition  to  his  teaching  duties,  Dr.  Richard  R. 
Priddy,  Chairman  of  the  Geoiogy  Department,  has  been 
particularly  active  in  getting  federal  money  for  science 
projects. 

Jack  L.  Woodward,  the  Religious  Life  Director,  esti- 
mates that  about  ninety-five  percent  of  his  time  is  spent 
helping  students  obtain  federal  loans  or  grants. 

Business  Manager  Wood,  President  Benjamin 
Graves,  Director  of  Development  Barry  Brindley,  Dean 
of  the  Faculty  Frank  M.  Laney  and  others  have  helped 
in  this  job,  which  has  been  made  difficult,  according  to 
one  educational  writer,  by  "increasing  red  tape,  poor  co- 
ordination among  federal  agencies,  and  inadequate  com- 
munication with  Washington." 

The  inability  to  hire  a  fulltime  staff  to  solicit  federal 
money  is  not  the  only  way  in  which  Millsaps  has  been 


handicapped  by  its  comparative  lack  of  funds.  The  most 
important  aspect  of  the  problem  is  Millsaps'  difficulty  in 
providing  matching  funds,  which  are  required  by  many 
of  the  government's  programs.  Usually  Millsaps  can  not 
spare  the  money  needed  for  the  matching  programs — it 
is  needed  for  current  expenses. 

Millsaps'  current  operating  expenses  have  been  in- 
creasing dramatically  in  recent  years.  All  colleges,  in- 
cluding Millsaps,  have  been  forced  to  compete  with  priv- 
ate industry  for  teachers  whose  talents  are  needed  for 
ever-increasing  research  work.  The  expanding  labor 
market  has  provided  new,  higher  paying  jobs  for  admin- 
istration and  staff  workers.  Maintenance  expenses  have 
gone  up,  as  have  prices  for  utilities,  food,  etc. 

In  longer-term  expenditures,  deterioration  of  old  fa- 
cilities has  made  new  dormitories  and  classroom  build- 
ings necessary,  and  construction  costs  for  these  projects 
have  been  spiraling  upward. 

Millsaps'  support  comes  from  three  basic  sources: 
charges,  philanthropy,  and  government.  While  costs  have 
been  increasing  so  steadily,  non-government  income  has 
not  been  keeping  pace. 

Although  Millsaps  has  raised  its  tuition  charges  sev- 
eral times  in  recent  years,  the  Millsaps  student  pays  for 
about  sixty  percent  of  the  expenses  involved  in  his  edu- 
cation. While  Millsaps  has  always  relied  heavily  on  its 
affiliation  with  The  Methodist  Church,  the  percentage  of 
the  college's  regular  income  derived  from  the  church  has 
decreased  annually. 

No  immediate  end  to  this  pressure  is  in  sight.  Ac- 
cording to  Business  Manager  Wood,  who  is  well  acquaint- 
ed with  the  problems  of  making  Millsaps'  ends  meet, 
■'the  costs  of  education  are  increasing  so  rapidly  that 
we  must  find  new  income,  or  our  program  must  be 
curtailed." 

The  Millsaps  administration  feels  that  curtailing  the 
college's  program  is  not  a  desirable  alternative,  and  in 
its  search  for  new  income,  the  school  has  found  the  fed- 
eral government  to  be  a  generous  benefactor,  even 
though  the  amounts  received  from  Washington  by  Mill- 
saps are  not  as  substantial  as  those  received  by  other  in- 
stitutions. 


Browning:  "If  we  get  as  much 
as  ten  percent  ....  I  would  be 
very  much  surprised." 

Millsaps'  federal  support  can  be  divided  into  three 
general  categories:  1 — aid  to  its  students,  2 — funds  for 
special  projects  and  teaching  fellowships,  and  3 — funds 
for  permanent  facilities. 

Jack  Woodward  administers  government  aid  to  needy 
students,  man.v  of  whom  could  not  afford  the  cost  of 
higher  education  without  this  help.  As  late  as  1961  Wood- 
ward could  keep  the  federal  forms  and  paper-work  in  a 
small  box.  Now  a  wall  of  filing  cabinets  is  necessary. 

307  Millsaps  students,  almost  one  third  of  the  total 
enrollment,  receive  aid  from  the  federal  government 
whether  in  the  form  of  a  loan,  an  outright  grant,  or  a 
job. 

Fifteen  are  attending  under  the  G.  I.  Bill,  and  six  get 
benefits  as  ciiildren  of  veterans.  The  remaining  286  stu- 
dents participate  in  several  federal  programs. 

Educational  Opportunity  Grants.  For  the  1967-68 
school  year,  Millsaps  students  will  receive  $137,500  under 
this  program,  which  provides  direct  awards  for  students 
of  exceptional  financial  need  and  academic  promise. 
Through  an  Educational  Opportunity  Grant,  a  student 
may  receive  up  to  $800  a  year  for  his  educational  ex- 
penses. 

College  Work-Study.  This  program  gives  part-time 
jobs  to  needy  students,  who  work  up  to  fifteen  hours 
a  week  while  attending  classes  fulltime.  The  jobs  are 
usually  in  campus  offices.  Millsaps'  Work-Study  allot- 
ment for  the  current  school  year  is  $64,000. 

National  Defense  Student  Loans.  With  a  defense  loan, 
money  is  borrowed  from  the  government  and  is  repaid 
over  a  ten  year  period.  The  low  interest  rate  doesn't  be- 
gin to  run  until  after  the  student  has  finished  his  educa- 
tion. For  this  school  year,  $103,000  has  been  appropriated 
to  MilUsaps  for  these  loans.  The  college  must  approve 
and  make  the  loans,  and  is  responsible  for  their  collec- 
tion. 


Through  the  Educational  Opportunity  Grants,  Col 
lege  Work-Study  and  National  Defense  Student  Loans, 
Woodward's  office  is  administering  a  total  of  more  than 
$300,000  for  the  current  school  year. 

The  second  category  of  federal  involvement  involves^ 
funds  for  current  projects  and  operating  expenses.  Mill- 1 
saps  has  qualified  for  several  of  these  programs,  which] 
are  designed  to  improve  the  curriculum,  purchase  need- 
ed   equipment,    supplement    faculty    salaries,    and    make; 
funds   available   for  research.    Most   of   these    programs 
are   science-oriented,    and   of   these    many    are   adminis- 
tered by  Dr.  Priddy.  | 

I 
Since  1955  Millsaps  has  sought  50  government  grants , 

in  science,  and  of  this  number  has  received  29.  Priddy 
feels  that  Millsaps'  success  ratio  would  be  higher  if  Mill- 
saps offered  a  graduate  program.  "In  most  cases  thei 
reasoning  behind  refusal  is  not  given,  but  in  a  few  in- 
stances it  has  been  pointed  out  that  a  graduate  program' 
would  increase  our  ability  to  fulfill  the  requirements' 
of  National  Science  Foundation  grants.  In  five  instances 
Millsaps  would  have  been  awarded  moneys  for  summer: 
institutes  for  high  school  teachers  if  this  work  would 
have  counted  toward  a  graduate  degree."

would  mean  more  federal  grants. 


ACADEMIC  COMPLEX* 


LLSAPS  COLLEGE  •JACKSON 


;SIPPI 


Construction  is  scheduled  to  begin  this  summer  on  Mill- 
saps'  proposed  Academic  Complex,  shown  in  an  artist's 
sketch.  When  completed,  the  complex  will  house  a  Fine 
Arts  unit,  a  Lecture  Center,  and  a  Library  Addition.  The 
Lecture  Center  will  have  four  amphi-theater  classrooms 
which  will  seat  from  75  to  180  students.  The  Fine  Arts  Unit 
will  contain  art  studios  and  gallery,  a  recital-lecture  audi- 
torium, a  choral  rehearsal  classroom,  a  music  library,  and 
several  practice  rooms.  The  Complex  will  extend  from  the 
Library  to  Murrah  Hall. 


Priddy  has  worked  with  five  types  of  federal  grant 
programs. 

Equipment.  These  grants  furnish  funds  to  purchase 
new  science  equipment  and  modify  old.  They  are  match- 
ing programs,  and  since  1959  the  college  has  received 
$32,500  from  the  government,  which  Millsaps  has  matched 
dollar  for  dollar.  The  requests  for  equipment  originate 
in  the  several  science  disciplines. 

Undergraduate  Research.  Since  1959  Millsaps  has 
been  given  $95,000  to  finance  field  and  laboratory  work 
for  its  science  students. 

Conferences  and  Short  Courses,  on  geology  and 
oceanography,  have  been  conducted  in  cooperation  with 
the  Gulf  Coast  Research  Laboratory,  and  financed  with 
$91,000  from  the  government.  The  bulk  of  this  money 
goes  for  maintenance  of  conference  participants,  who 
come  from  throughout  the  United  States  and  Canada. 
The  money  has  also  been  used  to  purchase  instruments 
and  equipment  and  charter  transportation. 

High  School  Teacher  Courses.  $20,000  has  been  grant- 
ed to  the  college  since  1959  for  these  weekend  courses, 
which  are  designed  to  improve  high  school  instruction  in 
the  multiple  sciences.  The  major  costs  involved  are  re- 
muneration of  participants  and  teaching  expenses. 

Grants  to  Science  Faculty  to  Continue  Investiga- 
tions. This  is  the  fifth  category  administered  by  individ- 


ual science  faculty,  and  it  has  accounted  for  $15,000  since 
1959. 

For  the  current  school  year  Millsaps  has  National 
Science  Foundation  Grants  of  $8,905  to  improve  sciences, 
$2,000  to  improve  Chemistry  teaching,  $8,200  to  improve 
Chemistry  laboratory  work,  $16,100  for  Biology-Geology 
equipment,  and  $24,590  to  improve  teaching  through  a 
June  short-course  for  college  teachers  on  Mississippi's 
coast. 

Millsaps  has  three  other  grants  which  are  not  science- 
oriented,  and  are  categorized  as  special  projects  and 
teaching  fellowships. 

Developing  Institutions  Grant.  This  program  gives 
$81,000  to  Millsaps,  which  is  to  be  used  "to  achieve  a 
higher  academic  quality  through  faculty  improvement 
.   .   .and  introduction  of  new  curriculum  materials." 

Library  Books  Grant.  The  Millsaps  Library  will  re- 
ceive $7,000  for  the  current  year  under  this  grant,  which 
stipulates  that  the  college's  own  library  expenditure  must 
exceed  that  of  the  preceding  year. 

Grants    for    Classroom    and    Laboratory    Equipment. 

For  the  current  year  Millsaps  is  getting  almost  $60,000 
under  this  grant  which  is  administered  Mr.  Browning. 
The  grant  restricts  Millsaps'  equipment  purchases  to 
"audiovisual,  laboratory  and  classroom  equipment, 
printed  and  published  materials  other  than  textbooks, 
and  closed  circuit  equipment. 


Woodward:  Helps  almost  one  third  of  Millsaps' 
students  get  federal  aid. 


The  third  broad  category  of  federal  aid  involves  loans 
and  grants  for  construction  of  new  buildings  and  perma- 
nent facilities. 

Government  money  has  played  an  important  part  in 
recent  construction  and  renovation  projects  on  the 
campus.  A  forty  year  loan  of  $1,226,000  helped  in  the  con- 
struction of  the  two  new  dormitories  which  have  recent- 
ly been  occupied. 

$75,000  in  government  funds  have  been  used  in  the 
renovation  of  the  Christian  Center.  The  Center's  drama 
facilities  were  improved,  the  entire  building  was  air-con-' 
ditioned,  and  classrooms  were  added. 

Construction  is  expected  to  begin  in  July  on  the  new ' 
Academic  Complex  which  will  house  a  Fine  Arts  Center, 
an  addition  to  the  Library,  and  additional  classrooms. 
Two  government  programs  —  a  grant  of  $850,000  and  a 
loan  of  $383,000— will  be  put  with  $1.3  million  of  Millsaps' 
own  funds  for  this  ambitious  undertalting. 

The  amount  of  Millsaps'  support  from  the  govern- 
ment, small  compared  to  that  received  by  some  institu- 
tions, is  probably  surprising  to  those  who  are  unaware 
of  the  magnitude  of  the  government's  expenditures  in 
higher  education. 

Business  Manager  Wood  says,  "There  are  those  who 
say  that  a  college  should  not  become  dependent  on  gov- 
ernment support,  and  I  agree  with  them."  Millsaps'  ad- 
ministration prefers  non-government  income,  which  is 
usually  free  from  stipulations  and  conditions,  and  does 
not  depend  on  congressional  appropriation.  Institutions 
whose  programs  are  undergirded  by  government  grants 
and  loans  suffer  directly  when  Congress  cuts  its  educa- 
tional appropriations.  The  financial  pressure  caused  by 
Vietnam  has  already  been  felt  on  some  campuses,  and 
many  educators  fear  that  the  biggest  cuts  are  yet  to 
come. 


Wood:     "A    college    should    not    become 
pendent  on  government  support."

A  noted  economist  recently  visit- 
ed the  Millsaps  campus  under  the 
auspices  of  the  Visiting  Science  Pro- 
gram in  Economics,  which  was  estab- 
lished through  a  grant  from  the  Na- 
tional Science  Foundation.  Dr.  Ber- 
nard Sliger,  Vice-Chancellor  of  Lou- 
isiana State  University,  delivered  sev- 
eral talks  to  students  and  held  con- 
ferences with  members  of  the  Mill- 
saps  Economics  faculty.  The  Visiting 
Science  Program  was  designed  to 
stimulate  interest  in  economics  among 
college  students  and  to  provide  oppor- 
tunities for  college  economics  teachers 
to  discuss  their  teaching  and  research 
problems  with  a  visiting  economist.

PLATFORM  COMMITTEE 


MILLSAPS' 

MOCK  REPUBLICAN 

CONVENTION 

Richard  M.  Nixon  emerged  the  victorious  nominee 
in  Millsaps'  Mock  Republican  Convention,  held  in  Buie 
Gymnasium  March  11-13.  The  nomination  was  captured 
by  the  Nixon  forces  on  the  fifth  baUot  after  the  tired 
backers  of  some  favorite  son  candidates  withdrew  in 
favor  of  Nixon.  New  York  Governor  Nelson  Rockefeller 
had  been  in  contention  for  the  first  four  ballots. 

The  students  accepted  Illinois  Senator  Charles  Percy 
for  the  Vice-Presidential  nomination  by  acclamation. 


South  Carolina  Republican  Senator  Strom  Thurmond 
gave  the  convention's  keynote  address  Monday  night. 
Thurmond,  a  former  Governor  of  South  Carolina,  ran  un- 
successfully for  President  in  1948  on  the  States'  Rights 
Democrat  ticket.  His  running  mate  was  Governor  Field- 
ing Wright  of  Mississippi.  In  1964  Thurmond  switched  par- 
ty affiliations  when  the  Republicans  nominated  Barry 
Goldwater. 

The  Mock  Convention,  which  was  sponsored  by  the 
Fre-Law  Club,  gives  students  an  opportunity  to  partici- 
pate in  one  of  the  most  important  phases  of  the  Ameri- 
can electoral  process.  The  students  have  been  remark- 
ably accurate  in  their  selections.  In  1960  John  F.  Ken- 
nedy was  chosen  for  the  presidency,  with  Lyndon  John- 
son his  running  -  mate.  In  1964  the  Mock  convention 
reached  an  impasse  with  Barry  Goldwater  forces  leading 
substantially  on  every  ballot,  while  failing  to  receive  the 
necessary  majority  after  several  ballots.  Dean  Laney  de- 
nied the  students'  request  for  a  suspension  of  classes  on 
the  following  day,  and  the  convention  was  adjourned  well 
past  midnight  with  the  Goldwater  forces  claiming  a 
moral,  if  not  actual  victory.

A  Special  Report 


The 

Plain  Fact  Is . . 

. . .  our  colleges  and 
universities  "are  facing 
what  might  easily 
become  a  crisis'' 

OUR  COLLEGES  AND  UNIVERSITIES,  over  the  last  20  years,  have 
experienced  an  expansion  that  is  without  precedent — in  build- 
ings and  in  budgets,  in  students  and  in  professors,  in  reputation 
and  in  rewards — in  power  and  pride  and  in  deserved  prestige.  As 
we  try  to  tell  our  countrymen  that  we  are  faced  with  imminent 
bankruptcy,  we  confront  the  painful  fact  that  in  the  eyes  of  the 
American  people — and  I  think  also  in  the  eyes  of  disinterested 
observers  abroad— we  are  a  triumphant  success.  The  observers 
seem  to  beUeve — and  I  believe  myself — that  the  American  cam- 
pus ranks  with  the  American  corporation  among  the  handful  of 
first-class  contributions  which  our  civilization  has  made  to  the 
annals  of  human  institutions.  We  come  before  the  country  to 
plead  financial  emergency  at  a  time  when  our  public  standing 
has  never  been  higher.  It  is  at  the  least  an  unhappy  accident  of 
timing.

A  Special  Report 


A  STATE-SUPPORTED  UNIVERSITY  in  the  Midwest  makes 
/%       a  sad  announcement:  With  more  well-qualified

A      ^^^fore,  the  university  must  tighten  its  entrance 
requirements.  Qualified  though  the  kids  are,  the  univer- 
sity must  turn  many  of  them  away. 

►  A  private  college  in  New  England  raises  its  tuition 
fee  for  the  seventh  time  since  World  War  II.  In  doing 
so,  it  admits  ruefully:  "Many  of  the  best  high-school 
graduates  can't  afford  to  come  here,  any  more." 

►  A  state  college  network  in  the  West,  long  regarded 
as  one  of  the  nation's  finest,  cannot  offer  its  students 
the  usual  range  of  instruction  this  year.  Despite  inten- 
sive recruiting,  more  than  1,000  openings  on  the  faculty 
were  unfilled  at  the  start  of  the  academic  year. 

►  A  church-related  college  in  the  South,  whose  de- 
nomination's leaders  believe  in  strict  separation  of  church 
and  state,  severs  its  church  ties  in  order  to  seek  money 
from  the  government.  The  college  must  have  such  money, 
say  its  administrators — or  it  will  die. 

Outwardly,  America's  colleges  and  universities  ap- 
pear more  affluent  than  at  any  time  in  the  past.  In  the 
aggregate  they  have  more  money,  more  students,  more 
buildings,  better-paid  faculties,  than  ever  before  in  their 
history. 

Yet  many  are  on  the  edge  of  deep  trouble. 

"The  plain  fact,"  in  the  words  of  the  president  of 
Columbia  University,  "is  that  we  are  facing  what  might 
easily  become  a  crisis  in  the  financing  of  American  higher 
education,  and  the  sooner  we  know  about  it,  the  better 
off  we  will  be." 

THE  TROUBLE  is  HOt  limited  to  a  few  institutions. 
Nor  does  it  affect  only  one  or  two  types  of 
institution.  Large  universities,  small  colleges; 
state-supported  and  privately  supported:  the 
problem  faces  them  all. 

Before  preparing  this  report,  the  editors  asked  more 
than  500  college  and  university  presidents  to  tell  us — 
off  the  record,  if  they  preferred — just  how  they  viewed 
the  future  of  their  institutions.  With  rare  exceptions,  the 
presidents  agreed  on  this  assessment:  77;^?  the  money  is 
not  now  in  sight  to  meet  the  rising  costs  of  higher  educa- 
tion .  .  .  to  serve  the  growing  numbers  of  bright,  qualified 
students  .  .  .  and  to  pay  for  the  myriad  activities  that  Amer- 
icans now  demand  of  their  colleges  and  universities. 
Important  programs  and  necessary  new  buildings  are 


A 


LL  OF  US  are  hard-put  to  see  where  we  are  going 
to  get  the  funds  to  meet  the  educational  demands 
of  the  coming  decade. 

— A  university  president 


being  deferred  for  lack  of  money,  the  presidents  said. 
Many  admitted  to  budget-tightening  measures  reminis- 
cent of  those  taken  in  days  of  the  Great  Depression. 

Is  this  new?  Haven't  the  colleges  and  universities  al- 
ways needed  money?  Is  there  something  different  about 
the  situation  today? 

The  answer  is  "Yes" — to  all  three  questions. 

The  president  of  a  large  state  university  gave  us  this 
view  of  the  over-all  situation,  at  both  the  publicly  and 
the  privately  supported  institutions  of  higher  education: 

"A  good  many  institutions  of  higher  learning  are 
operating  at  a  deficit,"  he  said.  "First,  the  private  col- 
leges and  universities:  they  are  eating  into  their  endow- 
ments in  order  to  meet  their  expenses.  Second,  the  public 
institutions.  It  is  not  legal  to  spend  beyond  our  means, 
but  here  we  have  another  kind  of  deficit:  a  deficit  in 
quality,  which  will  be  extremely  difficult  to  remedy  even 
when  adequate  funding  becomes  available." 

Other  presidents'  comments  were  equally  revealing: 

►  From  a  university  in  the  Ivy  League:  "Independent 
national  universities  face  an  uncertain  future  which 
threatens  to  blunt  their  thrust,  curb  their  leadership,  and 
jeopardize  their  independence.  Every  one  that  I  know 
about  is  facing  a  deficit  in  its  operating  budget,  this 
year  or  next.  And  all  of  us  are  hard-put  to  see  where  we 
are  going  to  get  the  funds  to  meet  the  educational  de- 
mands of  the  coming  decade." 

►  From  a  municipal  college  in  the  Midwest:  "The  best 
word  to  describe  our  situation  is  'desperate.'  We  are 
operating  at  a  deficit  of  about  20  per  cent  of  our  total 
expenditure." 

►  From  a  private  liberal  arts  college  in  Missouri:  "Only 
by  increasing  our  tuition  charges  are  we  keeping  our 
heads  above  water.  Expenditures  are  galloping  to  such 
a  degree  that  I  don't  know  how  we  will  make  out  in  the 
future." 

►  From  a  church-related  university  on  the  West  Coast: 
"We  face  very  serious  problems.  Even  though  our  tuition 
is  below-average,  we  have  already  priced  ourselves  out  of 
part  of  our  market.  We  have  gone  deeply  into  debt  for 
dormitories.  Our  church  support  is  declining.  At  times, 
the  outlook  is  grim." 

►  From  a  state  university  in  the  Big  Ten:  "The  bud- 
get for  our  operations  must  be  considered  tight.  It  is 
less  than  we  need  to  meet  the  demands  upon  the  univer- 
sity for  teaching,  research,  and  public  service." 

►  From  a  small  liberal  arts  college  in  Ohio:  "We  are 


on  a  hand-tcr-mouth,  'kitchen'  economy.  Our  ten-year 
projections  indicate  that  we  can  maintain  our  quality 
only  by  doubling  in  size." 

►  From  a  small  college  in  the  Northeast:  "For  the 
first  time  in  its  150-year  history,  our  college  has  a  planned 
deficit.  We  are  holding  our  heads  above  water  at  the 
moment — but,  in  terms  of  quality  education,  this  can- 
not long  continue  without  additional  means  of  support." 

►  From  a  state  college  in  California:  "We  are  not 
permitted  to  operate  at  a  deficit.  The  funding  of  our  bud- 
get at  a  level  considerably  below  that  proposed  by  the 
trustees  has  made  it  difficult  for  us  to  recruit  staff  mem- 
bers and  has  forced  us  to  defer  very-much-needed  im- 
provements in  our  existing  activities." 

►  From  a  women's  college  in  the  South:  "For  the 
coming  year,  pur  budget  is  the  tightest  we  have  had  in 
my  fifteen  years  as  president." 

What's  gone  wrong? 
Talk  of  the  sort  quoted  above  may 
seem  strange,  as  one  looks  at  the  un- 
paralleled growth  of  America's  colleges 
and  universities  during  the  past  decade: 

►  Hardly  a  campus  in  the  land  does  not  have  a  brand- 
new  building  or  one  under  construction.  Colleges  and 
universities  are  spending  more  than  $2  billion  a  year  for 
capital  expansion. 

►  Faculty  salaries  have  nearly  doubled  in  the  past 
decade.  (But  in  some  regions  they  are  still  woefully  low.] 

►  Private,  voluntary  support  to  colleges  and  univer- 
sities has  more  than  tripled  since  1958.  Higher  educa- 
tion's share  of  the  philanthropic  dollar  has  risen  from 
1 1  per  cent  to  17  per  cent. 

►  State  tax  funds  appropriated  for  higher  education 
have  increased  44  per  cent  in  just  two  years,  to  a  1967-68 
total  of  nearly  $4.4  bilhon.  This  is  214  per  cent  more  than 
the  sum  appropriated  eight  years  ago. 

►  Endowment  funds  have  more  than  doubled  over 
the  past  decade.  They're  now  estimated  to  be  about  $12 
billion,  at  market  value. 

►  Federal  funds  going  to  institutions  of  higher  educa- 
tion have  more  than  doubled  in  four  years. 

►  More  than  300  new  colleges  and  universities  have 
been  founded  since  1945. 

►  All  in  all,  the  total  expenditure  this  year  for  U.S. 
higher  education  is  some  $18  billion — more  than  three 
times  as  much  as  in  1955. 


Moreover,  America's  colleges  and  universities  have 
absorbed  the  tidal  wave  of  students  that  was  supposed  to 
have  swamped  them  by  now.  They  have  managed  to  ful- 
fill their  teaching  and  research  functions  and  to  under- 
take a  variety  of  new  public-service  programs — despite 
the  ominous  predictions  of  faculty  shortages  heard  ten 
or  fifteen  years  ago.  Says  one  foundation  official: 

"The  system  is  bigger,  stronger,  and  more  productive 
than  it  has  ever  been,  than  any  system  of  higher  educa- 
tion in  the  world." 

Why,  then,  the  growing  concern? 

Re-examine  the  progress  of  the  past  ten  years,  and 
this  fact  becomes  apparent:  The  progress  was  great — 
but  it  did  not  deal  with  the  basic  flaws  in  higher  educa- 
tion's financial  situation.  Rather,  it  made  the  whole  en- 
terprise bigger,  more  sophisticated,  and  more  expensive. 

Voluntary  contributions  grew — but  the  complexity  and 
costliness  of  the  nation's  colleges  and  universities  grew 
faster. 

Endowment  funds  grew — but  the  need  for  the  income 
From  them  grew  faster. 

State  appropriations  grew — but  the  need  grew  faster. 

Faculty  salaries  were  rising.  New  courses  were  needed, 
due  to  the  unprecedented  "knowledge  explosion."  More 
costly  apparatus  was  required,  as  scientific  progress  grew 
more  complex.  Enrollments  burgeoned — and  students 
stayed  on  for  more  advanced  (and  more  expensive)  train- 
ing at  higher  levels. 

And,  for  most  of  the  nation's  2,300  colleges  and  uni- 
versities, an  old  problem  remained — and  was  intensified, 
as  the  costs  of  education  rose:  gifts,  endowment,  and 
government  funds  continued  to  go,  disproportionately, 
to  a  relative  handful  of  institutions.  Some  36  per  cent  of 
all  voluntary  contributions,  for  example,  went  to  just  55 
major  universities.  Some  90  per  cent  of  all  endowment 
Funds  were  owned  by  fewer  than  5  per  cent  of  the  insti- 
tutions. In  1966,  the  most  recent  year  reported,  some  70 
per  cent  of  the  federal  government's  funds  for  higher 
education  went  to  100  institutions. 

McGeorge  Bundy,  the  president  of  the  Ford  Founda- 
tion, puts  it  this  way: 

"Great  gains  have  been  made;  the  academic  profession 
has  reached  a  wholly  new  level  of  economic  strength, 
and  the  instruments  of  excellence — the  libraries  and

ACH  NEW  ATTEMPT  at  a  massivc  solution  has  left 
the  trustees  and  presidents  just  where  they  started.

laboratories — are  stronger  than  ever.  But  the  university 
that  pauses  to  look  back  will  quickly  fall  behind  in  the 
endless  race  to  the  future." 

Mr.  Bundy  says  further: 

"The  greatest  general  problem  of  higher  education  is 
money  ....  The  multiplying  needs  of  the  nation's  col- 
leges and  universities  force  a  recognition  that  each  new 
attempt  at  a  massive  solution  has  left  the  trustees  and 
presidents  just  where  they  started:  in  very  great  need." 

THE  FINANCIAL  PROBLEMS  of  higher  education 
are  unlike  those,  say,  of  industry.  Colleges  and 
universities  do  not  operate  like  General  Mo- 
tors. On  the  contrary,  they  sell  their  two  pri- 
mary services — teaching  and  research — at  a  loss. 

It  is  safe  to  say  (although  details  may  differ  from 
institution  to  institution)  that  the  American  college  or 
university  student  pays  only  a  fraction  of  the  cost  of  his 
education. 

This  cost  varies  with  the  level  of  education  and  with 
the  educational  practices  of  the  institution  he  attends. 
Undergraduate  education,  for  instance,  costs  less  than 
graduate  education — which  in  turn  may  cost  less  than 
medical  education.  And  the  cost  of  educating  a  student 
in  the  sciences  is  greater  than  in  the  humanities.  What- 
ever the  variations,  however,  the  student's  tuition  and 
fees  pay  only  a  portion  of  the  bill. 

"As  private  enterprises,"  says  one  president,  "we  don't 
seem  to  be  doing  so  well.  We  lose  money  every  time  we 
take  in  another  student." 

Of  course,  neither  he  nor  his  colleagues  on  other 
campuses  would  have  it  otherwise.  Nor,  it  seems  clear, 
would  most  of  the  American  people. 

But  just  as  student  instruction  is  provided  at  a  sub- 
stantial reduction  from  the  actual  cost,  so  is  the  research 
that  the  nation's  universities  perform  on  a  vast  scale  for 
the  federal  government.  On  this  particular  below-cost 
service,  as  contrasted  with  that  involving  the  provision 
of  education  to  their  students,  many  colleges  and  univer- 
sities are  considerably  less  than  enthusiastic. 

In  brief:  The  federal  government  rarely  pays  the  full 
cost  of  the  research  it  sponsors.  Most  of  the  money  goes 
for  direct  costs  (compensation  for  faculty  time,  equip- 
ment, computer  use,  etc.)  Some  of  it  goes  for  indirect 
costs  (such  "overhead"  costs  of  the  institution  as  payroll 
departments,  libraries,  etc.).  Government  policy  stipu- 
lates that  the  institutions  receiving  federal  research  grants 


must  share  in  the  cost  of  the  research  by  contributing,  in 
some  fashion,  a  percentage  of  the  total  amount  of  the 
grant. 

University  presidents  have  insisted  for  many  years 
that  the  government  should  pay  the  full  cost  of  the  re- 
search it  sponsors.  Under  the  present  system  of  cost- 
sharing,  they  point  out,  it  actually  costs  their  institutions 
money  to  conduct  federally  sponsored  research.  This  has 
been  one  of  the  most  controversial  issues  in  the  partner- 
ship between  higher  education  and  the  federal  govern- 
ment, and  it  continues  to  be  so. 

In  commercial  terms,  then,  colleges  and  universities 
sell  their  products  at  a  loss.  If  they  are  to  avoid  going 
bankrupt,  they  must  make  up — from  other  sources — the 
difference  between  the  income  they  receive  for  their  ser- 
vices and  the  money  they  spend  to  provide  them. 

With  costs  spiraling  upward,  that  task  becomes  ever 
more  formidable. 

HERE  ARE  SOME  of  the  harsh  facts:  Operating  ex- 
penditures for  higher  education  more  than 
tripled  during  the  past  decade — from  about  $4 
billion  in  1956  to  $12.7  billion  last  year.  By 
1970,  if  government  projections  are  correct,  colleges  and 
universities  will  be  spending  over  $18  billion  for  their 
current  operations,  plus  another  $2  billion  or  $3  billion 
for  capital  expansion. 

Why  such  steep  increases  in  expenditures?  There  are 
several  reasons: 

►  Student  enrollment  is  now  close  to  7  million — 
twice  what  it  was  in  1960. 

►  The  rapid  accumulation  of  new  knowledge  and  a 
resulting  trend  toward  specialization  have  led  to  a  broad- 
ening of  the  curricula,  a  sharp  increase  in  graduate  study, 
a  need  for  sophisticated  new  equipment,  and  increased 
library  acquisitions.  All  are  very  costly. 

►  An  unprecedented  growth  in  faculty  salaries — long 
overdue — has  raised  instructional  costs  at  most  institu- 
tions. (Faculty  salaries  account  for  roughly  half  of  the 
educational  expenses  of  the  average  institution  of  higher 
learning.) 

►  About  20  per  cent  of  the  financial  "growth"  during 
the  past  decade  is  accounted  for  by  inflation. 

Not  only  has  the  over-all  cost  of  higher  education  in- 
creased markedly,  but  the  cost  per  student  has  risen 
steadily,  despite  increases  in  enrollment  which  might,  in 
any  other  "industry,"  be  expected  to  lower  the  unit  cost. 

Colleges  and  universities  apparently  have  not  im- 
proved their  productivity  at  the  same  pace  as  the  econ- 
omy generally.  A  recent  study  of  the  financial  trends  in 
three  private  universities  illustrates  this.  Between  1905 
and  1966,  the  educational  cost  per  student  at  the  three 
universities,  viewed  compositely,  increased  20-fold, 
against  an  economy-wide  increase  of  three-  to  four-fold. 
In  each  of  the  three  periods  of  peace,  direct  costs  per 
student  increased  about  8  per  cent,  against  a  2  per  cent 
annual  increase  in  the  economy-wide  index. 


Some  observers  conclude  from  this  that  higher  educa- 
tion must  be  made  more  efficient — that  ways  must  be 
found  to  educate  more  students  with  fewer  faculty  and 
staff  members.  Some  institutions  have  moved  in  this 
direction  by  adopting  a  year-round  calendar  of  opera- 
tions, permitting  them  to  make  maximum  use  of  the 
faculty  and  physical  plant.  Instructional  devices,  pro- 
grammed learning,  closed-circuit  television,  and  other 
technological  systems  are  being  employed  to  increase 
productivity  and  to  gain  economies  through  larger 
classes. 

The  problem,  however,  is  to  increase  efficiency  with- 
out jeopardizing  the  special  character  of  higher  educa- 
tion. Scholars  are  quick  to  point  out  that  management 
techniques  and  business  practices  cannot  be  applied 
easily  to  colleges  and  universities.  They  observe,  for 
example,  that  on  strict  cost-accounting  principles,  a  col- 
lege could  not  justify  its  library.  A  physics  professor, 
complaining  about  large  classes,  remarks:  "When  you 
get  a  hundred  kids  in  a  classroom,  that's  not  education; 
that's  show  business." 

The  college  and  university  presidents  whom  we  sur- 
veyed in  the  preparation  of  this  report  generally  believe 
their  institutions  are  making  every  dollar  work.  There  is 
room  for  improvement,  they  acknowledge.  But  few  feel 
the  financial  problems  of  higher  education  can  be  signifi- 
cantly reduced  through  more  efficient  management. 

ONE  THING  seems  fairly  certain:  The  costs  of 
\  higher  education  will  continue  to  rise.  To 
'  meet  their  projected  expenses,  colleges  and 
universities  will  need  to  increase  their  annual 
operating  income  by  more  than  $4  billion  during  the 
four-year  period  between  1966  and  1970.  They  must  find 
another  $8  billion  or  $10  billion  for  capital  outlays. 
Consider  what  this  might  mean  for  a  typical  private 


% 


university.  A  recent  report  presented  this  hypothetical 
case,  based  on  actual  projections  of  university  expendi- 
tures and  income: 

The  institution's  budget  is  now  in  balance.  Its  educa- 
tional and  general  expenditures  total  $24.5  million  a 
year. 

Assume  that  the  university's  expenditures  per  student 
vill  continue  to  grow  at  the  rate  of  the  past  ten  years — 
7.5  per  cent  annually.  Assume,  too,  that  the  university's 
enrollment  will  continue  to  grow  at  its  rate  of  the  past 
en  years — 3.4  per  cent  annually.  Ten  years  hence,  the 
astitution's  educational  and  general  expenses  would  total 
S70.7  million. 

At  best,  continues  the  analysis,  tuition  payments  in 

^he  next  ten  years  will  grow  at  a  rate  of  6  per  cent  a  year; 

at  worst,  at  a  rate  of  4  per  cent — compared  with  9  per 

ent  over  the  past  ten  years.  Endowment  income  will 

row  at  a  rate  of  3.5  to  5  per  cent,  compared  with  7.7  per 

ent  over  the  past  decade.  Gifts  and  grants  will  grow  at 

rate  of  4.5  to  6  per  cent,  compared  with  6.5  per  cent 

■over  the  past  decade. 

"If  the  income  from  private  sources  grew  at  the  higher 
rates  projected,"  says  the  analysis,  "it  would  increase 
from  $24.5  million  to  $50.9  million — leaving  a  deficit  of 
$19.8  million,  ten  years  hence.  If  its  income  from  private 
sources  grew  at  the  lower  rates  projected,  it  would  have 
increased  to  only  $43  million — leaving  a  shortage  of 
$27.8  million,  ten  years  hence." 


In  publicly  supported  colleges  and  universities,  the 
outlook  is  no  brighter,  although  the  gloom  is  of  a  differ- 
ent variety.  Says  the  report  of  a  study  by  two  professors 
at  the  University  of  Wisconsin: 

"Public  institutions  of  higher  education  in  the  United 
States  are  now  operating  at  a  quality  deficit  of  more  than 
a  billion  dollars  a  year.  In  addition,  despite  heavy  con- 
struction schedules,  they  have  accumulated  a  major  capi- 
tal lag." 

The  deficit  cited  by  the  Wisconsin  professors  is  a  com- 
putation of  the  cost  of  bringing  the  public  institutions' 
expenditures  per  student  to  a  level  comparable  with  that 
at  the  private  institutions.  With  the  enrollment  growth 
expected  by  1975,  the  professors  calculate,  the  "quality 
deficit"  in  public  higher  education  will  reach  $2.5  billion. 

The  problem  is  caused,  in  large  part,  by  the  tremendous 
enrollment  increases  in  public  colleges  and  universities. 
The  institutions'  resources,  says  the  Wisconsin  study, 
"may  not  prove  equal  to  the  task." 

Moreover,  there  are  indications  that  public  institutions 
may  be  nearing  the  limit  of  expansion,  unless  they  receive 
a  massive  infusion  of  new  funds.  One  of  every  seven  pub- 
lic universities  rejected  qualified  applicants  from  their 
own  states  last  fall;  two  of  every  seven  rejected  qualified 
applicants  from  other  states.  One  of  every  ten  raised  ad- 
missions standards  for  in-state  students;  one  in  six  raised 
standards  for  out-of-state  students. 

WILL  THE  FUNDS  be  found  to  meet  the  pro- 
jected cost  increases  of  higher  education? 
Colleges  and  universities  have  tradi- 
tionally received  their  operating  income 
from  three  sources: /row  the  students,  in  the  form  of  tui- 
tion and  fees;  from  the  state,  in  the  form  of  legislative 
appropriations;  and  from  individuals,  foundations,  and 
corporations,  in  the  form  of  gifts.  (Money  from  the  federal 
government  for  operating  expenses  is  still  more  of  a  hope 
than  a  reality.) 

Can  these  traditional  sources  of  funds  continue  to 
meet  the  need?  The  question  is  much  on  the  minds  of  the 
nation's  college  and  university  presidents. 

►  Tuition  and  fees:  They  have  been  rising — and  are 
likely  to  rise  more.  A  number  of  private  "prestige"  in- 
stitutions have  passed  the  $2,000  mark.  Public  institutions 
are  under  mounting  pressure  to  raise  tuition  and  fees, 
and  their  student  charges  have  been  rising  at  a  faster  rate 
than  those  in  private  institutions. 

The  problem  of  student  charges  is  one  of  the  most 
controversial  issues  in  higher  education  today.  Some  feel 
that  the  student,  as  the  direct  beneficiary  of  an  education, 
should  pay  most  or  all  of  its  real  costs.  Others  disagree 
emphatically:  since  society  as  a  whole  is  the  ultimate 
beneficiary,  they  argue,  every  student  should  have  the 
right  to  an  education,  whether  he  can  afford  it  or  not. 

The  leaders  of  publicly  supported  colleges  and  univer- 
sities are  almost  unanimous  on  this  point:  that  higher 
tuitions  and  fees  will  erode  the  premise  of  equal  oppor-

tunity  on  which  public  higher  education  is  based.  They 
would  hke  to  see  the  present  trend  reversed — toward  free, 
or  at  least  lower-cost,  higher  education. 

Leaders  of  private  institutions  find  the  rising  tuitions 
equally  disturbing.  Heavily  dependent  upon  the  income 
they  receive  from  students,  many  such  institutions  find 
that  raising  their  tuition  is  inescapable,  as  costs  rise. 
Scores  of  presidents  surveyed  for  this  report,  however, 
said  that  mounting  tuition  costs  are  "pricing  us  out  of 
the  market."  Said  one:  "As  our  tuition  rises  beyond  the 
reach  of  a  larger  and  larger  segment  of  the  college-age 
population,  we  find  it  more  and  more  difficult  to  attract 
our  quota  of  students.  We  are  reaching  a  point  of  dimin- 
ishing returns." 

Parents  and  students  also  are  worried.  Said  one  father 
who  has  been  financing  a  college  education  for  three 
daughters:  "It's  like  buying  a  second  home." 

Stanford  Professor  Roger  A. ,  Freeman  says  it  isn't 
really  that  bad.  In  his  book.  Crisis  in  College  Finance?, 
he  points  out  that  when  tuition  increases  have  been  ad- 
justed to  the  shrinking  value  of  the  dollar  or  are  related 
to  rising  levels  of  income,  the  cost  to  the  student  actually 
declined  between  1941  and  1961.  But  this  is  small  consola- 
tion to  a  man  with  an  annual  salary  of  $15,000  and  three 
daughters  in  college. 

Colleges  and  universities  will  be  under  increasing  pres- 
sure to  raise  their  rates  still  higher,  but  if  they  do,  they 
will  run  the  risk  of  pricing  themselves  beyond  the  means 
of  more  and  more  students.  Indeed,  the  evidence  is  strong 
that  resistance  to  high  tuition  is  growing,  even  in  rela- 
tively well-to-do  families.  The  College  Scholarship  Ser- 
vice, an  arm  of  the  College  Entrance  Examination  Board, 
reported  recently  that  some  middle-  and  upper-income 
parents  have  been  "substituting  relatively  low-cost  insti- 
tutions" because  of  the  rising  prices  at  some  of  the  na- 
tion's colleges  and  universities. 

The  presidents  of  such  institutions  have  nightmares 
over  such  trends.  One  of  them,  the  head  of  a  private 
college  in  Minnesota,  told  us: 

"We  are  so  dependent  upon  tuition  for  approximately 
50  per  cent  of  our  operating  expenses  that  if  40  fewer 
students  come  in  September  than  we  expect,  we  could 
have  a  budgetary  deficit  this  year  of  $50,000  or  more." 

►  State  appropriations:  The  50  states  have  appropri- 
ated nearly  $4.4  billion  for  their  colleges  and  universities 
this  year — a  figure  that  includes  neither  the  $l-$2  billion 
spent  by  public  institutions  for  capital  expansion,  nor 
the  appropriations  of  local  governments,  which  account 


for  about  10  per  cent  of  all  public  appropriations  for  the 
operating  expenses  of  higher  education. 

The  record  set  by  the  states  is  remarkable — one  that 
many  observers  would  have  declared  impossible,  as  re- 
cently as  eight  years  ago.  In  those  eight  years,  the  states 
have  increased  their  appropriations  for  higher  education 
by  an  incredible  214  per  cent. 

Can  the  states  sustain  this  growth  in  their  support  of 
higher  education?  Will  they  be  willing  to  do  so? 

The  more  pessimistic  observers  believe  that  the  states 
can't  and  won't,  without  a  drastic  overhaul  in  the  tax 
structures  on  which  state  financing  is  based.  The  most 
productive  tax  sources,  such  observers  say,  have  been 
pre-empted  by  the  federal  government.  They  also  believe 
that  more  and  more  state  funds  will  be  used,  in  the  fu- 
ture, to  meet  increasing  demands  for  other  services. 

Optimists,  on  the  other  hand,  are  convinced  the  states 
are  far  from  reaching  the  upper  limits  of  their  ability  to 
raise  revenue.  Tax  reforms,  they  say,  will  enable  states 
to  increase  their  annual  budgets  sufficiently  to  meet  higher 
education's  needs. 

The  debate  is  theoretical.  As  a  staff  report  to  the  Ad- 
visory Commission  on  Intergovernmental  Relations  con- 
cluded: "The  appraisal  of  a  state's  fiscal  capacity  is  a 
political  decision  [that]  it  alone  can  make.  It  is  not  a 
researchable  problem." 

Ultimately,  in  short,  the  decision  rests  with  the  tax- 
payer. 

►  Voluntary  private  gifts:  Gifts  are  vital  to  higher 
education. 

In  private  colleges  and  universities,  they  are  part  of  the 
lifeblood.  Such  institutions  commonly  budget  a  deficit, 
and  then  pray  that  it  will  be  met  by  private  gifts. 

In  public  institutions,  private  gifts  supplement  state 
appropriations.  They  provide  what  is  often  called  "a 
margin  for  excellence."  Many  public  institutions  use  such 
funds  to  raise  faculty  salaries  above  the  levels  paid  for  by 
the  state,  and  are  thus  able  to  compete  for  top  scholars. 
A  number  of  institutions  depend  upon  private  gifts  for 
student  facilities  that  the  state  does  not  provide. 

Will  private  giving  grow  fast  enough  to  meet  the  grow- 
ing need?  As  with  state  appropriations,  opinions  vary. 

John  J.  Schwartz,  executive  director  of  the  American 
Association  of  Fund-Raising  Counsel,  feels  there  is  a 
great  untapped  reservoir.  At  present,  for  example,  only 
one  out  of  every  four  alumni  and  alumnae  contributes  to 
higher  education.  And,  while  American  business  corpora- 
tions gaVe  an  estimated    $300  million    to    education

in  1965-66,  this  was  only  about  0.37  percent  of  their  net 
income  before  taxes.  On  the  average,  companies  contrib- 
ute only  about  1.10  per  cent  of  net  income  before  taxes 
to  all  causes — well  below  the  5  per  cent  allowed  by  the 
Federal  government.  Certainly  there  is  room  for  expan- 
sion. 

(Colleges  and  universities  are  working  overtime  to  tap 
this  reservoir.  Mr.  Schwartz's  association  alone  lists  117 
colleges  and  universities  that  are  now  campaigning  to 
raise  a  combined  total  of  $4  billion.) 

But  others  are  not  so  certain  that  expansion  in  private 
giving  will  indeed  take  place.  The  46th  annual  survey  by 
the  John  Price  Jones  Company,  a  firm  of  fund-raising 
counselors,  sampled  50  colleges  and  universities  and  found 
a  decline  in  voluntary  giving  of  8.7  per  cent  in  12  months. 
The  Council  for  Financial  Aid  to  Education  and  the 
American  Alumni  Council  calculate  that  voluntary  sup- 
port for  higher  education  in  1965-66  declined  by  some 
1.2  per  cent  in  the  same  period. 

Refining  these  figures  gives  them  more  meaning.  The 
major  private  universities,  for  example,  received  about 
36  per  cent  of  the  SI. 2  billion  given  to  higher  education 
— a  decrease  from  the  previous  year.  Private  liberal  arts 
colleges  also  fell  behind:  coeducational  colleges  dropped 
10  per  cent,  men's  colleges  dropped  16.2  per  cent,  and 
women's  colleges  dropped  12.6  percent.  State  institutions, 
on  the  other  hand,  increased  their  private  support  by 
23.8  per  cent. 

The  record  of  some  cohesive  groups  of  colleges  and 
universities  is  also  revealing.  Voluntary  support  of  eight 
Ivy  League  institutions  declined  27.8  per  cent,  for  a  total 
loss  of  $61  million.  The  Seven  College  Conference,  a 
group  of  women's  colleges,  reported  a  drop  of  41  per  cent. 
The  Associated  Colleges  of  the  Midwest  dropped  about

5.5  per  cent.  The  Council  of  Southern  Universities  de- 
clined 6.2  per  cent.  Fifty-five  major  private  universities 
received  7.7  per  cent  less  from  gifts. 

Four  groups  gained.  The  state  universities  and  colleges 
received  20.5  per  cent  more  in  private  gifts  in  1965-66 
than  in  the  previous  year.  Fourteen  technological  insti- 
tutions gained  10.8  percent.  Members  of  the  Great  Lakes 
College  Association  gained  5.6  per  cent.  And  Western 
Conference  universities,  plus  the  University  of  Chicago, 
gained  34.5  per  cent.  (Within  each  such  group,  of  course, 
individual  colleges  may  have  gained  or  lost  differently 
from  the  group  as  a  whole.)  ^ 

The  biggest  drop  in  voluntary  contributions  came  in 
foundation  grants.  Although  this  may  have  been  due,  in 
part,  to  the  fact  that  there  had  been  some  unusually  large 
grants  the  previous  year,  it  may  also  have  been  a  fore- 
taste of  things  to  come.  Many  of  those  who  observe 
foundations  closely  think  such  grants  will  be  harder  and 
harder  for  colleges  and  universities  to  come  by,  in  years 
to  come. 

FEARING  that  the  traditional  sources  of  revenue  may 
not  yield  the  necessary  funds,  college  and  uni- 
versity presidents  are  looking  more  and  more  to 
Washington  for  the  solution  to  their  financial 
problems. 

The  president  of  a  large  state  university  in  the  South, 
whose  views  are  typical  of  many,  told  us;  "Increased  fed- 
eral support  is  essential  to  the  fiscal  stability  of  the  col- 
leges and  universities  of  the  land.  And  such  aid  is  a  proper 
federal  expenditure." 

Most  of  his  colleagues  agreed — some  reluctantly.  Said 
the  president  of  a  college  in  Iowa:  "I  don't  like  it .  .  .  but 
it  may  be  inevitable."  Another  remarked:  "On  the  ques- 


tion of  federal  aid,  everybody  seems  to  be  running  to  the 
same  side  of  the  boat." 

More  federal  aid  is  almost  certain  to  come.  The  ques- 
tion is.  When?  And  in  what  form? 

Realism  compels  this  answer:  In  the  near  future,  the 
federal  government  is  unlikely  to  provide  substantial 
support  for  the  operating  expenses  of  the  country's  col- 
leges and  universities. 

The  war  in  Vietnam  is  one  reason.  Painful  effects  of 
war-prompted  economies  have  already  been  felt  on  the 
campuses.  The  effective  federal  funding  of  research  per 
faculty  member  is  declining.  Construction  grants  are  be- 
coming scarcer.  Fellowship  programs  either  have  been 
reduced  or  have  merely  held  the  line. 

Indeed,  the  changes  in  the  flow  of  federal  money  to  the 
campuses  may  be  the  major  event  that  has  brought  higher 
education's  financial  problems  to  their  present  head. 

Would  things  be  different  in  a  peacetime  economy? 
Many  college  and  university  administrators  think  so. 
They  already  are  planning  for  the  day  when  the  Vietnam 
war  ends  and  when,  the  thinking  goes,  huge  sums  of  fed- 
eral money  will  be  available  for  higher  education.  It  is  no 
secret  that  some  government  officials  are  operating  on 
the  same  assumption  and  are  designing  new  programs  of 
support  for  higher  education,  to  be  put  into  effect  when 
the  war  ends. 

Others  are  not  so  certain  the  postwar  money  flow  is 
that  inevitable.  One  of  the  doubters  is  Clark  Kerr,  former 
president  of  the  University  of  California  and  a  man  with 
considerable  first-hand  knowledge  of  the  relationship  be- 
tween higher  education  and  the  federal  government.  Mr. 
Kerr  is  inclined  to  believe  that  the  colleges  and  universi- 
ties will  have  to  fight  for  their  place  on  a  national  priority 
fist  that  will  be  crammed  with  a  number  of  other  pressing

problems:  air  and  water  pollution,  civil  rights,  and  the 
plight  of  the  nation's  cities,  to  name  but  a  few. 

One  thing  seems  clear:  The  pattern  of  federal  aid  must 
change  dramatically,  if  it  is  to  help  solve  the  financial 
problems  of  U.S.  higher  education.  Directly  or  indirectly, 
more  federal  dollars  must  be  applied  to  meeting  the  in- 
creasing costs  of  operating  the  colleges  and  universities, 
even  as  the  government  continues  its  support  of  students, 
of  building  programs,  and  of  research. 

IN  SEARCHING  for  a  Way  out  of  their  financial  difficul- 
ties, colleges  and  universities  face  the  hazard  that  their 
individual  interests  may  conflict.  Some  form  of  com- 
petition (since  the  institutions  are  many  and  the 
sources  of  dollars  few)  is  inevitable  and  healthy.  But  one 
form  of  competition  is  potentially  dangerous  and  de- 
structive and,  in  the  view  of  impartial  supporters  of  all 
institutions  of  higher  education,  must  be  avoided  at  all 
costs. 

This  is  a  conflict  between  private  and  public  colleges 
and  universities. 

In  simpler  times,  there  was  little  cause  for  friction. 
Public  institutions  received  their  funds  from  the  states. 
Private  institutions  received  their  funds  from  private 
sources. 

No  longer.  All  along  the  line,  and  with  increasing  fre- 
quency, both  types  of  institution  are  seeking  both  public 
and    private    support — often    from   the    same   sources: 

►  The  state  treasuries:  More  and  more  private  insti- 
tutions are  suggesting  that  some  form  of  state  aid  is  not 
only  necessary  but  appropriate.  A  number  of  states  have 
already  enacted  programs  of  aid  to  students  attending 
private  institutions.  Some  40  per  cent  of  the  state  ap- 
propriation for  higher  education  in  Pennsylvania  now 
goes  to  private  institutions. 

►  The  private  philanthropists:  More  and  more  public 
institutions  are  seeking  gifts  from  individuals,  founda- 
tions, and  corporations,  to  supplement  the  funds  they 
receive  from  the  state.  As  noted  earlier  in  this  report, 
their  efforts  are  meeting  with  growing  success. 

►  The  federal  government:  Both  public  and  private 
colleges  and  universities  receive  funds  from  Washington. 
But  the  different  types  of  institution  sometimes  disagree 
on  the  fundamentals  of  distributing  it. 

Should  the  government  help  pay  the  operating  costs  of 
colleges  and  universities  by  making  grants  directly  to  the 
institutions — perhaps  through  a  formula  based  on  enroll- 


ments? The  heads  of  many  public  institutions  are  inclined 
to  think  so.  The  heads  of  many  low-enrollment,  high- 
tuition  private  institutions,  by  contrast,  tend  to  favor  pro- 
grams that  operate  indirectly — perhaps  by  giving  enough 
money  to  the  students  themselves,  to  enable  them  to  pay 
for  an  education  at  whatever  institutions  they  might 
choose. 

Similarly,  the  strongest  opposition  to  long-term,  fed- 
erally underwritten  student-loan  plans — some  envisioning 
a  payback  period  extending  over  most  of  one's  lifetime — 
comes  from  public  institutions,  while  some  private-college 
and  university  leaders  find,  in  such  plans,  a  hope  that 
their  institutions  might  be  able  to  charge  "full-cost"  tui- 
tion rates  without  barring  students  whose  families  can't 
afford  to  pay. 

In  such  frictional  situations,  involving  not  only  billions 
of  dollars  but  also  some  very  deep-seated  convictions 
about  the  country's  educational  philosophy,  the  chances 
that  destructive  conflicts  might  develop  are  obviously  I 
great.  If  such  conflicts  were  to  grow,  they  could  only  sap 
the  energies  of  all  who  engage  in  them. 

IF  THERE  IS  INDEED  A  CRISIS  building  in  American  higher 
education,  it  is  not  solely  a  problem  of  meeting  the 
minimum  needs  of  our  colleges  and  universities  in 
the  years  ahead.  Nor,  for  most,  is  it  a  question  of 
survive  or  perish;  "colleges  and  universities  are  tough," 
as  one  president  put  it;  "they  have  survived  countless 
cataclysms  and  crises,  and  one  way  or  another  they  will 
endure." 

The  real  crisis  will  be  finding  the  means  of  providing 
the  quality,  the  innovation,  the  pioneering  that  the  nation 
needs,  if  its  system  of  higher  education  is  to  meet  the 
demands  of  the  morrow. 

Not  only  must  America's  colleges  and  universities 
serve  millions  more  students  in  the  years  ahead;  they 
must  also  equip  these  young  people  to  live  in  a  world  that 
is  changing  with  incredible  swiftness  and  complexity.  At 
the  same  time,  they  must  carry  on  the  basic  research  on 
which  the  nation's  scientific  and  technological  advance- 
ment rests.  And  they  must  be  ever-ready  to  help  meet  the 
immediateand  long-range  needsofsociety;  ever-responsive 
to  society's  demands. 
At  present,  the  questions  outnumber  the  answers. 
►  How  can  the  United  States  make  sure  that  its  col- 
leges and  universities  not  only  will  accomplish  the  mini- 
mum task  but  will,  in  the  words  of  one  corporate  leader. 


N 


OTHiNG  IS  MORE  IMPORTANT  than  the  Critical  and 
knowledgeable  interest  of  our  alumni.  It  cannot 
possibly  be  measured  in  merely  financial  terms. 

— A  university  president 


provide  "an  educational  system  adequate  to  enable  us  to 
live  in  the  complex  environment  of  this  century?" 

►  Do  we  really  want  to  preserve  the  diversity  of  an 
educational  system  that  has  brought  the  country  a 
strength  unknown  in  any  other  time  or  any  other  place? 
And,  if  so,  can  we? 

►  How  can  we  provide  every  youth  with  as  much 
education  as  he  is  qualified  for? 

►  Can  a  balance  be  achieved  in  the  sources  of  higher 
education's  support,  so  that  public  and  private  institutions 
can  flourish  side  by  side? 

►  How  can  federal  money  best  be  channeled  into  our 
colleges  and  universities  without  jeopardizing  their  inde- 
pendence and  without  discouraging  support  either  from 
the  state  legislatures  or  from  private  philanthropy? 

The  answers  will  come  painfully;  there  is  no  panacea. 
Quick  solutions,  fashioned  in  an  atmosphere  of  crisis,  are 
likely  to  compound  the  problem.  The  right  answers  will 
emerge  only  from  greater  understanding  on  the  part  of 
the  country's  citizens,  from  honest  and  candid  discussion 
of  the  problems,  and  from  the  cooperation  and  support  of 
all  elements  of  society. 

The  president  of  a  state  university  in  the  Southwest  told 
us:  "Among  state  universities,  nothing  is  more  important 


than  the  growing  critical  and  knowledgeable  interest  of 
our  alumni.  That  interest  leads  to  general  support.  It 
cannot  possibly  be  measured  in  merely  financial  terms." 

A  private  college  president  said:  "The  greatest  single 
source  of  improvement  can  come  from  a  realization  on 
the  part  of  a  broad  segment  of  our  population  that  higher 
education  must  have  support.  Not  only  will  people  have 
to  give  more,  but  more  will  have  to  give." 

But  do  people  understand?  A  special  study  by  the 
Council  for  Financial  Aid  to  Education  found  that: 

►  82  per  cent  of  persons  in  managerial  positions  or 
the  professions  do  not  consider  American  business  to  be 
an  important  source  of  gift  support  for  colleges  and 
universities. 

►  59  per  cent  of  persons  with  incomes  of  $10,000  or 
over  do  not  think  higher  education  has  financial  problems. 

►  52  per  cent  of  college  graduates  apparently  are  not 
aware  that  their  alma  mater  has  financial  problems. 

To  America's  colleges  and  universities,  these  are  the 
most  discouraging  revelations  of  all.  Unless  the  American 
people — especially  the  college  and  university  alumni — 
can  come  alive  to  the  reality  of  higher  education's  im- 
pending crisis,  then  the  problems  of  today  will  be  the 
disasters  of  tomorrow.

men,  he  fell  mortally  wounded."

When  Giving  Can  Save 


by   Philip   R.   Converse 

Attorney   at   Law 

Assistant   Director  of   Development 


"Toward  A  Destiny  of  Excellence"  Through  Wise  Estate 

Planning 


Anyone  who  pays  income  tax  knows  how  much 
money  is  talcen  out  of  his  salary  each  year.  Probably 
something  not  quite  so  well  known  is  the  size  of  one 
lump  sum  that  may  disappear  through  the  Federal 
estate  tax  in  property  passing  from  one  person  to  an- 
other. I  would  like  to  take  this  opportunity  to  briefly  dis- 
cuss and  illustrate  how  additional  income  and  capital 
can  be  saved  through  wise  estate  planning. 

We  shall  assume  a  hypothetical  situation  and  show 
how,  through  careful  planning,  you  might  leave  a  sizeable 
gift  to  Millsaps  College  and  yet  retain  more  income  for 
your  survivors  than  if  you  had  left  a  simple  will  (out- 
right distribution  of  one's  estate  to  the  wife  and  then 
she  in  turn  leaving  everything  to  the  children)  as  8  out 
of  every  10  Americans  do  today. 

Many  people  fail  to  plan  their  estate  or  even  draw  a 
will  because  they  actually  don't  know  what  is  included 
in  an  estate  for  tax  purposes  and,  consequently,  don't 
feel  that  their  meager  belongings  need  that  attention. 
For  tax  purposes,  virtually  everything  you  own,  control, 
or  have  rights  to,  will  be  considered  part  of  your  estate. 
You  can  make  a  rough  estimate  of  your  own  estate  by 
including  the  following:  cash  in  your  savings  and  check- 
ing accounts;  stocks,  bonds,  notes  and  mortgages;  face 
value  of  life  insurance  policies,  including  personal  and 
group  plans;  benefits  coming  to  you  as  participant  in 
pension  or  profit  sharing  plans;  jointly  owned  property 
(unless  survivor  can  prove  his  contribution);  homes  or 
other  parcels  of  real  estate;  car,  boat  and  other  personal 
possessions;  inheritances  or  trusts,  some  rights  over 
which  may  be  taxable.  When  you  total  these  items, 
chances  are  that  your  estate  is  worth  a  lot  more  than  you 
would  have  thought. 

Our  tax  laws  are  designed  to  encourage  the  taxpayer 
to  give  to  charitable  and  worthy  causes  as  defined  by 
Section  2055  Subsection  (a)  of  the  Internal  Revenue  Code, 
which  reads,  "For  purposes  of  the  tax  imposed  by  Sec- 
tion 2001,  the  value  of  taxable  estate  shall  be  determined 
by  deducting  from  the  value  of  the  gross  estate  the 
amount  of  all  bequests,  legacies,  devises,  or  transfers 
(including  the  interest  which  falls  into  any  such  bequest, 
legacy,  devise,  transfer  or  power,  if  the  disclaimer  is 
made  before  the  date  prescribed  for  the  filing  of  the 
estate  tax  return)." 

Every  estate  is  allowed  a  $60,000  exemption  and  it 
is  also  possible  for  a  man  to  pass  one-half  of  his  estate, 
after  deducting  settlement  costs,  to  his  wife  free  of  tax. 

Now  let's  assume  a  hypothetical  situation  —  the 
Smith  family.  Mr.  Smith  has  property  and  other  assets 
which  had  a  total  value  of  $250,000  and  passes  his  estate 
under  a  simple  will,  i.e.,  leaving  everything  to  his  wife. 
The  first  loss  to  Mr.  Smith's  estate  will  be  the  estate 
settlement  costs,  which  in  this  case  will  amount  to  about 
$20,000.  The  $20,000  figure  is  based  on  the  national  aver- 
age of  estate  settlement  costs,  which  is  8%  and  includes 
all  final  expenses,  attorney  and  executor's  fees.  Mr. 
Smith  can  pass  one-half  of  his  adjusted  gross  estate, 
after  settlement,  by  virtue  of  the  marital  deduction,  thus 
leaving  a  taxable  estate  of  $115,000.  Of  this  $115,000,  Mr. 


Smith's  estate  is  also  entitled  to  the  $60,000  exemption 
which  is  available  to  every  United  States  citizen  or  resi- 
dent. Mr.  Smith  pays  estate  tax  on  $55,000  which  amounts 
to  $8,250,  thus  leaving  his  wife  a  total  estate  of  $221,750. 
($115,000  —  $8,250  =$106,250   +   $115,000   =   $221,750). 

When  Mrs.  Smith  dies,  her  $221,750  estate  will  suffer 
a  tax  of  $33,903  plus  the  8%  settlement  cost  amounting 
to  $17,740,  which  means  her  children  will  have  at  their 
disposal  a  total  of  $170,107. 

Now  let  us  look  at  the  same  hypothetical  situation 
with  one  change.  Suppose  the  gross  estate  again  is 
$250,000.  The  same  amount  of  $115,000  passes  tax  free 
to  his  wife  and  the  other  $115,000  is  taxed  as  was  be- 
fore —  $8,250.  At  this  point  Mr.  Smith  set  up  a  trust  for 
the  remaining  $106,750.  The  trust  could  be  set  up  so  that 
Mrs.  Smith  could  receive  the  income  from  this  trust  for 
the  remainder  of  her  life,  and  then  the  principal  amount 
would  pass  tax  free  to  Mrs.  Smith's  children  after  her 
death.  Thus  only  the  $115,000  which  passed  to  Mrs.  Smith 
under  the  marital  deduction  would  be  taxed  and  burdened 
with  settlement  costs.  Settlement  costs  on  the  $115,000 
would  amount  to  $9,200  and  the  tax  would  be  $6,076, 
leaving  $99,724  to  pass  to  the  children  in  addition  to  the 
$106,750  in  the  trust,  making  a  total  of  $206,474  available 
to  the  children  after  Mrs.  Smith's  death.  So  we  can  see 
with  the  addition  of  a  trust  in  contrast  to  the  standard 
simple  will,  we  have  saved  the  children  $36,367. 

Now  let  us  take  the  same  hypothesis  one  step  fur- 
ther. Suppose  Mr.  Smith  was  also  very  interested  in  Mill- 
saps  College  and  wished  to  provide  for  his  family  and 
then  set  up  a  scholarship  fund  at  the  College.  Mr.  Smith's 
attorney  suggested  that  he  consider  making  a  bequest 
to  Millsaps  in  the  amount  of  10%  of  his  gross  estate, 
which  would  be  $25,000.  He  wished  Millsaps  to  receive 
this  gift  following  the  death  of  both  he  and  his  wife.  Un- 
der this  arrangement,  and  because  of  the  gift  to  Millsaps 
at  his  wife's  death,  Mr.  Smith's  estate  gained  a  charitable 
tax  deduction  based  on  the  $25,000  gift. 

Again,  Mr.  Smith's  gross  estate  is  $250,000  and  after 
deductions  his  wife  received  outright  $115,000.  However, 
the  other  half  of  Mr.  Smith's  estate  would  be  taxable 
only  to  the  extent  of  $4,232  rather  than  $8,250  because  of 
the  charitable  g.ift  to  Millsaps;  and  the  trust  for  Mrs. 
Smith's  benefit  would  amount  to  $110,768  instead  of 
$106,750.  Mrs.  Smith  would  enjoy  the  same  benefits  under 
the  trust  as  before  but  would  have  more  capital  working 
for  her  during  her  life.  Then  at  her  death,  taxes  and 
costs  would  be  the  same,  $6,076  and  $9,200  respectively. 
Mrs.  Smith  would  leave  $99,724  to  her  children  who 
would  also  receive  $85,768  from  the  trust  and  Millsaps 
would  receive  the  $25,000  gift.  Actually  the  children  would 
receive  a  total  of  $185,492  which  is  $15,000  more  than  they 
would  receive  if  the  same  estate  was  distributed  through 
a  simple  will. 

I  have  tried  to  point  out  just  one  possible  example 
of  wise  estate  planning  whereby  you  can  provide  for  your 
survivors  and  also  help  Millsaps  College  reach  her 
"Destiny  of  Excellence."  For  further  information  on  re- 
lated matters,  please  contact  me  at  the  Development 
Office  at  Millsaps  College.

Presidential   Views 

hij  Dr.  Benjamin  B.  Graves 


Throughout  the  78  year  history  of  Millsaps  College, 
a  common  thread  of  strength  has  prevailed.  This  con- 
sistent thread  is  the  high  quality  of  the  teaching  function 
in  the  College.  Such  names  as  Murrah,  Moore,  Watkins, 
Hamilton,  Mitchell,  Swearingen,  White,  Lin,  Craig,  Good- 
man, Price,  Reicken,  Smith,  Key,  Sullivan,  Harrell,  and 
Sanders  invariably  come  up  in  alumni  gatherings.  These 
people  left  indelible  imprints  on  the  minds  of  thousands 
of  Millsaps  alumni.  They  have  been  characterized  by 
three  particular  devotions:  to  their  discipline,  to  the 
student,  and  to  the  total  institution. 

Other  interesting  attributes  seem  to  have  been  versa- 
tility and  dedication  to  their  church.  Dr.  Milton  Christian 
White,  for  example,  was  a  professor  of  English  and  ap- 
parently excelled  in  this  discipline.  Yet  he  still  found 
time  to  direct  dramatic  productions,  coach  the  debating 
team,  coach  the  tennis  team,  and  teach  in  his  church. 
Dr.  Ross  Moore's  talents  have  similarly  ranged  over  a 
wide  spectrum.  Though  he  has  gained  genuine  promi- 
nence as  a  historian,  his  initial  training  and  teaching 
responsibilities  were  in  the  area  of  chemistry.  Like  Dr. 
White,  he  has  been  a  great  contributor  to  his  church  and 
to  that  facet  of  college  student  leadership  exemplified 
by  Omicron  Delta  Kappa. 

Looking  at  the  college  teaching  profession  from  a 
national  point  of  view,  there  seems  to  have  been  a  signi- 
ficant shift  in  the  last  two  decades  in  the  attitudes  of 
the  teaching  profession.  The  trend  is  toward  a  primary 
concern  for  one's  discipline  with  a  lesser  concern  for  the 
student  and  for  the  institution.  It  is  especially  noticeable 
in  the  larger  institution.  This  shift,  in  the  opinion  of 
many  observers,  may  account  for  much  of  the  unrest 
and  turmoil  existing  on  many  college  and  university 
campuses  today. 

Though  the  trend  can  be  explained  by  a  number  of 
factors,   perhaps  the  most  important  is  the  reversal   in 


the  supply  and  demand  situation  for  college  and  univer 
sity  professors.  From  the  founding  of  Millsaps  in  1890  tc 
a  period  roughly  concomitant  with  the  end  of  World  Wai 
n,  the  supply  of  college  teachers  exceeded  the  demand 
and  institutions  could  and  did  expect  an  element  of  loyal 
ty  toward  the  student  and  toward  the  institution.  In  the 
last  two  decades,  however,  this  demand  situation  has 
completely  reversed.  The  reversal  in  supply-demanc 
relationships  has  been  felt  in  many  ways,  the  mosi 
noticeable  of  which  is  the  rapid  increase  in  faculty  salar 
ies.  Though  this  increase  is  both  desirable  and  necessary 
if  the  college  professor  is  to  remain  near  an  equitable 
position  relative  to  his  professional  peers  in  business,  in- 
dustry and  government,  it  has  created  many  problems 
for  institutions.  The  smaller  private  college  has  ex- 
perienced financial  pressures  beyond  those  of  most  other 
institutions.  This  pressure  is  most  evident  in  the  recruit- 
ing retention  of  an  outstanding  faculty. 

Along  with  the  problem,  there  is,  I  think,  a  unique 
opportunity  for  the  private  liberal  arts  college.  Dr.  Byron 
Trippet,  President  of  the  Independent  College  Funds  of 
America  and  for  many  years  a  very  successful  Dean 
and  President  of  Wabash  College  in  Indiana,  recently 
spoke  at  Millsaps.  He  expressed  the  opinion  here  that 
our  type  of  college  is  the  remaining  place  where  the 
older  tradition  of  triangular  loyalty  to  the  discipline,  to 
the  student,  and  to  the  institution  still  prevails.  He  thinks 
this  is  our  great  advantage,  and  I  am  inclined  to  agree. 

It  shall  always  be  our  purpose  at  Millsaps  to  main- 
tain the  tradition  of  distinguished  and  meaningful  col- 
lege teaching.  Our  professors  must  exert  every  ounce  of 
their  energy  toward  making  their  contributions  a  genuine 
experience  for  the  students  and  a  source  of  pride  to  the 
institution.  By  so  doing,  they  will  not  only  contribute 
to  the  total  development  of  the  student  but,  I  think,  to 
their  own  integrity  and  satisfaction  as  an  individual 
who  is  making  a  significant  contribution  to  Millsaps,  to 
the  State,  to  the  nation  and  indeed  to  the  world.

22  In  Memoriam 

The  senior  member  of  the  Millsaps 
faculty,  Dr.  Ross  Moore,  is  going  to 
join  the  college's  part-time  faculty 
soon.  In  this  issue  of  Major  Notes, 
Ronald  Goodbread,  a  former  student 
of  Dr.  Moore  who  is  now  in  Graduate 
School  working  toward  his  Ph.D.,  tells 
of  the  effect  Dr.  Moore  has  had  on 
the  college.  The  issue  also  contains 
a  reprint  of  Dr.  Moore's  address  to 
the  Alumni  Day  Banquet,  which  gives 
some  insight  into  the  college  as  seen 
by  this  able  and  loved  teacher. 

As  Dr.  Moore  said  in  his  Alumni 
Day  address,  "In  one  respect  Millsaps 
will  not  be  as  good  next  year  because 
Elizabeth  Craig  will  be  on  halftime." 
Miss  Craig,  Professor  of  French,  is 
the  subject  of  an  interesting  article 
found  in  Major  Notes'  files  which  is 
being  published  in  this  issue  without 
the  consent  of  the  unknown  author.

And  The  Threshold  of  the  Mind 


by   Ronald   Goodbread,   '66 


Writing  about  Dr.  Ross  Henderson  Moore  ought  to 
give  the  historian  an  opportunity  to  implement  his  sel- 
dom-used reserve  of  superlatives.  It  is  the  paradox  of 
human  intelligence  that  we  faU  to  find  precise  ex- 
pression for  those  thoughts  that  are  most  worthy  of 
communication.  And  those  qualities  that  are  mandatory 
to  emulate  the  best  of  our  species  are  unfortunately 
seldom  communicable.  Yet  even  the  ordinary  reservoir 
of  third  degree  comparisons  is  over-worked  when  used 
to  describe  Professor  Moore.  The  sole  solution,  perhaps, 
Is  to  progress  the  praenomen  to  "Professor  Most." 

It  is  customary  in  essays  of  this  nature  for  the 
author  to  insert  some  remark  about  his  inadequacy  to 
deal  with  the  topic,  so  that  the  subject  will  seem  that 
much  greater  or  more  profound  and  of  course,  to  show 
that  the  author  is  endowed  with  the  requisite  measure 
of  humility.  The  first  purpose  is  academic  and  the  last 
would  be  also  but  for  the  publication  of  this  little  effort 
in  the  distinguished  journal  the  reader  now  holds  before 
him.  The  writer,  nevertheless,  profers  his  apologies  ab 
initio  for  his  failure  to  select  and  place  his  words  with 
the  finesse  and  expertise  that  are  essential  to  do  the 
subject  justice.  The  effort,  he  realizes,  as  full  of  respect, 
gratitude  and  affection  as  it  is,  is  not  adequate.  As  Mr. 
Justice  Frankfurter  remarked,  "Justice  must  satisfy 
the  appearance  of  justice."  And  while  inadequate  words 
are  logicaUy  the  daughters  of  the  earth,  the  admirable 
qualities  which  we  praise  here  in  Ross  Moore  are  the 
sons   of  heaven.   The   bread,   however,   is   herewith  cast 


upon  the  waters  with  the  sincere  prayer  that  the  Eternj 
Father  Strong  to  Save  will  appreciate  it  as  the  best  of  th 
work  that  a  poor  etmylogical  miller  has  to  offer  on  b( 
half  of  genuine   greatness. 

At  the  outset  it  should  be  noted  that  not  always  ha 
that    greatness    been    assumed.    Shortly    after    Founder 
Day  in   1927,   President   David   Martin  Key   of  MiUsap 
College   wrote   to   the   eminent   American   historian,    Di 
WiUiam   E.    Dodd   at  the   University   of   Chicago   askin 
the    Professor    to    "Give    me    a   frank    and    confidentij 
statement  as  to  the  success  and  worthwhile-ness  of  th 
work  Mr.  Moore  has  done  (on  his  Master's  Degree)  .  . 
and  whether  you  consider  him  to  have  the  ability  an 
the  training  to  become  head  of  a  department  of  Histor 
Ln  a  College  of  Liberal  Arts."  Unfortunately  Dr.  Dodd' 
reply  has  been  lost  with  some  of  President  Key's  paper: 
but  one  might  hazard  a  guess  that  the  requested  repoi 
was   encouraging  for  the  young   professor,   who  was   i 
that  time  not  yet  twenty-four  years  of  age.  Contrastingly 
thirty-seven  years  later,  there  was  virtually  unanimou 
agreement  with  the  thoughts  of  Dr.  E.  ;M.  CoUins,  Jr 
which  were  embodied  in  a  letter  to  Dr.  Moore,  saying, 
I    cannot   think   of   a   better   goal   to   which   any 
young  teacher  could  aspire  than  to  be  more  like 
you.    For  you   are   one   of  the  rare  talents   who 
can   combine    scholarship  with   warmth,    humor, 
and  understanding.  In  my  mind  you  are  the  em- 
bodiment of  all  that  is  good  and  noble  at  Millsaps 
College. 


> 


When  Ross  Moore  was  enrolled  at  grad- 
uate school  at  the  University  of  Chicago, 
Millsaps  President  David  Martin  Key  wrote 
a  faculty  member  at  Chicago  asking  for  "a 
frank  and  confidential  statement  as  to  the 
success  and  worthwhile-ness  of  the  work 
Mr.  Moore  has  done  ....  and  whether  you 
consider  him  to  have  the  ability  ....  to 
become  head  of  a  Department  of  History 
in  a  College  of  Liberal  Arts." 


One  is  prompted  to  ask  what  was  the  constant,  the 
Prime  Directive,  during  those  intervening  years  and 
since  then,  that  has  kept  Ross  Henderson  Moore 
synonymous   with   the   institution  we   all   love. 

The  student  who  knows  Dr.  Moore  realizes  that 
although  he  is  a  man  of  inspiring  intelligence  and 
fluent  advocacy,  the  student  has  learned  from  this  good 
man  that  vast  erudition  is  no  substitute  for  creative 
imagination.  To  one  trained  in  Constitutional  Law,  the 
raison  d'etre  de  Professor  Moore  recalls  the  statement 
in  the  great  academic  freedom  case,  Wieman  v.  Upde- 
graff:  "Teachers  must  fulfill  their  function  by  precept 
and  practice,  by  the  very  atmosphere  which  they  gene- 
rate; they  must  be  exemplars  of  open-mindedness  and 
free  inquiry." 

Perhaps  Ross  Moore  can  stand  firmly  in  the  affirma- 
tion of  teaching  because  he  too  had  an  example  that 
testified  daily  for  those  values  he  represents  to  us  to- 
day. His  father.  Dr.  James  Adolphus  Moore,  Professor 
and  Chairman  of  the  first  Department  of  Mathematics 
and  Astronomy  at  Millsaps  College,  was  recognized  as 
a  scholar  and  a  gentleman.  Upon  his  loss  in  1908,  the 
Bobashela  eulogized  him  by  remarking  that,  "So  single 
was  his  aim  in  life,  so  constant  his  devotion  to  duty, 
and  withal  so  unique  was  his  personality,  that  he  is  be- 
come an  integral  part  of  the  history  of  Millsaps  College." 
Indeed  only  twelve  years  of  the  entire  history  of  Millsaps 
College  have  passed  without  a  Moore  on  the  campus. 
His  son   Ross  has   extended  his   heritage   to  the   fullest. 


R.  H.  Moore  is  constant.  He  is  not  fundamentalist.  He 
reaches  toward  the  realization  of  truth  in  the  daily 
performance  of  his  duty.  He  does  not  suggest  simple 
answers  for  complex  problems,  nor  is  he  easy  prey  for 
the  age-old  snake-oil  medicine  peddler  who  sells  sweet- 
tasting  colored  water  panaceas  for  the  ills  of  academic 
or  political  society.  There  is,  pointedly,  no  disposition 
on  his  part  to  "Let  George  do  it." 

This  aversion  to  perforated  logic,  this  awareness 
that  there  are  no  simple  or  easy  solutions  to  the  in- 
creasingly viscous  world  that  has  come  about  in  his 
own  lifetime  is,  perhaps,  what  led  Dr.  Moore  away  from 
the  clinical  discipline  of  the  chemistry  faculty  position 
he  first  occupied  on  the  Millsaps  staff  in  1923.  It  moved 
him  to  the  life  of  the  social  sciences  and  the  humanities 
and  made  of  him  an  historian.  The  same  problems  that 
first  aroused  his  concern  still  surround  us,  as  they  have 
for  all  of  his  lifetime. 

Thirty-six  years  ago  the  Chairman  of  the  Department 
of  History  at  Millsaps  College  was  telling  students  that. 
The  acknowledged  need  in  the  world  today  is 
intelligent  leadership  ...  If  freshmen  could 
realize  just  how  much  their  own  education  de- 
pends on  individual  thinking,  they  might  help  us 
to  remedy  a  serious  situation  .  .  .  People  who  do 
things  alike  .  .  .  will  learn  alike  .  .  .  (and)  will 
always  act  alike  -  so  many  automatons  ...  A 
college  should  be  a  place  where  students  learn 
to  think   for   themselves    .... 


If  men  are  born  free,  an  issue  still  in  doubt  in  our 
own  time,  then  the  duty  of  a  liberal  education  is  to 
help  free  men  to  become  wise.  The  rigidity  of  illiberalism 
will  not  survive  in  a  true  academic  community.  What 
Dr.  Moore  was  challenging  the  1932  freshman  class  to 
do  was  to  liberate  their  thinlcing  patterns  as  well  as 
their  thoughts.  If  college  is  not  a  place  for  a  newer  out- 
look it  is  only  a  continuation  of  high  school.  Although 
no  evidence  that  means  were  available  to  carry  this 
philosophy  into  the  reality  of  alteration,  diversification, 
and  even  transformation  of  the  college  extant  was  evi- 
dent, it  is  a  striking  fact  that  each  of  does  indeed  re- 
member a  different  Millsaps,  altered,  diversified  and 
transformed,  until  today  those  who  advocate  policy 
changes  are  free  to  do  so.  In  the  center  of  change,  how- 
ever, there  is  the  constant:  each  of  us  remembers  the 
same  Ross,  Moore. 


Subsequently,  today,  many  other  administrative 
circles  do  not  exercise  commensurate  logic  by  allowing 
students  to  be  taught  to  think  for  themselves  and  to 
function  independently,  while  at  the  same  time  failing 
to  allow  these  lessons  to  be  put  into  practice  within 
their  own  academic  communities. 


Historically  the  university  originated  without  an 
administration.  At  least  partially  its  origins  were  in  the 
student  guilds  of  the  thirtennth  century  in  which  the 
teachers  were  hired,  fired,  and  directed  by  the  students. 
The  larger  university  system  that  has  since  developed 
should  function  —  as  Millsaps  does  today  —  on  an  inter- 
personal faculty-student  relationship,  with  emphasis  plac- 
ed on  the  needs  and  the  development  of  the  individual 
student.  To  the  extent  that  any  administration  interferes 
with  this  relationship,  to  that  extent  the  administration 
has  overstepped  its  practical  purpose. 


Perhaps  it  is  partly  to  avoid  this  risk  altogether 
that  Ross  Moore  has  never  yielded  to  the  temptation  to 
become  a  college  administrator,  although  that  oppor- 
tunity has  been  offered  him  (and  although  that  very  op- 
portunity is  the  goal  upon  which  many  of  us  place  the 
highest  value,  intent  and  aspiration).  As  is  evidenced 
by  his  Alumni  Day  Speech,  reprinted  elsewhere  in  this 
issue.  Dr.  Moore  defends  this  point  of  view  with  as  much 
adamacy  as  his  personality  can  command.  Moreover, 
he  has  felt  this  way  since  he  himself  was  a  sophomore 
in  college.  To  him,  if  the  student  did  not  diversify  him- 
self he  was  "wasting  his  time."  He  has  led  in  student 
activism  and  on  its  behalf  by  establishing  programs 
ranging  from  Omicron  Delta  Kappa,  to  the  History  401 
Senior  Seminar,  to  the  International  Relations  Club.  He 
has  advocated  change  even  when  it  was  hazardous  to  do 
so.  In  1937,  the  International  Relations  Club  under  his 
sponsorship  took  a  step  which  at  that  time  was  nothing 
short  of  ethnocentric  "treason,"  when  the  members  wir- 
ed Mississippi  Senators  to  vote  in  favor  of  the  Gavagan 
anti-lynching  bill  then  before  the  United  States  Senate. 
"Such  a  vote  will  require  courage  on  your  part,"  they 
said,  "but  will,  we  believe,  reflect  the  sentiments  of 
responsible,  clear-thinking  Mississippians."  In  short,  as 
one  of  Dr.  Moore's  former  students  pertinantly  observ- 
ed, "You  see,  Ross  hasn't  changed;  the  people  around 
Ross  have  changed." 


"He  is  become  an  integral  part  of  the  history  of 
Millsaps    College."

"Teachers  must  fulfill  their  function  by  precept  and  practice,  by  the 
very  atmosphere  which  they  generate;  they  must  be  exemplars  of  open- 
mindedness  and  free  inquiry." 


Approximately  one-half  of  the  Millsaps  Student  Body 
goes  on  after  the  bachelor'3  degree  to  do  graduate  and 
advanced  graduate  work.  While  this  is  a  great  adventure, 
there  is  also  a  great  liability  —  particularly  for  a  Mill- 
saps  history  major.  He  incurs  the  risk  of  meeting  for 
the  second  and  third  times  in  graduate  school  what  he 
had  already  learned  as  a  Junior  in  college  from  Dr. 
Moore.  He  faces  the  danger  of  not  being  exposed  to 
many  new  ideas  and  concepts.  Fresh  from  the  active 
confrontation  of  an  intelligent  teacher  and  an  active 
student  body,  he  often  finds  in  the  larger  university 
people  not  seeking  an  education  but  rather  a  ticket  to 
middle  class  consumption  standards.  The  desire  for  suc- 
cess in  the  pursuit  of  excellence  which  characterized 
his  period  of  study  with  Professor  Moore  ai  that  stage 
receives  its  greatest  test.  Now  the  burden  br-comes 
especially  heavy  and  the  urgency  to  rest,  to  cry  respite, 
to  falter,  is  agonizing.  For  those  who  can  survive  this 
tribulation  the  reward  is  not  repose  but  is  fulfillment. 

In    this    effort    the    preparation    furnished    by    Ross 


Moore  has  been  unusually  successful.  In  history  alone, 
the  names  of  David  Donald,  John  K.  Bettersworth,  James 
S.  Ferguson,  Otis  A.  Singletary,  Robert  Haynes  and  the 
late  Vernon  L.  Wharton,  are  among  the  most  distinguish- 
ed. The  Education  of  Historians  in  the  United  States 
presents  a  list  of  the  colleges  and  universities  which,  in 
the  period  1936-1956,  provided  the  baccalaureate  degrees 
of  men  receiving  the  Ph.D.  in  history.  Of  the  more  than 
one  thousand  accredited  institutions  of  higher  learning 
in  the  United  States,  Millsaps  made  the  list  in  the  top 
138.  This  is  particularly  meritorious  since  the  size  of  the 
respective  departments  is  a  factor  which  must  be  taken 
into  consideration  to  achieve  an  accurate  comparison. 
Only  four  of  the  colleges  whose  history  departments  had 
a  better  record  than  the  one  chaired  by  Dr.  R.  H. 
Moore,  were  smaller  than  Millsaps  in  enrollment.  All 
of  this  points  to  the  fact  that  there  is  one  man  who  has 
been  at  least  substantially  responsible  for  an  atmosphere 
of  develpoment  and  achievement  in  the  profession  of 
history. 


He  is  a  man  with  a  non-fundamentalist  open- 
mindedness.  He  lives  his  doctrine  of  individual  responsi- 
bility and  his  warnn  humaneness  testifies  for  the  com- 
mon decency  and  the  dignity  of  mankind.  Through  him 
we  are  caught  up  here  and  now  in  a  world  of  remoter 
horizons,  on  a  tertiary  plane  of  hyperactive  and  ultra- 
sensitive perception,  far  removed  from  the  clamour  of 
outside  society.  We  know  first  and  foremost  that  we  are 
but  ioti  on  this  speck  of  dust  called  Earth,  far  out  in 
an  ever-expanding  universe.  To  waste  the  flickering  in- 
stant of  a  lifetime  is  beneath  the  dignity  of  humanity. 
This   Ross  Moore  has  taught  us. 

There  is,  therefore,  a  purpose  driving  each  of  his 
students;  there  is  a  force  that  acts  a  priori  which  does 
not  admit  failure,  does  not  allow  respite  or  acquiescence 
to  the  problems  which  we  set  out  to  ameliorate.  We  pre- 
ceive   as  did  Alfred   Lord   Tennyson  that 

The  lights  begin  to  twinkle  from  the  rocks; 
The  long  day  wanes;  the  slow  moon  climbs;  the  deep 
Moans  around  with  many  voices.  Come,  my  friends, 
'Tis  not  too  late  to  seek  a  newer  world. 

We  guide  ourselves  in  the  maelstrom  of  education  by  the 

inextinguishable   star  of  excellence. 

Leadership  is  the  pursuit  of  excellence.  It  is,  as 
Professor  Vincent  Scully  of  Yale  University  says,  what 
makes  the  student  realize  that  "You  want  things  done 
that  nature  doesn't  want."  It  is,  as  Dr.  Ross  Moore  has 
said,   perhaps  the   world's   greatest   need   today. 

The  teaching  profession  should  —  but  it  is  the  only 
learned  profession  that  does  not  — -  have  a  definition 
for  malfeasance  of  practice.  However,  if  a  guideline 
is  ever  to  be  drawn,  the  framers  would  profit  consider- 
ably by  taking  a  long  look  at  the  leadership  qualities  of 
Ross  Henderson  Moore.  For  here  is  one  of  academe's 
finest  exemplars. 

Many  professors  throw  up  a  smokescreen  of  ac- 
ademic regalia  and  professorial  jargon  to  achieve  a 
facade  to  deflect  and  dispell  questions.  Dr.  Moore  pre- 
sents a  demeanor  which  prompts  and  encourages  in- 
tellectual curiosity.  Here  is  the  teacher  to  whom  the 
student  professes  his  ignorance  rather  than  attempting 
to  hide  it.  And  it  is  this  profession  of  ignorance  more 
than  anything  else  which  contributes  to  its  own  demise. 
We  become  wiser  as  we  recognize  our  ignorance. 

The  student,  then,  is  concerned  with  feeling  even 
more  than  with  knowledge  and  thought.  The  flow  of  in- 
formation and  persuasion  that  comes  from  the  lectures 
of  Professor  Moore  echos  in  the  long,  silent  chambers 
of  the  mind  and  creates  in  each  student  a  rapport  and 
a  curiosity.  The  student  who  commonly  looks  at  the 
neck  of  the  fellow  in  front  of  him,  or  who  spends  the 
class  period  reading  and  augmenting  the  inter-fraternity 
memoranda  on  the  desk  top,  becomes  a  participator  in 
the  learning  process.  The  Professor  quietly  reassures 
the  student,  with  a  "Well,  I  don't  believe  that  had  taken 
place  yet,"  in  response  to  an  erroneous  answer.  He  en- 
courages response  with  what  the  attorney  would  call 
leading  questions.  And  he  binds  all  this  up  with  his 
most  strategic  weapon;  his  contemporary  attitude.  This 
is  not  only  a  lecture  style  in  the  first  person  plural,  but 
it  is  a  quality  inherent  in  Millsaps  College  itself: 
"changing  permanence." 


"Ross  Moore  offers  not  so  much  advice  on  facts,  as 
the  realization  of  capacity  and  the  possibility  of  accom- 
plishment." 


Dr.  Moore's  constancy  does  not  mean  that  his  is 
the  same  intelect  it  was  last  year,  or  ten,  or  forty  years 
ago  (in  spite  of  the  fact  that  those  who  knew  him  in 
1923  say  he  hasn't  changed  a  bit  in  physical  appearance). 
The  scholarship  is  the  same,  the  animation  is  perhaps 
tempered  more  by  dignity  than  by  age,  but  the  attitude 
is  staunchly  contemporary.  Here  we  find  a  man,  who 
can  still  teach  a  respectable  course  in  chemistry,  making 
history  a  vital  force  in  the  lives  of  men.  This  is  not  to 
suggest  that  his  courses  are  personality-centered.  They 
are  not;  they  are  problem-centered.  It  is,  however,  his 
personality  that  facilitates  the  solving  of  the  problems 
he  presents.  He  does  not  use  the  Socratic  method  very 


8 


much;  he  explains  things  with  a  clarity  and  lucidity 
that  usually  comes  only  in  the  fourth  or  fifth  draft  of  the 
expert  writer's  text.  The  art  of  making  complex  and 
difficult  ideas  seem  clear  and  easy  to  groups  is  the  hall- 
mark of  the  true  teacher.  He  does  not  present  the  stu- 
dent with  the  answers.  This,  Professor  Moore  has  said, 
is  nothing  short  of  pushing  buttons  on  human  adding 
machines  so  that  the  students  will  click  with  the  in- 
evitable answers  on  an  examination.  What  he  does  is 
to  lead  the  student  to  the  verge  of  a  chain  of  reasoning 
that  enables  the  astute  observer  to  discover  the  solution 
even  before  the  final  question  is  concluded.  "You  know, 
Ross  has  ways  of  getting  you  to  do  what  he  wants  you 
to  do,"  one  of  his  students  recalled. 

In  the  final  analysis  the  Prime  Directive  may  be 
traced  to  one  feeling  that  Ross  Moore  has  never  let 
pass  beyond  the  scope  of  his  consciousness.  He  has 
never  forgotten  what  it  was  like  to  be  a  young  professor. 
One  recalls  the  words  of  praise  that  Dr.  Collins  had  for 
his  senior  colleague:  "I  cannot  think  of  a  better  goal 
to  which  any  young  teacher  could  aspire  than  to  be 
more  like  you."  So  that  Dr.  Moore  has  been  his  own 
best  example.  And  like  any  philosopher  worthy  of  the 
name  he  discounts  it.  Similarly,  neither  has  Dr.  Moore 
forgotten  what  it  is  to  be  a  student,  for  in  every  serious 
aspect  of  the  term  is  what  he  remains.  It  is  the  paradox 
of  the  student  mind  that  it  has  a  tremendous  perception 
for  detecting  "bull"  from  the  lectern,  but  it  cannot  be- 
lieve that  the  process  is  reversible.  Consequently,  not 
only  is  Dr.  Moore's  attitude  one  of  utility,  but  it  is  also 
one  of   professional   self-defense! 

Complementing  this  attitude  is  the  fact  that  Dr. 
Moore  takes  joy  in  what  he  is  doing.  "Oh  he's  a  born 
teacher,"  says  the  matchless  Mrs.  Moore.  "I  sometimes 
think  that  if  he  had  money  .  .  .  Ross  would  actually 
pay  for  the  privilege  of  teaching." 

Utility,  devotion,  liberalism,  excellence:  leadership. 
There  can  surely  be  no  finer  aspect  of  leadership  than 
the  one  represented  in  helping  a  developing  mind  to 
unfold  in  the  course  of  a  college  career.  Miraculously 
this  is  the  quality  that  is  mysteriously  achieved  some- 
where in  the  relationship  between  a  real  teacher  and  a 
real  student.  For  the  student,  as  he  later  understands, 
this  is  even  more  important  than  the  factual  content  of 
the  coursework.  The  challenge  is  not  only  presented, 
but  the  will  to  accept  and  to  execute  it  is  magnified. 
Ross  Moore,  therefore,  offers  not  so  much  advice  or 
facts,  as  the  realization  of  capacity  and  the  possibility 
of  accomplishment.  He  teaches  us  what  we  ourselves 
will  be  capable  of  if  we  manage  our  imaginations  with 
sufficient  devotion  and  if  we  are  sufficiently  ruthless 
toward  any  cheapening  substitute  of  the  real  thing. 

Today,  as  we  recognize  the  cataclysmic  change 
around  us,  and  that  the  existence  and  implementation 
of  constructive  challenge  must  be  the  basic  reasons  for 
education,  we  must  also  recognize  that  there  are  certain 
fundamentals  in  the  world  by  which  even  the  most 
radical  course  must  be  charted.  A  great  many  of  these 
elemental  truths  are  epitomized  in  the  persoi-.ality  and 
career  of  Dr.  Ross  Henderson  Moore.  For  it  is  he,  like 
Gibran's  Prophet,  who  "does  not  bid  you  enter  the 
house  of  his  wisdom,  but  rather  leads  you  to  the  threshold 
of  your  own  mind."  The  challenge  to  the  student  must 
lie  in  that  new  awareness  of  how  high  his  own  threshold 
is  to  be. 


"I    sometimes    think    that    if    he    had    money, 
would  actually   pay  for  the  privilege  of  teaching.'

THE  TEXT  OF  DR.  ROSS  MOORE'S 
ALUMNI  DAY  ADDRESS 


Students  frequently  ask  for  a  review  period  to  re- 
fresh their  minds  on  things  they  already  know.  Tonight 
it  might  be  well  to  have  such  a  session  to  remind  us 
of  what  Millsaps  College  has  been  and  is  now.  You  are 
aware  that  many  things  have  changed  and  neither  the 
buildings,  the  faculty,  nor  the  student  body  are  per- 
putual  —  but  in  a  very  true  sense  the  essence  of  Mill- 
saps  is  the  same,  in  spirit,  purpose,  and  product.  How 
can  I  personalize  this  better  than  by  saying:  Bob 
Matheny — Mark  Matheny;  Clara  Porter  Cavett — Lucy 
Cavett;  Gene  Countiss — Junior  and  Senior;  Garland  Hol- 
loman — Floyci  Holloman.  And  soon  we  will  be  comparing 
three  generations. 

May  we  continue  our  review  by  remembering  what 
is  the  real  purpose  of  an  institution  of  higher  learning. 
Merely  to  impart  knowledge  does  not  distinguish  it. 
Rather,  the  aim  should  be  to  develop  the  ability  to  think 
and  this  can  be  done  only  where  discussion  is  free  and 
unfettered,  which  means  academic  freedom  for  both 
faculty  and  students. 

As  Richard  Nixon  says  in  the  Saturday  Review 
(August  27,  1968) : 

Academic  freedom  is  a  free  society's  great- 
est single  advantage  in  its  competition  with 
totalitarian  societies.  No  society  can  be  great 
without  the  creative  power  it  unleashes  .... 
There  is  the  academic  freedom  of  the  student  to 
investigate  any  theory,  to  challenge  any  pre- 
mise, to  refuse  to  accept  any  old  shibboleths  and 
myths. 

There  is  a  second  academic  freedom  of  the 
student  to  espouse  any  cause,   to  engage   in  the 
cut  and  thrust  of  partisian  political  or  social  de- 
bate, both  on  and  off  campus,  without  jeopardy 
to  his  or  her  academic  career. 
And  I   quote   from  the   Millsaps   Purpose:    "As   an   insti- 
tution  of    higher   learning,    Millsaps    College    fosters    an 
attitude    of    continuing    intellectual    awareness,    of   toler- 
ance,  and  of  unbiased  inquiry,  without  which  true  edu- 
cation cannot  exist." 


Professors  have  also  become  aware  of  student 
rights  and  the  American  Association  of  University  Pro- 
fessors holds  that  they  should  be  free  to  examine  and 
discuss  all  questions  of  interest  to  them,  and  to  express 
opinions  publicly  and  privately  so  long  as  they  do  not 
disrupt  the  operation  of  the  institution. 

The  real  questions  are:  Is  Millsaps  College  doing 
its  job?  Are  we  maintaining  high  standards?  What  is 
the  record  of  our  products?  While  our  products  are  not 
like  those  of  General  Motors  —  or  should  I  say  FORD  — 
they  are  alive  and  often  kicking. 

It  might  be  appropriate  here  to  go  into  the  usual 
listings  about  Woodrow  Wilson  scholarships,  etc.  But 
you  have  done  your  homework  and  read  Major  Notes, 
so  let  me  insert  only  one  commercial. 

On  this  year's  Graduate  Record  examination  —  in 
comparison  with  students  from  all  over  the  nation  we 
had  three  seniors  who  made  the  highest  scores  attain- 
able —  99%  —  and  five  others  scored  above  95,  with 
30  as   a  passing  grade. 

What  I  am  suggesting  is  that  while  you  are  evaluat- 
ing Millsaps  keep  your  mind  on  the  really  improtant 
things.  How  well  are  we  educating  our  students?  It  is 
so  easy  to  take  your  eye  off  the  ball  and  to  lose  per- 
spective, then  denounce  the  College  because  we  did  not 
win  all  of  our  games;  or  complain  that  there  are  not 
enough  parking  places  on  campus.  I  am  sure  no  Mill- 
saps graduate  would  ever  do  this. 

Work  is  about  to  start  on  a  history  of  Millsaps.  I 
am  not  planning  to  write  it  but  I  do  know  a  little  about 
the  subject  (and  I  did  agree  to  contribute  a  chapter  on 
Housemothers  of  Founders'  Hall  entitled  "Founders 
Keepers"). 

Our  school  has  always  been  safe  for  diversity  and, 
like  all  other  good  educational  institutions,  we  have 
people  with  a  variety  of  ideas  and  opinions.  Many  of 
these  have  represented  a  minority  on  campus  and  defi- 
nitely a  minority  within  the  State. 

So  let  us  continue  to  review  our  rememberance  of 
things  past.

WHAT  MILLSAPS  HAS  BEEN, 

AND  IS  NOW 


PROFESSOR  J.  REESE  LIN  was  very  unpop- 
ular in  his  day  because  he  favored  free  silver. 


Do  you  remember  Free  Silver?  Professor  Lin  is 
my  authority  for  the  story  that  he  was  very  unpopular 
for  a  time  because  he  favored  the  gold  standard. 

Professor  Harrell  said  some  people  objected  when 
Millsaps  students  built  a  bonfire  on  Observatory  Hill  to 
show  that  they  were  in  favor  of  the  war  with  Spain  in 
•98. 

Dr.  Swearingen  and  other  campus  neighbors  com- 
plained that  our  ministerial  students  had  a  too  highly 
developed    appetite   for   chicken. 

But  I  arn  certainly  not  going  to  tell  you  what  went 
on  in  upper  Burton  in  the  twenties.  Or  during  the  panty 
raids  of  the  fifties.  Some  of  you  can  furnish  your  own 
details  and  show  your  souvenirs. 

There  was  so  much  dissent  over  Dr.  Kern  putting 
on  a  Shakespeare  play  that  the  curtain  stayed  down  for 
years.  We  later  enjoyed  tableaux  and  morality  plays, 
and  now  —  Desire  Under  the  Elms. 

Eyebrows  were  raised  when  Bertha  Ricketts  insisted 
on  taking  Biology  in  a  class  of  men.  And  a  long-time 
student  movement  finally  got  football  restored  to  the 
sports  program,  thanks  to  Car],  Howarth  and  others. 

Dr.  Julius  Crisler  withdrew  his  support  from  the 
College  for  a  time  when  he  learned  that  we  had  com- 
pulsory chapel  only  four  days   a  week. 

Does  anyone  here  remember  Henry  Collins'  Purple 
and  White  article  on  Bilbo?  It's  a  wonder  the  College 
did  not  close  its  doors.  Or  when  students  signed  peace 
pledges  in  the  thirties  to  the  great  chagrin  of  Major 
Calvin  Wells,  who  came  out  to  denounce  them  in  a  long 
chapel  speech. 

And  later  there  was  the  telegram  from  the  Interna- 
tional Relations  Club  supporting  the  anti-lynching  bill  that 
gave  us  a  very  bad  press.  Or  Dr.  Ferguson's  near- 
capture  of  the  Democratic  precinct  election  that  made 
headhnes  in  local  papers  and  raised  the  oft-repeated 
query  —   "What's   going  on   at  Millsaps?" 


11 


The  outcry  against  Dr.  Sullivan's  acceptance  of  the 
theory  of  evolution  came  close  to  proving  that  an  insti- 
tution cannot  survive  without  adjusting  to  its  environ- 
ment. But  if  we  had,  Millsaps  would  no  longer  be  a 
real  institution  of  higher  learning.  This  was  part  of 
the  Fundamentalism-Modernism  controversy  during 
which  a  couple  of  professors  were  fired,  before  the  days 
of  A.A.U.P. 

Did  you  know  that  the  1934  Bobashela  became  a 
"stone"  around  our  neck?  President  Key  had  been 
depicted  with  the  body  of  one  of  his  very  primitive  an- 
cestors and  his  reaction  was  very  much  to  the  point. 
In  answer  to  protests  from  the  local  press  he  said  that 
if  our  students  were  all-knowing  and  had  attained  per- 
fect judgment,  they  would  not  still  be  students. 

Millsaps  is  supposed  to  have  lost  thousands  of  dol- 
lars because  President  Finger  declared  that  thera  were 
no  communists  at  the  College  and  he  therefore  saw  no 
reason  for  our  students  to  be  required  to  sign  the  Dis- 
claimer oath.  Others  censured  him  for  allowing  dances 
on  the  campus. 

The  period  of  the  sixties  is  so  recent  there  is  no 
need  to  continue  our  review.  But  we  have  moved  from 
the  time  when  we  thought  girls  had  too  little  hair  (in 
the  twenties)  to  the  time  when  men  have  too  much. 
My  father  wore  a  beard  while  he  taught  here  and  I 
have  threatened  to  grow  one  when  the  College  bans 
them. 

Now,  what  is  the  purpose  of  this  review?  Mainly  to 
tell  you  that  Millsaps  has  always  been  this  way.  Never 
in  a  strait  jacket,  never  insisting  on  complete  conformi- 
ty, and  always  willing  for  its  faculty  and  students  to 
express  their  opinions  and  to  espouse  unpopular  causes 
while  hoping  they  would  show  some  restraint. 

Why  has  this  been  true?  Because  without  a  large 
degree  of  tolerance,  patience,  and  freedom  we  cannot 
develop  our  ability  to  think.  Surely  we  cannot  contend 
that  all  these  incidents  were  desirable,  useful,  or  that 
they  did  not  harm  the  College.  But  as  President  Stahr 
of  Indiana  has  said,  "We  have  far  too  much  to  lose 
ultimately  if  we  unleash  the  forces  of  suppression." 

We  are  all  very  much  concerned  about  what  is 
happening  throughout  the  world  in  higher  education.  The 
spectacular  events  which  are  still  making  headlines 
trouble  us  deeply.  We  might  despair  if  we  did  not  keep 
our  perspective  and  realize  that  these  events  have  oc- 
curred on  only  a  few  campuses  and  were  participated 
in  by  only  two  or  three  percent  of  their  students.  We 
have  had  none  of  this  violence  at  Millsaps  and  do  not 
anticipate  any. 

It  has  been  mainly  in  the  large  universities  where 
students  feel  that  they  have  been  neglected  and  and  are 
not  able  to  communicate  with  the  faculty  and  administra- 
tion. They  complain  of  being  merely  the  "forgotten" 
of  the  sixties.  Universities  have  become  so  big  and  im- 
personal that  mass  instruction  has  taken  the  place  of 
inquiry  and  the  I  B  M  card  has  become  a  symbol  of 
alienation. 

Harold  Howe  points  out  in  The  New  York  Times 
(April  27,  1968)  that  students  cannot  understand  why 
university  professors,  who  are  responsible  for  the  reach 
into  space,  for  splitting  the  atom,  are  unable  to  make 
their  courses  pertinent  to  the  Lives  of  the  students. 

Once  again  we  can  be  proud  to  be,  as  Dr.  Smith 
would  say,   "A  small  Liberal  Arts  college."

DR.  FERGUSON'S  near-capture  of 
the  Democratic  precinct  election  rais- 
ed the  query  "What's  going  on  at  Mill- 
saps?" 


"The  outcry  against  DR.  SULLIVAN'S  acceptance 
of  the  theory  of  evolution  came  close  to  proving  that  an 
institution  can  not  survive  without  adjusting  to  its 
environment."

"PROFESSOR  HARRELL  said  some 
people  objected  when  Millsaps  students 
built  a  bonfire  on  Observatory  Hill  to  show 
that  they  were  in  favor  of  the  war  with

Understandably  but  unfortunately  it  is  the  good 
students   who   cause   the  trouble. 

Activists  usually  turn  out  to  be  the  brightest 
and  most  articulate  students  —  the  top  5  or  10 
per  cent  who  provide  much  of  the  effervescence 
on  campus.  They  often  are  the  students  with  the 
"fire"  and  the  originality  —  and  the  grades  — 
that  admissions  officers  so  assiduously  cultivate 
in  their  freshmen  classes.  — Newsweek  (May  6, 
1968). 

Michigan  State  secured  560  Merit  Scholars  to  up- 
grade their  intellectual  atmosphere.  A  professor  said, 
"Let's  face  it.  This  was  an  extra-conservative  campus 
until  the  Merit  Scholars  came.  These  kids  are  disturbing 
a  lot  of  people  who  need  disturbing." 

Scholars  are  not  always  tranquil  bookworms.  But 
even  though  the  maintenance  men  would  be  glad  if  the 
activists  went  away,  the  professors  would  not. 

What  are  the  reasons  given  for  these  widespread 
disorders? 

The  area  of  student  protest  encompasses  a 
rising  tide  of  discontent  with  the  curriculum, 
with  the  lecture  system  as  a  method  of  teaching, 
and  with  dull  or  inept  professors.  I  have  heard 
singularly  little  protest  against  dull  or  inept 
students.  Anne  Firor  Scott,  Duke  Alumni  Register 
(August,   1967). 

Other  reasons  range  from  cafeteria  food  (they  seem 
to  want  Soul  Food  at  Northwestern),  dormitory  hours, 
heat  in  the  rooms  —  to  Vietnam  and  co-ed  equality 
(Goodness  only  knows  what  can  be  done  about  that).  I 
am  not  sure  just  where  this  came  from.  Maybe  Colum- 
bia was  the  germ  of  the  notion. 

You  heard  of  the  Barnard  co-ed  who  lied  to  get  to 
live   off  campus   with   her   boy   friend   in   a   strictly   un- 


structured relationship.  The  College  came  to  regret 
that  they  had  not  let  sleeping  co-eds  lie,  and  the  final 
punishment  was  not  allowing  her  to  eat  in  the  cafeteria. 
The  question  is  not  so  much  what  to  do  when  dis- 
turbances occur,  but  how  to  prevent  them.  This  is  being 
handled  very  successfully  on  many  campuses  without 
publicity  by  placing  responsibilities  on  students,  listen- 
ing to  their  grievances,  and  getting  their  assistance  in 
solving  problems. 

Colleges  that  "freeze-up"  and  refuse  to  recognize 
legitimate  student  rights  will  continue  to  have  trouble, 
for  whereas  only  one  per  cent  will  protest  over  Vietnam, 
a  large  number  become  activists  when  they  feel  that 
their  requests  are  not  being  heard  or  student  rights 
flaunted. 

Time  magazine  in  a  recent  Essay  (May  3,  1968) 
states  that  the  students  have  taught  the  administrations 
that  some  of  the  proposed  changes  are  good  and  the 
way  to  deal  with  student  power  is  to  anticipate  it  and 
initiate  changes  before  the  students  demand  them. 

We  at  Millsaps  are  fortunate  in  having  a  relatively 
small  student  body;  a  good  faculty  that  is  genuinely  in- 
terested in  the  students;  together  with  a  willingness  to 
change  our  curriculum  and  update  our  procedures. 

Our  administration  is  alert  and  does  listen  to  student 
opinion  and  tries  to  correct  grievances,  with  a  determi- 
nation to  maintain  freedom  as  well  as  high  standards. 

Dr.  Graves  does  not  ask  for  your  sympathy,  but  he, 
Dean  Laney,  Dean  Christmas,  and  the  College,  desperate- 
ly need  your  understanding  and  support. 

"One  great  educator  became  so  infuriated  with 
what  he  called  the  licentious,  outrageous  and  disgraceful 
behavior  of  students  at  his  college  that  he  quit  in  dis- 
gust. The  college  was  at  Carthage,  the  year  was  A.D. 
383,  and  the  dismayed  teacher,  as  he  relates  in  Con- 
fessions, was  St.  Augustine.  Sometimes  students  can  try 
the  patience  of  a  saint."  Time  (May  3,  1968). 

You  may  have  heard  us  called  "A  Candle  Burning 
in  the  Darkness'  when  Hodding  Carter  recently  paid 
us  a  very  high  tribute.  I  know  you  have  heard  it  before 
but  it  deserves  frequent  repetition. 

Millsaps  College  is  perhaps  the  most  cou- 
rageous institution  in  the  nation  .  .  .  and  has  had 
a  difficult  time  in  Mississippi  because  it  has  a 
"tradition  of  relative  liberalism." 

It  lets  its  students  and  its  professors  speak 
their  minds  .  .  .  and  occasionally  has  suffered 
for  doing  so. 

Carter  said  Millsaps  has  "survived  and  at- 
tracted the  best  student  body  in  Mississippi. 

It  has  a  higher  percentage  of  what  I  con- 
sider the  right  people  than  probably  any  other 
school  in  the  South  .  .  .  They  go  because  Millsaps 
challenges  their  souls  .... 

There  is  not  an  institution  in  the  country  that 
cannot  learn  something  from  this  little  school  in 
Mississippi  ...  It  is  a  candle  burning  in  the 
darkness." 

The   Greenville,    S.    C.    News    (April   21,    1967) 

In    one   respect   Millsaps   will   not   be    as    good    next 

year  because  Elizabeth  Craig  will  be  on  half-time.   But 

in  other  ways  it  remains  the  same.   The  Sigs  still  love 

the  KA's. 

So  let  us  continue  the  pursuit  of  excellence  and  re- 
member that  your  college  and  mine  is  not  perfect.  If 
it  were  we  couldn't  call  it  Millsaps.  We  would  call  it 
ALL  SAINTS.

MISS    CRAIG'S 


FRENCH  CLASS 
AT  MILLSAPS 


—  anonymous 


French  class  at  Millsaps  College  isn't  just  French 
class.  It's  a  daily  trip  to  Paris  via  the  vivacious  per- 
sonality of  the  teacher,  petite  Elizabeth  Craig,  with  a 
Scotch  name  and  a  Sorbonne  diploma.  From  her  ash- 
blonde  hair,  just  starting  to  silver,  to  her  heels,  she  is 
every  inch  of  her  five-foot-three  a  cultured  French  lady 
who  can  conjure  up  for  you  at  the  sound  of  a  school 
gong  the  enchanting  city  of  Paris. 

At  her  classroom  door  you  are  already  back  in 
French  atmosphere,  if  you  really  did  leave  it  yesterday. 
Her  bulletin  board,  like  a  bannerette,  flags  you  with  its 
fresh  and  up-to-date  Parisian  lore.  Has  Queen  Eliza- 
beth II  visited  Paris?  There  will  be  news  clippings  and 
perhaps  even  pictures  of  the  gowns  she  wore.  Another 
day  it  may  be  a  coat  of  arms  with  fleurs-de-lis  on  a 
field  argent.  Thus  you  are'  introduced  into  Miss  Craig's 
classroom,  her  castle,  which  she  adorns  as  she  pleases. 
When  Paris  was  under  seige,  she  even  draped  it  in 
black!   You  enter,  and  you  are  back  in  France. 

High  on  the  walls  are  delightful  scenes  of  French 
coast  and  countryside.  Start  your  journey  where  you 
will:  at  a  little  quaint  fishing  village  in  Saint-Malo  or 
where  swift  tides  sweep  up  at  Mont-Saint-Michel.  Car- 
cassonne with  lowered  drawbridge  invites  you,  and  a 
little  farther  on  you  glimpse  the  rose  beauty  of  Amiens. 

Perhaps  your  desk  is  in  the  back.  Then  you  probably 
sit  between  a  four-foot  wrought  iron  Eiffel  Tower  and  a 
cardboard  replica  of  one  of  the  lamps  in  the  triple 
cluster  on  Alexandre  Trois  Bridge.  On  your  left  you  be- 
hold a  large  map  of  France;  beneath  it  is  a  three  dimen- 
sional construction  of  a  Parisian  avenue  with  its  shops 
and  ancient  buildings,  with  Notre-Dame  in  the  back- 
ground. You  stare  at  the  red  and  yellow  map  of  Paris 
on   the    front    wall    or    perhaps    enjoy    the    phrases    and 


epigrams  newly  posted  to  acquaint  first  year  students 
with  idiomatic  expressions.  An  out-dated  calendar  with 
a  lithograph  of  the  famous  "Marianne"  of  the  Revolu- 
tion catches  your  eye,  another  instance  of  the  heart 
having  reasons   which  the  head  does  not  know. 

By  now  Miss  Craig,  her  small  coquettish  purple  hat 
perched  high  on  her  head,  is  calling  the  roll,  in  French, 
of  course.  If  mademoiselle  does  not  answer,  you  may  be 
asked,  "Ou  est  votre  voisine?"  and  you'd  better  know. 
Discussion  follows.  Now  is  the  time  to  bring  forward 
any  French  souvenir  you  happen  to  have.  It  will  be 
passed  around  to  each  student  to  be  examined,  even  if 
it  be  only  a  simple  postcard.  Anything  French  is  a 
conversation  piece  at  this  interval:  fashions,  current 
movies,  and  TV.  If  a  remark  in  French  is  addressed 
to  you  and  you  can't  answer,  someone  else  chimes  in. 
Even  singing  may  be  in  order.  When  the  college  drama- 
tized "South  Pacific,"  it  took  no  coaxing  at  all  to  get 
permission  to  sing  the  hit  "Dites-moi."  Always  the  last 
period  before  Christmas  is  devoted  to  singing  French 
carols  and  the  deep  contralto  you  hear  is  Miss  Craig 
herself. 

"Tiens!"  is  her  equivalent  for  "tsk"  when  someone 
is  satisfied  with  mediocre  translation,  and  no  jokesters 
need  apply.  That  doesn't  mean  that  there's  ever  a  dull 
moment.  If  anything  like  that  seems  to  threaten  to  hap- 
pen. Miss  Craig  swiftly  siezes  her  purse  and  you're  ir 
for  a  few  surprises.  If  it  be  winter,  the  purse  will  be 
black  patent  leather  with  gold  handles;  if  spring,  white 
emblazoned  with  French  travel  stickers.  Both  are  as 
big  as  suitcases.  As  one  by  one  the  contents  are  hoisted 
from  the  depths,  she  orders:  "Nommez  les  objets!' 
Naming  the  objects  isn't  as  simple  as  it  sounds  wher 
you    see    dangling    before    your    eyes    such    unexpected 


14 


articles  as  phonograph  records,  last  year's  license  plate, 
a  bag  of  cookies,  her  grade  book,  three  sets  of  papers, 

.several  bunches  of  keys,  and  almost  anything  else. 

Those    papers    will    receive    her    own    marking,    too. 

,That  way  she  knows  her  student,  what  he  knows,  what 
he   means,    and   can   watch   his    daily   progress.    If  it   is 

[slow-going  for  him,  he  may  be  called  to  her  office  for 
a  short  conference.   She   must  not  let  him  become   dis- 

jcouraged  if  he  is  truly  working  at  his  lessons.  Together 
they  locate  the  difficulty.   C'est  bien! 

Perhaps  you  sit  between  Pierre  and  Marie  and  they 
are  good  friends.  You  are  the  one-too-many.  Would  you 

.mind  changing  your  place?  Then  they  could  sit  side  by 

iside.  It  is  pleasanter  so,  you  understand?  You  do,  and  as 
you  move  to  a  vacant  place  by  the  window,  you  marvel 
at  the  keen  appreciation  and  charming  respect  for  young 
love.  All  students  are  seated  in  alphabetical  order  in  the 

I  beginning,    but   if   that   tends   to    hinder   any    affaire    de 

Icoeur,    those   concerned   are   invited   to    make   it   known 

■  privately  and  the  places  will  be  changed. 

Paris  with  its  glittering  spectacle  of  Old  World 
majesty  —  how  this  little  French  teacher  in  her  fascinat- 
ting,  artistic  way  whisks  you  there  in  the  class  discus- 

;sions  and  readings.  You  forget  your  surroundings.  Today 
you  walk  with  her  down  Champs-Elysees  from  Arc  de 
Triomphe  to  Place  de  la  Concorde.  Only  two  blocks 
rnore  along  a  tree-lined  avenue  and  you  are  at  the 
Madeleine.  Another  day  it  will  be  the  Louvre  or  the 
He  de  la  Cite'.  She  will  not  let  you  overlook  the  stained 
!  glass  walls  of  Sainte-Chapelle,  built  by  Saint-Louis  to 
house  the  Crown  of  Thorns,  nor  Notre-Dame  with  its 
rose  window  and  leering  gargoyles.  Often  she  will  detour 
you  to  the  Hotel  des  Invalides  where  Napoleon's  tatter- 


ed battle  flags  still  hang.  Upon  your  memory  she  im- 
prints the  picture  of  his  sarcophagus  of  red  porphyry 
until  you,  too,  seem  to  fall  beneath  the  spell  of  his  power. 
StOl  another  time  it  may  be  just  a  quiet  evening  along 
the  quay  with  lights  shimmering  in  the  Seine.  No  matter 
what  the  place  or  the  hour,  her  Paris  is  always  enchant- 
ing. 


It  will  be  well  for  you  to  become  saturated  with  all 
this  because  a  part  of  your  examination  will  be  this 
special  brand  of  Cook's  tour:  choice  of  eight  out  of 
twelve  short  paragraphs  in  French,  describing  important, 
places  in  Paris.  When  you  translate,  see  to  it  that  you 
are  accurate.  Whatever  you  do,  don't  put  her  loved  Sor- 
bonne  on  the  wrong  side  of  the  Seine! 

Back  to  Millsaps  for  a  moment!  Sometime  during 
the  second  semester,  usually  in  April,  it  is  customary 
to  hold  what  is  called  "Faculty  Waiter  Night."  Faculty 
members  carry  the  trays  and  serve  the  students.  You 
tip  generously  for  mixed  motives:  politics  and  charity, 
each  teacher  donating  his  "earnings"  to  a  fund  to  aid 
students  in  other  lands.  Guess  who  takes  in  the  most 
and  steals  the  show  in  her  little  black  and  white  outfit 
and  frilly  cap.  She  can  be  hostess  at  many  other  times, 
too.  From  time  to  time,  she  entertains  her  third  year 
students  at  Christmas  at  a  French  party  at  her  home. 
You  almost  wade  in  French  Christmas  cards,  but  you 
enjoy  it  and  so  does  she.  As  you  advance  in  your  French 
course,  you  are  included  more  and  more  in  her  delight- 
ful, informal  gatherings  and  enjoy  the  richness  of  her 
friendship.  She  is  personally  interested  in  each  of  her 
students,  and  it  is  an  interest  which  refines  and  ennobles. 

Someone  has  said  that  you  never  leave  Paris;  you 
take  it  with  you.  That,  with  her  excellent  teaching  and 
sterling  qualities  of  character  is  just  what  Elizabeth 
Craig  has  done.  She  has  brought  Champs-Elysees  to 
Millsaps.  Her  students  are  grateful.  So  are  all  who  have 
the  good  fortune  to  know  her.

In  May  Miss  Elizabeth  Craig,  who  will  join  Millsaps' 
part-time  faculty  in  the  fall  semester,  was  honored  at  a 
reception  held  in  the  Boyd  Campbell  Student  Union 
Building.  Miss  Craig  is  shown  accepting  a  gift  from  the 
Alumni  Association  (above),  and  from  her  fellow  faculty 
members  (below).

a  squad  of  forty-six  men  for  fall 
practice.  Twenty-three  of  this  number 
will  be  returning  lettermen. 

Last  year's  team  posted  a  1-6-1 
record,  but  Coach  Davis  looks  for  the 
experience  of  this  year's  team  to  re- 
sult in  an  improved  season. 


INVESTMENTS 
IN   MILLSAPS 

Millsaps  President  Dr.  Benjamin  B. 
Graves  announced  two  substantial 
gifts  to  the  college  in  recent  weeks. 

The  first  was  a  contribution  of  $50,- 
000  from  the  Kresge  Foundation  of 
Detroit,  Michigan.  Dr.  Graves  an- 
nounced the  Kresge  gift  at  the  Target- 
Victory  Dinner,  held  by  the  Millsaps 
Associates  in  May. 

Mr.  William  H.  Baldwin  is  Presi- 
dent and  Trustee  of  the  Kresge  Foun- 
dation. Dr.  Graves  noted  that  the 
Foundation  has  given  significant  fi- 
nancial support  to  American  higher 
education,  particularly  private, 
church-related  institutions. 

A  generous  gift  from  the  Vickers 
Division  of  the  Sperry-Rand  Corpora- 
tion was  announced  on  June  28. 

The  manager  of  Vickers'  Jackson 
plant,  W.  H.  Presley,  Jr.,  presented 
the  check  to  Dr.   Graves. 

Dr.  Graves  credited  Frank  Smith, 
Vice-President  of  Mississippi  Power 
and  Light  Company,  with  the  initial 
contact  with  Vickers  in  soliciting  con- 
tributions for  the  college. 

Sm.ith  was  a  worker  in  the  non- 
alumni  phase  of  the  Jackson  area 
"Toward  a  Destiny  of  Excellence" 
Campaign.  The  non-alumni  campaign 
was  headed  by  Herman  Hines,  Jack- 
son banker.

MILLSAPS  ARTS 

AND   LECTURE    SERIES 

Newscaster  David  Brinkley  head- 
lines the  first  season  of  the  Millsaps 
Arts  and  Lecture  Series.  The  Series' 
Executive  Director,  Mrs.  Armand 
Coullet,  announced  that  other  events 
in  the  Series  will  involve  nationally- 
noted  author  Eudora  Welty,  the  New 
Orleans  Philharmonic  Symphohy  Or- 
chestra, the  Millsaps  Singers,  and  the 
Millsaps  Players. 

The  Players  will  open  the  first  sea- 
son on  October  30  with  "A  Funny 
Thing  Happened  on  the  Way  to  the 
Forum."  The  popular  musical  will  be 
presented  through  November  2,  with 
performances  in  the  Christian  Cen- 
ter Auditorium. 

Eudora  Welty  will  give  a  lecture 
ai.d  reading  on  December  5  in  the 
Christian  Center  Auditorium.  Miss 
Welty  is  the  author  of  a  number  of 
books  of  short  stories  and  several 
novels,  and  has  contributed  essays 
and  articles  to  various  publications. 
She  has  lectured  at  many  colleges 
and  universities,  and  has  been  writer- 
in-residence  at  several  of  them.  A 
few  years  ago  she  was  writer-in-resi- 
dence  at  Millsaps.  Her  next  published 
work  will  be  a  novel. 

The  New  Orleans  Philharmonic- 
Symphony  Orchestra  will  come  to 
Jackson  on  February  13  to  perform 
in  the  new  City  Auditorium  with  the 
Millsaps  Singers.  The  Orchestra, 
which  gave  concerts  in  twenty  states 
last  year,  is  under  the  direction  of 
Werner  Torkanowsky.  Torkanowsky 
added  another  pennant  to  the  Orches- 
tra's banners  last  August  at  Phil- 
harmonic Hall,  Lincoln  Center,  New 
York  City,  where  he  conducted  the 
Mozart  Requiem  and  received  a 
standing    ovation.    Of    the    eighty-five 


17 


musicians  in  the  orchestra,  only  one 
of  them  born  in  New  Orleans,  fifty 
are  string  players. 

The  Millsaps  Singers  are  recognized 
as  one  of  the  most  outstanding  col- 
legiate choral  groups  in  the  South. 
The  Singers  are  in  great  demand  for 
appearances  on  their  annual  tours 
which  have  taken  them  to  all  parts 
of  the  Nation.  The  Singers  are  di- 
rected by  Leland  Byler. 

On  March  12,  Lance  Goss'  Players 
will  present  Shakespeare's  Romeo  and 
Juliet  in  the  Christian  Center  Audi- 
torium. The  drama  will  be  presented 
nightly  through  March  15. 

Brinkley  will  come  to  Jackson  on 
either  April  26  or  May  24.  The  exact 
date  and  place  of  his  appearance  will 
be  announced  shortly.  He  is  one  half 
of  the  Huntley-Brinkley  news  team  on 
NBC  Television  that  has  dominated 
ratings  during  the  1960's. 

Memberships  in  the  Millsaps  Arts 
and  Lecture  Series  are  now  being 
made  available  to  the  public.  A  mem- 
bership will  entitle  the  holder  to  ad- 
mission to  each  of  the  five  events  in 
the  Series. 


ATTENDS   PLANNED 
GIFTS   SEMINAR 

The  College's  Assistant  Director  of 
Development,  Philip  Ray  Converse, 
attended  the  Planned  Gifts  Seminar 
given  by  Kennedy  Sinclaire,  In- 
corporated, of  Montclair,  New  Jersey, 
in  June. 

Mr.  Converse,  who  works  in  trusts, 
deferred  gifts,  and  wills,  graduated 
from  Millsaps  in  1964.  He  received  his 
law  degree  from  the  Jackson  School 
of  Law  in  1966  and  then  passed  the 
State  Bar  Examination.  He  is  a  mem- 
ber of  both  the  Mississippi  and  Amer- 
ican Bar  Associations. 

The  Planned  Gifts  Seminar  is  a 
course  of  intensive  study  in  the  meth- 
ods of  planned  giving.  The  curriculum 
covers  the  opportunities  for  inter 
vivos  and  deferred  gifts,  a  thorough 
grounding  in  Federal  income,  estate, 
and  gift  taxes,  modern  methods  of 
property  distribution,  the  techniques 
involved  in  financial  planning,  and  a 
review  of  will  clauses. 

Director  of  Development  J.  Barry 
Brindley  attended  the  Seminar  in 
1966.  The  training  given  Mr.  Con- 
verse and  Mr.  Brindley  should  prove 
invaluable  to  those  who  wish  to 
make  an  investment  in  the  future  of 
Millsaps.

When  Giving  Can  Save 


by   Philip   R.   Converse 

Attorney   at  Law 

Assistant   Director  of   Development 


"Toward  A  Destiny  of  Excellence" 
Through  Wise  Estate  Planning 


According  to  a  recent  article  in  U.  S.  News  and 
World  Report,  nearly  100  million  dollars  in  cash  and 
other  assets  piled  up  each  week  in  the  state  probate 
courts  left  by  people  dying  without  wills.  The  article 
also  said  that  additional  millions  probably  piled  up  he- 
cause  of  undated  or  unclear  wills. 

Less  than  one-half  of  the  adult  population  in  the 
United  States  today  have  wills.  Most  Americans  operate 
under  the  common  fallacy  that  their  estate  is  not  large 
enough  to  merit  writing  a  will.  For  estate  tax  purposes 
all  real  estate,  stocks  and  bonds,  life  insurance,  jointly 
owned  property,  mortgages,  notes,  cash,  powers  of  ap- 
pointment and  personal  belongings  are  included  in  one's 
estate.  Recent  studies  show  that  in  the  1967  calendar 
year,  6.4  million  people  had  estates  valued  at  $60,000 
or  more.  This  is  roughly  3.2  per  cent  of  all  the  people 
filing  income  tax  returns  in  that  year. 


Sound  financial  planning  can  save  estate,  gift,  and 
income  taxes,  plus  solving  multitudes  of  personal  prob- 
lems for  your;  family.  Everyone  ought  to  take  the  time 
to  periodically  review  the  assets  of  his  or  her  estate. 
Most  people  are  really  quite  surprised  at  what  they 
have  accumulated  through  the  years. 

Millsaps  College  is  now  prepared  to  work  with  your 
attorney,  accountant  and  insurance  agent  to  show  you 
how  you  might:  increase  your  disposable  income,  mean- 
ing more  financial  security  during  your  life;  increase 
the  amount  of  your  estate  available  for  distribution  to 
your  beneficiaries,  meaning  more  financial  security  for 
your  family;  conserve  the  value  of  your  estate  through 
professional  management   and  efficient  administration. 

If  any  of  these  points  interest  you,  please  contact 
me  at  the  Development  Office,  Millsaps  College,  or

A  Report 

From  The  President 

Of  The  College 


BENJAMIN   B.   GRAVES 

Dr.  Benjamin  B.  Graves  has  served 
as  president  of  Millsaps  College  since 
February,  1965. 

He  is  a  graduate  of  the  University 
of  Mississippi,  has  a  Master's  degree 
in  Business  Administration  from  the 
Harvard  Graduate  School  of  Business 
Administration,  and  earned  a  Doctor 
of  Philosophy  degree  at  Louisiana 
State  University. 

He  taught  at  LSU,  the  University  of 
Virginia,  and  the  University  of  Mis- 
sissippi before  joining  Millsaps.  He 
was  associated  with  Humble  Oil  Com- 
pany for  a  number  of  years. 

As  an  author  and  lecturer  Dr. 
Graves  has  spoken  in  fifteen  states 
and  has  been  a  regular  lecturer  in 
executive  development  programs  at 
several  institutions. 

He  is  a  member  of  a  number  of 
professional  organizations  and  is 
active  in  civic,  church,  and  service 
organizations  in  Jackson. 

Dr.  Graves,  a  native  of  Jones  Coun- 
ty, Mississippi,  is  married  to  the 
former  Hazeline  Wood  and  has  three 
children. 


Recent  reports  from  campuses  throughout  the  world 
have  been  a  source  of  dismay  and  alarm  for  most  of 
us,  as  we  hear  of  disruptive  confrontations  between 
students,  teachers,  and  administrators.  For  the  most 
part,  these  confrontations  have  solved  no  problems,  and 
have  left  destruction  and  dissension  in  their  wake. 

Fortunately,  such  disruption  has  not  been  the  case 
at  Millsaps  College.  1  would  be  less  than  honest  if  1 
told  you  that  we  have  had  no  incidents.  However,  all 
doors  on  our  campus  have  been  open.  Our  students  have 
responded  with  maturity  to  proposals  from  our  faculty 
and  administration,  while  the  administration  has  sought 
to  be  sensitive  to  the  thoughtful  suggestions  of  faculty 
and  students.  This  climate  of  open  discussion  has  re- 
sulted in  a  period  of  usually  quiet,  sometimes  dynamic 
progress  by  each  segment  of  the  Millsaps  College  com- 
inunity.  Therefore,  the  past  year  at  the  College  can 
best  be  characterized  as  a  time  for  building,  as  stu- 
dents, faculty  and  administration  work  together  to  build 
both  their  individual  futures  and  that  of  the  institution. 


STUDENTS 

On  June  2,  Millsaps  College  coinpleted  its  seventy- 
sixth  year  with  Commencement  Exercises  in  the 
Christian  Center  Auditorium.  Mr.  William  B.  Johnson, 
President  of  the  Illinois  Central  Railroad,  gave  the 
Commencement  Address,  and  the  Baccalaureate  Sermon 
was  delivered  by  Dr.  Harvey  H.  Pothoff,  Professor  of 
Christian  Theology  at  the  Iliff  School  of  Theology.  De- 
grees were  awarded  to  128  men  and  women  in  various 
disciplines  of  the  Arts,  Sciences  and  Music.  Fifty  addi- 
tional students  received  degrees  at  the  end  of  the  sum- 
mer session  in  August. 

In  keeping  with  what  has  become  a  tradition  at 
the  College,  most  of  these  graduates  are  continuing  their 
study  in  professional  or  graduate  schools,  many  of  them 
studying  under  fellowships  or  scholarships  of  national 
importance.  The  1968  graduating  class  included  one  re- 
cipient of  a  Danforth  Fellowship,  two  NDEA  Fellows, 
and  two  Designates  for  the  Woodrow  Wilson  National 
Fellowships  (out  of  a  total  of  five  awarded  to  seniors 
in  all  colleges  and  universities  in  the  State  of  Mississip- 
pi). 


An  indication  of  the  calibre  of  students  which  Mill- 
saps  attracts  and  the  quality  of  the  education  which 
these  students  receive  at  the  College  can  be  gained 
from  the  results  of  the  Graduate  Record  Examination,  a 
graduation  requirement  of  all  Millsaps  students.  At 
most  other  schools,  this  examination  is  given  to  only 
those  students  who  plan  to  enter  graduate  schools.  When 
compared  with  other  graduating  students,  the  1968  Mill- 
saps  class  scored  an  average  64.14  percentile.  Our  grad- 
uates have  consistently  recorded  scores  which  rank 
well  into  the  upper  half  of  those  taking  the  test  na- 
tion-wide. 


Enrollment 

Evidencing  the  growth  of  Millsaps'  student  com- 
munity, 277  young  men  and  women  enrolled  in  Septem- 
ber in  the  largest  freshman  class  in  the  College's  his- 
tory. Until  now,  the  1965-66  freshman  class  had  been  the 
largest  with  260  members.  The  current  freshman  class 
is  a  most  promising  one.  Of  Mississippi's  seven  Na- 
tional Merit  winners  who  chose  to  attend  college  within 
the  state,  three  have  enrolled  at  Millsaps.  Of  last  year's 
five  high  school  seniors  who  won  National  Council  of 
Teachers  of  English  Awards,  four  chose  Millsaps  for 
their  higher  education.  In  all,  twenty  National  Merit 
finalists  and  six  National  Merit  commended  students 
are  members  of  our  current  freshman  class. 

That  Millsaps'  primary  area  of  service  continues  to 
be  the  State  of  Mississippi  is  reflected  by  the  fact  that 
seventy-five  percent  of  the  members  of  our  freshman 
class  came  from  within  the  state.  However,  our  receipt 
of  the  Ford  Foundation  Challenge  Grant  as  a  "regional 
center  of  excellence"  has  done  much  to  enhance  the  col- 
lege's reputation  in  other  areas,  and  our  recruiting  ef- 
forts in  other  states  meet  with  increasing  success  with 
each  passing  year.  Fourteen  different  states  are  repre- 
sented in  this  .vear's  freshman  class.  During  the  1967-68 
sessions  twenty-seven  states  and  four  foreign  countries 
were  represented  in  the  student  body. 

Enrollment  during  the  1967-68  sessions  of  the  college 
was  the  largest  in  its  history,  with  935  students  enrolled 
in  the  fall  term  and  940  in  the  spring  term.  Our  enroll- 
ment has  continued  to  increase  in  the  1968  fall  semester, 
despite  a  regrettable  but  absolutely  necessary  tuition  in- 
crease. Nine  hundred  and  sixty-one  students  are  cur- 
rently enrolled,  which  is  the  largest  total  ever  for  the 
college.  In  coming  years,  Millsaps  will  seek  to  gradual- 
ly increase  its  enrollment,  provided  we  are  able  to  ac- 
complish this  without  compromising  our  present  admis- 
sion requirements.  We  are  looking  toward  a  goal  of 
1500  students  by  1975. 


Student   Activities 

The  Millsaps  Troubadours  have  been  selected  by  the 
United  Service  Organization  for  an  entertainment  tour 
of  military  installations  in  the  European  Command. 
This  is  the  fourth  time  in  recent  years  that  the  Trouba- 
dours were  given  such  an  invitation.  In  the  spring,  the 
Millsaps  Singers  toured  eight  states,  and  each  of  their 
concerts  was  received  with  enthusiasm,  as  were  the 
performances  of  the  Millsaps  Players,  who  completed 
another  successful  year. 


v-?. 


^■-^^h 


The  students  became  involved  this  spring  in  a  Mock 
Republican  Convention,  a  traditional  election  year  ex- 
ercise in  politics  sponsored  by  the  students.  Senator 
Strom  Thurmond  of  South  Carolina  visited  the  campus 
to  deliver  the  Mock  Convention's  keynote  address. 

In  lieu  of  the  traditional  chapel  requirement,  the 
Millsaps  Series  is  novi'  offering  convocations,  lectures, 
music,  drama,  and  art  on  a  voluntary  attendance  basis. 
The  response  from  students  has  been  most  encouraging. 


Athletics 

Dr.  James  A.  Montgomery  will  now  devote  all  his 
efforts  to  his  duties  as  Director  of  Athletics.  Under  Dr. 
Montgomery,  the  intercollegiate  and  intramural  sports 
programs  will  offer  the  opportunity  for  competitive  par- 
ticipation to  the  entire  student  body.  During  the  1967-68 
school  year,  it  is  estimated  that  more  than  one  half  of 
our  students  participated  in  some  intramural  or  inter- 
collegiate athletic  competition.  J.  C.  Anthony  replaced 
Dr.  Montgomery  as  Head  Basketball  Coach.  He  will  also 
serve  as  Dean  of  Men. 

Millsaps  continues  to  offer  financial  assistance  to  de- 
serving young  athletes  through  the  Diamond  Anniver- 
sary Scholarships,  and  has  been  successful  in  attracting 
capable  scholar-athletes  to  the  school. 

The  college's  athletic  program  has  outgrown  its 
present  facilities,  and  the  Board  of  Trustees  recently 
authorized  a  study  of  the  needs  of  the  Physical  Edu- 
cation Department.  An  architectural  firm  has  been  re- 
tained, and  an  area  of  fourteen  acres  has  been  set 
aside  for  future  development  of  these  needed  athletic 
facilities. 


Financial    Aid 

Through  the  generosity  of  the  college's  supporters, 
Millsaps'  ability  to  award  non-government  financial 
aid  to  deserving  students  has  increased  significantly  in 
recent  years.  For  example,  three  incoming  freshmen  are 
attending  as  recipients  of  David  Martin  Key  Scholar- 
ships, which  are  four-year  stipends  honoring  Dr.  D.  M. 
Key,  President  of  Millsaps  from  1923  to  1938.  Ten  other 
outstanding  high  school  graduates  have  enrolled  as  re- 
cipients of  R.  Mason  Strieker  Memorial  Scholarships. 
This  particular  fund  was  established  in  1967  in  honor 
of  Mr.  Strieker,  a  prominent  Mississippi  businessman 
and  benefactor  of  the   college. 

Aside  from  financial  aid  coming  from  private  sour- 
ces, 307  Millsaps  students  are  now  receiving  some  as- 
sistance in  the  form  of  grants  and  loans  from  govern- 
mental sources.  This  number  represents  almost  one  third 
of  the  entire  student  body. 


ACADEMIC  AFFAIRS 


Faculty 

In  the  1967-68  school  year  the  Millsaps  student  body 
was  served  by  a  faculty  of  61  full-time  and  19  part-time 
teachers.  Eighteen  members  of  the  full-time  faculty  had 
Ph.D.  degrees.  This  number  has  been  increased  to  21 
for  the  current  school  year.  The  total  does  not  include 
three  teachers  who  have  completed  the  requirements 
for  the  Ph.D.  and  whose  receipt  of  the  degree  is  expected 
within  the  current  school  year.  Five  faculty  members 
working  for  the  Ph.D.  are  in  the  dissertation  stage,  and 
it  is  hoped  that  these  degrees  will  be  received  before  the 
beginning  of  the  next  school  year. 

During  the  past  four  years,  the  college  has  made 
significant  improvement  in  its  faculty  salary  schedule, 
rising  on  the  A.A.U.P.'s  national  scale  from  a  "D"  rat- 
ing to  "C".  However,  the  demand  for  quality  teachers 
continues  to  exceed  the  supply.  It  is  imperative  that  Mill- 
saps  continually  re-emphasize  the  fact  that  a  superior 
faculty  is  an  absolutely  essential  ingredient  in  an  edu- 
cational program  of  real  excellence. 


Curriculum 

The  faculty  has  devoted  much  work  to  plans  for  fu- 
ture academic  development.  In  the  spring  the  faculty 
approved  the  establishment  of  a  Department  of  Art, 
and  also  authorized  the  establishment  of  a  Major  in 
Speech  and  Drama.  Mr.  William  Rowell,  who  came  to 
the  College  in  the  summer  from  MSCW,  is  Chairman  of 
the  Art  Department.  The  department  is  temporarily  lo- 
cated in  Galloway  Hall,  but  will  move  into  a  spacious 
area  of  galleries,  lecture  rooms,  and  offices  upon  com- 
pletion of  our  Academic  Complex. 

In  the  spring  semester  Millsaps  inaugurated  its  first 
course  in  Computer  Programming.  This  program  was 
made  possible  through  the  cooperation  of  the  Computer 
Center^  of  the  Mississippi  Research  and  Development 
Center,  which  is  located  near  the  campus.  The  course 
will  continue  to  be  taught  at  the  Computer  Center  until 
the  necessary  equipment  can  be  provided  on  the  cam- 
pus. 

After  more  than  three  years'  planning  and  work,  a 
significant  new  curriculum  was  inaugurated  in  Septem- 
ber for  incoming  freshmen.  This  new  program  is  known 
as  the  Heritage  Program,  and  is  being  offered  on  a 
pilot  basis  to  selected  students.  The  Heritage  Program 
will  integrate  such  disciplines  as  history,  art,  litera- 
ture, music,  religion,  and  philosophy  in  a  unique  ap- 
proach to  the  study  of  Western  Civilization.  The  pro- 
gram is  designed  to  replace  several  traditional  fresh- 
man courses,  and  wiU  be  taught  by  a  team  of  teachers. 

In  cooperation  with  Drew  University,  Millsaps  be- 
gan this  year  to  offer  a  junior  year  semester  in  political 
science  in  London,  England.  The  faculty  includes  mem- 
bers of  the  faculty  of  the  London  School  of  Economics 
and  Political  Science,  Oxford  University,  Leeds  Univer- 
sity and  other  outstanding  schools.

Business  Management 

The  college  has  enjoyed  a  year  of  progress  and  in- 
novation in  the  area  of  business  management.  The  Busi- 
ness Office  now  does  much  of  its  work  with  data  proc- 
essing equipmenf,  which  is  expected  to  cut  operating 
costs  and  increase  efficiency. 

The  college's  cost  of  maintenance  and  operations 
is  increasing  rapidly.  This  increase,  which  is  being  felt 
nationwide,  can  be  attributed  to  several  factors.  Among 
these  are  the  new  minimun^  wage  requirement,  the 
necessity  for  additional  administrative  personnel,  the 
need  for  trained  workmen  to  maintain  and  operate  new 
air-conditioning,  heating  and  other  equipment,  and  the 
long-delayed  need  for  capital  improvements  of  campus 
buildings. 

All  college  housing  is  now  in  excellent  condition, 
providing  attractive  and  comfortable  rooms  for  all  resi- 
dent students.  The  food  service  has  been  improved  with 
the  employment  of  professional  management  in  this 
area.  A  part-time  registered  nurse  has  been  added  to 
the  medical  staff.  During  the  past  school  year,  some 
eight  hundred  students  were  treated  for  various  ill- 
nesses in  the  infirmary. 


Physical   Facilities 

The  air-conditioning  and  renovation  of  the  Christian 
Center  has  been  accomplished,  partially  with  proceeds 
from  the  "Toward  a  Destiny  of  Excellence"  program. 
The  improvements  include  a  new  lighting  system,  a 
larger  stage  area,  additional  stage  equipment,  and  sev- 
eral new   seminar  rooms  and   faculty   offices. 

Construction  has  started  on  the  new  Academic  Com- 
plex, a  magnificent  $2.6  million  structure.  This  building 
will  be  partially  financed  through  proceeds  from  the 
'Toward  a  Destiny  of  Excellence"  effort.  When  com- 
pleted, the  Complex  will,  house  a  library  addition,  art 
and  music  centers,  lecture  rooms,  recital  rooms,  and  of- 
fices. It  will  contain  a  Computer  Center,  where  a  com- 
plete line  of  both  computer  and  data  processing  equip- 
ment will  be  available  for  use  by  faculty,  administra- 
tion and  students.  The  Complex,  which  will  be  a  three- 
story  structure  longer  than  a  football  field,  will  also 
contain  an  audio-visual  center,  with  storage  and  re- 
trieval areas  for  programmed  instructional  material. 

The  construction  of  the  Academic  Complex,  which 
has  been  described  as  the  most  exciting  educational 
construction  in  the  state's  recent  history,  will  do  much 
to  signify  a  new  era  of  excellence  for  the  college.  The 
building  will  be  completed  by  1970. 


Government  Assistance 

In  recent  years  the  college  has  given  considerable 
attention  to  government  programs  of  financial  assist- 
ance. During  the  1967-68  school  year,  Millsaps  received 
more  than  $90,000  for  faculty  research  programs  and 
for  classroom  equipment,  and  over  $80,000  to  aid  in 
the  development  of  its  academic  program. 


EXTERNAL  RELATIONS 


The  major  external  activities  of  alumni  relations, 
public  relations,  publications,  and  fund-raising  have 
been  merged  into  one  new  department — the  Department 
of  Institutional  Development.  This  consolidation  was  ef- 
fected to  create  a  more  efficient  and  economical  opera- 
tion, and  should  provide  more  effective  coordination 
of  these  important  areas.  The  Department  has  begun 
to  use  data  processing  equipment  in  the  compilation  of 
mailing  lists  and  gift  records. 


Alumni 

The  Millsaps  Alumni  Association  enjoyed  a  most 
successful  year  during  the  presidency  of  Dr.  Eugene 
Countiss,  and  the  association  continues  to  meet  with 
success  during  the  administration  of  Dr.  Countiss'  suc- 
cessor, Mr.  H.  V.  Allen,  Jr. 

The  Development  Department  plans  and  stages  the 
annual  Homecoming  Weekend  in  the  fall  and  the  Alumni 
Weekend  in  the  spring.  In  May,  Alumni  Weekend,  in- 
cluding Past  Presidents  Day,  the  All-Sports  Award  Ban- 
quet, and  Alumni  Day,  attracted  more  than  600  persons 
to  the  campus.  Highlights  of  the  weekend  were  talks 
by  Dr.  Ross  Moore,  senior  member  of  the  faculty,  and 
former  pro  football  quarterback  Bill  Wade. 

Supporters  of  the  college  continue  to  make  gratify- 
ing contributions  to  meet  current  operating  costs.  The 
1967-68  Alumni  Fund  won  national  recognition  from  the 
American  Alumni  Council  for  improvement  in  the  num- 
ber of  alumni  participating  in  the  fund.  Under  the  di- 
rection of  new  Alumni  Fund  Chairman  G.  C.  Clark  of 
Jackson,  this  year's  alumni  support  for  current  opera- 
tions is  exceeding  expectations. 


Church   Relations 

The  response  of  Mississippi  Methodists  to  the  needs 
of  its  institutions  through  the  Methodist  Action  Crusade 
has  been  a  source  of  excitement  and  encouragement. 
Millsaps  will  receive  $1,500,000  from  this  campaign, 
which  will  be  the  largest  amount  received  from  a  single 
church  campaign  since  the  college  was  founded  in  1890. 

T»he  Church-College  relationship  is  a  two-way  street, 
and  Millsaps  is  conscious  of  its  responsibility  to  the 
Methodists  of  Mississippi.  Primarily,  it  is  to  the  educa- 
tion of  young  men  and  women  who  plan  to  enter  church- 
related  vocations.  Eight  members  of  the  1968  graduating 
class  have  enrolled  in  Methodist  theological  seminar- 
ies, and  there  are  now  twenty-eight  Methodist  ministerial 
students  studying  at  Millsaps,  many  of  whom  already 
serve  their  church  as  student  pastors.  Eight  students 
are  preparing  for  careers  in  Christian  education,  three 
plan  to  be  church  choral  directors,  and  one  a  deaconess. 


8 


The  Methodist  congregations  in  Mississippi  have 
rendered  invaluable  assistance  to  the  College  in  the  re- 
cruitment of  capable  students.  Films  dealing  with  the  Col- 
lege have  been  shown  by  church  groups,  and  Methodists 
have  worked  to  foster  interest  in  Millsaps  among  tal- 
ented prospective  students. 

The  North  Mississippi  Methodist  Conference  held  its 
Annual  Conference  on  the  campus  in  June,  and  the 
Mississippi  Conference  will  meet  on  the  campus  next 
summer.  The  Methodist  Youth  Assembly  of  the  Missis- 
sippi Conference  was  welcomed  to  the  campus  in  Au- 
gust. 

Millsaps  seeks  to  strengthen  its  ties  with  Mississippi 
Methodists,  who  ha^e  been  a  source  of  spiritual  and  ma- 
terial support  for  the  mission  to  which  the  college  is 
called. 


"Toward  a  Destiny  of  Excellence"  Program 

The  Ford  Foundation  Challenge  Grant  pledges  are 
approaching  $3,200,000,  and  the  amount  received  in  pay- 
ment on  these  pledges  has  passed  $2,400,000.  Since  the 
Ford  Foundation  will  allow  the  college  to  use  its  regular 
annual  giving  to  match  its  grant,  our  total  matchable 
funds  have  gone  past  $3,000,000.  With  less  than  eight 
months  to  go  in  the  campaign,  it  is  imperative  that 
we  receive  payments  on  the  pledges  already  made  and 
locate  other  gifts  in  sufficient  number  and  size  before 
the  June  30,  1969  deadline. 


Millsaps  Associates 

In  an  attempt  to  recognize  the  many  individuals 
who  have  contributed  generously  of  their  time  and  mon- 
ey to  the  Ford  Challenge  Grant  Campaign,  the  Millsaps 
Associates  sponsored  a  "Target-Victory"  Dinner  on  May 
23  at  the  Hotel  Heidelberg.  Dr.  Andrew  Holt,  President 
of  the  University  of  Tennessee,  gave  the  principal  ad- 
dress at  the  meeting,  which  was  attended  by  over  500 
workers  and  contributors.  A  $50,000  grant  from  the 
Kresge  Foundation  was  announced  at  this  banquet.  The 
Associates,  under  the  chairmanship  of  Mr.  Joe  N.  Bailey, 
Jr.  of  Coffeeville,  continue  to  provide  excellent  support 
for  the  college. 


SUMMARY 

Millsaps,  like  other  higher  institutions  of  learning, 
is  faced  with  problems.  These  include  the  need  to  in- 
crease faculty  salaries,  increase  scholarship  funds,  pur- 
chase new  equipment,  construct  needed  physical  facili- 
ties, and  increase  library  holdings.  However,  our  prob- 
lems are  not  insurmountable  ones.  With  ultimate  faith 
in  the  College  and  its  constituency,  we  see  no  reason 
why  those  who  love  and  recognize  the  value  of  Millsaps 
College  will  not  be  able  to  continue  their  concerted  ef- 
forts, building  toward  the  College's  destiny  of  excellence.

Academic  Complex 


The  college's  landscape  has  been  altered  signifi- 
cantly by  construction  work  on  the  $2.6  million  Academic 
Complex.  The  top  photograph,  taken  in  July,  1968,  shows 
the  old  parking  lot  between  Murrah  Hall  and  the  Mill- 
saps-Wilson    Library.    The    bottom    picture    depicts    the 


same  area  in  October,  after  construction  crews  had 
started  their  work  on  what  has  been  called  "the  most 
exciting  construction  at  a  Mississippi  educational  insti- 
tution in  years."  Construction  of  the  Academic  Complex 
is  scheduled  for  completion  by  1970.

Homecoming,    1968 

James  .1.  Livesay,  the  Associate  Di- 
rector of  Development  for  Alumni  Af- 
lairs,  called  it  "one  of  the  best  Home- 
comings yet."  Alumni  Association 
President  H.  V.  Allen,  Jr.  agreed,  as 
did  the  hundreds  of  Millsaps  alumni 
and  friends  who  returned  to  the  camp- 
us for  Homecoming  Weekend,  Octo- 
ber 11-12. 

Highlights  of  the  weekend  -long 
events  were  the  crowning  of  Miss 
Mary  Belinda  Bettcher  as  Homecom- 
ing Queen,  the  naming  of  Chancellor 
James  S.  Ferguson  as  Alumnus  of  tiie 
Year,  and  the  surprising  61-8  win  over 
traditional  rival  Southwestern  of  Mem- 
phis in  the  Homecoming  game. 

Bishop  Homer  Ellis  Finger,  Resi- 
dent Bishop  of  the  Nashville  Area  of 
the  United  Methodist  Church  and 
President  of  the  College  from  1952  to 
1963,  returned  to  Millsaps  to  deliver 
the  address  for  the  Convocation  on 
Friday,  October  11.  The  Convocation 
formally  opened  the  school's  seventy- 
seventh  session,  and  also  served  as  a 
commencem.ent  of  the  Homecoming 
activities. 

Alumni  Association  President  Allen 
and  College  President  Dr.  Benjamin 
B.  Graves  presented  Miss  Bettcher 
during  the  halftime  of  the  football 
game.  Miss  Bettcher,  the  daughter  of 
Mr.  and  Mrs.  Warren  R.  Bettcher  of 
Little  Rock,  Arkansas,  is  a  senior 
majoring  in  elementary  education, 
and  has  been  a  cheerleader  for  four 
years.  She  is  a  member  of  the  Kappa 
Delta  sorority. 

Other  members  of  the  Homecoming 
Court,  who  were  chosen  in  a  campus 
election,  were  Cynthia  Lynn  Brunson 
of  Jackson,  Diane  McLemore  of  Gulf- 
port,  Patricia  Murphree  of  Aberdeen, 
and  Vicki  Lynn  Ozborn  of  In- 
dianapolis, Indiana. 

During  the  Homecoming  Banquet 
Saturday  evening,  Dr.  James  S. 
Ferguson,  Chancellor  of  the  Univer- 
sity of  North  Carolina  at  Greensboro, 
was  named  the  Alumnus  of  the  Year. 
.Dr.  Ferguson,  who  is  recognized  as 
one  of  the  South's  leading  educators 
both  as  a  teacher  and  administrator, 
served  on  the  Millsaps  faculty  from 
1944  to  1962.  He  was  Dean  of  the  Col- 
lege from  1954  to  1962.

Millsaps  Confers   Honorary  Degree  on  Strieker 


During  the  October  11  Convocation, 
which  formally  opened  the  school's 
seventy-seventh  session,  Millsaps  con- 
ferred the  Honorary  Degree  of  Doctor 
of  Laws  on  businessman  Robert 
Mason  Strieker  of  Woodville,  Missis- 
sippi. 

Dean  Frank  M.  Laney  presented 
Dr.  Strieker  to  President  Benjamin 
Graves  for  the  conferring  of  the  de- 
gree. Here  is  the  text  of  Dean  Laney's 
remarks. 

"Robert  Mason  Strieker  was  born 
in  the  last  quarter  of  the  19th  century 
in  Fort  Adamis,  Mississippi,  where 
his  grandparents  had  settled  in  the 
1840's  after  leaving  their  native  Ger- 
many to  make  a  new  life  for  them- 
selves in  America.  Mr.  Strieker  re- 
ceived his  early  education  in  private 
tutorial  schools  in  Ft.  Adams,  and 
continued  his  preparatory  and  early 
college  training  in  Mississippi  and  in 
Virginia,  where  he  attended  old  Ran- 
dolph-Macon Academy.  From  1903  to 
1905  he  attended  Millsaps  College.  Be- 
cause his  financial  resources  would 
not  permit  him  to  continue  his  study 
for  m.ore  than  two  years  and  because 
of  his  evident  desire  to  make  every 
minute  of  his  student  years  at  this 
college  contribute  to  his  greatest 
growth,  he  was  granted  an  unprece- 
dented permission  to  take  whatever 
courses  seemed  most  profitable  for 
his  development.  He  has  himself  re- 
ferred to  these  years  at  Millsaps 
as  his  'Best  Years,'  when  his  'young 
mind,  thirsty  for  knowledge,'  reacted 
to  'new  discoveries,  new  ideas,  new 
principles,  forces  and  scientific  rea- 
sons for  the  things  that  keep  us  alert, 
happy  and  appreciative  of  hfe  itself.' 

'Leaving  college  after  these  two 
years,  he  returned  to  Fort  Adams, 
where  he  entered  upon  a  life-long  ca- 
reer in  the  timber  and  cattle  business. 
In  more  recent  years  he  has  been  in- 
terested in  oil  development.  In  time 
he  came  to  be  recognized  as  an  au- 
thority in  these  fields  in  the  area  of 
the  lower  Mississippi  River  Valley, 
and  as  a  business  man  of  integrity 
and  broad  knowledge.  Through  the 
years  he  maintained  an  interest  in 
cultural  and  reUgious  values,  and 
i'xempUfied  in  his  community  the 
tirtues  of  good  citizenship  and  diUgent 
labor. 

'His  love  and  appreciation  for  his 
Mma  Mater  and  for  its  contribution 
;o  his  life  and  work  were  demonstrat- 
?d  in  a  peculiarly   effective   manner 


when,  in  the  spring  of  1967,  he  came 
forward  and  offered  a  generous  con- 
tribution to  the  Ford  Challenge  Grant 
Campaign  of  Millsaps  College,  provid- 
ing for  that  campaign  a  vigorous  be- 
ginning and  for  his  fellow  alumni  an 
inspiring  challenge  to  follow  his  lead- 
ership in  undergirding  the  cause  of 
church-reiated  higher  education  in 
Mississippi.  It  was  characteristic  of 
Robert  Mason  Strieker  that  his  gift 
to  this  cause  should  be  designated  for 
the  purpose  of  providing  scholarships 
for  worthy  students  who,  like  himself 


many  years  before,  find  themselves 
without  the  material  resources  to  pro- 
vide for  a  complete  college  education. 
"In  recognition,  therefore,  of  his 
exemplary  contributions  to  the  busi- 
ness life  of  his  community  and  state, 
his  deep  appreciation  for  learning, 
his  interest  in  the  youth  of  the  na- 
tion, and  his  love  and  loyal  devotion 
to  his  Alma  Mater,  the  Faculty  and 
Board  of  Trustees  of  Millsaps  College 
have  approved  the  conferring  of  the 
Honorary  Degree  of  Doctor  of  Laws 
upon   Robert   Mason   Strieker."

Football 


SURPRISING  MAJORS  HAVE  5-1   RECORD 


The  surprising  Millsaps  Majors  are 
having  their  best  football  season  in 
more  than  a  decade.  Following  a  re- 
building year  in  1967  (1  win,  6  losses 
and  1  tie),  the  Majors  of  Coaches 
Harper  Davis  and  Tommy  Ranager 
recorded  victories  over  Henderson 
State  (22-14),  Sewanee  (16-0),  Hard- 
ing (21-6),  Northwood  (45-7),  and 
Southwestern  (61-8),  before  losing  to 
a  tough  Ouachita  University  team 
(10-24). 

The  Majors  have  three  games  re- 
maining on  their  schedule,  and  each 
of  the  games  will  be  played  away 
from  home.  The  remaining  opponents 
on  the  schedule  are  Maryville  College 
on  November  2,  Georgetown  College 
on  November  9,  and  Randolph-Macon 
College  on  November  16.  Alumni  liv- 
ing in  the  areas  where  these  games 
will  be  played  should  make  an  effort 
to  see  the  Majors  in  action.  They  play 
an  exciting  brand  of  football,  and  it 
is  very  possible  that  they  will  finish 
the  season  with  an  8-1  record. 

As  might  be  expected  during  a  suc- 
cessful season,  a  great  deal  of  atten- 
tion has  been  devoted  to  the  team. 
Meridian  columnist  John  Perkins,  '61, 
who  is  also  a  member  of  the  Missis- 
sippi State  House  of  Representatives, 
commented  at  length  about  the  Maj- 
ors following  their  first  three  games. 
With  Mr.  Perkins'  permission,  we 
are  reprinting  his  comments  from  the 
MERIDIAN  STAR  of  September  30. 

"Sweet  nectar  of  victory  tastes  dou- 
bly   sweet    to    lowly    peasants    who 


normally  drink  the  dregs  of  bitter  de- 
feat. 

"The  mightiest  of  football's  herald- 
ed legions  lie  fallen  in  the  dust  of  de- 
feat. There  is  no  joy  at  South  Bend 
and  West  Point  where  Notre  Dame 
and  Army  lick  their  wounds  and  In- 
diana's roses  have  wilted  in  the  Kan- 
sas sun.  The  atmosphere  at  Stark- 
ville  must  resemble  a  tomb  as  the 
awful  truth  sinks  in  on  loyal  grads  of 
Old  A.  &  M.  But  the  loudest  horns  of 
celebration  sound  not  at  Tuscaloosa 
or  Los  Angeles  where  Alabama  or 
Southern  Cal  rooters  have  become 
glutted  with  victory.  Harken  the  mer- 
riment from  Methodist  Hill,  where 
Millsaps  revels  in  a  3-0  record,  tops 
in  the  nation  for  ALL  college  football 
teams. 

"For  nearly  two  decades  Millsaps 
has  been  the  laughing  stock  of  col- 
lege football,  even  falling  out  of  the 
class  of  ancient  and  hated  rival  Mis- 
sissippi College  and  forced  to  endure 
ridicule  from  more  prosperous  athlet- 
ic quarters  while  the  Major  gridders 
wallowed  in  the  humiliation  of  de- 
feat after  defeat. 

"Now,  however,  the  bottom  rail  is 
on  top  —  even  though  the  position  may 
be  temporary  as  the  season  lunges 
from  week  to  week  and  the  thin  but 
sturdy  Purple  line  seeks  to  hold  out 
the  assaults  of  enemy  runners  and 
passers  and  Major  scorers  eke  out 
enough  points  to  raise  victory's  stand- 
ard. How  long  the  bubble  endures  be- 


fore the  almost-inevitable  burst  comes 
is  open  to  speculation. 

"It  has  been  a  long  time  since  a 
real,  honest  -  to  -  goodness  miracle 
transpired.  One  may  be  in  the  grid- 
iron making.  Millsaps  has  won  two 
games  it  was  not  supposed  to  win- 
rallying  in  the  fourth  period  to  snatch 
victory  from  defeat  against  Hender- 
son State,  an  Arkansas  team  which 
walloped  Mississippi  College  a  week 
later,  and  then  scaled  the  mountain 
in  Tennessee  to  shutout  Sewanee,  al- 
ways a  strong  foe.  Alumni  almost  ex- 
pected this  weekend's  21-6  win  over 
Harding  College. 

"Can  Millsaps  go  undefeated?  Will 
the  Majors  win  the  remainder  of  their 
games  and  accomplish  a  miracle  and 
wind  up  9-0  after  compiling  a  dismal 
1-6-1  record  last  year?  It  would  be 
more  realistic  to  expect  the  Fighting 
Majors  to  wind  up  5-4  or  maybe  even 
7-2  with  a  stretch  of  luck  and  an  all- 
out  effort.  .  .but  there  IS  always  the 
chance.   .   .  . 

"The  success  Millsaps  is  enjoying 
on  the  gridiron  may  be  a  harbinger 
for  the  small,  liberal  arts  college 
which  has  always  stressed  academics 
over  athletics  to  the  benefit  of  the 
students  but  not  always  to  the  great 
est  success  on  the  football  field  or  or 
the   basketball   court. 

"Perhaps,  able  young  men  are  now 
realizing  that  a  good  education  car 
be  coupled  with  low-pressure,  play 
for-fun  athletics  and  a  successful  ca 
reer  in  business  or  the  professions  a 
a  later  date."
