GREETINGS FROM THE
PRESIDENT OF THE COLLEGE

One of my privileges as President
of the College is to write a few words
of welcome for the *'M" Book. The
request to write such a message is
one of the many natural expressions
of the friendly spirit for which Mary-
ville students and faculty are noted.

I am glad to welcome every student
to our friendly and beautiful campus,
to the disciplines of high quality col-
lege work, and to the influence of
''The Maryville Spirit."

"The Maryville Spirit" is not easy
to define although it is very real to
thousands. In general outline it has
long been described as containing the
following elements: (1) Breadth of
Human Interest, (2) Thorough
Scholarship, (3) Genuine Religion,
and (4) Unselfish Service.

These are essential qualities of life
in time of war or peace. I hope you
will find them prominent at Mary-
ville.

RALPH WALDO LLOYD
President of Maryville College

PREFACE

Scared of coming to college, freshman? Don't
he. Take it from us, Maryville is the friend-
liest plage in the world. You see, through the
Y.M.C.A. and Y.W.C.A. your initiation to col-
lege life will not be one of hazing and embar-
rassment. You'll be greeted by members of
both the Y's, and they will do their level best
to make you feel at home in the shortest
possible time.

This little handbook is just our attempt to
give you some Inside information about Mary-
ville College which the regular catalog cannot
include. We hope we can give you an idea of
the side of college life which makes it so easy
to forget assignments for a while ; and also,
we hope it may increase your impatience to get
into "the swing of things" here at school.

GENERAL INTRODUCTION TO

MARYVILLE COLLEGE

MARYVILLE COLLEGE

"Knoxville Terminal! Change here for all
points south!" Hot dog! This is it. You're
tired, dirty and somewhat unnerved by your
trip, and you have a frightened, excited feeing
at the thought, of soon seeing with your own
eyes the place you have visualized for so '.ong.
Your train or bus is rapidly emptying ; so get
out quickly. See those fellows and girls out
there with Maryville lapel pins and streamers
on their coats? They are looking for you; so
go to them if they don't grab you first.

If you should not happen to see anyone
wearing a streamer, then keep your eyes open,
for anyone carrying luggage with a Maryville
sticker on it like your own. Perhaps you have
already met Maryville people on the same bus
or train, but if you're alone and are coming
by train at an unusually early or late hour.
you'd better catch a taxi to the bus depot. If
you are coming by bus, just wait for the next
Maryville bus. The buses run from Knoxville
to Maryville on the hour, every hour except ;§
from 11:00 P. M. to 5:00 A. M. *

■i

During the day you will be greeted at Knox- ']
ville and again at Maryville. Here the fellows ^
will see tha.t the baggage you have with you
is taken care of, though you may have to i
carry some of it.

You have six fairly long blocks to walk across
the town and up college hill. Tlien you are
here. Your first destination is the tables set
up on the lawns at which you receive your
room reservations, turn in your baggage checks
for collection at the frieght office, and ask any
questions you like. The girls at the informa-
tion tables want to help you, so don't be
afraid to ask them.

'M" HANDBOOK

You are probably too tired when you first
arrive to 'cake a real survey of the campus, but
by evening you may feel like roaming. Let's
take a little tour of the campus now.

You proI)a))ly came up the Corduroy from
town, so let's start our tour from the gates
there. Directly in fK)nt of us is the whit?
frame building Baldwin Hall, one of the girls'
dormitories. To the right is Voorhees Chapel,
the dark red brick building in which the daily
morning worship is conducted and where all
kinds of entertainments are held. Looking down
the street from the Chapel is a large yellow"
brick building .Carnegie Hall, the men's dor-
mitory ; and across the street from Carnegie is
Memorial Hall, another girl's dormitory.

In front of the Chapel is Anderson Hall, a
red brick building, one of the three oldest build-
ings on the HiM. Here are located the offices
of President Lloyd, where sympathetic, under-
standing counsel is given to all who need it;
Dean Hunter's office where you go for friendly
advice on more things than grades ; Miss Clem-
mie's office where you may find out about self-
help; the treasurer's office, where you will get
rid of your money; and the registrar's office,
with which you will become very familiar. The
rest of the building is devoted to classrooms.

As we walk out of Anderson past the foun-
tain in front of us is the Book Store, where
desk and study equipment can be bought at
reasonable prices. A branch of the United
vStates Post Office is located in the book room.
From here mail is delivered to the dormitories
and offices. Mail should be addressed: College
Station, Maryville, Tennessee, with the addition
of your dormitory and room number. The

MAKYVILLE COLLEGE

Book Store also supplies a loan library called
the James E. Hills Library-.

To the left of the Book Store is Pearson's
Hall, a large brick building with white columns,
another dormitory for women. Most upperclass
women room in Pearson's, while Memorial and
Baldwin accommodate the sophomores and fresh-
men. On the first floor of Pearson's is the
dining hall Math which you will soon becom.,-
faimiliar.

Behind Pearson's Hall to the left is the Ealph
Max Lamar Hospital. A free clinic is held twice
a week, and in case of slight illnesses no
charge is made for nursing. The hospital has
a very reasonable charge for patients confined
to the hospital.

On leaving Pearson's Hall we shall go to
Thaw Hall, the newest and largest building on
the Hill. Just before reaching Thaw, glance to
the left and you will see the Willard Memorial
where President Lloyd lives. In Thaw Hall is
located the Lamar Memorial Library wh'ch con-
tains over 50,000 books. The library is open
twelve hours a day from Monday to ' Saturday.
The museum is located in a room partitioned
off the library to the left of the entrance. In
this room are found collections of rare objects
from Japan, Korea, and China; relics of the
Indians who used to live in this region of
Tennessee: antiques from the Civil AVar; a
model of our own college when it was known as
"The Log College;" and many other interesting
and valuable objects representative of the world.
The second floor is nsed for classrooms.

We now leave Thaw and take a short cut
over to Bartlett and the swimming pool, pass-
ing to the left of Fayerweather Science Hall in
which are located the chemistry, physics, bi-
ology, zoology, and home economics laboratories
and lecture rooms.

'M" HANDBOOK

Bartlett Hall is one of the oldest Y.M.C.A.
buildings in the South. It was built in 1901,
the brick being made by the students them-
selves under the leadership of Kin Takahashi, a
Japanese student. In this building are located
the Y.M.C.A. Auditorium; a small gymnasium
and the newly organized Recreation Center. You
will quickly become acquainted with this Center,
for almost every type of entertainment is pro-
vided for you there.

The swimming pool, where all the meets are;
held, is located in a separate building, to the
left of Bartlett Hall. The pool itself is
twenty-five by seventy-five feet. It is open for
use on regular days throughout the week.

Behind Bartlett is the Alumni Gymnasium,
one hundred ten feet square, equipped with a,
maple floor and collapsible bleachers.

As we walk out past the swimming pool we
see the football field on the left and the base-
ball diamond on the right just before we enter
the college woods. The woods are popular for
picnics and Sunday afternoon walks, and the
natural ampitheatre in the center of the woods
is used for various programs during the year.

From the campus can be seen the distant
Cumberland mountains on the west and the
Great Smokies on the east. Truly. Maryville
College has one of the most beautiful campuses
of any college in America, and it is set in
unusually beautiful surroundings.

The Student Council is an active organi-
zation in which all of the classes are repre-
sented. It is your organization and your voice
in the activities of the school.

Student problems and ideas are discussed and
brought to the faculty for consideration. We
call it a clearing house between "management
and labor." Last year the Council organized
and sponsored a recreation center for facul y
and students, and also was responsible foV
Town Night.

"We are looking forward to a grand year.
Lets all cooperate.

PRESIDENT'S WELCOME

Hello, New Girls! '

I know each of you must be very excited,
because coming to Maryville is something to get
excited about. You are indeed lucky to be one
of those in college this year, for so many have
had to discontinue their education. Let us
remember this as next year we strive to live
up to our highest ideals and hopes.

Y.W.C.A. has a place for each of you next
year, but it is up to you to do your part. We
hope to see each of you on our hikes, helping
at the missions and in our Sunday worship
service.

Our motto for the coming year is "Laborers
in the Harvest." May the next year bring you
many joys while laboring in His harvest.

Sincerely.

ACTIVITY

CHRISTIAN SERVICE. Maryville's Y.W.C.A. is
open to all the girls on the Hill. It has al-
ways endeavored to help girls find real satis-
faction in well-balanced Christian living. Keep-
ing this aim ever in view, Y.W. has organized
and conducts such groups as Nu Gramma Sigma,
Pi Gamma Sigma, /the Big Sister movements.

WORSHIP SERVICES. The Sunday afternoon
worship services are planned to give inspiration
and help. Problems of vital interest to all college
girls are presented — personal, social, and inter-
national problems. Both new and old girls have
opportunity to assist in some part of these
services, and are greatly benefitted by the
actual participation.

COMMUNITY SERVICE AND RECREATION.
Besides the joint activities with Y.M.C.A. the
program of the Y.W.C.A. includes such activities
as the production of the May Day pageant, semi-
annual tennis tournaments, social service work in
the mission chapels and in the orphanage, and var-
ious social activities for the Y.W. members. The
•'Y" rooms in Thaw Hall are- especially well adapt-
ed and equipped for group events or individual
relaxation and enjoyment. All members are in-
vited to use the "Y" rooms, which are always
open throughout the day.

You will find that the members of the "Y"
cabinet, the Nu Gamma and Pi Gamma leaders,
and the old members of the "Y" are willing to
help in every way possible. Give Y.W. a
chance to be your friend and guide and join the
old members as they strive toward the year's
motto— "Laborers in the Harvest."

Arts Department presents Handel's "Messiah"
with a chorus of a hundred or more voices, built
around the nucleus of the choir and the glee
clubs, accompanied by the college orchestra.

CULTURAL

Artist's Series

These urograms are sponsored by the Y.W.C.
A. and the Y.M.C.A. Each year the college
brings to the campus a number of featured
artists. Tickets are sold to the public; the
cost to the student is included in the Student
Activity Fee.

MARYVILLE COLLEGE

Guest Speakers ^

Each year the College brings many outstand- '

ing speakers from various parts of the state, J

the country, and the world to give the students ^

first-hand information on the type of work '
which they do.

ENTERTAINMENT

The Social Committer which is organized by
the Student Council has charge of all social
and recreational- activity outside of the regularly
planned programs of the year.

Recreation Room

The Recreation Room is the pride and joy of
all students because it is something which they
dreamed of, organized, planned and finally madie
a reality. The Room is open at certain times
each day to any student who wants to play a'
game of ping-pong, or try his hand at shuffle-
board or badminton, or simply curl up in a
comfortable chair and read a magazine.

Town Night

Ttiesda'y night is not just Tuesday night
anymore — it's Town Night, the night when you
can get off the campus to see a movie or go
boMiing. Sponsored by the Student Council,
Town Night has been a big success; and it
certainly helps to break the regularity of the
week's work and study.

ATHLETICS

38 MARYVILLE COLLEGE

INTERCOLLEGIATE

For over half a century Maryville has main-
tained teams in intercollegiate competition. Be-
cause few men remain at Maryville and other
colleges, there will probably be no intercoUtgiate
athletics at Maryville for the duration of the

INTRAMURAL

The intramural program provides Maryville
men with a chance to participate in various
non-varsity sports for good fellowship, vigorous
competition, and physical fitness. Running
through the year as part of the physical edu-
cation program, two types of competition are
offered. The division or team sports are con-
ducted in two leagues, society and independent,
operating on the same schedule. Play-offs are
held between league champions. The all-college
sports are engaged in individually or in small
groups, each person representing himself. Fac-
ulty teams or individuals may take part in in-
tramural activity but are not eligible for awards.
Sports which are included in the intramural pro-
gram are speedball, football, basketball, swim-
ming, track, and softball. A phamphlet has
been prepared in former years which sets forth
the organization, objectives, regulations, point
system and other informa'Jon concerning the
program.

"M" HANDBOOK

POINT SYSTEM

As at most colleges, there are no longer
intercollegiate contests for women at Maryville.
For them has been substituted the Point Sys-
tem, directed by Mrs. Evelyn N. Queener and
her assistants. Like the men's intramural pro-
gram, the Point System attracts those seeking
voluntary and required exercise.

Participation in the different sports qualifies
a girl for a given number of points. To those
earning over 300 points awards are made at the
end of the year. Elvery girl must walk the
seven-mile loop twelve times a year, swim twice
a month, and spend an hour in exercise daily.
Those who play basketball, soccer, indoor base-
ball, or volleyball earn 30 points for their team.
Taking part in swimming, track, tennis, hiking
or aerial dart tournaments entitles a girl to
50 points. Additional points are awarded for
sportsmanship, membership on the squad, man-
aging a team, and perfect attendance. The ob-
servance of health rules gives a maximum of
25 points a semester. High scholarship adds ai
percentage of the total. Members of "M" Club
(those who have earned at least 400 points) taka
a mountain hike each spring, and enjoy several
other activities.

Common Sense For College Students

Have regular hours for study— and use them
for study. Effective studying is partly a
science and partly an art to be mastered by
each individual through studying his own par-
ticular habits and needs.

"Tote fair" with the home folks. Match
their sacrifice with your diligence. Write to
them, especially Mother, at least once a week.
Your neglect will convict you of the crime of
ingratitude.

Be yourself— your best self, consistently. If
you have ideals, hold on to them ; if you have
questions, ask them; if you have ideas, put
them to work.

Don't let anyone tell you that '•activities"
are as important or more important than stud-

"M" HANDBOOK 43

ies. They're not — at least not for any student
who has a reasonable amount of brains and in-
tellectual interest. If you haven't these, leave
college now!

When you get a chance to further a friend-
ship with a professor, don't be a fool and think
it isn't doner— grab it!

Spiritual "rickets" may be fashionable with
some students but you cannot walk with under-
nourished legs. And walk you must to live,
and live you must before you dare to die. So —
go to church ; not to please the school, but
to refill yourself with strength, courage, and
truth in order that you may perform with the
greatest ability your life tasks as you see them
cut out before you.

'Experience is the stuff of growth; and you
grow only w^hen ou reflect upon and evaluate
your experiences and the experiences of the race,
and then on the basis of such evaluations, act
more wisely in the future from the way you
have acted in the past.

noblest traditions of the association of
education and religion. Its directors
are elected by the Synod of Mid-South
of the Presbyterian Church in the
U.S.A.

It is a Christian liberal arts college
with the purpose of providing a general
cultural education. During the war
period it also rendered a special service
in its Army Air Forces college training
program.

Its fees are deliberately kept at a
low level for the benefit of those who
might not be able to attend otherwise.
This makes earnest cooperation on the
part of all an essential factor.

It desires to select its students on
the basis of preparation, earnestness,
capacity, character, and co-operative-
ness.
