MARYVILLE  COLLEGE  BULLETIN 

Published  by   Maryville  College.   Maryville,  Tennessee

VOL.  XLIX  April,   1951  No.  7 


Published  bi-monthly  by   Maryville  College.   Entered   May  24,    1904,   at  Maryville,   Tennessee,   as   second-class 
mail  matter.  Acceptance  for  mailing  at  special  rate  of  postage  provided  for  in  Section  1103,  Act  of  October

Dear  Fellow  Alumni  of  Maryville  College: 

Another  year  has  rolled  bv  in  alumni  history.  Notable  since  the  last  Bulletin  has 
been  the  excellent  and  proud  use  of  the  new  Fine  Arts  building  on  the  campus  which 
many  of  you  have  not  had  the  pleasure  of  seeing.  Dedication  of  this  building  will 
take  place  during  Commencement  Week. 

A  local  event  was  a  reception  honoring  the  twentieth  anniversary  of  Dr.  and 
Mrs.  Ralph  Lloyds'  outstanding  leadership  at  our  College,  given  by  students  and 
faculty. 

Also,  at  a  banquet  for  him  several  honors  were  accorded  Coach  Honaker  for  a 
record  thirty  years  of  athletic  leadership.  He  was  presented  a  new  Buick  automobile 
and  a  sizable  sum  of  money  (and  a  vacation  trip  was  suggested)  as  a  reward  for  the 
excellent  tvpe  of  sportsmanship  which  he  has  so  consistently  fostered.  Former 
athletes  came  from  near  and  far  to  congratulate  and  honor  him. 

Although  it  is  not  yet  under  construction  a  new  Chapel  has  been  assured  for 
Marvville  College.  It  is  mv  understanding  that  as  soon  as  architects'  plans  are  ap- 
proved and  materials  are  made  available,  work  will  begin  on  this  new  and  much 
needed  edifice  in  memory  of  Dr.  Samuel  T.  Wilson. 

Commencement  Week  this  year  begins  May  10th  Alumni  Day  will  be  May  12th 
and  the  dedication  of  the  Fine  Arts  Center  on  May  13th.  We  hope  you  will  plan 
your  vacation  now  to  include  this  opportunity  to  come  back  to  see  what  vour  Alma 
Mater  is  now  doing  toward  the  continuation  of  education.  Also  it  is  an  excellent  op- 
portunity for  class  groups  to  get  together  for  their  reunions,  to  renew  old  acquaint- 
ances and  think  and  talk  again  of  the  wonderful  times  we  have  had  together  in  years 
gone  by. 

Paving  vour  alumni  dues  will  help  us  to  keep  up  with  students,  including  your- 
self. We  feel  this  Bulletin  coming  to  you  each  year  should  bring  you  satisfaction  in 
news  of  your  Alma  Mater  and  of  your  contemporaries,  and  that  you  reallv  want  to 
continue  to  keep  it  coming.  Now  is  the  best  time  to  write  and  mail  that  check  for 
$2.00  to  Maryville  College  Alumni  Association  along  with  any  pertinent  news  as  to 
vour  attainments. 

May  I  urge  you  again  to  make  your  plans  to  attend  Commencement  this  year. 

Sincerely,

TO  ALL  ALUMNI  OF  MARYVILLE  COLLEGE: 

ALL  ALUMNI.  The  number  of  our  living  graduates  is  3527  according  to  records  in  the 
Alumni  Office.  All  would  receive  this  bulletin  if  we  knew  everyone's  address.  Actually  there 
are  about  300  graduates  from  whose  recorded  addresses  mail  has  been  returned  unclaimed;  and 
at  each  mailing  of  this  bulletin  to  addresses  we  think  to  be  correct  about  one  hundred  notices 
come  from  the  Post  Office  saying  the  addressee  is  no  longer  there.  Therefore,  if  any  one  who 
receives  this  knows  of  some  other  graduate  or  former  student  who  does  not  receive  it,  please  send 
the  correct  address  to  the  Alumni  Office,  and  be  sure  to  send-  word  whenever  you  move  or  change 
your  name.  For  I  would  like  to  send  the  greeting  which  this  page  contains  to  ALL  alumni,  and 
have  ALL  receive  the  college  news  which  is  in  all  these  pages. 

ENROLMENTS.  The  question  most  frequently  asked  us  and  most  frequently  discussed  in 
writings  about  colleges  these  days  is,  "How  many  students  are  you  going  to  have?''  It  is  a 
question  which  I  wish  some  one  could  answer.  All  college  administrators  and  commentators  make 
predictions,  more  or  less  confidently,  but  no  one  really  knows  yet  what  enrollments  will  be  next 
Fall.  All  think  there  will  be  a  decrease;  many  think  now  that  the  decrease  will  be  smaller  than 
was  predicted  three  months  ago.  At  this  writing  Congress  has  not  yet  completed  legislation  con- 
cerning military  service,  which  will  be  the  principal  factor  affecting  college  enrollments.  There 
appears  to  be  a  growing  disposition  on  the  part  of  Congress  and  Selective  Service  to  extend  the 
provisions  for  remaining  in  college.  My  personal  expectations  are  less  optimistic  than  those  of 
most  of  my  college  president  friends.  I  shall  be  surprised  and  of  course  pleased  if  next  Fall  finds  in 
liberal  arts  colleges  more  than  two  thirds  as  many  men  as  are  there  now.  Present  conditions, 
with  high  paying  jobs,  increased  numbers  of  marriages,  and  general  disturbances  of  family  plans, 
tend  to  reduce  also  the  number  of  yhls  going  to  college. 

COLLEGE  FINANCES.  The  prophets  of  despair  who  write  in  secular  journals  nbout  small 
colleges  base  their  predictions  of  crippling  and  closing  on  (a)  unlimited  tax  monies  fcr  the  state 
institutions,  (b)  reduced  student  fees,  and  (c)  inflation.  They  are  correct  about  the  causes;  I 
hope  and  believe  they  are  mistaken  about  the  ultimate  results.  But  the  results  will  depend  in 
no  small  measure  on  the  conviction  of  Americans  about  the  essentiality  of  the  church  and  private 
college  and  a  new  sense  of  obligation  on  the  part  of  alumni  and  others.  Maryville  is  increasing 
overall  charges  about  15  percent  for  the  Fall  Semester,  but  students  cannot  and  should  not 
carrv  all  the  burden.  The  net  total  of  tuition,  room,  board,  and  -books  at  Maryville  College  is 
still  less  than  at  other  colleges  of  similar  rank,  but  I  wish  we  could  escape  these  periodic  increases 
in  charges.  During  my  twenty  years  at  Maryville,  our  budget  has  doubled  because  of  growth, 
improvements  in  program  and  plant,  higher  salaries,  and  higher  prices.  We  have  added  ap- 
proximately three  quarters  of  a  million  dolhrs  to  our  endowment  and  yet  it  has  beer,  necessary 
to  increase  charges  in  about  the  ratio  of  budget  increase.  (Even  at  that  students  still  get  three 
meals  a  day— good  meals— for  one  dollar!)  We  have  come  through  Depression  and  War  and 
"Post-War"  without  debt.  We  shall  make  every  effort  to  continue  so— but  the  next  few  years 
will  be  rough.  Alumni  can  help  by  joining  our  Living  Endowment  Plan.  (If  you  will,  write 
for  information.) 

THE  NEW  BUILDINGS.  On  another  page  are  announcements  about  dedication  of  the 
Fine  Arts  Center  on  May  13,  preceded  by  the  Fine  Arts  Festival  and  Awards.  The  Chapel  Fund 
was  wonderfully  advanced  in  January  by  a  gift  of  $100,000  by  an  anonymous  donor  and  is  near 
the  goal  of  $400,000  only  to  find  building  costs  going  on  ahead  like  a  will-o-thc-wisp.  But  with 
the  additional  gifts  of  alumni  and  other  generous  friends,  we  will  one  day  have  announcements 
of  the  beginning  of  a  notable  building. 

You  arc  always  welcome  on  the  campus. 

Most  cordially  yours,

DEDICATION  OF  THE  FINE  ARTS  CENTER 


THE    1951   COMMENCEMENT 


Although  the  Fine  Arts  Center  has  been  in  use  since  last 
September,  it  has  taken  all  the  college  year  to  complete  the  de- 
tails and  secure  the  furnishings.  Even  now  the  Music  Hall  seats 
have  not  arrived.  It  was  decided  to  set  the  dedication  in  the 
Commencement  season  and  to  inaugurate  with  it  in  annual 
Fine  Arts  Festival  and  Scholarship  Award  Competition. 

The  formal  dedication  will  take  place  on  Baccalaureate  after- 
noon, May  13.  But  it  will  be  preceded  by  three  days  of  emphasis 
upon  Art,  Drama,  and  Music.  A  number  of  distinguished  speak- 
ers are  to  be  present.  On  Alumni  Day,  Saturday,  May  12,  there 
will  be  competitions  in  Art  and  Music  with  scholarship  awards 
to  the  successful  contestants.  (See  description  under  separate 
heading.)  The  donors  of  the  building.  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Glen  Alfred 
Lloyd,  will  participate  in  the  formal  dedication  ceremony. 

It  is  planned  to  conduct  a  fine  Arts  Festival  and  the  Competi- 
tions each  spring,  perhaps  a  few  weeks  earlier  than  Commence- 
ment. 

The  1951  Festival  will  include  chapel  addresses  by  notable 
guest  speakers  on  Thursday,  Friday,  and  Saturday  mornings, 
May  10,  11,  and  12;  Shakespeare's  "Much  Ado  About  Nothing* 
on  the  nights  o(  May  II  and  15;  the  competitions  all  day  on  the 
12th;  addresses  on  architecture  and  art  at  and  after  the  Alumni 
Dinner;  and  the  Dedication  itself.  The  special  emphasis  of  the 
period  will  be  in  mind  in  pLmning  the  Baccalaureate  and  the 
Commencement  Vesper  services. 

As  this  is  written,  the  following  have  accepted  invitations  to 
take  part  in  this  program:  Price  Doyle,  President  of  the  National 
Association  of  Schools  of  Music;  John  Walker,  Chief  Curator  of 
the  National  Art  Gallery,  Washington;  E.  William  Doty,  Dean 
of  the  College  of  Fine  Arts  of  the  University  of  Texas;  Rev.  Dr. 
Paul  Calvin  Payne,  General  Secretary  of  the  Presbyterian  Board 
of  Christian  Education,  and  Malcolm  Miller,  Knoxville,  drama 
and  music  critic  and  impresario. 


FINE  ARTS  FACULTY 

For  many  years  Maryville  College  has  offered  work  in  the 
line  arts.  However,  until  1936  it  was  outside  the  regular  degree 
offerings  and  college  credit  was  not  given.  Since  that  time, 
majors  leading  to  the  degree  of  Bachelor  of  Arts  have  been 
offered  in  music,  drama,  and  art  and  the  Division  has  grown 
rapidly.  The  faculty  of  this  year  are  listed  below. 

Katharine  C.  Davies,  Piano  and  Music  Literature,  Chairman 
of  the  Division.  Berniee  Cathcart  Blair,  Voice;  Kathleen  Craven,

Music;  Malcolm  J.  Dashiell,  Art;  Alice  Archibald  Eaddy,  Piano 
and  History  of  Music;  Harry  H.  Harter,  Voice  and  Choir; 
Dorothy  D.  Home,  Music  Theory;  Mildred  W.  Hughes,  Drama 
and  Speech;  W.  Curtis  Hughes,  Orsan  and  Voice;  Charlotte  I!. 
Johnson,  Art;  Thelma  Nelson,  Piano  and  Theory;  Dorothy  H. 
Vawter,  Piano.

dates— the  end  of  the  Fall  Semester  (December  1950),  the  end 
of  the  Spring  Semester  (May  1951),  and  the  end  of  the  sum- 
mer of  1951.  An  unusual  number,  25,  completed  their  work  in

offered.  The  twenty-five  year  class  (1926)  has  been  working 
for  some  time  on  its  reunion  plans. 

The  annual  reception  by  President  and  Mrs.  Lloyd  will  be

The  Daisy  Chain,   1950  Commencement. 


DEATH  OF  MRS.  JOHN  WALKER 

Mrs.  John  Walker,  the  beloved  builder  and  occupant  since 
1932  of  Momingside,  in  the  College  Woods,  died  on  December 
14,  1950,  and  was  buried  in  the  College  Cemetery  beside  her 
sister  Mrs.  William  Patton  Stevenson. 

At  the  time  of  her  death  Mrs.  Walker  had  attained  the  re- 
markable age  of  98  years,  8  months,  and  5  days.  She  had  been 
quite  well  until  five  weeks  before  her  death  when  she  fell  in 
the  house  and  broke  her  hip. 

The  story  of  Mrs.  Walker's  residence  on  the  campus  and  re- 
lationship to  the  College  is  an  interesting  one.  She  was  a  sister 
of  Mrs.  William  Patton  Stevenson,  wife  of  our  former  College 
Pastor  who  served  from  1917  to  1940.  In  1932,  Mrs.  Walker's 
husband,  3  former  associate  of  Andrew  Carnegie  and  other  build- 
ers of  the  steel  business,  died  in  Pittsburgh  at  the  age  of  87.  Mrs. 
Walker,  who  was  then  80,  was  given  permission  to  build  a  home 
in  our  College  Woods.  She  said  that  she  wished  to  live  out  her 
"few  remaining  years"  near  her  sister,  who  was  fifteen  years 
younger.  It  was  her  intention  to  spend  only  part  of  each  year  here, 
as  she  had  homes  also  in  Fittsbursri  and  Canada.  However,  al-. 
though  Mrs.  Stevenson  died  in  1939,  she  liked  the  year-round 
climate  and  the  situation  here  so  much  that  she  soon  kept  this 
as  her  only  home. 

Mrs.  Walker  built  three  houses  on  the  campus— the  large 
residence  in  which  she  lived,  a  three-car  garage  with  a  small 
four-room  apartment  over  it,  and  a  charming  five-room  brick 
"Guest  House"  a  hundred  yards  away.  These,  of  course,  were 
properties  of  the  College  from  the  beginning  since  they  were 
on  the  College's  grounds;  and  this  fact  was  emphasized  in  Declara- 
tions of  Trust  which  gave  Mrs.  Walker  full  possession  and  re- 
sponsibility of  them  during  her  lifetime.  Her  will  transfers  to  the 
College   the  furnishings. 

Her  living  at  the  College  turned  out  to  be  a  happy  arrange- 
ment for  her  and  a  benediction  to  the  College  in  ways  much 
beyond  her  monetary  gifts  even  though  they  were  considerable 
and  continuous.   It  will  be  of  interest   to  know   that   the  first 


gift  for  rebuilding  the  Chapel  was  $1,000  from  her.  And  the 
last  check  she  signed,  the  day  before  her  fall,  was  one  for  $1,000 
to  the  Chapel  Fund  (with  others  between  these  two).  She  was 
especially  interested  in  landscaping.  It  was  she  who  supervised 
the  grading  of  the  old  red  bank  and  the  building  of  the  steps 
below  Camegie.  She  made  the  corduroy  into  a  road  rather  than  a 
path  and  erected  the  gateway  on  that  side  of  the  campus.  Her 
secretary  and  business  manager  was  Miss  Nellie  P.  McCampbell, 
'09,  a  member  of  the  College's  Board  of  Directors,  who  rejoiced 
in  and  encouraged  Mrs.  Walker's  interests  in  the  College  and 
its  program. 


CAMPUS   ACTIVITIES 

In  the  course  of  a  year  there  are  many  eventc  and  many  ac- 
tivities on  the  campus.  Among  the  traditional  events  are  the 
singing  of  "The  Messiah"  on  a  Sunday  afternoon  before  Christ- 
mas (this  year  225  sang  in  the  chorus),  the  Good  Friday  service 
at  chapel,  the  Easter  Sunrise  Service  (this  year  it  was  cold  but 
clear  and  almost  five  hundred  people  attended),  and  of  course 
the  February  Meetings.  Another  tradition  is  Barnwarming  on 
Thanksgiving  evening.  The  theme  for  1950  was  "Golden  Jubilee" 
and  depicted  episodes  in  the  life  of  one  family  over  the  half 
century.  The  king  and  queen  were  Andy  Clark  and  Judy  Breen. 
The  May  Day  pageant  will  be  based  on  early  English  Mav 
Festivals.  Election  of  the  queen  will  take  place  shortly.  "Our 
Town"  and  "Mr.  Pirn  Passes  By"  have  been  given  by  the  Play- 
house and  recently  the  Experimental  Theatre  gave  two'  one-act 
plays  on  a  stage  in  the  center  of  the  Bartlett  gym  floor  as  an 
experiment  in  "theatre-in-the-round."  The  Artists  Series  has 
presented  the  University  of  Alabama  String  Quartet,  the  North 
Texas  State  College  A  Cappella  Choir,  and  Wiktor  Labunski, 
noted  Polish  pianist.  Dr.  Labunski  spent  two  days  on  the  campus, 
lecturing  to  music  classes,  conducting  a  piano  clinic,  and  giving 
a  formal  concert  as  one  of  the  Artists  Series  numbers.  Alumni 
will  be  interested  in  the  fact  that  the  Director  of  the  North 
Texas  State  Choir  was  the  son  of  Frank  D.  McKinley,  Prep. 
'95-'98,  who  came  down  from  his  home  in  Winchester,  Kentuckv 
for  the  concert.

BIRTHS 


President  and  Mrs.  Lloyd  at 
Morningside,  March  1951 

THE  PRESIDENT'S   HOUSE 

On  March  1  President  and  Mrs.  Lloyd  moved  to  Morningside, 
in  the  College  Woods,  the  former  home  of  Mis.  John  Walker. 
It  was  Mrs.  Walker's  wish  that  Morningside  become  the  presi- 
dential residence. 

The  house  in  which  the  Lloyds  have  lived  for  twenty  years 
was  also  the  home  of  two  former  presidents:  Dr.  Boardman  for 
ten  years  and  Dr.  Wilson  for  twenty-nine  years.  It  was  built 
in  1890  by  Mrs.  Sylvester  Willard  of  Aubum,  New  York,  as  a 
memorial  to  her  husband.  The  present  plans  are  to  use  it  for 
additional  women's  residence  facilities. 

SCHOLARSHIP  AWARDS  FOR  HONOR  STUDENTS  IN 
BLOUNT  COUNTY  HIGH  SCHOOLS 

As  an  expression  of  interest  in  the  high  school  students  of  this 
area  and  as  an  incentive  toward  scholarly  achievement,  the  College 
has  announced  that  tuition  scholarship  awards  will  be  given  to

ate is  Horace  McBath  of  the  Class  of  1881.  However,  he  has 
been  "lost"  since  1943  and  it  may  be  that  he  has  died.  Leroy  S. 
Hanna,  '82,  is  living  in  St.  Petersburg,  Florida.  The  Office  has 
heard  that  Millard  Fillmore  Sparks,  '82.  died  manv  years  ago

to  the  Middle  East  and  India.  He  had  written  President  Lloyd 
that  he  would  be  in  Maryville  March  29  and  had  asked  for  the 
addresses  of  Maryville  alumni  in  that  part  of  the  world.  He  is

daughter.  She  is  survived  also  by  a  son,  Paul  Dean  Rodgers,  '31,

SMALL  COLLEGE  SURVEY 

Several  inquiries  have  come  as  to  why  Maryville  College  was 
not  included  in  "Good  Housekeeping's"  annual  survey  of  small 
colleges.  Maryville  was  included  in  the  two  previous  surveys 
but  this  year  the  magazine  changed  the  survey  intc  what  ap- 
pears to  be  almost  an  accrediting  process  and  asked  each  college  to 
submit  extensive  reports  and  fill  out  a  voluminous  questionnaire. 
There  is  a  general  belief  among  college  leaders  that  too  many 
individual  and  departmentalized  accrediting  agencies  are  harmful 
and  Marvville  decided  not  to  send  in  a  report. 


ATHLETICS 

Baseball,  tennis,  and  track  are  under  way  although  spring  is 
late  arriving.  So  far  this  year  wrestling  has  had  the  best  record. 


The  squad  closed  a  good  season  by  winning  second  nlace  in  the 
SEAAU  tourney  at  Chattanooga  early  in  March.  They  had  two 
firsts  in  the  tourney;  in  one  the  final  match  was  between  two 
Maryville  men. 

At  present  the  enrolment  of  men  for  next  year  :s  uncertain 
but  it  is  hoped  that  all  sports  can  be  continued  as  usual.  The 
football  schedule  is  still  not  complete  as  one  or  two  of  the 
opponents  scheduled  have  announced  they  are  dropping  football, 
at  least  temporarily. 

DEBATE 

The  debate  squad  of  thirteen  took  part  in  five  debates  this 
year,  including  the  National  Pi  Kappa  Delta  Tournament,  at 
Stillwater,  Oklahoma.  Four  of  the  debaters,  with  Miss  Arda 
Walker,  assistant  coach  of  debate,  attended  the  latter  and  made 
a  good  record. 

The  men,  Lewis  Evans  and  Newell  Witherspoon  (son  of  Helen 
Newell,  '19,  and  John  K.  Witherspoon,  ex  '19),  won  three  out 
of  eight  debates.  The  women,  Carol  Corbett  and  Carolyn  Miller, 
won  five  out  of  eight  and  received  a  rating  of  Good.  Carolyn 
Miller  also  won  Good  in  Women's  Oratory.  This  national  tourna- 
ment is  held  every  two  years  and  this  year  831  debaters  from 
150  colleges  in  35  States  took  part. 

SCHOLARSHIP  AWARDS  IN  THE  FINE  ARTS 

Through  the  generosity  of  friends  of  the  College,  a  fund  has 
been  set  up  to  provide  scholarship  awards  in  the  fine  arts,  based 
upon  competitions  conducted  by  the  Division  of  Fine  Arts.  It 
was  decided  to  conduct  the  competitions  this  year  in  piano,  voice, 
and  art.  A  bulletin,  containing  the  following  general  informa- 
tion and  detailed  instiuctions,  has  been  mailed  to  high  schools 
and  teachers  throughout  this  general  area.  The  awards  are,  in 
piano,  $200;  in  voice,  $200;  in  art,  $100.  If  the  winner  elects 
to  attend  Maryville  College,  the  College  will  add  a  $100  award, 
making  the  totals— piano,  $300;'  voice,  $300;  art,  $200.  These 
awards  will  be  made  at  the  close  of  the  competitions  on  May 
12,  1951,  tc  three  individual  competitors,  one  in  piano, 
one  in  voice,  and  one  in  art.  These  will  te  determined  by 
eminent  authorities  invited  to  be  judges,  whose  decision  shall 
be  final.  The  judges  will  have  power  to  decide  that  there  is  no 
winner  in  a  particular  competition  of  sufficient  merit  to  receive 
the  award.  Each  award  on  May  12  will  be  in  the  form  of  a 
certificate  for  the  amount  indicated,  to  be  applied  toward  ex- 
penses at  a  college  or  school  of  music  or  art  approved  by  Mary- 
ville College.  A  candidate  for  competition  must  be  a  high  school 
senior  or  graduate  who  has  not  attended  college  or  professional 
school  and  is  planning  to  do  so.  In  music  he  must  perform  in 
competition  at  the  College  on  May  12;  in  art  he  must  submit  a 
portfolio  containing  six  examples  of  his  work.  In  both  cases  he 
must  submit  his  high  school  record  and  have  the  endorsement 
of  his  principal  and  teacher. 


Have    you    paid    your    dues,    $2.00,    for    this    year?    The 
fiscal  year  closes  May  31  but  your  money  is  good  any  time.

Mary  Wills,  Homecoming  yueen, 

with   her  two  attendants,  Ruth 

Nicholas  and  Sally  Kemp. 

HOMECOMING 

Homecoming  Day  last  fall  started  off  as  a  beautiful  October 
day  but  just  as  the  baibecue  was  ending  that  evening  it  began  to 
rain  and  it  continued  throughout  the  football  game.  The  queen 
Mary  Wills,  senior  from  Baltimore,  was  crowned  before  the  game, 
but  by  the  half  it  was  raining  so  hard  the  pageant  planned  could 
not  be  held  and  the  band  could  not  play.  The  pageant,  on  the 
United  Nations  and  featuring  the  flags  of  all  the  member  na- 
tions, was  held  at  the  next  game  and  was  very  effective.  Students 
decorated  the  dormitories  in  honor  of  the  returning  alumni  and 
the  Pep  Committee  sponsored  a  parade  in  the  afternoon  which 
included  twenty  floats  made  by  different  campus   organizations. 

The  annual  Founders  Day  Address  at  the  Founders  Day 
service  that  morning  was  given  by  President  John  A.  Mackay  of 
Princeton  Theological  Seminary,  noted  church  leader,  who  spoke 
on  "God's  Springtime  in  Asia." 

Founders  Day  and  Homecoming  next  fall  will  be  on  October 
27.  The  game  will  be  with  Carson-Newman,  and  we  will  hope 
for  better  weather.  Plan  now  to  come. 

SOCIAL  SECURITY  EXTENDED  TO  COLLEGES 

Church-related  and  private  college  employees  are  among  the 
groups  to  which  Federal  Social  Security  coverage  was  extended 
as  of  Januarv  1,  1951.  Maryville  College  added  it  to  the  Retire- 
ment Annuity  Plan  which  it  has  had  in  effect  for  twelve 
years.  Prior  to  1951  educational  institutions  were  not  eligible  for 
participation. 

FACULTY  NEWS 

At  the  annual  meeting  of  the  Western  Section  of  the  World 
Presbyterian  Alliance  in  February,  President  Lloyd  was  elected 
Secretary  of  the  Western  Section  and  Acting  American  Secretary 
of  the  World  Presbyterian  Alliance.  Sometime  ago  he  was  elected 
a  member  of  the  Central  Committee  of  the  World  Council  of 
Churches.  Duties  in  connection  with  these  two  appointments 
will  probably  take  him  to  Europe  about  the  middle  of  the  sum- 
mer. The  Central  Committee  of  the  World  Council  is  to  meet 
August  4-11  in  Rolle,  Switzerland,  and  the  Executive  Committee 
of  the  World  Presbyterian  Alliance  August  13-15  in  Basle, 
Switzerland.  He  will  probably  meet  certain  other  appointments 


in  Great  Britain  but  will  return  before  the  end  of  August. 
Among  articles  President  Lloyd  has  written  in  recent  months 
were  one  on  "Pastors  and  Presbyterian  Union"  in  Monday  Morn- 
ing, an  article  "Can  the  Presbyterians  Get  Together  Again"  in 
Presbyterian  Life,  "Ours  is  a  Cooperative  and  Uniting  Church" 
in  the  Southern  California  Presbyterian,  and  "Our  Colleges"  in 
the  March  31  issue  of  Presbyterian  Life.  On  the  anniversary  ot 
the  Lloyds'  coming  to  Maryville  College  in  1930,  the  faculty

Chilhowee  Inn  (Walland),  and  presented  to  him  a  new  Buick 
car  and  a  purse  for  SI, 000.  Wide  newspaper  publicity  was  given 
to  the  event  and  to  the  fact  that  Coach  Honaker  is  one  of  the 
few  coaches  in  the  country  who  has  been  able  to  stay  so  long  at

POPULATION    STUDY 

Maryville  is  participating  again  this  year  in  the  survey  made 
by  the  Population  Reference  Bureau  to  determine  how  many 
college  graduates  marry  and  how  many  children  they  have. 
Cards  are  sent  to  the  graduates  of  the  ten-year  and  the  twenty- 
five-year  classes.  The  answers  received  are  reported  to  the 
bureau,  which  tabulates  and  analyzes  them.  The  results  of  last 
year's  study  show  that  in  Maryville's  Class  of  1925  the  women 
had  1.13  children  per  graduate  (national  average  1.29),  and  the 
men  had  2.15  per  graduate  (national  average  1.77).  Of  the 
women,  78%  are  married  (national  average  74%)  and  75%  of 
the  marriages  are  fertile  (national  average  77%).  Of  the  men, 
95%  are  married  (national  average  94%)  and  89%  of  the  mar- 
riages are  fertile  (national  average  83%). 

The  statistics  of  the  Class  of  1940  are,  for  the  women:  chil- 
dren per  graduate  1.14  (national  average  1.09);  80%  married 
(national  average  74%);  81%  marriages  fertile  (national  aver- 
age 80ry  ).  For  the  rnen:  children  per  graduate  1.58  (national 
average  1.29);  97%  married  (national  average  88f/();  88%  mar- 
riages fertile  (national  average  79%). 

The  Population  Reference  Bureau  has  calculated  that  2.1 
children  per  graduate  are  needed  to  replace  the  parents  and  a 
minimum  of  3  children  in  each  family  to  compensate  for  the 
unmarried  and  the  infertile.  These  studies  of  more  than  150,000 
college  graduates  show  that  their  families  are  too  small  to  re- 
place them. 

Our  sociology  department  and  the  Alumni  Association  feel  that 
this  Bureau  is  doing  a  worthwhile  piece  of  research  and  ap- 
preciate the  cooperation  of  the  graduates  who  have  returned  the 
cards  sent  them.
