CARL  McKINLEY  STOREY,   PRESIDENT  OF  THE 
ALUMNI  ASSOCIATION 


Greetings  to  Maryville  College  Alumni  Everywhere; 

As  President  of  the  Alumni  Association  this  year  I  have  endeavored  to  work  with  the  College 
and  different  alumni  groups  to  promote  a  program  that  would  arouse  the  interest  of  all  Alumni  in 
Maryville  College.  The  response,  in  the  form  of  personal  letters,  from  scores  of  Alumni  has  been 
most  gratifying.  To  serve  as  President  of  the  Alumni  Association  makes  one  very  much  aware  of 
the  many  needs  of  the  College.  Our  church  colleges  are  very  much  in  danger  of  losing  ground 
unless  Alumni,  businessmen,  and  friends  across  the  nation  come  to  their  rescue  financially.  The 
State  universities,  with  our  tax  money,  are  offering  a  more  attractive  program  in  many  ways.  I  am 
happy  to  say  that  none  of  them  offers  more  in  a  healthy  environment  and  spiritual  way  than  does 
Maryville  College. 

The  response  to  the  A  DAY  programs  mailed  out  in  January  has  been  very  gratifying.  A  few 
dollars  are  still  trickling  in,  but  we  need  over  $1,000  yet  to  pay  in  full  for  the  band  uniforms. 
Keep  those  dollars  coming  in.  Many  have  not  mailed  in  their  alumni  dues,  of  $2.00,  for  this  year. 
Please  do  this  before  the  end  of  May. 

It  is  certainly  encouraging  to  those  of  us  here  in  Maryville  to  watch  the  building  of  the  new 
Samuel  Tyndale  Wilson  Chapel  progress.  It  would  be  a  most  appropriate  time  for  those  of  you 
wlio  ha\'e  not  yet  paid  up  your  chapel  pledge  to  do  so,  and  for  those  of  )0u  who  have  not  pledged— 
why  not  act  now  and  send  a  check  or  a  pledge  along  to  help  complete  this  magnificent  structure. 

So  much  for  arousing  your  interest  concerning  the  financial  needs  of  the  College.  Now  let's 
all  plan  to  attend  the  alumni  banquet  and  the  commencement  program.  The  Ten,  Twent\-,  Twent\-- 
Five,  and  Fift%'  Year  C:lasses  are  planning  reunions.  Mrs.  John  (America  Moore)  Crawford  is  in 
charge  of  the  Twenty-Five  Year  reunion."  Members  of  the  Twent>-Five  and  Fifty  Year  Classes  will 
take  part  in  the  program  at  the  alumni  banquet.  Don't  forget  to  send  in  your  change  of  address 
and  any  news  of  Alumni  to  the  Alumni  Office.  I  am  looking  fonvard  to  seeing  many  of  you  during 
Commencement. 

Thanks  to  Alumni  everywhere  for  the  personal  notes  sent  along  with  dues,  band  uniform  pro- 
gram checks  and  one-dollar  bills.  Your  financial  support  to  these  programs  and  \our  moral  support 
have  made  it  a  pleasure  to  serve  this  year  as  your  President.  Thanks  also  to  the  Alumni  Executive 
Committee  and  other  alumni  committees  who  have  labored  so  faithfully  during  the  past  year. 

Now  more  power  to  our  new  President,  whomever  you  elect  for  the  coming  year. 

Sincerely, 


I 
President  of  Alumni  Association

President  Lloyd's  Page 


1.  Our  Alumni  Family  grows  steadily  in  size.  The  total 
number  of  persons  who  have  graduated  from  Maryville  Col- 
lege is  now  4,423,  of  whom  more  than  3,800  are  living.  The 
earlier  classes  were  small.  The  larger  classes  have  been  those 
of  the  two  decades  since  I  returned   to   Maryville. 

The  class  with  which  I  graduated  had  only  twenty-seven 
members,  although  the  very  next  year  that  number  jumped 
to  forty-two,  and  seven  years  later  passed  the  fifty  mark.  In 
1929  it  passed  the  one  hundred  mark  and  since  1930,  includ- 
ing the  war  years,  has  averaged  122.  It  was  rather  startling 
to  me  to  discover  recently  that  up  to  this  date  I  have  had 
the  personal  privilege  of  acting  for  the  College  in  awarding 
its  diploma  to  seventy  per  cent  of  all  Maryville  graduates, 
and  to  a  still  larger  proportion  of  you  who  receive  this  letter. 
This  privilege  and  the  life  friendships  which  it  represents  I 
prize  more  than  I  can  put  into  words. 

A  considerable  number  of  our  alumni  family  live  within 
fifty  miles  of  the  campus,  but  by  far  the  larger  proportion 
live  in  other  parts  of  America  and  the  world  and  most  con- 
tacts must  be  by  correspondence.  That  is  one  reason  for 
the  alumni  issue  of  the  Maryville  College  Bulletin. 

2.  With  Maryville  Alumni  Abroad.  In  late  December 
and  in  January  I  made  a  trip  to  Lucknow,  India,  to  attend 
a  meeting  of  the  Central  Committee  of  the  World  Council  of 
Churches.  On  the  way  out  through  Lebanon  I  saw  Lois 
Wilson,  '16,  daughter  of  former  President  Samuel  Tyndale 
Wilson.  She  is  Principal  of  the  Presbyterian  Mission  School 
at  Nabatiyeh.  In  India,  I  saw  Leroy  Dillener,  '44,  and  Anna 
Stevens,  '49,  at  Kolhapur;  Peggy  Ann  Case,  '45,  at  Miraj;  and 
Ann  Leeder,  '52,  at  Allahabad.  At  Ferozepore,  India,  we  had 
a  little  Maryville  College  reunion  of  six:  Dr.  Dorothy  Ferris, 
'28,  who  is  head  of  the  Frances  Newton  Hospital  there,  Elsie 
Gleason,  '28,  of  Mainpuri,  Don  Hugh,  '38,  and  his  wife  Joy 
Pinneo  Rugh,  '39,  of  Meerut,  Bill  Starr,  '51,  of  Mussoorie,  and 
myself.  Dorothy  Ferris  had  invited  all  alumni  who  could  come 
to  a  special  dedication  of  operating  room  equipment,  including 
a  modem  shadowless  light  provided  tfu-ough  the  Fred  Hope 
Fund  at  Maryville  College.  All  whom  I  have  named  are  mis- 
Four 


sionaries  to  India.  There  are  at  least  two  others  in  India 
whom  I  did  not  see:  Mrs.  C.  W.  Perry  ( Isabelle  Jay  '40) 
whose  husband  is  with  the  Standard  Vacuum  Oil  Co.,  at 
Madras;  and  Mrs.  M,  S.  Kamble  (Margaret  Duke  '24)  at 
Usuri-Islampur.  In  Lebanon,  I  just  missed  Helen  Cassile,  '45, 
who  is  now  associated  with  Lois  Wilson. 

3.  Local  alumni  and  community  interest  has  been  active 
during  tliis  college  year,  and  I  wish  to  express  appreciation 
for  a  number  of  helpful  things,  connected  with  our  football 
program,  accomplished  or  in  process.  A  banquet,  served  at 
the  College,  to  the  football  squad,  was  organized  and  paid 
for  by  alumni  and  other  friends  in  the  community.  A  score- 
board was  erected  on  the  football  field  with  funds  donated. 
A  benefit  post-season  football  game  was  promoted  ( under 
unprecedented  snow  storm  conditions )  and  the  net  receipts 
were  added  to  the  fund  of  $1,000  set  up  by  the  College  to 
purchase  Scottish  Kilt  uniforms  for  the  College  band;  because 
of  the  bad  weather  the  game  receipts  did  not  bring  the  fund 
up  to  the  $3,500  needed,  but  local  alumni  and  friends  plan 
to  complete  the  project  when  possible.  They  also  planned  the 
ceremony  in  which,  at  the  benefit  game,  we  named  the  field 
for  Coach  L.  S.  Honaker,  in  recognition  of  his  long  and  out- 
standing service  at  Maryville.  Of  this  you  at  a  distance  know 
from  the  program  which  was  mailed  to  alumni  some  time  ago. 

4.  The  New  Chapel  is  now  well  under  way.  A  contract 
was  let  in  December  to  Johnson  and  Willard,  General  Con-  ■ 
tractors,  Knoxville.  On  January  5,  construction  began.  It  is 
still  in  the  "foundation"  stage,  but  some  250  tons  of  concrete, 
reinforced  with  steel,  have  been  set,  and  before  these  words 
are  read,  a  great  deal  more  concrete,  steel,  and  brick  will  be 
in  place.  We  cannot  expect  the  building  to  be  ready  for 
use  before  Christmas,  but  are  hoping  to  move  in  soon  after 
that.  As  described  by  the  article  in  this  magazine  last  October, 
the  building  is  a  large  one,  with  a  completeness  of  facilities 
not  often  found  on  a  college  campus.  We  believe  it  will  be 
quite  a  wonderful  building,  a  worthy  companion  of  the  Fine 
Arts  Center.  The  total  cost  of  building  and  necessary  fur- 
nishings (without  an  organ)  will  exceed  $550,000.  The 
amount  so  far  raised  toward  this  total  is  approximately 
$405,000  (including  approximately  $18,000  in  pledges  not  yet 
paid).  This  is  a  good  proportion  of  the  whole,  but  there  is  a 
big  job  ahead  to  complete  this  great  and  vital  addition  to  the 
present  and  future  service  of  the  College. 

5.  The  1953  Commencement  scheduled  for  May  20,  is 
rapidly  approaching.  The  program  will  be  found  elsewhere 
in  these  pages.  As  Alumni  President  Carl  Storey  says  in  his 
letter,  it  will  be  a  pleasure  to  see  all  who  can  come. 

Sincerely  yours. 


1953   COMMENCEMENT 

The  cli'Liilcd  crtlcmlar  of  Commencement  Week  events  is 
given  on  the  inside  front  cover  of  tliis  Hiilletin.  Tickets  are 
necessary  only  for  the  Ahunni  Dinner  and  the  play.  Dinner 
tickets  may  be  secured  through  the  Alumni  Office  or  at  the 
Registration  Table  on  the  campus  that  day.  Play  tickets 
may  be  secured  through  the  Alumni  Office  or  the  drama 
department  (Miss  Kathleen  Craven).  The  committees  of  the 
reunion  classes  will  be  glad  to  see  about  rescr\ations  for  any 
who  write  them. 

Alumni  Day,  you  will  note,  is  Saturday,  May  16.  The 
annual  dinner  and  business  meeting  will  be  in  the  Dining  Hall 
at  seven  o'clock.  Carl  M.  Storey,  '31,  President  of  the  As- 
sociation, will  preside.  At  nine  o'clock  the  band  will  give 
a  concert  in  the  Fine  Arts  Outdoor  Theater. 

The  Baccalaureate  sermon  on  Sunday  morning,  in  accord- 
ance witli  the  tradition  of  many  years,  will  be  preached  by 
the  President  of  the  College. 

We  have  heard  from  all  si.x  living  members  of  the  Fifty- 
Year  Class,  1903,  all  but  one  expressing  the  expectation  of 
being  here.  The  five  who  hope  to  come  are  Thomas  G.  Brown 
and  Horace  H.  McCaslin,  of  Orlando,  Florida;  Dennis  W. 
Crawford,  of  Kno.xville;  Hugh  R.  Crawford,  of  Maryville;  and 
Robert  O.  Franklin,  of  St.  Augustine,  Florida.  Mrs.  J.  M. 
Dorton  (Mabel  Franklin),  of  Hillsboro,  Tennessee,  writes 
that  she  cannot  make  the  trip. 

Mrs.  Roy  Blackburn  (Alice  Stinecipher ) ,  Cherry  Drive, 
and  Mrs.  John  Crawford,  Jr.  (America  Moore),  Duncan  Drive, 
Maryville,  are  working  on  the  Class  of  1928  reunion. 

The  Classes  of  1943  and  1948  are  also  working  on  re- 
unions. Arthur  S.  Bushing,  803  Court  Street,  Maryville,  and 
Dorothy  H.  Vawter,  Maryville  College,  are  the  respective 
chairmen. 

Other  classes  are  working  on  reunions  in  a  less  organized 
way.  Mrs.  Robert  C.  Cross  (Helen  Silsby)  is  writing  to 
members  of  the  Class  of  1913  and  she  and  her  husband  hope 
that  many  classmates  will  be  able  to  attend.  Several  members 
of  the  Twenty-Year  Class,  1933,  have  indicated  that  they  plan 
to  be  here.  Although  the  Class  of  1918  is  not  planning  a 
special  reunion,  Miss  Mary  Miles,  Maryville  College,  will  serve 
as  local  chairman  and  will  be  glad  to  hear  from  any  who  plan 
to  come. 


HUNT  FOUNDATION   SCHOLARSHIP 

It  was  announced  in  January  tlirough  Mr.  R.  M.  Ferry, 
Manager  of  Tennessee  Operations  for  Aluminum  Company  of 
America,  that  Maryville  College  and  Alcoa  High  School  have 
received  a  $.500.00  scholarship  fund  from  the  Hunt  Foundation 
of  Pittsburgh,  Pennsylxania.  The  scholarship  will  be  awarded 
before  the  fall  semester  of  1953  to  a  graduate  of  Alcoa  High 
School  on  the  basis  of  integrity  of  character,  ability  to  learn 
new  things,  general  personal  efficiency,  personality  as  ex- 
pressed by  manners  and  cooperativeness,  as  well  as  scholastic 
standing. 

In  announcing  the  scholarship  award  Mr,  Ferry  said,  "The 
trustees  of  the  Hunt  Foundation  feel  that  some  appreciation 
should  be  shown  to  the  communities  of  our  Alcoa  plants  and 
to  those  connected  with  these  plants.  The  trustees  also  feel 
that  this  appreciation  should  be  shown  in  an  educational 
manner  in  order  to  provide  young,  deserving  students  with 
the  opportunity  of  possessing  a  high  level  of  education. 

"It  was  decided  that  the  first  bequest  to  the  Alcoa  com- 
munity would  be  in  the  form  of  a  scholarship  for  an  Alcoa 
High  School  graduate  to  attend  Maryville  College,  beginning 
with  the  fall  term  of  1953.  The  particular  curriculum  to  be 
taken  at  Maryville  College  will  be  decided  upon  entirely  by 
the  student  himself." 

Selections  of  the  student  to  receive  the  award  will  be 
made  by  the  Manager  of  Alcoa's  Tennessee  Operations,  the 
President  of  Maryville  College  and  the  Superintendent  of 
Alcoa  City  Schools. 

In  accepting  the  award  for  the  College,  Dr.  Lloyd  ex- 
pressed his  appreciation  and  added,  "I  can  think  of  no 
better  way  to  help  our  community  than  to  make  it  possible 
for  deserving  young  people  to  receive  training  which  will 
prepare   them   for  the   responsibilities   of  citizenship." 

On  receipt  of  the  announcement,  Alcoa  Schools  Super- 
intendent V.  F.  Goddard,  '13,  said,  "This  scholarship  will  be 
a  worthy  incentive  to  the  students  in  Alcoa  High  School  in 
achieving  the  best  values  in  their  school  education.  The 
faculty  and  students  appreciate  this  contribution  by  the  Hunt 
Foundation  to  the  Alcoa  High  School." 

The  Hunt  Foundation  was  established  in  1951,  by  Roy 
A.  Hunt,  Chairman  of  the  Executive  Committee  for  Alcoa  and 
President  of  the  Company  from  1928  until  1951.  Trustees 
of  the  Foundation  are  members  of  the  Hunt  family.  Income 
from  the  Foundation  is  distributed  exclusively  for  religious, 
educational  and  charitable  purposes  as  determined  by  the 
trustees. 

MAY  DAY 

The  May  Day  festival  will  be  held  on  Friday  afternoon. 
May  1,  at  two-thirty,  in  the  Amphitheatre  in  the  College 
Woods.  The  theme  tliis  year  is  "The  Grasshopper  and  the 
Ants,"  using  the  Walt  Disney  version  of  the  old  fable. 

The  Student  Council  is  to  hold  the  election  for  May  Queen 
and  the  class  attendants  on  March  26. 

On  Friday  evening  Barbara  Scott  and  Bill  Robinson  will 
give  a  recital  in  the  Fine  Arts  Music  Hall.  Barbara  is  a  piano 
major  and  Bill  Robinson,  who  graduated  last  year,  is  this  year 
taking  additional  work  in  voice. 

Saturday  evening  is  the  Spring  Dance,  the  one  formal 
dance  of  the  year.  It  is  the  turn  of  Bainonian  and  Athenian 
Societies  to  decorate  the  Ahnnni  Gym  and  to  be  in  general 
charge.

HONAKER  FIELD 

The  new  football  field,  completed  in  1950,  was  named 
Honaker  Field  last  fall  by  the  Directors. 

Coach  Lombe  Scott  Honaker  has  been  Athletic  Director 
and  head  football,  basketball,  and  baseball  coach  at  Maryville 
College  since  1921,  and  some  of  the  alumni  who  had  played 
under  him  in  these  various  sports  made  the  original  suggestion 
that  the  field  be  named  for  him. 

It  was  formally  dedicated  in  ceremonies  before  the  benefit 
game  on  November  26.  Mrs.  Honaker  and  their  two  sons, 
Scott,  '41,  and  Ross,  '49,  were  with  Coach;  representatives  of 
the  Directors,  the  Faculty,  the  Student  Body,  and  the  Alumni 
took  part;  and  many  former  athletes  were  present. 

BENEFIT  FOOTBALL  GAME 

Early  in  the  fall  a  group  of  former  Maryville  athletes 
now  living  in  and  around  Maryville,  and  a  number  of  other 
alumni  and  friends  in  the  community  indicated  their  desire 
to  do  something  to  help  secure  a  scoreboard  for  the  football 
field  and  imiforms  for  the  band.  After  much  discussion  this 
crystallized  into  a  benefit  football  game  between  Maryville 
College  and  Tennessee  Wesleyan  College,  scheduled  for  Friday 
evening,    November   21. 

It  was  raining  Friday  morning  but  tlie  weatherman  pre- 
dicted clearing  skies  by  noon.  However,  about  tlie  middle 
of  the  morning  the  rain  changed  to  snow  and  when  it  became 
apparent  that  it  was  not  going  to  "clear  by  noon"  the  game 
was  postponed  to  Saturday  night.  When  the  snow  got  to  be 
about  ten  inches  deep,  the  game  was  postponed  imtil  the  next 
Wednesday  afternoon.  But  it  still  kept  on  snowing  until  by 
Saturday  morning  all  records  for  a  twenty-four  hour  snow  in 
Maryville  had  been  broken,  and  tlie  snow  was  eighteen  inches 
deep.  It  was  an  e.xceedingly  wet  snow  which,  coming  so 
precipitantly,  did  terrific  damage  to  trees  and  shrubs  and 
roofs.  All  Friday  afternoon  one  could  hear  trees  breaking; 
it  was  particularly  hard  on  the  old  campus  cedars. 

Because  it  was  necessary  to  play  the  game  in  the  after- 
noon, not  so  many  townspeople  could  attend,  but  it  was  a 
good  game.  (.Maryville  won  20-12).  In  the  ceremonies  be- 
fore tlie  game,  Harold  Bird,  '29,  representing  the  former  ath- 
letes, presented  an  electric  scoreboard,  which  was  used  for 
the  first  time  that  day.  Jack  Proffitt,  ex  '41,  presented  a 
certificate  representing  the  money  so  far  collected  by  the 
sponsors   for   band   uniforms.

GENERAL  ASSEMBLY  BREAKFAST 

The  annual  Maryville  College  Breakfast  at  the  Presby- 
terian U.S.A.  General  Assembly,  which  meets  in  Minneapolis 
this  year,  will  be  held  at  7:15  a.m.,  Saturday,  May  30,  at 
the  Leamington  Hotel.  The  price  will  be  $1.50,  and  reserva- 
tion must  be  made.  Posters  on  which  to  sign  will  be  hung  at 
convenient  spots  in  the  General  Assembly  meeting  place;  or 
you  may  make  your  reservations  through  Rev.  James  P. 
Martin,  '47,  Pastor  of  the  Riverside  Presbyterian  Church  in 
Minneapolis.  All  alumni,  parents  of  student.  Directors  of  the 
College,  and  friends  of  the  College  are  cordially  invited  to 
attend. 

SUGGESTION  FOR  A  GIFT 

Do  you  have  an  academic  or  pulpit  gown  which  is  not 
being  used?  Why  not  give  it  to  the  College?  Each  Com- 
mencement there  are  four  or  five  who  participate  in  the 
E.xercises  for  whom  caps,  gowns,  and  hoods  must  be  fur- 
nished. And  each  Sunday  evening  at  Vespers  the  minister 
wears  a  gown  (which  may  be  either  pulpit  or  academic). 
Many  times  the  visiting  minister  has  no  gown  or  finds  it  most 
inconvenient  to  bring  it  and  he  wears  a  borrowed  one.  The 
extra  ones  the  College  owns  are  very  worn;  robes  and  mortar 
boards  in  good  condition  would  be  a  most  helpful  gift. 


Dr.  Henry  Barraclough,  of  Philadelphia,  Manager  of  the  Depart- 
ment of  Administration,  Office  of  the  General  Assembly  of  the  Pres- 
byterian Church   in  the   U.S.A.,   accompanist  for  the  Meetings. 


Have  you  paid  your  dues  ($2.00)  this  year?  The 
Alumni  Association  fiscal  year,  like  that  of  the  College, 
ends  on  May  31.  All  dues  received  up  to  that  time  are 
counted  as   1952-1953  payments.

CAMPUS  ACTIVITIES 

Since  Christmas  the  campus  activities  have  seemed  to 
be  many  and  varied,  and  yet  as  spring  and  Commencement 
approach  everyone  grows  busier  and  busier.  The  second 
semester  started  off  with  the  Fred  Hope  Fund  Drive,  then 
tlie  February  Meetings,  basketball  and  wrestling.  Experimental 
Theater,  the  three-act  play  "Goodbye,  My  Fancy,"  frosh  talent 
show,  skit  night,  band  concert,  and  all  the  society  and  club

Mikado"  on  April  24  and  25,  the  Artists  Series  concert  of 
Luigi  Sylva,  cellist,  (whose  concert  scheduled  for  January

and  the  spring  formal,  the  choir  tour,  baseball  and  tennis, 
style  show,  orchestra  concert,  senior  recitals,  the  senior  break- 
fast and  other  Commencement  events.  And  of  course  there

senior  comprehensives,  tests  and  reports. 

Recent  campus  visitors  from  a  distance  include  Dr.  C. 
Herbert  Rice,  former  president  of  Forman  Christian  College, 
Pakistan;  Mrs.  Wadia  Makdissi,  of  Lebanon;  Donald  Grant, 
British  lecturer  on  international  affairs,  who  has  been  here 
on  three  previous  occasions  and  so  is  known  to  many  alumni; 
and  Dr.  Leopoldo  T.  Ruiz,  newly  elected  president  of  Silliman 
University  in  the  Philippines.  Mr.  Grant  was  on  campus 
for  two  days  and  spoke  at  chapel,  classes,  and  evening  meet- 
ings, giving  students,  faculty,  and  townspeople  a  fine  oppor- 
tunity for  a  broad  picture  of  the  world  situation.  The  East 
Tennessee  Section  of  the  American  Chemical  Society  held  a 
dinner  meeting  at  the  College  with  Dr.  F.  W.  Jensen,  head 
of  the  department  of  chemistry  at  Texas  A  &  M,  as  the 
speaker,  and  the  Blount  County  Teachers  Association  held 
their  annual  banquet  at  the  College.

Jeannine  Fiori  won  second  place  in  women's  oratory.  Nine- 
teen colleges  and  universities  participated  in  the  tournament.

year,  President  Lloyd,  and  Dr.  Morgan  on  the  platform,  and  Dr. 
Barraclough  at  the  piano. 


ATHLETICS

Tennessee,  for  which  a  suitably  inscribed  cup  was  presented.

team  won  twelve  and  lost  three. 

The  wrestling  squad  won  six  matches,  lost  three,  and 
tied  one.  They  tied  for  fourth  place  in  the  Southeastern  In-

written.  The  baseball  team  has  eighteen  games  scheduled  and 
the  tennis  team  thirteen  matches.

BARNWARMING 


THE  1952  HOMECOMING  AND  FOUNDERS  DAY 


Barnwarming,  held  each  year  on  Thanksgiving  evening, 
was  one  of  the  big  events  of  the  fall  semester.  As  usual,  many 
students  spent  a  great  deal  of  time  and  work  preparing  it, 
and  the  results  were  very  entertaining.  The  scene  of  the 
musical  show  was  centered  around  Danny's  newstand  on  the 
street  of  a  big  city  and  the  plot  involved  twin  sisters  and 
mistaken  identity. 

Betty  Hammers,  of  Stewartstown,  Pennsylvania,  reigned 
as  Queen  and  Bob  Mizelle,  of  Arlington,  New  Jersey,  was

COLLEGE   BROADCASTS 

Through  the  courtesy  and  facilities  of  WGAP,  the  Mary- 
ville-Alcoa  radio  station,  the  College  is  producing  several 
regular  radio  programs.  The  Music  Hall  of  the  Fine  Arts 
Center  has  a  well  equipped  control  room  either  for  "live" 
broadcasts  by  a  special  wire  to  WGAP  or  for  tape-recording 
of  broadcasts.  Mr.  Curtis  Hughes,  of  the  music  faculty,  is 
now  in  charge  of  radio  activities,  and  is  the  announcer  for 
most  of  them. 

Each  Saturday  evening  during  the  football  season  a 
fifteen-minute  band  program  and  pre-game  pep  rally  was  put 
on.  Every  other  Sunday  afternoon  at  four  o'clock  Mr.  Hughes 
broadcasts  an  organ  program.  And  the  weekly  Y  program, 
which  is  the  oldest  of  the  College  broadcasts,  continues. 

A  regular  faculty  program  is  a  new  feature  this  semester. 
Each  Monday  evening  at  eight  o'clock  a  thirty-minute  talk  by 
a  faculty  member  is  broadcast.  Each  participant  chooses  some 
topic,  usually  related  to  his  own  teaching  field,  which  will 
have  popular  interest. 

Some  of  the  subjects  and  speakers  have  been  "The  Penn- 
sylvania Dutch"  by  Mr.  Reber,  "A  Phase  of  French  Geography" 
by  Miss  Wilkinson,  "Manana  is  Fiesta  Day  in  Mexico"  by 
Mr.  Schwam,  "White  Spirituals"  by  Miss  Home,  a  forum  on 
modern  art  led  by  Mr.  Beard,  "Starvation  in  the  Midst  of 
Plenty"  by  Miss  Meiselwitz,  "The  Great  Book  Series"  by  Dean 
Hunter,  "The  Psychology  of  the  Child"  by  Dr.  Briggs.  Other 
speakers  include  Mrs.  Kramer,  Professor  Walker,  Dr.  Griffitts, 
Miss  Martin,  Miss  Johnson,  and  Miss  Craven. 

THE  CLASS  OF   1952  GIFT 

A  commercial-size  deep  fat  fryer,  costing  approximately 
$375,  has  been  installed  in  the  Pearsons  Hall  kitchen.  It  is 
the  first  part  of  the  1952  senior  class  gift.  Payments  on 
pledges  and  unpledged  gifts  continue  to  come  in  and  it  is 
anticipated  that  the  rest  of  tlie  class  gift  will  be  used  toward 
the  purchase  of  new  stoves. 

The  addition  of  the  new  fryer  necessitated  some  rewir- 
ing in  the  kitchen  and  so  it  was  not  installed  until  the  Christ- 
mas vacation.  But  it  is  in  frequent  use  now  and  very  much 
appreciated,  both  by  those  who  cook  and  those  who  eat. 


Dr.   Queener   and   Dean   Hunter,   of   the   Faculty,   with   Dr.   Vale   and 
Dr.  Duff,  of  the  Directors,  at  the  informal   reception  for  the  Directors. 

Homecoming  on  November  1  had  good  weather,  a  good 
crowd,  and  a  good  game.  For  the  first  time  in  several  years 
it  didn't  rain;  more  than  450  alumni  and  their  families  at- 
tended the  barbecue.  The  game  that  night  ended  in  a  score- 
less tie,  but  it  was  against  a  strong  team  from  Georgetown 
College,  Kentucky,  which  by  the  records  was  due  to  win,  so 
the  result  was  considered  a  "moral  victory."  LaDonna  Baylor, 
a  senior  from  Sturgis,  Michigan,  was  crovsmed  as  Homecoming 
Queen  by  Alumni  President  Carl  Storey.  The  choir's  very 
colorful  float  won  first  prize  in  the  parade  through  town  in 
the  afternoon.  An  innovation  this  year  was  an  informal  dance 
held  in  the  Alumni  Gymnasium  immediately  after  the  game. 
It  gave  an  opportunity  for  students  and  alumni  to  see  each 
other  and  to  visit  with  old  friends. 

At  the  annual  Founders  Day  service  that  morning,  Rev. 
Dr.  Roy  Ewing  Vale,  of  Indianapolis,  a  Director  of  the  Col- 
lege, spoke  on  "Keeping  Your  Chapel."  A  number  of  the 
Directors  were  present  for  the  service  because  their  annual 
Fall  Meeting  was  held  that  week  end,  instead  of  at  the  usual 
date  late  in  November.  They  had  met  all  the  preceding  day, 
had  attended  a  faculty  music  recital  and  an  informal  recep- 
tion Friday  evening,  and  had  met  again  Saturday  morning 
for  breakfast  before  the  Founders  Day  service.  When  Dr. 
Vale  was  invited  to  speak  on  the  Chapel,  it  was  expected 
that  ground  would  be  broken  on  Founders  Day.  That  proved 
to  be  impossible  because  architects'  drawings  could  not  be 
completed,  but  the  theme  was  kept  as  suitably  anticipating 
the  construction  which  actually  began  two  months  later.

The  1953  Homecoming  will  be  on  Saturday,  October  24, 
a  week  earlier  than  usual  because  of  Coach's  football  schedule. 
The  game  will  be  against  Newberry  College  of  South  Caro- 
lina. We  realize  the  April  issue  of  the  Bulletin  is  too  far 
ahead  to  make  plans  but  the  October  issue  is  not  far  enough 
ahead,  so  why  not  mark  October  24  on  your  calendar  right 
now— before  this  issue  gets  lost  among  your  magazines.

dence Presbyterian  Church  in  Maryville  since  1945  and  thus

1952,  after  a  long  illness.  Dr.  Graham  came  to  the  United

ing several  years  he  entered  Carroll  College  and  was  gradu- 
ated there  and  later  from  McCormick  Theological  Seminary. 
Before  coming  to  Maryville  he  was  pastor  of  the  Pioneer  Pres- 
byterian Church,  Marionette,  Wisconsin.  Maryville  College 
conferred  the  honorary  D.D.  degree  upon  him  in  1947. 


You  can  still  define  a  college  or  a  university  as  Mark 
Hopkins  on  one  end  of  a  log  and  a  student  on  the  other,  but 
the  point  of  that  aphorism  is  that  both  have  to  be  good.  I  do 
not  believe  that  Washington  College  or  any  other  small  college 
can  compete  with  the  big  universities  in  making  specialists  or 
run-of-the-mine  products.  I  do  believe  that  with  excellence  it 
can  compete  in  the  production  of  enlightened  minds  and 
character. 

I  believe  that  it  is  the  small  college  in  this  country,  the 
college  which  puts  emphasis  on  the  humanities,  that  is  percu- 
liarly  adapted  to  send  forth  thoughtful  men  and  women— people 
who  have  caught  the  fire  of  great  thoughts  and  great  men, 
who  know  something  of  our  culture  an  history,  who  can  ex- 
change views  in  tolerance  with  others,  and  above  all,  who  have 
high  ethical  standards. 

Such,  I  believe,  is  the  challenge  to,  and  the  opportunity 
of,  the  small  college.  —  John  J.  McCoy,  Recently  U.  S.  High 
Commissioner  for  Germany,  in  the  Association  of  American 
Colleges  Bulletin.
