15th ANNUAL FOUNDERS DAY AND HOMECOMING
Saturday, November 1, 1947

9:45 a.m. — Founders Day Service (In the Alumni Gymnasium)

6:00 p.m. — Homecoming Barbecue on the Athletic Field (In case of rain — in the
Alumni Gymnasium) . Due to the great increase in food prices this
year, the Executive Committee of the Alumni Association voted at
their meeting on September 19, 1947 to serve the Barbecue meal at 50
cents per "plate".

8:00 p.m. — Football game with University of the South (Sewanee). (Get your
special alumni ticket either at the Alumni Office or at the barbecue;
special reduced price, 75c).

Homecoming Committees

The following chairmen were elected by the Executive Committee to prepare
for Homecoming. Each chairman selected his own committee.

The Food Committee: M. H. Gamble, Jr., '36, Chairman; Marguerite Badgett, '36;
Ruby Lane DeLoder, '37.

The Hospitality Committee: Fred A. Gnffitts, '25, Chairman: Volta F. Goddard, '13;
Virginia King, '32; H. F. Lamon, "40.

The Promotion Committee: David H. Briggs, '19, Chairman; Lea Callaway, '32;
Bessie Henry Olin, '20; and the College Pep Committee.

If you have not already done so and there is time, won't you send a postal
card to the Alumni Office saying that you plan to attend? It is a real help and
a relief to our anxiety lest we fail to prepare for all of you. It is too late at the
barbecue to do it.

I > t • . l i- Friends:

The 129th Maryville College year is under way. Students and
faculty are well on the road toward the 1948 Commencement. The
problems for which no solutions were in sight just before and just after
the semester opened the last week of August, somehow got solved or
with time grew less important — as such problems usually have a way
of doing. Now other problems arc appearing. But life and the Col-
lege must go on even it perfection in arrangements and performance is
not attained.

Enrolment

The Dean of Students, whose office handles registration, tells me
that the following figures have emerged from the opening days of the
fall semester: Total number of full-time students 898, of whom 503 are
men and 395 are women. There are 339 freshmen and 45 transfer
students. The number of veterans listed is 252. Perhaps the notable
facts about these figures are these: (1) This is the largest number of
college students ever to enroll at the College in any semester or any full year; it is 63 more than at the same
time List year: the second semester will increase the number. Only once in Maryville's history did a full
year's enrolment exceed this number — in 1920, the corresponding year after World War I, when there were
4>2 college students and 551 preparatory students, of whom not more than 871 were in attendance at any one
time. (2) In order to prevent excessive overcrowding, the College turned away more students than in any year
of its history. (3) This number is possible only because 179 students room in homes of the town and 18^ live
within commuting distance. (4) The men outnumber the women by 108, whereas before the war women
usually outnumbered men.

New Faculty and Staff

The larger enrolment of the past two years has made it necessary to increase the teaching staff. Last year
we used more than the normal number of part-time teachers. Most work is carried this year by full-time
teachers. We have been fortunate in securing a considerable number of promising younger teachers and staff
members as well as some of more experience. Some are alumni, some from other backgrounds — all in sympathy
with Maryville standards.

Building Program
The Chapel burned March 26. Announcement was made in May that generous friends had given assurance
funds would be provided to build a Fine Arts unit provided the Chapel is rebuilt — the two costing probably
more than a half million dollars. Elsewhere in this Bulletin is the statement which I made to the faculty and
students on May 16. This is a magnificent benefaction.

Much study has been given by the Directors and President, in consultation with others, as to procedure. No
public announcement is yet ready, further than this: It appears necessary to organize a campaign for funds to
provide the following buildings: a Chapel (funds in addition to insurance), a Fine Arts Center (provided for),
a Women's Dormitory (a fund was started before the War), and an additional Science Building. Campaign plans
will be fairly well completed by the end of October. Architects are now making sketches for consideration.
The time of actual building has not been decided. Announcements of the financial campaign schedule will be
made when it is completed. The College will be needing the devoted assistance of every graduate, former
student, and friend.

Sincerely yours,

GREETINGS:

It has been a long time since Maryville College was founded in
1819, but down through the years the old Institution has carried on, hav-
ing successfully weathered every storm and courageously withstood every
hardship. In the meantime the unfortunate War between the States oc-
curred and both World Wars have been fought and won. The noble
sons and daughters of Maryville College participated in all of these con-
flicts and endured many hardships and trials and tribulations without
murmur or complaint, always manifesting that true spirit of courage,
patriotism and devotion so characteristic of all sons and daughters of
Maryville College throughout the vears of her existence.

It has been more than two vears since we won the last War, but
we have not yet won the Peace. Can we win it? Do we deserve to
win it? We cannot afford to lose the Peace. We cannot afford to let
the World fall apart or permit civilization to disintegrate. The United
States must carry the beacon light and lead the way to a permanent
Peace which will be the fruits of all the "blood, sweat and tears" which
have resulted from the last World Conflict. It behooves us, one and all,
to do his and her full duty and to preach patriotism, loyalty and states-
manship at every opportunity, and to stand upon the Constitution and
revere the Flag, and to smite Communism wherever and whenever it
shows its ugly head. Let's be "up and at em," fellow Alumni and friends,
and let's make sure that we win a lasting Peace.

Another thing challenges our attention— Voorhees Chapel has been
destroved by fire and the College has suffered an irreparable loss. A new
Chapel must be built. Let it rise bigger and better on the ruins of the
old, and stand as a perpetual monument to the indomitable will and
dogged determination and unflagging devotion of all graduates and
friends of the Old College who may in any manner contribute to its re-

construction.

Cordially yours,

JAMES R. SMITH

FOUNDERS DAY

Roy Hoocl Beeler, Attorney Genera] for the State of
Tennessee and current President oi the Maryville Col
1 ge Alumni Association, will deliver the 15th annual
Founders Day message in the Alumni Gymnasium on
November !. The service will begin at 9:45 a.m. The
title of Mr. Beeler 's address will be "Civilization
Then and Now."

Mr. Beeler was graduated from Maryville College in
1906. He received the J. D. degree from the University
• ■I Chicago in 1910 and was admitted to the bar of
Tennessee in 1911. From then until 1927 he practiced
law in Knoxville. He served as Assistant Attorney
General from 1927 to 1932 and has served in his
present capacity since 1932. Maryville College con-
ferred upon him an honorary LL.D. degree in 1940.

The College is fortunate in having Mr. Beeler on
the campus for Founders and Homecoming Day. He
and Mrs. Beeler will have just returned from Boston
where they attended the meeting of the National As-
sociation of Attorneys General in the latter part of
October. Though the capacity of the Alumni Gymna-
sium is not equal to the former Voorhees Chapel, best
possible seating ararngements will be made. All alumni
and friends are cordially invited and urged to attend.

DIRECTOR OF DEVELOPMENT

President Ralph \V. Lloyd has announced the ap-
pointment of Mr. Sidney E. Hening, of New York, as
Director of Development. His service at the College
will begin November 1 and will have special relation
to the forthcoming campaign for a new Chapel and
other buildings.

Mr. Hening has had wide experience in important
posts with the YMCA in China and the United States,
as Treasurer of one of the large church missions boards,
and in such work as that on which he is to be engaged
at Maryville College. He will be a regular member of
the College's staff during the coming months.

SUMMER ON THE CAMPUS

The campus was a busy place all summer. Three
Presbyterian young people's conferences, each lasting
approximately a week, met here, and during the last
week in June the annual meetings of the Synod of
Mid-South, the women's Synodical Society, and young
people's Westminster Fellowship, of the Presbyterian
Church in the L'.S.A.. brought tour hundred people to
live in the dormitories for tour days.

A crew of painters have renewed the outside of
Baldwin, Memorial, Bartlett, and Thaw, and extensive
inside areas. Carpenters, plumbers, and other workers
have been busy every day. The result of much ot then
work is not noticed because it represents the endless
repairs necessary on a large plant like the College.
Among the changes which are noticeable are partitions
in several Anderson Annex classrooms to make tem-
porary music teaching Studios. There has been con
siderable investment in new roots, new chairs, ^n^l
the like. The athletic fields were used daily for the
city recreational program and amateur league baseball
games.

THE FIFTY-YEAR CLASS

i'i t|u- six living in, mbi rs of the Class of 1897, five
attended the Alumni Dinner and Commencement Exer-
cisi in May. The live were Mi--, Lucy Emma Caldwell,
of New Market, Tennessee; Miss Edith Goddard, of
Maryville; Mrs. Nell McSpadden Keeble, of Asl
Virginia; Mr. Edward Montgomery, of Knoxville: ami
Mr-, Augusta Muecke Tedford, of Maryville, Ju Ig
John C. Crawford, of Maryville, the sixth member
"I the ('lass, had planned to attend but was prevented
by illness from being present.

Miss Caldwell has spent all her life in New Market,
where two of her major interests through the years
have been raising flowers and teaching children in
Sunday School and day schools.

"Miss Edith," as she is generally called, retired in
1945 after almost half a century of teaching in high
school and elementary schools in Maryville. During
the years she was prominent in educational circles
throughout the State.

Mrs. Keeble taught in East Tennessee for eight
years; then in 1907 married William Keeble, a fellow
college student (upon whom the College conferred an
honorary degree in 1945). Since 1919 she has lived
in Ashland, Virginia, where her husband is Professor
of Physics at Randolph-Macon College 'for Men.

Mr. Montgomery lived in Mannington, West Vir-
ginia, for a few years after graduation and then moved to
Knoxville, where he now lives in retirement. For thirty
years he was in the U. S. postal service.

Mrs. Tedford lived in Kingston. Tennessee, her home
town, until she married Baxter Tedford in 192 5. Since
then she has lived in Maryville.

Judge Crawford studied law after his graduation and
returned to Maryville as an attorney. For forty years
he has been on the Board of Directors and is now
Acting Treasurer of the College. Mrs. Crawford was
a classmate of his during most of the course. They
have had the rare distinction of seeing six sons graduate
from Maryville.

HORACE LEE ELLIS

HORACE LEE ELLIS

Horace Lee Ellis,
Librarian Emeritus,
died at his home in
Maryville on August
5. The funeral serv
ice was conducted by
President Lloyd at the
First Baptist Church
and he was buried in
Magnolia Cemetery.
Mr. Ellis was Librarian
for twenty years, from
1924 to 1943 when he
retired because of
health and was elected
Librarian Emeritus.

He graduated from
Maryville College in
the Class of 1898 and
married Cordelia
Young, a member of

the same class. For two years thereafter he taught in the
Preparatory Department of the College, then for seven
years was a high school principal and teacher. In 1907
he went to Carson-Newman College as professor of
Latin, a position he held for seven years. During three
of those years he was both professor and dean and
during one other was both professor and treasurer.

In 1914 he returned to his Alma Mater as professor
of education and principal of the Preparatory Depart-
ment, which at that time had over five hundred stu-
dents. In 1924 the Preparatory Department was closed
and he became Librarian.

Thus his name was linked to Maryville College for
thirty-one years as an active member of the faculty and
for forty-two years as student, teacher, principal, li-
brarian, and librarian emeritus. He worked until his
failing health would allow him to work no more.
Maryville College alumni will remember him for his
friendliness, his courtesy, and his ability.

Mr. Ellis was an active officer or member in the
First Baptist Church of Maryville throughout most of
his life. He was in many ways a true representative
of the "Old South." On the campus his politeness
never failed whether dealing with faculty or students.
In his later years at the College he will be remembered
as a white-haired man sitting on the front row in the
Chapel where he was a sympathetic listener to all
speakers and programs.

JOE JACKSON

Many Maryville students will remember Joe Jackson
as one of Maryville's faithful cooks during the past
decade. A year ago he had to give up work because
of illness. Always he hoped to improve enough to
return. But that was not to be and he died on June 19.

Joe Jackson was an efficient co-worker of John Henry
who has been the senior member of the kitchen staff for
many years. Joe was an honest and honorable man and
loyal to his family, his church, and his work. Various
college faculty and staff member^ attended the funeral
and President Lloyd took part in the service.

TED B. PRATT

Theodore B. Pratt, of the
Class el 1943, has been ap-
pointed Executive Secretary
of the Alumni Association,
succeeding James R. Smith.
'35, and began his work on
S pti mber ').
V After his graduation I

^^^fl ^j College Ted entered the

A ^^^^^^^ Army and went through

B iM fl ^^J tnc European campaign as
I A a combat officer. He was

discharged at the end of the
war as a Captain of In-
fantry. While in the Army he took courses in Shriven-
ham American University, England, and Biarritz Ameri-
can University, France. During the past year he has been
doing graduate work in the fields of sociology and
journalism at Ohio State University and received his
master's degree at the end of August. At the College
Ted is to give attention to publicity matters a? well
as alumni matters. While a student at Maryville he
was an assistant in the college offices and was a leader
in student affairs.

Mrs. Pratt is also working in the Alumni Office.
She is a graduate of Ohio State University with a major

in radio speech.

•

Mr. Smith (Jimmy) has rendered a notable service
as Executive Secretary of the Alumni Association. He
was a full-time member of the college staff for four
years, from 1940 to 1944. When the war came he
felt that he should take a pastorate so that a man
needed in the pastorate could enter the chaplaincy,
and to assist in the care of the Church during the
emergency. The Graystone Presbyterian Church of
Knoxville issued an urgent call and he felt led to ac-
cept it in 1944. However, he has continued to give
part time to the alumni work and at considerable per
sonal sacrifice has done an excellent service for the
College and for the Alumni Association. Although he
is to give up his official connection with the office he
will continue to help in many ways. He still feels that
it is his duty to remain with the Graystone Church,
which has important plans ahead.

ARTISTS SERIES OMITTED

After due consideration it has been decided not to
.utempt the Artists Series this college year.

When the Chapel burned, not only the College but
the community lost the only suitable auditorium large
enough for such events as the Artists Series. To
finance attractions of the quality maintained over the
years, it is necessary to have the patronage of people of
Maryville and Knoxville as well as the students and
faculty, There are now no adequate facilities m
Maryville.

Therefore, the portion ot the Student Activities Fee
allocated annually to the Artists Series will be held in a
reserve fund to undergird the Series when a new Chapel
permits n- resumption.

DR. MITCHELL

Sixty students are enrolled in the ground course,
half of whom are taking the flying instructions this
semester, while the remaining half will fly next
semester. The courses are open to all students who can
pass the required physical examination. A special fee
is required for the flying course.

FOOTBALL SCHEDULE

The 1947 football schedule, with scores of games al-
ready played, is as follows:

September 20 — Hiwassee (0) — MC (33) Home

September 26— Tenn. Polyteeh. (13)— MC (7) Away

October 4— Centre (0)— MC (27) Away

October IS— East Tenn. State (6)— MC (31) Home

October 2S — Emory and Henry Home

Ni ivember 1 — Sewanee Homecoming

November 7 — Middle Tenn. State _. Away

November 1 S — Carson -Newman Home

Nov ember 22 — Tusculum .' Away

Coaches Honaker and Davis are assisted by Marvin
Mitchell, a senior, who has played four years of foot-
ball at Maryville and was captain of the 1946 team.
About seventy men were on the squad at the beginning
of the semester. Prospects look good for a successful
season.

NEW ATHLETIC FIELD

The athletic field has been extended along Court
Street toward the College Woods approximately 250
feet, the distance made possible by the amount of
earth available on a "cut-and-fill" basis. The newly
cleared and graded field adds approximately 2J/2 acres
to the present fields. The graded surface has been
limed and will be allowed to settle during the winter
months. In the spring it will be regraded and sowed
with grass.

It is hoped that the football field may eventually be
moved from its present location back of Thaw Hall to
the recently graded field on Court Street. Former
students will remember that the present football field
has a decided slope. Due to its central position on the
campus, grading did not seem desirable.

The proposed location would make possible a per-
fectly graded field with easy access from Court Street.
The present field would serve excellently for intr.imural
athletics. The change cm not be made, of course,
until the new field has acquired a suitable sod.

FLIGHT TRAINING

Through arrangements made with Cook's Aero
Service, an approved flight school at the Knoxville

Municipal Airport four miles from Maryville, the
College is offering this year courses in flight training.
Ground instruction i> given on the campus in a one
credit hour course, while an additional hour of credit
is allowed for the flight instruction, which includes 24
flying hours per semester. This work is taken in ad-
dition to the normal schedule.
