QIljp Alumni ^rratikFttt'a ifeaaag?

Dear Fellow Alumni:

Another school year is in progress and we look forward to another year of activity and accomplishment in our
Alumni Association.

During the past summer our work was supplemented by the assistance of Dr. F. A. Griffitts. He visited several
Maryville College Clubs in the interest of the Chapel Fund. Much good was accomplished and encouraging results
were attained but we must continue to give ourselves to this cause. Follow this effort to a successful conclusion in
your Club.

October 29th we observe Founders Day and Homecoming. Last year we had a large group of alumni return for
this" occasion but we want to do even better this year. We hope every Maryville College Club throughout the United
States will be represented at Homecoming this year. Also, we hope each of you as individuals will plan to be here.
We, here at Maryville, will do our best to make your visit an occasion of pleasure and satisfaction.

We are continuing our efforts to organize Maryville College Clubs wherever such a unit seems advisable. A num-
ber are now in motion and others will be soon. We want many of these throughout the country for a strong Alumni
Association will help to make a stronger Maryville.

We are deeply grateful for your interest, your loyalty and your devotion to Maryville College and its program.
And we are encouraged to believe that these qualities will enable our Alma Mater to achieve whatever goal she seeks.

Sincerely,

^-— f^7

FELLOW ALUMNI:

As I accept the privilege of talking with you a little through this page, there are four matters especially in my thoughts:

1. Student Enrolment

Everyone on the Hill was absorbed with registration processes for the two weeks that followed August. 30. Twice each year, before
the appointed work of instruction and living together can begin, a great deal of lining up, signing up, and toning up must be done.
When a college limits its size and has more applicants than can be accepted, the final selections and assignments are difficult. Well,
that is past for this semester and students and faculty are settling down to the routines by which education is actually accomplished.

Counting of student names and faces reveals thirteen more students than at the same time last year and one more than the all-
time record made two years ago. We count 899, of whom 509 are men. I asked the Dean of Students if 900 would not be an easier
number to say, and just then another arrived— but one already here went home, so the number it still 899.

When one breaks down the enrollment figures he finds: that there are 119 more men than women (before and during World
War II there were more women than men); that the number of women is rigidly limited by dormitory space and many were turned
away, whereas men are permitted to overflow into town and most qualified applicants were accepted; that the number of veterans
has decreased from 273 (64% of the men) in 1946 to 150 (30%) in 1949, but that the total number of men has increased from
427 in 1946 to 509 in 1949; that ten years ago 158 local students enrolled and this year 197.

We can handle 900 quite satisfactorily even though they crowd us; but actually we need more dormitory and laboratory space
for 800, to say nothing of 900. I hope we will never take enough to put us over 1,000— for various important reasons.

2. The New Buildings

The new Chapel is not yet a reality but it is nearer with every alumni pledge. We have almost sixty percent of the funds in
sight and are trusting you to put the fund over the top this fall and winter. The Women's Dormitory is a little farther awav but
the gifts tc it are already substantial. The Fine Arts Center will be built just as soon as costs are judged to be reasonable and stable.
So far they have seemed unreasonable. Before you read this we will have examined bids on the Fine Arts Center now being prepared
and will know whether or not it can be started this fall. These are improvements of great importance to the College.

3. The Directors of Maryville Colleee

In preparing the brief sketches of three new Directors, appearing on another page, I kept saying to myself, "We have a noble and
notable group of men and women on our Board." Permit me just to repeat that fact to you. From the founding of the College in
1819, the number of Directors authorized has been thirty-six. There are at present twenty ministers from eleven States, thirteen lay-
men, and three laywomen. All are active in the Church, believe in Christian education, and wish to see Maryville College trulv
Christian in program and influence. All serve without compensation and deserve the gratitude of every Maryville graduate.

4. The Church College in America

The fourth matter which is especially in my thoughts these days is the place and future of colleges like Maryville. Sometime I
may prepare for the Alumni Magazine an article on this vital theme. I have written and spoken of it in various places. Just now I
am serving as chairman of the Committee on Public Relations for the Commission on Christian Higher Education of the Associa-
tion of American Colleges, and we are trying to say something nationally on the theme. The increasing dominance of Government
with varied schemes of institutional and individual subsidy, the "nationalization" of education, the pressures against definite Chris-
tian programs imposed in the name of "tolerance," and the apathy of Protestant church people— all help to create a crucial problem.
Maryville is on solid foundations and I am full of hope for the future, but I am sure also that the necessity and independence of
the Christian college must be set forth with increased effectiveness.

Sincerely,

J\autf^ /Ur>L^u> -xU^^j^

PLANS COMPLETED FOR FINE ARTS CENTER

Schweikher and Elting, Architects, Chicago, in August com-
pleted drawings and specifications for the new Fine Arts Center
and these have been approved by the College. They represent
two years of study and work. President Lloyd, Miss Katharine
Davies, Chairman of the Fine Arts Division, and the archirrcts
have visited various leading music schools (including Jnilliard,
Eastman, and others).

About September first, sets of completed plans were submitted
to a number of contractors for estimates. The deadline for the
submission of bids was set at 3:00 p.m., September 30. Although
this Bulletin is dated October, it must be written in September
and therefore ahead of the submission of the bids.

Building costs are some better but still are high. If the bids
are within reasonable limits, a contract may be let and con-
struction started. On the other hand, if the bids are beyond prac-
ticable iimits, it will be necessary to ask for further estimates
or revise tiie plans or postpone construction. Hence, until a^ter
October 1 the actual building program cannot be known.

In a future issue of this Magazine, some description or floor
plan of the Fine Arts Center will be given.

DEATH OF JUSTICE WILEY B. RUTLEDGE

The death of Wiley B. Rutledge, Justice of the United States
Supreme Court, on September 10 in York, Maine, was of national
concern. It was of special concern to all Maryville College people
for Wiley Rudedge was one of the College's most distinguished
alumni.

He was a student in the Maryville College Preparatory De-
partment for two years and in the College Department for three
years between 1908 and 1913. He completed his junior year at
Maryville but took his senior year and bachelor's degree at the
University of Wisconsin. After teaching for several years in
high schools of Indiana, New Mexico, and Colorado, he took
his law degree at the University of Colorado. His going to the
West was partly for health reasons. After practicing law two

years in Boulder, Colorado, he became a member of the law
faculty of the University of Colorado in 1924, and for the next
fifteen years taught law there, at Washington University in St.
Louis, and at the University of Iowa. Af the two latter institu-
tions he was Dean of the Law Schools. President Roosevelt ap-
pointed him in 1939 to the United States Court of Appeals for
the Distnct of Columbia and in 1943 to the United States Su-
preme Court.

In October, 1945 he gave the Founders Day address at Mary-
ville College and the College conferred upon him the honorary
degree of Doctor of Laws.

In 1917 he was married to Annabel Person, who had been a
member of the Maryville College faculty from 1911 to 1914.
They have two daughters and one son.

PROGRESS IN WOMEN'S DORMITORY CAMPAIGN

The fund for a new women's dormitory has reached S73.614
in gifts and pledges, of which all but $i,163 has been paid in.
Miss Clemmie J. Henry is leading in the raising of this fund.

Of the total so far reached, $45,118 has come from individuals
or organizations of the Daughters of the American Revolution.
The first $25,000 was half of a legacy left to the College bv
Miss Augusta J. Boone, of Meriden, Connecticut. She became
interested in and acquainted with the College through the
D.A.R., on whose list of officially Approved Schools Marwille
has a place. The Tennessee State Society, D.A.R., this past
summer contributed $7,125 to the fund.

Various other friends of the College have given the other
$28,496. The campaign is to be continued until there is enough
to erect a building to house between seventy-five and one
hundred girls, now estimated to cost $250,000 or more. This is
one of the College's vital needs.

John C. Crawford. Jr., '27, served as General Chairman of th»
Blount County Campaign Committee for the Maryville Colloge

Maryville.

THE CHAPEL FUND

On August 31, money and pledges in hand for use in building
the Samuel TyncLile Wilson Cluipel had reached a total of
$221,299.93. That is well on the way toward the goal of $400,-
000, but there is still a steep road ahead. The College is depend-
ing on alumni to furnish the $180,000 still needed. As rapidlv
as possible all will be given specific opportunity to give.

RETIREMENT OF MISS HALLOCK
AND MISS HARWOOD

Mary Matthews Hallock, Head of Baldwin Hall for the past
thirteen years, retired from active service at commencement time.
Miss Hallock was in college work for thirty-eight years, serving
at five institutions. For twenty-five years before coming to Mary-
ville she was a Dean of Women and most of the time a teacher
of English or Education also— at Texas Presbyterian College,
State Teachers College (Wayne, Nebraska), Conservatorv of
Music in Cincinnati, and Shenandoah College, Virginia. She
holds the B.A. degree from the University of Kansas and the
M.A. degree from Columbia University. At Maryville College
Miss Hallock won the esteem of faculty and students alike by
her ability, fairness, unselfishness, and good judgment, and
rendered a valuable service.

Iola Gauss Harwood, Assistant to the Head of Baldwin Hall
for the past twelve years, retired from her position at Maryville
College at commencement time. She has been a life-long friend
of Miss Hallock and it was upon Miss Hallock s recommendation
that she came to Maryville in 1937. Miss Harwood was a teacher
in Texas Presbyterian College with Miss Hallock and later taught
in Silliman College, Louisiana, Mary Baldwin College, Virginia,
and Shenandoah College, Virginia. She holds the B.A. degree
from the University of Kansas and the M.A. degree from Co-
lumbia University. Miss Harwood's good spirit, conscientiousness,
and loyalty made her years at Maryville serviceable ones.

DR. ORR'S BOOK

During the past year Dr. H. E. Orr has expanded and pub-
lished in book form his lectures on "The Words of Jesus and
Problems of Religious Thinking." The new book has 159 pages
and contains a revision and a summary of his course of the same
title which has meant so much to so many Maryville College
students during the past twenty-five years. Copies may be or-
dered fiom the Maryville College Book Store at $1.75 each,
postpaid.

As usuai, the faculty Were widely scattered during the summer
months and did many interesting things.

Two members visited Europe. Miss Charlotte Johnson, Instruct-
or in Art, made an intensive visit to art centers in England,
France, Switzerland, and Italy. Mrs. Rollin Marquis (Carmen
Park, '19) Director of the Student Center and Instructor in
Bible, spent the summer in England, Scotland, France, and It?ly
with her son, who is a student at Oxford University, England.

Many of the faculty did further study at summer schools: Miss
Davies, Miss Home, and Miss Vawter were at Eastman School
of Music; Mr. Johnson and Mr. Reber were at the University
of Indiana, Mjss Robertson and Mrs. Pieper at the University of
Tennessee; Mr. Hughes at Northwestern; Miss Nelson at the
University of Michigan; Mi. Bushing at the State University
of Iowa; Mr. Ainsworth at the University of Chicago; Mirs Mei-
selwitz attended a Nutrition Workshop at Michigan State Col-
lege, and Mr. Davis attended coaching schools at Georgia Tech
and U. T

Several faculty members taught in summer schools: Dr. Briggs
and Dr. Williams at Appalachian State Teachers College, North
Carolina; Dr. Case at Huntingdon College, Alabama; Dr. Barker
at Furnian University, South Carolina; Professor Howell at
Union College, Kentucky. Mrs. Kramer covered the country
from south to north, first teaching in a Methodist Laboratory
School for Christian Workers in West Palm Beach, Florida, and
then touring New England.

Miss Archibald is now Mrs. Conrad Eaddy. They were mar-
ried August 24.

A son, David LeRoy, Jr., was born to Mr. and Mrs. Engel-
hardt on June 23.

Miss Jessie Johnson is back at the College after being away
during the second semester last year on Sabbatical Leave. She
studied in her field of American literature at Columbia Univer-
sity. Mr. Pieper's leave of absence has been extended for another
year that he might continue his graduate study. He was at
the University of Tennessee last year and is to be at the Univer-
sity of North Carolina this year.

"A Manual for First Year Theory" by Miss Home, Associate
Professor of Music, was published this summer. It is a textbook
based on material formerly hectographed for her theory classes
and is available at the Book Store.

ENROLL NOW FOR 1950

Alumni are advised to see that their sons and daughters and
other young people in whom they have interest file applications
now, if they are planning to enter Maryville College in the fall
of 1950.

The number of applications each year has become so large
that the dormitories have been filled months ahead of time. The
College's officers have regretted keenly the fact that many a-
lumni sons and daughters and others whom they have directed
toward Maryville have applied too late to be accepted.

The order of acceptance is determined by the order of com-
pletion of the application credentials and not the date of the
preliminary application. For this reason it is advisable to start
the application procedure early in the fall of the year previous
to the anticipated time of enrolment. Otherwise, a delay in re-
turn of even one credential might mean the delay of completion
of the application, and so acceptance, until after the quota had
been filled.

ALUMNI CHAPEL CAMPAIGN

The iast issue of this Alumni Magazine, received by alumni in
early summer, described in some detail the plans to present the
Chapel Fund appeal to Maryville alumni everywhere. Most of
the campaign is to be carried forward this fall and winter, but
a substantial beginning was made during the summer.

Area campaigns were initiated in Washington, D.C., on June
14, in Philadelphia on June 17, in Pittsburgh on June 20, in
Chattanooga on July 11, in Cincinnati on July 22, in Atlanta
on July 28, and in Birmingham on July 29.

This schedule seemed wise even though many people were
away in the summer season and it was realized that none of the
area campaigns could be completed until fall. Several report
meetings have been held already and about one fourth of
the pledge cards distributed have been returned to the committees.
The other three fourths are expected in the early fall. It is
encouraging that 120 of the 135 cards so far returned carry
pledges or gifts to the Chapel Fund.

Either President Lloyd or Professor F. A. Griffitts, '25, has
been at most of the planning and report meetings, and Mr. L. A
Black, Director of Maintenance, visited each of the southern
cities to make the preliminary plans. Dr. Griffitts gave most of
his time during the summer to this work.

Other centers where there are sufficient concentrations of
alumni are initiating similar programs. In these centers alumni
committees will place pledge cards in the hands of all fellow
alumni. Those who do not live in such centers will receive di-
rect from the College pledge cards for their use.

The goal: the largest possible gift for the Chapel from every
Maryville College man and woman.

RETIREMENT OF MISS BASSETT

Miss Almira C. Bassett, '09,
Assistant Professor of Latin, who
has been a member of the Mary-
ville College faculty since 1926,
during the summer announced
her retirement from active teach-
ing because of frail health.

Her request to be allowed to
retire was made only after she
found she did not have sufficient
strength t o continue. I t was
granted by the College with deep regret. Miss Bassett has been
an able and beloved teacher.

She graduated from Maryville College with highest honors in
her class in 1909. In 1921 she received the Master of Arts degree
in Latin from the University of Michigan. In various years she
studied at Michigan and other universities, including the Uni-
versity of Chicago and the University of Tennessee. In 1928
she studied and traveled in Italy, Greece, France, and other
European countries.

After graduation from Maryville College she was a hieh
school teacher for thirteen years, of which eight were at Water-
loo, Iowa, and the last three at Birmingham, Michigan. She was
called by her Alma Mater in 1926.

Miss Almira will continue to make her home just off the
campus with her sister, Miss Emma Bassett, and her brother. Dr.
Harry J. Bassett, '04, who was Professor of Latin at Maryville
College from 1905 to 1920 and recently retired from the faculty
of Southwestern, Memphis.

John H. Murrian, President of the W. I. Savage Company.
Knoxville. served as General Chairman of the Knoxville Cam-
paign Committee for the Chapel Fund.

THE 1950 FEBRUARY MEETINGS

The 74th series of February
Meetings will be held February
1-9. 1950. The preacher will be
the Rev. William M. Elliott,
Ph.D., D.D., Pastor of the High-
land Park Presbyterian Church,
Dallas, Texas.

Dr. Elliott, who is a leading
Minister of the Presbyterian
Church in the United States
(Southern), was the February
Meetings leader in 1943. At that time he was Pastor of the
Druid Hills Presbyterian Church in Atlanta. He is a graduate
of Park College and Louisville Presbyterian Seminary and holds
the Ph.D. degree from the University of Edinburgh, Scotland.

STUDENT HONORS

Dan Winter, a senior music major, last spring won the first
prize, a $1,000 scholarship, in a contest in Memphis sponsored
by the Memphis and Mid-South Piano Scholarship Association
for the region covering Tennessee. Mississippi, and Arkansas. The
$1,000 may be used for piano study in any school approved by
the Association. Dan has studied under Miss Katharine Davies,
chairman ol the Division of Fine Arts, since he entered college
in 1946.

Margaret Rock, who graduated last May. was awarded a 51.500
Danforth Foundation Fellowship for 1949-1950. She is being
sent to the University of Massachusetts. Amherst, to work there
for the year in connection with religious and student activities.
The Foundation gives only fifteen such fellowships each vear.

McCormick Seminary has notified the College that three of
the eight winners in the scholarship competition examination
are Maryville graduates— Katherine Carpenter, Hedwig Nabholz,
and Marjorie Prall.

130TH COMMENCEMENT

The 1949 Commencement was more like prewar Commence-
ments than any held for six or seven years. Parents and alumni
can travel treely again and the graduating classes are getting
back to theii accustomed size and balance.

For the third time the services on Baccalaureate Sunday and
the Exercises on Commencement Day were in the Alumni Gvm-
nasium. But it has been gratifying to see how well the Gym
adapts itself to Commencement events. A big temporary platform,
chairs on the floor, the bleachers, and good acoustics combine to
make a very good place even though it be a little rustic in its
details.

The annual Senior Breakfast given by President and Mrs.
Lloyd at the President's House was on Saturday, May 7. The
Senior Chapel Service, with first appearance of caps and gowns,
was on Saturday, May 14.

The Commencement Play, "Wuthering Heights," wh'ch is
no longer given by the senior class but by dramatic groups, was
presented twice in the Maryville High School auditorium— on
Saturday night, May 14, and Monday night, May 16. All the
major plnys since the Chapel fire in March, 1947, have been
given at Maryville High School whose officials have been very
generous indeed. After careful consideration the Faculty has
decided to have these plays this year in Alumni Gymnnrium
with such improvised stage as may be possible.

Presidtnt Lloyd's Baccalaureate sermon theme was "Finally—"
(2 Cor. 13:11). The Senior Music Hour on Baccalaureate Sun-
day afternoon was held in New Providence Church in order to
have an organ available. The preacher at the Commencement
Vespers was M. le pasteur Marcel Pradervand of Geneva, Swit-
zerland.

On Monday, May 16, the annual distribution of prizes was
made at the chapel hour in the morning, a tennis match vvas won
from Tusculum College in the afternoon, and the second ren-
dition ol "Wuthering Heights" came at night.

Tuesday, Alumni Day, began with a special musical program
at the chapel hour. In the afternoon President and Mrs. Llovd
gave their annual reception for alumni, seniors, parents of stu-
dents, faculty, and other guests. In the evening the Annual Alum-
ni Dinner was attended by 325 persons. Earl W. Blazer, '30, Pres-
ident of the Alumni Association, presided. The various reunion
classes were recognized and Samuel D. McMurray, of Bristol,
Virginia, responded for the Fifty- Year Class, 1899, and Paul
Armstrong, of Detroit, Michigan, for the Twenty-Five- Year
Class, 1924. Because of the continuation of the Alumni Chapel
Fund Campaign the nominating committee moved the re-election
of the 1948-1949 officers and the Association unanimously
adopted the motion. Thus Mr. Blazer, Mr. A. B. Waggoner, '14
and Miss Winifred Painter, T5, continue as President, Vice
President and Recording Secretary respectively. Ruby Lane
DeLozier, '37, Helen Anderson Kerr, '44, and Rollo Wells King,
'41, were elected to the Executive Committee to serve for three
years.

After the Dinner, a band concert was given in "the dell" below
the college hospital. This was a successful resumption of a prewar
feature of Commencement Week.

Throughout the week there were many alumni and parents
visiting the College. There was quite a pilgrimage into the Great
Smoky Mountains by parents, seniors, and a few other students
who could find time between exams. An especially successful
25th reunion was held by the Class of 1924. Thirty-one members,
about fifty percent of the Class, were present. Paul Armstrong

was elected president for the next five years, succeeding Mal-
colm Miles.

Commencement Day itself (May 18) found a large proportion
of underclassmen already on the way home, as usual. The weather
was good as it had been on Baccalaureate Sunday. At the Direct-
ors' meeting, held at 8:30 a.m., formal action was taken con-
ferring degrees, appointing faculty and staff for the ensuing
year, adopting a budget, approving campaign and building plans,
and some other items.

At the Graduation Exercises
the address was given bv the
Rev. Edward Fay Campbe'l,
D.D., Philadelphia, head of the
Division of Higher Education
of the Presbyterian Board of
Christian Education. The B.A.
degree was conferred on 72
seniors (43 women and 29 men)
and the B.S. degree (now avail-
able to all science majors) on
38 (20 women and 18 men), a total of 110. In addition to these
there were 11 who finished their work in December, 1948 and
12 more who expected to finish in some summer school, bringing
the total of graduates in the Class of 1949 to 133.

A Fifty-Year Certificate was awarded to the one member of
the Class of 1899 who could be present— Samuel Duffield Mc-
Murray of Bristol, Va. Mention was made of the other two living
members of the class— Ethel Meek Kennedy McKenna of Mount
