The Newness of It ll . . . Emory's President, Dr. Sidney Wal'l'er Martin, poses with his family, his I5- ear-olcl daughter Ellen, I0-year-old son Pliilips, and Mrs. Mariin. When Dr, Martin became President of Emory, he was just as much a beginner at the University as the freshmen en- tering the college. Like many of them, he was well prepared for his years at Emory. Immediately prior to accepting Emory's presidency, he was dean of the Franklin College of the University of Geor- gia and had been a member of that university's staff since 1935. President Martin received a bachelor of arts in English from Furman University, a master of arts in history from the University of Georgia, and a doctorate of philosophy in history from the University of North Carolina. He has been a lay leader in the Athens-Elberton District of the Meth- odist Church and chairman of the Official Board of Athens' First Methodist Church. A Phi Beta Kappa, President Martin is also a member of Phi Kappa Phi, recognition society, Pi Kappa Phi, social fraternity, Alpha Phi Omega, service fraternity, and Ki- wanis. His qualincations for the highest position at the Uni- versity are many, and his past experience has helped Presi- dent S. Walter Martin to be a very welcomed part of the newness on the Emory campus. 8 Orientation . . . rush! Rush Week . . . rush, rush! Registration . . . more rush! Classes . . . rush, rush, rush! Another year opened-same story, same principles, same stage, but . . . new time, new characters, new setting. It is the school year 1957-58. The place is Emory University, Georgia. This is a real- life drama including students, faculty, gen- eral administration, and facilities of eight schools. Edited, revised, added to, the story -after 121 years of progress-is THE NEWNESS OF IT ALL. The leading role this year was taken over by the new president, Dr. S. Walter Martin. He was elected April 18, 1957, by the Board of Trustees. The supporting roles were filled by: Dr. Judson C. Ward, vice-president of the University, Dr. Goodrich C. White, for- mer president and Chancellor, Henry L. Bow- den, chairman of the Board of Trustees, A. Boyd Campbell, Charles E. Thwaite, Jr., and Pollard Thurman, new trustess: Ewell E. Bassent, Emory controller and University treasurer, Boisfeuillet Jones, vice-president and administrator of health services, Dr. Charles T. Lester, dean of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, Dr. William H. Jones, director of the Summer School, and Dr. William A. A. Beardslee, acting dean of the College. The new sets for the story, many com- pleted but most of them yet to come, will cost nearly 37,000,000 Added attractions on campus are Bishops Hall, a newly paved and widened Fraternity Row, and more roads leading to the quadrangle. Under construc- tion are the Henrietta Egleston Hospital for Children, three new women's dorms next to Harris Hall, a central food service building, and permanent apartment units for married students. The headquarters of the School of Nursing was moved to Annex B , the temporary wooden structure back of Fishburne Build- ing. The Grill has ceased operations, and the Bookstore has been moved to a new location on the ground Hoor of the cafeteria wing of the Alumni Memorial Building. It now oc- cupies much of the space that had been given over entirely to Dooley's Den. Among the added attractions to the Uni- versity are new acquisitions of some old hold- ings. Mrs. Charles Howard Candler this year gave the large Candler Estate on Briarcliff Road to Emory. She also presented the Uni- versity Library with a collection of 300 rare books made by her husband in his lifetime. By turning the following pages, you will see, in pictures and words, the story of THE NEWNESS OF IT ALL. Emory University
