( ) the town of Staunton, Virginia, with its popula- tion of about three thousand, its many comfortable homes and rich farms, its healthful climate and beau- tiful scenery, there came in the summer of 1842 an adventurer of unusual caliber even for days when ad- venture of whatever kind secured the best talent of America. A native of Maine, graduate of Dartmouth, ex-minister, lawyer, teacher, and author, he had travel- ed widely, his latest field having been educational work among young women in South Carolina. )ther reasons there surely were for this last move and for later ones, but certainly the dominant one was to start in this ter- ritory, rich in so many ways, a proper school for the daughters of prosperous and devout citizens. For the man who had taught and preached for twenty years, the author of the widely read Scholar ' s Companion, was guided all his life by a strong belief in the power of moral precept. His name was Rufus William Bailey, and the college which today celebrates its cen- tenary recognizes him as its founder. Although the town which he selected as most suit- able for his enterprise had supported several similar experiments previously, and although later decades started several more, his was the first successful one, and the longest lived. Why? What did Mr. Bailey and the number of ministers and other gentlemen do and say at their meetings that summer that laid so sure a groundwork?

A self-perpetuating stees was appointed to manage the funds and property and promote the interests of the Seminary, whose pupils were to be admitted after examina- tion of their literary attain- ments. The Principal was to plan the course of study, subject only to the stipulation that such courses shall al- ways contemplate a daily rec- itation by all the pupils able to read, of a portion of the Sacred Scriptures. With this meager blue- print and an abundant faith. Air. Bailey, as Principal, as- sisted by his wife and two daughters, opened school that fall in rooms over a Cabinet- maker ' s shop in Court-House Alley, but moved soon to a large frame house on Green- ville avenue.

There were sixty young ladies, among them one named Mary Julia Baldwin, to whom such a Plan pro- posed by such men was attractive. (Or, at least, to their parents.) The first catalogue, printed in 1844, and appended to a sermon of one of the Trustees to give a wide gratuitous circulation, shows that fact. For a solid and useful Education plus whatever or- nament might be required, they paid $1(X)-$130 a year, including board. They studied in school from 8 A. M. to 12 noon, from 2 to 4. and in Boarding houses from 7 to 9. Their books were The Bible, Porter ' s Rhetorical Reader, Brown ' s English Gram- mar, Colburn ' s Mental Arithmetic, Davies ' Algebra. And they followed this schedule for two sessions of live months each with no vacation between! Every student had a daily fare of Reading, Writ- ing, Spelling, Arithmetic, English Grammar, Geog- raphy. Then she might choose further from Rhetoric, Botany, Chemistry, Astronomy, Algebra, History, Natural Philosophy. Solid and useful enough, you say, but did girls of the 1840 ' s thrive on such heavy fare — no sweets, no stimulants, no cokes, no jukes? The lightest mental pabulum in the catalogue are Piano Forte, Guitar, French, Drawing and Painting; but the description of the Ladies in charge of these makes their sphere seem anything but frivolous. The seriousness of educators at this period seems to 11s at times both pompous and puritanical. The gen- eral tone is perhaps best indicated by referring to the dedicatory speech of Rev. B. M. Smith at the laying of the cornerstone on June 15, 1844. He scoffs at the acquisition of accomplishments, so-called, German Waltzes, French dances, and Italian music and paint- ing. He felt that female education had gone too far in making woman a mere toy, that efforts to teach them to play had gone to ridiculous extremes. Now, he says, we want no Calisthenics, no measured plays, no scientific jumping — no running by rules or laughing by squares. But it is wrong to suppose that such pro- nouncements or stricter codes of public deportment than girls today know could obtain an unlaughing, un- mischievous student body. Furthermore, the picture that Mr. Smith presents of education as a whole is an appealing one, these strictures aside. He cites Milton ' s definition of edu- cation — to permit one to perform justly, skillfully, and magnanimously the duties of life, and then goes on to speak of the spiritual, mental, and physical as- pect. If he had no use for the lascivious waltz. or the impure imaginations of the French theatre, he still relished a happy and vigorous group of students. Surpassingly beautiful for situation is this location. We reckon among its great advantages this broad green yard; we long to see it the scene of those healthy sports which invigorate without fatigue, amuse without corruption ; excite unaffected goodnature, and even aid in cementing those early friendships which, in after veais, will be remembered as Pilgrims remember Fountains and groves in the vast desert. Well, the cornerstone was laid and sealed, contain- ing among other items the Holy Bible enclosed in oil silk, with the superscription — The only rule of Faith, and First text-book of the Augusta Female Seminary. The Virginia Legislature passed an act incorporating the school on January 30, 1845. The Board met reg- ularly to express satisfaction with the progress of things, to deal with financial and other matters, and to adopt rules. In 1849 Mr. Bailey resigned.

Later he went to Texas, where he died as president of Austin College. He had projected and organized the school. It was the work of the Board for the next thirteen years to keep it nourishing. And no one who reads Waddell ' s record of this period can doubt that it was hard going, or that the present college owes them a great deal. In the first place, it was hard to obtain a Principal who was at once satisfactory and satisfied. There were five regularly appointed ones between 1849 and 1863 — Matthews, Campbell, Browne, Marquiss, and Tinsley. One made it a condition of his staying That the Board secure to the Seminary the privacy becoming a female boarding school. (He objected to members of the con- gregation walking through the yard!) In addition to this list of principals, there was one supervisor for a short while in 1856 whose name interests us. Dr. Wilson, member of the Board and minister at Presby- terian church, where his son, Thomas Woodrow was baptized the next year. Even more vexing than the problem of securing leadership was that of financing a growing child. The first building unit had proved al- most immediately inadequate, and two wings had been added. But paying for them was difficult; in fact, this had to be managed finally by the personal notes of several of the Board members. The settling of this debt was a long and troublesome process. The faithful fifteen met often and transacted much, all of it important, although the appointing of a committee to inquire into the exped- iency of raising a fund to procure a chemical and philosophical apparatus may sound a trifle mysterious to us. Times grew more, not less crucial. Above all else during the later fifties loomed the coming cataclysm though there are no references to it in the Board min- utes. If one may say so, the Civil War certainly came at a had time for Augusta Female Seminary, in 1862 it looked to be one of the first war casualties. Mr. Tinsley, whose success for a number f years was apparently satisfactory to him, he having a number of boarders, and many da) scholars, in 1863 faced a situation that to him seemed insur- mountable. The number of pupils was reduced, the places of boarders being filled by refugees from places in the vi- cinity of the contending armies. Vir- ginia Female Institute and Wesleyan Female Institute had both been suspend- ed and their buildings turned into hos- pitals. Across the street from the broad green Yard stood the arsenal, where ammunition and sev- eral cannon were kept, guarded by soldiers. The Sem- inary building was almost unfurnished, and it was impossible to secure furniture. All the schools in Staunton and in fact many schools in Virginia and the far South had been closed. War left little money for education, and travel was both difficult and dangerous. What was going to become of Mr. Bailey ' s experi- ment ? ■ a a • ■ ST a w r male Vminirv. o ADMINISTRATION and FACULTY LEWIS WILSON JARMAN PRESIDENT ANNA INEZ MORTON DEAN OF THE COLLEGE MARTHA STACKHOUSE GRAFTON ASSISTANT TO THE PRESIDENT DEAN OF INSTRUCTION HERBERT LEE BRIDGES, JR.

BOOK TWO REVIEWING AND CLASSES -3 £_ EIGHTEEH SIXTY HYD lo EIGHTEEN EIGHTY TYTD II ILL TOP HISTORY OF THE SECOND TWENTY YEARS, 1862-1882 Miss Agnes McO i hc IN THE summer of 1863 Mr. Joseph A. Waddell had an idea the inspired nature of which was not wholly apparent until later. He, as secretary of the Board of Trustees, asked Miss Mary Julia Baldwin and her friend, his sister-in-law, Miss Agnes McClung to take charge of Augusta Female Seminary; in fact, he demand- ed. Whether they were ig- norant of the great difficulties, or whether they were simply stimulated by them, we do not know , but it is possible that the gentleman felt a little guilty in thrusting them into such an ordeal. At any rate, he wrote in his history No man would or could have Started under such circum- stances. And after their ap- pointment every page breathes a sign of comfort and relief. From the time Miss Baldwin took charge of the school, meetings of the Trustees were seldom held, except to fill vacancies in the Hoard caused l v death or removal. Although the two women were appointed as equals, Miss Baldwin was recognized fr the beginning as head, .Miss McClung ' s field being that of matron. I It is clear, however, from letters of commendation published in catalogue that she was widely admired and respected.) There is little to find out about the antecedents or early history of this thirty-four year old second founder. An orphan in a locally prominent family. she was brought up by her maternal grandparents and educated at the Seminary. Her chief interest there- after was teaching, and she was known in the com- munity for her goodness, her ability, and her charm, which quite overcame the physical defect of a par- tially paralyzed face. She had for some time, since receiving a small legacy, been considering the estab- lishment of a charity school. In this she had counted on the help of Miss McClung, older than she and evidently an inspiring friend as well as expert house- keeper. Expert housekeeping and finance- juggling were needed by the new Co-Principals. When the session opened on ( ictober 1. 1863, twenty -two boarding pupils bad been enrolled and provided for by various shifts. Furniture and other equipment was borrowed here ami there from friends. But, alack not every girl could have a mirror! Tuition fees were paid in flour I $25 a barrel), bacon ($1 a pound), corn, meal, beef, po- tatoes, sorghum molasses, and wood. These were epic days, and there is enough material to beguile the hurried reviewer. Think of the fluc- tuating tides of battle, of Jackson in the Valley, of blue coats and gray! When the dread cry ' The Yankees ' went forth, down dropped every book and Mis Baldwin ' s Office - Bi Hill Top out rushed every girl. Woodpiles disappeared, flour barrels became dressing tables, hams were hidden in desks. Who would not like to see the little girl pertly saying to the Yankee officer What ' s you to be afraid of?, or the scene of dismay when the top In the sor- ghum barrel came off and the contents cascaded down the steps? A picture of frightened girls spreading their cots in Grandmother McClung ' s room — a pic- ture of girls in their best, if old clothes singing and playing, practicing up for the soirees always given our boys — soldiers in tarnished braids and buttons — these and many others flash to mind. But whatever the excitement of alarms and emer- gencies, or the concentration of obtaining daily bread, Miss Baldwin ' s main endeavor was the organization and development of a superior college. A plan of study was worked out under the supervision of Dr. William McGuffey at the University of Virginia, brother-in-law of Miss Eliza Howard, one of the new assistants. This plan not only provided for primary and intermediate grades, but also included a Univer- sity Course modeled on Virginia ' s, but adapted to the peculiar requisites of female education. In order to become a full graduate a pupil had to obtain certifi- cates of proficiency in the following studies, or schools : English Literature. History. Mental and Moral Science, Mathematics, Natural Science. ( hie Ancient Language, One Modern Language. It was pointed out in catalogues that the difficulty of obtain- ing all of these would limit the number of such grad- uates. However, the important thing is that the op- portunity for higher education was implicit in the scheme. Instruction in the accomplishments continued — music, drawing, and painting — with the rather em- phatic warning that once an accomplishment was taken up, it could not be dropped. The music de- partment especially increased in scope in the next de- cade. To her one original piano, Miss Baldwin added another during the war by a very successful coup; later the number increased to forty ( from the cele- brated factories of Mason and Hamlin, Steinway, etc), pianos and two organs. A separate music diploma was given for completing the course. An expanding curriculum demanded experiments, some of which undoubtedly brought misgivings to old- timers. Good reading being the most desirable of fe male accomplishments, Elocution was first offered and then required, no pains being spared in this de- partment. Frequent recitations and readings, in English and other languages are given by the pupils, in the presence of the school, but never before a pro- miscuous audience. But the most revolutionary step from the stand- point of the first fathers must have been the announce- ment in 1871 of Calisthenics, taught by Prof. V. Carr and Sister. It took, however. In the catalogue of 1873 its merits are proclaimed: In addition to the facilities afforded by the extensive grounds for out-of- door exercise, a suitable room for Calisthenics and a Bowling Alley offer every inducement for regular and healthful exercise indoors. This department, which is now considered so important an auxiliary in female education, is under the direction of an accomplished and judicious lad} - . Having weathered the war, having charted a course. Miss Baldwin now began a building program to care for the rapidly increasing student body (There were 216 students in 1873). In 1871 three buildings were added, Brick House, Sky High, Chapel Hall. This last one was the renovated and enlarged old Presbyterian church, whose congregation had built a new church across the street on property donated by Miss Baldwin. This building contains an elegant chapel, observatory, music and recitation rooms, gal- leries for fine arts and gymnastics, dining hall, laundry, and heated throughout with hot water. A few years later Judge Thompson ' s house and lot were acquired, the house being used as dormitory and later enlarged to its present form as Hill Top. Ri i in ion Rooms and Ari Gali n Miss Eliza Howard has been mentioned as one oi Miss Baldwin ' s assistants. Other well-known names begin to appear now. Miss Nannie L. Tate was the first full graduate of the Seminary under Miss Baldwin in 1866, and her sister Miss Mattie the sec ond in 1867. Miss Mattie was then made head of the Primary Department, but at her death a few years later, Miss Nannie took her place and remained there until her resignation in 1919. Miss Virginia M. Snick ler began to teach Latin in 1866 and continued till her resignation in 1916. Miss Ella C. Weimar, later assistant principal, began teaching English in 1873. Miss Charlotte Kemper. Mathematics and Latin teach- er, became famous later as a missionary to Brazil. These teachers and many others, the comfort and facilities of the physical plant, but above all. the di- rection and dynamism of the Principal help to account for the remarkable influx of students during the de- cade after the war. Not only the South, hut the West and the North begin to he represented, and even Liverpool, England! Miss Baldwin worked for all her charges, prayed for them, suffered for them. Because we know that she was a sensitive woman and very often found it hard to go on, particularly after the death of Miss McClung in 1880. Once, when it was suggested that she take a vacation she said No, loo many persons are benefited by my continuing here and I must remain. The tone which she desired for the group is clearly stated The public sentiment of this School discountenances all forwardness and dissimulation. Everything underhand is frowned down so completely that boarding school tricks are completely unknown here. She believed in recognition and reward not only of achievement hut also of effort. The list of Prizes, Awards, and Medals increased year by year, the latter splitting up later into Medals, Gold Medal-, and Star Medals. The deportment will he taken into consideration in awarding diplomas and prizes. There Main Building From New Sikh Brick I [ousi were Prizes for Neatness a nd ( rder, for Improvement in Spelling, Improvement in Letter- Writing, for tin Best Impromptu Letter, for Improvement in Calis- thenics. Perhaps the Prize of all the Prizes was one awarded To a little girl who has newer broken a rule of the school, nor missed a word in any recitation. Ah! Those were really the days, when hoarding- school misses knew no hoarding school tricks, when all any student wanted was a chance at a Prize for Improvement or Perfection. But stay! What is this 1 A pupil may under certain conditions he returned to her parents. And new rules appearing from time to time indicate some not entirely approved conduct on the part of the young models of propriety. Novel Reading is prohibited throughout the session. Had some waster been reading and weeping over The Sorrows of Werther ? The hour for retirement was moved up from 10:1111 to 9:30. Was this perhaps be cause of unseemly frolicings? Men callers other than fathers, brothers, uncles, or in exceptional cases cousins, were not admitted unless they bore a letter of introduction from the parent of the young lady on whom they wished to call. Having been admitted the) paid their call in the presence of the Principal or one of her associates. No letters were delivered which had not been examined by proper authority. All this sug- gests that those who never broke rules, who knew no tricks, were no more in the majority then than now. There were no details too trivial for thought and supervision. The Principal particularly requests that friends at home will not send large quantities of cake and confectionary to the pupils, experience having proved that health is often thereby injured. Such meticulous attention would have been unbearable if its purpose had been tyrann ical, but the larger pur- pose and impersonal devotion of Miss Baldwin made it as welcome as the sunshine to her large and happy family. And in that sunshine the decade of 1870 ended. SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS JUDITH HARR SUZANNE HUDS( N President Treasurer NANCY ADAIR GLADA MOSES Vice-Pr •sident Secretary DR.

EIDHTEEII EIGHTY TWO HIEETEEII HUIIDEED TOO THE ALUMNAE CLUB HOUSE HISTORY OF THE THIRD TWENTY YEARS, 1882-1902 Miss Ella C. eimar w, HEN Mary [Hank ' s parents decided to enter her as a student in Augusta Female Seminary for the session of 1882-1883, their choice was doubtless very much influenced by a letter of recommendation from the father of President Woodrow Wilson. Among other remarks contained in the letter, found in the catalogue for that year, was the following: I have never known such a school. It is as near perfection in my judgment, as it is possible for human wisdom to make it. Their natural predilection for the school, aroused by such praise, would only be enhanced by the know- ledge that Mary might spend the term of forty weeks at the Seminary as a Boarding Student pursuing the Full English Course, including Elocution, for $265.00. This Sum included the expenses for Board. Washing, Fuel, ( ias, Physician ' s Fee, Contingent Fee, Seat in Church, and Calisthenics. Charges for Books, Station- ery, Sheet Music, and Medicine, were extra, of course. At this time, the school had a large Music De- partment composed of three male and three female in- structors. There were thirty music rooms, thirty pianns, and two organs available on the campus. In- struction was offered in Voice, Piano. Organ, Guitar. Violin, and Harp, as well as in the Science of Music and Harmony. For an additional fee of $70.00, Mr. Blank might provide for Mary ' s education in instrumental or vocal music, and the use of a piano for an hour and a half daily. If. in addition to this, he should wish her to possess the accomplishment oi knowledge concerning Mis-, Martha I . Riddle 1.XX5-1919 one Ancient or Modern Language, she might be the beneficiary of all these advantages for $355.00 for the school year. What did Mary find when she arrived in Staunton? She found the Administration Building and Chapel Hall much as they are today, connected by the Back Gallery. A brick house stood where McClung now is. but it was not much more than one third the size of the present building. Memorial had not yet been erected. Hill Top stood as it does now, with its white- columned porch glistening in the sun; but the building did not extend so far back a-- ii does today. Sky High. too, was there, and the Infirmary. Academic did not exist. In its place was a long, low, one-story, wooden building extending from Market Street almost to the Tin Library Ix 1X92 I I ' .t TJ I. Memorial Hall— Built in 1 4: k I central walk that ascends the terraces of the i nner court. This building was used for class rooms. Then, there was another wooden structure, a two-story affair, that stood directly behind the Hack Gallery and ef- fectively cut out must of the view of the inner court. The front terraces were enclosed by a white paling fence. The lawns were embellished with circular flower beds. And, upon special occasions, the cast- iron fountains that flanked the steps leading to the Main Building from Frederick Street, would bubble water decorously into their two-tiered basins. Arriving at the Seminary on the first Wednesday in September, Mary knew that she was in for a long stay, for, with the exception of Christmas Day, she need expect no set holiday until she should be ready to leave the school again on the first Wednesday in June. This docs not mean that there were no other holidays, for we learn from the reminiscences of one of Mary ' s classmates that when the girls were fed-up The Library In 1942 with studying they sometimes formed in a line and marched to the office to ask that a holiday might be given them. Usually two quiet, studious girls were put at the head of the line as ' orators, ' and the request was generally granted. Mary was shown her room, a large one in Hill Top, which she occupied with four or five other girls. for rooms housing only two girls were practically un- known. Soon, she was busy unpacking her things and getting settled for the winter. She probably had not become very much excited over assembling her ward- robe for the year, for she soon learned that, aside from her even-day school clothes, she would need only three changes of costume. The first was a uniform suit to be worn on public occasions. According to the catalogue that she and her parents had industriously conned, This suit will consist of some black material, with hat and wrapping to correspond. The trimmings may be of any color that is preferred, but the hats an«l wrappings must be black. The second item to be unpacked was the Calis- thenics uniform. It was made of black bunting, the skirt shirred at the top and finished at the bottom with three box plaitings each three inches deep. To accom- pany this skirt was a loose blouse, fashioned so that Chapel In 1892 finishe it tht it might hang over the belt with a sailor collar. Next, wrapped in tissue paper, was the Soiree dress. Since extravagance in habiliment was neither encouraged nor desired by Miss Baldwin, and since she felt that expensive silks were out of place on school girls, the dress was a simple, white tarlatan. A Soiree was held on the average of once a month. Another of Mary ' s classmates, reminiscing about these Soirees writes, The night of a soiree was an exciting time with us. We usually wore white on such occas- ions, for no one was allowed to appear on- the stage- in colors. At a few minutes of eight the line was formed on the hack gallery and marched to chapel. We had to sit on long benches, termed by us ' circus benches, ' which were on each side of the stage. There we had to sit during the entire evening, with nothing to support our hacks, our eyes fixed on the stage, an. I listening to music we had heard practiced for months before. After the entertainment was over, we were allowed to talk for a few minutes to any of our friends who were present and then hurried to our rooms. It was not long before Mary became ac- customed to the routine of school life. The even tenor of her day was regulated by the sound of a bell. At six in the morning, the rising hell sounded. She had an hour in which to dress, hut punctually at seven she must appear in the dining room for break fast. Xo excuse for absence from break- fast was acceptable, except that of sickness. If she were tardy at any meal, she would get a number of demerits recorded against her name. Immediately after breakfast each morn- ing, the mail was distributed on the Back Gallery. An immense basket was brought from the ( (ffice, and one of the teachers or girls distributed the mail. The young ladies would sometimes climb on chairs or tables and push ami jostle each other in their efforts to get nearer that delightful basket. From hour to hour, as the bell recorded the passage of time, Mary went from occu- pation to occupation; from history to Eng- lish, from English to piano practise, from piano practice to Latin, from Latin to Cal- isthenics. And so the morning and the early afternoon passed away. Later in the afternoon, she had free time. Then, if it were absolutely necessary that she make some purchases, she would be allowed to isit a store on Main Street under the chap- eronage of a teacher. Xo young lady was allowed to visit a store alone. If. while- downtown, she behaved in a manner deem- ed unladylike by her chaperone. she acquired more de- merits. Should she be unable to find a valid pretext for visiting the business districts, she might occupy her time writing letters. Naturally, she was permitted to correspond only with those people specified by her parents. If Mary had visitors, they were supposed to call upon her during the free afternoon hours. Xo visitors were received during school and study hours, nor the visits of young gentlemen at any time, except at the discretion of the Principal. After supper, the bell rang again. At this tine, every pupil had to go to the Study Hall promptly and observe while there the same rules as in school hours. The next bell rang at 9:30 p. m. This was the signal for the young ladies to prepare for bed. By 10:00, the lights must be out. everyone in bed, and the house quiet. Although it was particularly requested that the friends at home would not send cake and confectionery to the pupils, boxes would arrive from time to time, and then there would be a feast, after lights were sup- Chapel Ix 1942 ' posed to be out. Of course, if the feasters were caught, a liberal number of demerits would be awarded the guilty participants. As a punishment for demerits, original- ly, the girls would be sent to the Office to l(i certain chores; but. as the school grew. the group to be disciplined was frequently too large to be accommodated in the Of- fice, and so they were sent to the library. Here they stayed of a Saturday morning from 9:00 until 12:00, busily writing out French and German verbs, memorizing sec- tions of Paradise Lost and Pilgrim ' s Prog- ress, or copying pages from Webster ' s Un- abridged Dictionary. This was known as going to Office. The year Mary first came to the Sem- inary, a new room had been fitted out as a library. Considered one of the chief attractions of the school, it was fitted up with comfort and taste. According to the current catalogue, Handsome book- cases, fil led with carefully selected books, comfortable chairs, pretty tables, pictures, etc., together with the bright southern exposure, combine to make the room a favorite place of resort for all who love reading. A cultivated lady presides to direct and preserve order. The foregoing gives some conception of the school and life therein during the eighteen-eighties. Added to the staff in 1889 were two new members whose names became closely identified with the late develop- ment of the school. In this year, Miss Ella Weimar was appointed Assistant Principal, and Mr. W. W. King Secretary and General Assistant. In 1893, the Alumnae Association was organized, with Miss Nannie L. Tate as President. A year later, the Y. W. C. A. came into being, with Miss Eleanor Preston as President. In 1895, the name of the school was changed by an act of Legislature from that of Augusta Female hi. Mail Baskei ordt to Seminary to Mary Baldwin Seminary accord tangible recognition to Miss Baldwin and her inestimable services to the school. Two years later, Miss Baldwin passed to her rest, in the sixty-eighth year of her age. Honored and respected by all. she left a memorable heritage of plain living and high thinking. One who knew her well wrote at the time, She was modest without timidity, tender without effusion, firm without severity, kind but true, her justice nice but discriminating and so tempered with mercy as to lose its sting. Her judgment was clear, her convictions strong, her faith firm . . . She was buried in Thornrose Cemetery in Staunton. By her will. Miss Baldwin bequeathed to the Seminary her personal estate, amounting to hardly less than a hun- dred thousand dollars. Miss Baldwin was succeeded as Principal by Miss Weimar, who, with Mr. King as Business Manager, continued the management of the school along the lines laid down by Miss Baldwin. The College Posi Of ADELAIDE M SWEEN President Student Government . Issociation THE STUDENT GOVERNMENT ASSOCIATION The Student Government system in Mary Baldwin College was instituted in the fall of 1929. The girls who were elected, in the spring of that year, to hold responsible offices were not totally unprepared for such, as a sense of responsibility had been instilled into every Mary Baldwin girl who was destined to assume responsibility then or ever, long before Student Government ever arrived. The Council of that first year did not find the insurmountable difficulty some had an- ticipated ; with the wise and generous cooperation of Dr. Jarman and Miss Pfohl I now Mrs. Edmund Campbell), the girls discovered that Student Government is only a cooperative effort for successful living in College in a spirit of mutual helpfulness and respect. In this phase of student life there is a type of team work — co- operation between student and faculty or admin- istration which was particularly important that first year. Such a spirit of helpful guidance and understanding from the administrative group of the College made the undertaking much easier. A particularly strong point in our organization is the attitude of cordial cooperation and sincere respect that exists between faculty, administra- tion, student council and students. The aim of the Mary Baldwin Student Gov- ernment is not merely to control discipline and regulations. Its most fundamental objective is concerned with the growth of the students. It endeavors to help each girl develop greater strength of character, nobler ideals, and higher Christian living. There is a spirit here th at is hard to find elsewhere — it is something intangible — this Mary Baldwin Spirit of love, loyalty, and fellowship — that was started years ago by Miss Baldwin herself and which every girl, by enrolling each year as a member of the Student ( rovernment Association helps to carry on. Our Student Government has advanced stead- ily and smoothly since its organization. The Association is now a member of the National Student Federation of America and the Southern Intercollegiate Association of Student Govern- ments.

It would be the greatest help in the world to you. These earnestly spoken words tell upon the ears of a number of girls and teachers gathered in the parlor of Augusta Female Seminary one evening in May, 1894. Mr. Willard Lyon, traveling sec- retary of the Student Volunteer Movement, was the speaker for that memorable evening — and so began the idea for the oldest organization on the Mary Baldwin campus. The formal organiza- tion took place on Sunday. Ictober 7. 1894, at which time a number of students, .Miss Baldwin, and several teachers were present. At that time the Y.W.C.A. began to take charge of almost every phase of college life outside the class room. Its influence immediately began to be felt and from The Mary Baldwin Souvenir of 1899, one learns that : The growth of this society both in numbers and interest has been most encouraging. Starting with but a few members, its rolls have lengthened until it now includes over half of the girls in the Seminary. So down through the years, this organization has grown and developed into the important religious organization on the campus. Now, every student upon entrance is encouraged to participate in the activities of the Y.W.C.A., and thus the school is united in Christian service. At the beginning of school, the Little Sister- Big Sister activities give the new ' students a feeling of welcome and sympathy. The vesper services held each Sunday evening through- out the year in the Chapel are started with a traditional Candlelight Vesper Service, the im- pressive recognition service for all students — as a symbol of this membership into the Y.W.C.A. Throughout the years since 1895 many activities have been planned, with emphasis each year upon the special needs of the College at that time. The work through the year 1941-1942 has included many activities in which numerous members of the student body have participated. Among these have been included such varied activities as: Saturday night parties in the gym, an exciting Hallowe ' en party, Friday afternoons with the blind girls at V.S. D.B., visits and parties at the Bettie Bickle Home, being Santa Claus to children at Christinas time, the World Fellowship discussion groups and Chapel programs, maintaining the cake store in the dormitories, book sales, devotional services in the dormitories each week and the traditional Easter Devotional Service the night before Spring Holidays, and finally a rummage sale as part of the Freshman-Sophomore Project. The climax of the busy and inspiring year ' s work in the Y.W.C.A. always comes in May at the vesper Installation Service, at which time the new cabinet members are installed. THE Y. W. C. A.

BETH TILLEY, JEAN OVENS, RUTH PETERS THE DRAMATIC CLUB OFFICERS RUTH PETERS President BETH TILLEY Vice-President JEAN OVENS Secretary-Treasurer The Dramatic Club, or The Green Masque as it was formerly called, was founded in 1931 with the speech teacher as sponsor. The purpose of the club has always been to teach its members the appreciation of the various forms of dramatic art and to provide, in addition, some entertainment. The activity of the club has varied with the years, but there have always been monthly meetings, at which monologues, play reviews and readings are the usual forms of amusement. Recently the project has been to give two major plays in the year, one in the fall and one in the spring. In the fall of this year the Dramatic Club presented the play, Ladies in Retirement, by Percy and Denham, and in the spring The Comedy of Errors by Shakespeare, both of which were very successful productions. The Dramatic Club is deeply indebted to Dr. Mary Latimer, who is its able sponsor and the director of its plays.

Its value, however, was not realized, and for a number of years it continued to function in near oblivion, until in 1934 it again merited a page in the Bluestocking among the mine important activities of the college, a position which it has since held constantly. Begun originally as a society for the purpose of ' ' increasing the student ' s knowledge of art and appreciation of paintings, it has grown into an organization in which every member participates actively. Among the variety of features offered during the year are the Art trips sponsored by the club which are offered each semester to one of the major galleries of exhibits in New York, Washington, or Richmond. Several speakers come to the college to speak on different phases of Art during the year. This year, the addition to our campus of a new Art Building has made more extensive work possible. Exhibits of artists from various parts of the country are on display constantly, and are open to the school and to the public. Due to these extra new features, the Art Club has enjoyed great activity in this, its 26th year.

Although the club formerly consisted of two definite groups of members — active and inactive, regular meetings are now com- posed of active members. Students give reports on famous musicians and trends in musical literature. Two of the most important projects of the Music Club are the record hours and the brief programs given by faculty members or students of the Music Department. Aside from sponsoring at least one concert a year, the Music Club always looks forward to the annual spring party at Mr. Rroman ' s home.

Today the Glee Club is the largest and one of the most outstanding clubs on the campus. The varied program includes concerts with the neighboring col- leges and universities. This season was highlighted by two important programs — the first of which was a concert with the Harvard University Symphony Orchestra under the direction of Mr. Malcolm Holmes and featuring The Blessed Damozel by Claude Debussy. The second concert was the rendition of the Requiem Mass by Mozart with the combined Glee Clubs of Hampden-Sydney and Mary Baldwin. This cantata was given in Staunton as well as Richmond under the supervision and direction of Mr. Carl Broman, head of the Music Departments in both colleges. Competitive trvouts for membership are open to every member of the Student Body.

Its purpose was for furthering an interest in current world affairs. It is a member of the International Relations Clubs sponsored by the Carnegie Endowment. Meetings are held once or twice a month. Usually an outside speaker leads the discussion group. The Club is composed of about thirty members. Membership is not limited, however, the club is made up mostly of majors and minors of History. This year several of the club members attended the State conference at Richmond. Emma Jane Hagan of Suffolk, Virginia, presented a paper on Fas- cism Penetration in Latin America. Later, she w-as elected Vice-President of the State organization. A few other members have planned to represent the club at the Southeastern conference in Atlanta, Georgia. Others participated in the Forum discussion on Inter-American affairs at the University of irginia. The International Relations Club has an important role in college life at Mary Baldwin.

Before this time the Psychology Club was the only scientific club of any form. This organization consisted only of the psychology majors and minors. The club organized in 1937 was composed of all majors and minors in Chemistry, Biology, Physics, Mathematics, Astronomy, Psychology, Sociology, and all others interested in any of these fields. In 1940 the club was divided into the Natural and the Applied sciences with a vice-president over each. The other officers remained over the entire club. This division took place so as to make the programs presented at the club meetings ot more interest to everyone present.

Its purpose began as the study of flower arrangements and the cultivation of (lowers and plants. The club has grown a little more each year. At its meetings, there have been interesting talks on gardening, flower arrangements, and table decorations. At Christmas time the Garden Club has a large part in creating a festive atmosphere around the college. It is in charge of the Christmas tree that is placed in the Back Gallery as well as the Christmas table decorations. In the spring, during Garden Week, the club sponsors a trip to various gardens in Virginia. The last birthday parly of the session, given by the Garden Club, adds a final gala note to a successful year.

It was not until the administration of Miss Marianna Higgins that this honored group became organized as a club. Consisting only of granddaughters it met for purely social reasons but since then the club has taken many steps forward. In 1927 a similar club. The Little Sisters, was formed and for many years these organizations remained separate. P ut in 1939 they joined to make up the present group, which is under the sponsorship of Misses Abbie and Nancy McFarland.

Its purpose is to meet the particular needs of the day students, and to promote their participation in the various activities of the college. As well as broadening the interests of its mem- bers, the Day Student Club has also made possible a closer relationship and a better cooperation with the students on the campus. Meetings are held each month — alt ernating a business and a social meeting. In the fall, the club entertains the members of the faculty at a party. A Chapel program is presented in February and in May the club sponsors a tea for the senior girls of Robert E. Lee and Beverley Manor High Schools. MEMBERS Martha Alexander, Jean Anderson.

The first issue of our annual made its appearance in May, 1891, under the title of The Augusta Seminary Annual This book, which was edited by the English teacher, contained only literary articles. From 1892-1895 the annual made rapid strides. The title remained the same but pictures of the various buildings aroused more local interest. At this time the literary articles were written in German and French as well as English. When the name of the school was changed to Mary Baldwin Seminary, the title of the annual became The Annual of the Mary Baldwin Seminary, At this time students as editors made their debut. In 1899 the annual received a third title. The Mary Baldwin Souvenir, and it had the distinction of being the first annual with a stiff cover, regular photographs, THE STAFF JANE ABBOTT Assistant Business Manager RUTH PETERS Art Editor JANE COHRON Sports Editor LUCY BRYAN Class Editor BARBARA STEDMAN Club Editor MARY ADELE HEUBECK Snapshot Editor HARRIETT HARRINGTON Feature Editor LOUISE VANDIVIERE Senior Representative on Editorial .

Tin- name was changed to The Bluestocking in 1900, to Baldwins in 1901 and finally in 1902 it took The Bluestocking as a permanent title. Through the years The Bluestocking has won various honors in the National Scholastic Press Association and the Virginia Intercollegiate Press Association. Today The Bluestocking is the pleasure and respon- sibility of the Junior Class. This hook would not have beeen possible, however, without the invaluable aid and excellent guidance of Miss Fannie Strauss, our adviser. We are indebted to I )r. Mahler and Miss Mims for their interesting history of the College, to Mr. and Mrs. Day for supervision of the art work in the annual, and to Dr. Jarman for his sound advice. We are also grateful to the staff members and Edi- torial Advisory Committee for their excellent coopera- tion, patience, and helpful suggestions. So to the Class of 1942 we present the Centennial Edition of The Bluestocking with the hope that they may more fully appreciate the progress which has made Mary Baldwin what it is today. THE MISCELLANY MARION ELSDON Editor-in-Chief ADA BUTLER Biisiness Manager In considering the evolution of The Miscellany the fact that a publication cannot lie judged by its cover becomes evident. Although when first issued in 1899 it resembled a newspaper more than a literary magazine, the spirit which served as its impetus has endured. Since the beginning, The Miscellany ' s object has been to stimulate campus interest in student contributions or literature. In December, 1901 an issue appeared that marked the subtle transformation of The Miscellany into a maga- zine category. However, it was not divorced from news influence entirely; for personals were included common to current society sections. By February of 1904 the value of design was realized. A typical student was depicted on the cover. A scarlet tarn was drawn back of her pompadour. Today pen names are found in Tin- Miscellany ' s table ol contents. Yesterday the same was true. ' In March, 1906, a fictitious Joshuy ' Lisha Xebucadnesser Patrick Henry used her talent in negro dialect. Two years later an autobiographical account of a trip to West Point was published in The Miscellany because of its unique subject matter. A significant innovation of 1907 proved to be adver- tising. Hats trimmed with ostrich plumes were illus- trated and caught the eye before all else. Content during World War I dealt with knitting and sentiments. An alumna ' s letter was printed interpreting the Washington, 1). C. scene of 1917. In April, 1922 a humorous insert. The Spec Tater fixed its price at No criticism and revealed All the gossip fit to print.

By 1933 its character was wholly lit- erary. The time intervening did not lack highlights. n editors ' catastrophe occurred during 1924. The furnace man ignited their copy box erroneously. In 1930 streamlining replaced previous cleric-like captions Since the fall of 1936 other alterations have improved make-up and content of The Miscellany. A fashion commentary was introduced. Sandburg parodies, an article concerning an amateur hour, and musings on an amoeba are examples of sources of inspiration. These may be contrasted with the jokes and an essaj on 1 ' .aeon ' s style of the first decade. Military strife of World War II was the co-theme of the spring issue ' s fashion page of 1940. The first indi- cation of short story contest sponsorship also appeared, and book and play rex iew S. In ' 39 the magazine catered to the fad for quizzes. The World ' s Fair received due notice in one of the questions. At tins time pen and ink sketches commenced to replace lineoleum blocks for the frontispiece. Verse gained a place of prominence through demand This centennial year The Miscellany received the highest honor bestowed annually upon magazines of its classification by the Virginia Intercollegiate Press As- sociation and in 1938 it was the recipient of the A11- Anierican honor rating. And so The Miscellany has progressed by retaining hits of the past while adding the new. CAMPUS COMMENTS CATHERINE DEWEES Editor-in-Chief NANCY McWHORTER Business Manager On December 25, 1924, volume I, number 1 of the Campus Comments went to press. This issue was little larger than a bulletin and was published fortnightly by the students of Mary Baldwin College. From this date to the year 1930 when the paper reached its present newspaper size, the Campus Comments underwent vari- ous changes. In 192( , the paper was increased in size and was subsequently increased in length, but decreased in width. However, it was still more like a pamphlet, and contained no cuts , but an occasional cartoon or drawing by one of the students. Then in the year 1928, the paper was once more re- duced to its original size. But the next year saw a new change. This time Campus Comments reached tabloid size, and the following year saw the advent of the regu- lar size paper and the use of a few cuts. Since the fall of 1939, Or. Lillian Thomsen, Professor of Biology, has been taking pictures for use in the THE STAFF ALYCE FARENWALD Managing Editor MARY ADELE HEUBECK Feature Editor DOROTHY SHELTON Sports Editor MARTHA SPROUSE News Editor CAROLYN NORTON Circulation Manager CLARISSA SHEPHERD Art Editor REG1NA MINON Society Editor Campus Comments. This was her year of experimenta- tion, kit last year and this year has f ound her services much in demand, and now Campus Comments uses her pictures almost exclusively. Much of the credit for Campus Comments looking like a regular newspaper goes to Dr. Thomsen. It cannot go unmentioned that l)r. Mary Swan Carroll, staff adviser, has made her counsel and aid indispensible. Each vear, the paper endeavors to send delegates to both the ' National and State press conventions. In 1940, Campus Comments won high honor rating from the Associated Collegiate Press ; in 1938 it won first class honor rating, and in 1937, the paper was awarded the All-American rating. At the Virginia Intercollegiate Press Association conventions, Campus Comments has placed first twice and second place several times. Tin- goal of the Campus Comments and its staff is pei Eection, and each year sees an added improvement ali inn some line in order to attain this goal.

Since 1929, this little volume packed with important information has been in evidence. As the college progressed — so did the Handbook, and the traditional white and gold booklet plays now a vital part in the lives of all new students as well as being an important booklet of reference for all the classes. The Handbook has a message of welcome from the Student Government, Y.W.C.A., and Athletic Association presidents. It contains the rules of the Student Government Association, the program of the Y.W.C.A, and the year ' s calendar of the Athletic Association. Also found in the Handbook are school songs, tradi- tions and other matters relating to student life and activities at Mary Baldwin.

Mr. King as business manager and an Executive Committee of Five Trustees constituted the rest of the management. A notice sent to the patrons stated: No changes are possible and happily none are desir- able. The Trustees and Executors acting jointly must carry out Miss Baldwin ' s plans and contracts with the same splendid corps of officers, teachers, and em- ployees, and the same appliances as before. Another new building. Academic, was erected in 1907 at a cost of about $35,000, and other changes were made such as the substitution of hard wood floors in all buildings for the old matting-covered ones, and the building of a rock wall around the grounds instead of the old white picket fence. After Miss Weimar ' s resignation. Miss Marianna 1 ' . lliggins, teacher of English in the college since 1909 became Principal. At this lime the special course covering three years of college work was rec- ognized by the Virginia State Hoard of Education, and Mary Baldwin was placed on the list of accredited funior Colleges. In 1923, having established the four year course, Miss Higgins became Dean of the Col- lege, of which Rev. A. M. Fraser was made I ' resident. This was a period of quickening tempo, then, of transition from Seminary days to College days. It is one that seems much closer to us than the mere fact ol nearness in time can account for. Perhaps this is be cause we have a fuller record of the activities, not only in catalogues, but also in the school publications, Miscellany and Bluestocking. It is like a childhood which the present gen- eration can almost remember, not like a story I kioIs i if long ago. The pompadours, the ear muff ' s, the first bobs (The Cut-ups Club was formed in 1921), the middy blouses, the big sailor hats — all these look funny to Joe and Josie College, but they are associated, n not with older sisters, at least with mothers. Sports multiplied. To Swimming was added Basketball, although teams were not formed till 1916. Track and Tramping Clubs were formed in 1910 and Hocke in 1921. Organizations of all sorts were tried. Sorori- ties were discontinued in 1909, secret clubs l i Marianna I . Higgins r f {$0 vf f i m i ] - — i, u $ s WK r Spring Uniforms — 1912 The Firsi Class hw— 1912 M [ss Nannie Tate in 1916. But in 1911 class unity was stressed for the first time, and in the same year that the secret clubs were disbanded the History Club was formed — the first departmental one. One of the most famous clubs was Mr. King ' s Red-Heads which lasted as long as he was at the college. Social regulations became a shade less stringent. Christmas holiday was lengthened to a week. The five dollar limit on monthly allowances was abolished. Sunday afternoon reading was no longer restricted to religious literature. One of the most exciting features of social life was the Saturday evening Cotillions in which young ladies masqueraded as masculine es- corts. In 1912 the first Class Day Exercises were held, and three years later the first May Queen was elected. A picture showing the student body in their white uniforms marching across the V.S.D.B. held to see their first aeroplane flight is indicative of the meet- ing of the old nineteenth century with the new, highly mobile twentieth. Perhaps even more symbolic of the change of the times is that about 1915 Pompey and Caesar became Ham and lam. In 1915, of course, important things were begin- ning to happen across the Atlantic. World War 1 probably seems closer to us who begin to realize the size of the earth than it did to Americans then, who thought of Europe simply as over there. That is The Team— 1904 not to say that life at Mary Baldwin was not affected by it after the United States entered in 1918. There were Liberty Loan Parades and patriotic pageants. There were special menus planned by the Domestic Science Department sugarless, meatless and wheat- less meals served to the Board. The department es- tablished such a high record of participation in the government program that all its students were pre- sented with special badges by Mr. Herbert Hoover. But undoubtedly the thing that most dramatized the war for Mary Baldwin must have been the fact of a personal interest in the war president. The big- gest event in the decade before America ' s entry to the war had been Mr. Wilson ' s visit to Staunton in December, 1912. The town was decorated, people came from miles around to see and hear, and thous- ands greeted him as he descended from the train. It was fitting that he should speak from the por- tico of the college. He recalled the trepidation with which he had mounted these steps as a University of Virginia student to call on his cousin, Miss Woodrow. But however excited everybody was over the visit of the president elect of the United States, no one at that time could realize the importance of this man in the twentieth century. Indeed, it was not perhaps un- til May 4, 1941, that he could be seen in real per- spective. Then, speaking at the dedication of Wil- son ' s Birthplace, Franklin I . Roosevelt, leader of the United States in a time of such tremendous world war as to dwarf the earlier one said: He taught that democracy could not survive in isolation. We applaud his judgment and his faith.

BOOK FIVE REVIEWING LSm£ (Ayf L ete t . e cf AND ATHLETICS ? 2 IIIEETEEII TWEIITY TT7D L IIIEETEEII FOUIY TYTO THE WILLIAM WAVT KING MEMORIAL GYMNASIUM AND AUDITORIUM T, HISTORY OF THE FIFTH TWENTY YEARS, 1922-1942 III-, wars 1922-1942 witnessed a pe- riod cf great change and growth for Mary Baldwin. When the school opened its doors for the session ' s work in the fall of l '  22, it was still a seminary, pre- sided over by Miss Marianna Higgins, the Principal; when it closed its doors in the spring of 1923, machinery had already been set in motion to establish Mary Baldwin as a standard, four-year college for women, and the Rev. A. M. Fraser had been elected as its first pres- ident. This change probably did not seem so sweeping to the people ol 1923 as it does to us, for since 1916. Mary Baldwin had been offering a Junior Col- lege course, recognized by the Virginia State Board of Education. In 1922, the original idea of the Board of Trustees was to establish a Mary Baldwin System. This was to be composed of two units: Mary Bald- win Seminary, and Mary Baldwin Col- lege. The Seminary was to continue its work as a preparatory school and was to occupy the property on Frederick and X ' ew Streets. Temporarily, the College was to occupy the same buildings as the Seminary; but, as soon as funds for new buildings could be raised, it was to move to a new 215 acre campus on the Lee Highway, a mile north of Staunton. However, conditions were such at the time that although a campaign was set in motion in 1925 to add substantially to the school ' s endowment so that the new College might be erected, money was not forth- coming in sufficiently great amounts to encourage the Board to begin building. As a result, the College which had come into active being in 1924 continued to be held in conjunction with the Seminary on the Seminary grounds. This arrangement continued until 1929 when the Board, learning that in order to gain full collegiate recognition the College and Seminary would have to be completely separated, and realizing that it was in no position to establish a separate college campus, re- Ax October Fourth Birthday Cake Dedication of The Woodrow Wilson Birthplace. May Fourth, 1941 luctantly decided to give up the seminary work of the school. Dating from May 29, 1929, Mary Baldwin College as a separate entity began its career. In 1929, Dr. L. Wilson Jarman was elected Presi- dent of the college, and a thorough reorganization of the institution was begun. Both the library and the laboratories were enlarged, and during the course of the next decade extensive changes were made in the personnel of the faculty. One might say the history of the school since 1929 has been one of growth in three directions: (1) development of a fuller student life and a greater degree of student autonomy. (2) increasingly high standards of scholarship, and (3) continued improvement of the physical plant. The matter of the development of a fuller student life and a greater student autonomy has many aspects. Dr L. Wilson Jarman — Governor James Pure First of all. a great number of the restrictions that had to be observed during the time that the Seminary and ( ollege were conducted on the campus were imme- diately lifted. And since that time there has been a slow but constant trend towards giving students more and mure freedom concerning their conduct, ever bear- ing in mind the axiom that a Mary Baldwin girl is always a lady. Second, during this period, main- new clubs have arisen and flourished. But the club which is probably the most popular is in reality not a club at all. It came into existence this way. Realizing the need of a place on the campus where students might congregate in free hours un- hampered by restrictions that must of necessity be enforced in academic buildings and dormitories, the Alumna- Association in the fall of 1931 established an Alumnae Club House with the idea of providing such a meeting place. Ever since its founding, it has been a tremendous success, and day-in, day-out. is the most popular student rendezvous on the campus. To un- derrate its significance in a history of the college would he a grave error. A third significant change was brought about in ' 2 { with the establishment of the Student Govern- ment Association. Under this system, the students, with the advice of a faculty committee, set up their own rules of college conduct and govern themselves. The years 1922-1942 have witnessed still further l iialiOiniKr,,!! Form Used for Mary Baldwin College Diploma intensification of that thorough quality of scholarship for which Mary Baldwin has always been known. One of the great incentives to scholarship is the foun- dation of pecuniary aids to deserving students. Known as Scholarships, eleven of these aids have been estab- lished during the last twenty years. To encourage better study habits, the system of publishing Honors Lists was begun in 1931. The stu- dent who finds herself on the Honors List for any semester finds that she has earned a double reward. Mr. James Francis, Dr. L. W. Jakman, Dean Morton, Governor Price Laying The Cornerstone of The William Wayi Kim, and Auditorium, October 4, 1941 U. ( i M NASIUM for not only is her industry and ability publicly recog- nized but she is also accorded special academic and social privileges. In addition to this, Mary Baldwin has an Honor Society, established in 1932, whose pur- pose is to encourage outstanding excellence in scholar- ship. Its members are chosen on much the same basis that Phi Beta Kappa members are chosen in other schools. In the field of national education, Mary Baldwin has received many marks of recognition, as when in 1931, it became a member of the Association of Col- leges and Secondary Schools of the Southern States. and later when it was approved by the Association of American Universities, and when it received recogni- tion by the American Association of University Women. Every one who visits Mary Baldwin is always struck by the meticulous care with which the grounds and buildings are kept. Indeed, one soon comes to look upon perfect care of its physical plant as a Mary Baldwin tradition. And this physical plant has con- tinued to grow from year to year. In 1935, Martha Riddle and Fraser dormitories were added. In 1937, a separate building devoted to science classrooms and laboratories was opened. In the same year, the library, which has been in a constant state of growth, was en- larged to its present size. Today (May, 1942), it oc- cupies three large rooms besides a catalogue hall, an office, and a magazine room and contains a collection of over 27,000 volumes, among which there is remark- ably little dead lumber. Students returning to Staunton in the fall of l ' Ml found both the Music and Art Departments housed in new homes. The Music Department is now installed The Academic Procession -3T T, Founders ' Day, in spacious quarters across New Street from Memor- ial, where it finds adequate classrooms, studios, and practise rooms. The Art Department has moved into a house on the south-west corner of Frederick and Market Streets that has been entirely renovated with the purpose of making it a most usable studio and class work-shop. Without a doubt, the highwater mark of 1941 in the matter of additions to Mary Baldwin ' s physical plant was the laying of the corner-stone of the illiam Wavt King Memorial Gymnasium. This occurred on Miss Baldwin ' s Birthday in October. Governor Price of Virginia laid the stone. At present, the work on the $150,000 building is progressing favorably, and it is hoped that the building will he ready for use in the fall of 1942.

It ' ll, il: . Issn- Hill:. II Tradition demands that the .Mary Baldwin girl be a good sport. From the days when the black flannel suit of the 1890 ' s was proper wear for fancy steps and swinging of Indian chilis which were done to music, to the present red and blue suit of the modern dancers, physical education has been an active part of the school curriculum. With the trend of physical training leaning more and more toward informal education, Mary Baldwin progressed too. and the turtle-neck sweater and long baggy bloomers were suitable wear for the activeness of the basketball player of 1904. Golf and tennis were popular sports in the estimation of the sailor-clad girl of 1913 to 1916. Clubs were formed and participation in these sports encouraged. With the organization of the Athletic Associa- tion in 1919, sports life at Mary Baldwin had added meaning, as then every student in the school was a member of tin- Association, and each member had her part in making the organi- zation a success. Mary Baldwin girls were divided into yellow and white teams which were contestants for trophies in five major sports including basketball and hockey. In 1922 The Athletic Spirit was published semi- monthly by the Athletic Association. Its object was to sum up the activities and accomplishments of the Association. In later years the division of the school into yellow and white teams was discontinued, and a leader was elected for each of the major sports and most of the minor sports. In this way con- centration on each sport was insured. As Mary Baldwin was active in other wars, she is active in this World War Number II. A pro- gram in keeping with the national scheme of pre- paredness was inaugurated, and every girl at Mary Baldwin was enlisted to serve her country and herself by keeping physically as well as mentally fit. The former program of the Athletic- Association was restated with added meaning, new emphasis and a more thorough concentra- tion on healthful living. It is the hope and aspiration of the Athletic Association that not only has each Mary Baldwin girl benefited physically but that the college life of every girl has been enriched by her partici- pation in the sports program sponsored by the Association. ±L ,.

In l ' Ml, awards, such as monograms, were given to the players; but still it was not considered one oi the outstanding activities as it is today. Until 1929, the Mary Baldwin girls wen- di- vided into two teams, the whites and yellows. ' I tese teams were opponents in other sports, also. The first class teams were funned in 1929, and since then the individual classes have competed fi ir the hockey championship. For almost thirteen years a varsity team has been chosen yearly by the athletic council or a special committee. The qualifications include skill, sportsmanship, and interest. This varsity has represented the college at Virginia Field Hocke) conventions, the first one being held at William and Mary College in 1929. This year the varsity team went to Westhampton ( ollege in Richmond.

As far back as 1902, the girls donned black bloomers, turtle-necked sweaters, and long black cot- ton stockings to enjoy their favorite indoor sport. About l ' X)6, two varsit teams, in addition to the class teams, were selected. These teams derived their names, yellows and whites from the school colors. Through the following years, middie blouses were substituted for the sweaters, training tables were formed, and in 1925. gold basketballs were awarded to members of both the yellow and white varsities. However, with these changes, from year to year, there came no change in the admirable spirit and the intense interest on the part of both faculty and students in the game. Basketball, with wild dashes to the Y.M.C.A., inter-class games, and the hilarious game at the end of the season with the faculty usually defeat ing the might} - seniors, will continue to be a favorite with the students. The varsity is chosen from the different class teams, and the requirements for selec- tion are sportsmanship and interest as well as playing ability. .Although the varsity is solely an honor, it is the ambition of all those who play basketball to be chosen as a member of this team. MINOR SOFTBALL Although softball has been classed as a minor sport, it has attracted a great number of the students through the years. The V 2U annual had pictures of the players on the diamond. A softball leader was chosen for the Athletic Council in 1935 to encourage the sport. It has been exceedingly popular on the school picnics. One of the outstanding annual events of the year is the student-faculty game in the fall. ARCHERY In the year 1910, archery was first introduced at Mary Baldwin. From that time until the present it has been one of the favorite sports on the campus. Archery is practically a year round sport with the ex- ception of two or three of the coldest winter months. The year is climaxed by the archery tournament in the spring. The winner of the contest is presented a trophy at the Athletic Association banquet which is held near the end of the school year. TENNIS The catalogue of Alary Bald- win Seminary in 1897 men- tions for the first time the tennis court as an induce- ment for regular and health- ful exercise. Tennis chilis were soon organized and membership increased rapidly. There were about fifty members in 1913, but the next year there was a roster of over one hundred mem- bers. The passing of vears has changed the tennis program and costume. There are no tennis clubs but interest is aroused by the spring and fall tournaments. There are now three tennis courts usually occupied by sun- tanned girls playing hard sets of tennis. GOLF Golf has been a popular sport here since the early days of the Seminary. At one time there was a nine-hole golf course on the athletic held. The Gypsy Hill Course and the Ingleside Course have furnished many happy hours for Man- Baldwin golfers. SPORTS POOL The first poo] table at Man- Baldwin was purchased in 1934. Situated beside the postoffice, it has attracted not only the stu- dents but is a favorite indoor sport of the members of the fac- ulty. The game is one which requires much skill. SWIMMING Swimming was introduced into the athletic program before 1900. There have been swim- ming classes held at the Y for the novice, free swimming peri- ods for the swimmers, life sav- ing classes for the advanced. We enjoy both the Y pool and our own small pool but we are eag- erly looking forward to the new pool in the William Wayt King gymnasium. PING PONG Ping-pong was introduced at Mary Baldwin in 1931. It was called Deck Tennis and was an exciting novelty. Its popularity has increased every year and the college now boasts several excel- lent ping-pong tables located on Upper Back Gallery where many participants spend enjoy- able hours. BOWLING Bowling has been a popular spent at Mary Baldwin for over ten years. In 1931 alleys at the Arcadia and at the Y were used. Class competition was keen and the then so-called sparrows and leadies were common terms used by skilled bowlers. This is especially popu- lar during examination time. MONOGRAM CLUB One of the highest awards achieved by the athletes of the college is an M. 1!. C. monogram. This is an honorary club for those who have proved their merit in a well-rounded life of col- lege athletics. The monograms are awarded at the Athletic Banquet in the spring to those who have attained 650 points. HORSE SHOW The Horse Show is the climax of the annual riding activities. The show features such classes as the Advance, the Intermediate, the Beginners, the Jump- ing, the Pair, and sometimes a Handy class. These are all open classes. Three ribbons are awarded in each class and the rider with the greatest number of points is awarded a cup and acclaimed the best rider of the show. These riders are judged on their ability to handle a horse and their seat. THE RIDING CLUB Riding was really introduced in 1931, although it was not a novelty at Mary Baldwin even then. The purpose was ti afford opportunity for cross-country rides and steeple-chasing. Through the years the Riding Club expanded ami students took part not only in the college riding activities but in nearby horse- manship events. In 1934, an honorary Riding Club was formed. The members had to pass a test to be admitted. Special annual features of the Riding Club are a picnic in the fall -the Horse Show and banquet in the spring.

At that first meeting they elected Miss Nannie Tate, president, Mrs. Elizabeth Andrew Hill, secretary and Mrs. Nellie Hotchkiss McCullough, historian. Correspond- ence was immediately begun with other living graduates and plans were soon made tor the first Reunion Day, tor a -constitution and by-laws and an alumna- scholarship. The second meeting, held in 1894, in the old three-bayed library was well attended and from that time the Alumna- Asso- ciation became a living organization. The general object of the Association was to promote feelings of friendship among the members and to foster a spirit of loyalty towards their Alma Mater. The yearly proceedings were published in a paper known as The Record which was the forerunner of the present News Letter. Two projects soon occupied the Alumna- Asso- ciation, one being the alumna- scholarship by which one pupil from Staunton or Augusta County might be educated each year, and the other a memorial window to Miss Baldwin. On May 24, l ' Wll. the beautiful window was ready for the unveiling in the chapel. It was an impres- sive ceremony and one of the most important days in the long history of the Alumnae Associa- tion. At the request of the alumna?, the window was presented to the trustees by Mr. Joseph A. Waddell and was received by the Reverend A. M. Eraser. Since that day, many generations of stu- dents have passed through the chapel and have gazed admiringly upon this window which has been truly a titling memorial to Miss Mary Julia Baldwin. The next two decades marked the steady growth of the Association. From its small begin- nings of thirty members it had increased until it had representatives from New York to Cali- fornia, south to Alabama and in many foreign countries. Alumna- chapters hail been organized in various cities and each had made its contribu- tion lo the general development of the association. When Mary Baldwin changed from a semi- nary to a college (1923-24) the influence and loyalty of the alumna- were keenly felt. Those transition years were dangerous ones and the alumnae can look with pride on the part they played in shaping Mary Baldwin into a class A college. The alumna- have felt at all times a deep inter- est in the progress and needs of the college. When it became obvious to both college officials and alumna- that attractive parlor space was needed for social activities, the alumnae, particu- larly the local ones, undertook the redecorating of the parlors and the results were the very lovely and gracious parlors which are in use today. In 1931 the alumna-, in cooperation with the college, began what has become one of their major projects, the Alumna- Club House. It has provided a much needed recreation house and has been a source of enjoyment for countless stu- dents and alumnae. Today the house, attractively paneled and decorated, is owned by the college and operated by the alumnae. From all points of view, it has been an outstanding success for both organizations. In the Red Parlor there hangs a picture of Mr. William W ' ayt King, for forty years business manager of Mary Baldwin and friend of all alumnae. This picture was given to the college by the alumna in 1935 and serves as a constant reminder of his spirit to all who pass that way. Today there are over 5,000 alumnae and there are 50 alumnae chapters scattered over the entire country. The strong loyalty and interest of the alumnae have been demonstrated by their gen- erous gifts to the William W ' ayt King Memorial Building which will stand as a lasting memorial to the alumna as well as to their beloved Mr. King. At the end of this first century, the college and the Alumna- Association stand side by side, working together in all things for the future wel- fare of Mary Baldwin. Her alumnae have done much to make her what she is today and with an ever increasing number of these loyal daughters. Mary Baldwin can face her second century serene and confident in their strength.

In face of the war cramp they have generously con- tributed to our New Century fund an d taken an active interest in the progress of the new gym. 1 want to express im- personal gratitude to them for then- cooperative spirit and friendliness — a friendliness which all their patrons know or should know. It has been a pleasure to know and deal with the business people represented herein. There have been many other sources of help to the editorial as well as to the business staff. They all have won our heart-felt appreciation. Miss Fannie whose name is almost synonomous with the Bluestocking among other things, generated the energy, counsel, and en- couragement so necessary for such a project as this. She helped us organize and see it through, especially over the rough spots. Mr. Glover, vice-president of the Lynchburg Engraving Co., was never far behind with his storehouse of necessary information and guidance. He is a real friend to the BLUESTOCKING. The men down at McClure ' s were inval- uable in the way of hints on printing. Xo one could have been a better partner in trade than Mr. Spillman, the school banker. With patience he helped and with humor he cheered me on. All of these are not only appreciated but form the spirit of the staff and the Blue- stocking itself. Mr. Chidnoff of New York, who did the individual pictures; Miss Ilickle and Mr. Chandler of Staunton, who did the feature and group pictures respectively arc to be congratulated for the photo- graphic work. In itself this work is te- dious and takes time. They not only did their part patiently and well but were very nice to work w ith. To unseen hands at the printers and engravers, to those who have spent time and money, to those who have shown in- terest go hearty thanks .... along with the hope that the readers will enjoy the book and accept the best wishes of the 1942 Bluestocking.
