MAID OF ATHENS 1924- YP - 0: ATHENS COLLEGE— LOOKING BACKWARD AND FORWARD This is not intended to be a history of Athens College, which dates its corporate existence back to January 9, 1843. At this date the Legislature of Alabama granted a charter to certain trustees to establish and maintain a Fe- male Institute of the Tennessee Annual Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, located at Athens, Alabama. This was one year before the division of the Methodist Church. It was two years before the organization of the Methodist Episcopal Church. South, and twenty-seven years before the organization of the North Alabama Con- ference, to which belongs the Female Institute ' now grown to be an ' .A Grade college. There has been much history since that eventful day 8 I years ago. The War Between the States has been fought. The great issues, economic and social, that caused that fratricidal conflict have been settled. The bitterness engenderd by that awful struggle has passed away. The Spanish-American War and the World War have been fought. In each of these Alabama played no insignificant part. They have left their impress upon the life and character of our citizenship. The commonwealth from being an almost exclusively agri- cultural state, has become one of the great manufacturing states of the union. In the midst of these great changes, Athens College has not been un- affected. It, like the nation and the state has had its history. But simply to detail its history would be to compile a lot of more or less dry statistics, that would prove of little interest to the general reader, and would be for- gotten almost as soon as read. What is intended is rather by a backward glance to get some conception of the spirit and purpose of its founders; and to ascertain if that spirit still exists, and if that purpose is still being carried out. The evident purpose of the founders was to build up the character of the womanhood of the country by giving to them the advantage of the best education consistent with the ideals then prevailing, and to give that educa- tion under Christian teachers and amidst Christian influences. When the Institute was founded the field of womanly activities was cir- cumscribed. Outside of the Church and the school there was little demand and little opportunity for woman in business and professional life. Her sphere was limited largely to the home and the social life of the community in which she lived. Even in this limited circle there was much room for a well trained intellect, but the emphasis was placed not so much on scientific attainments as on accomplishments, such as music, art and elocution; and the cultivation of such graces as enabled a woman to make the home life and the a ■.■.r ejya?OSA .... MAID OF ATHENS 1924- ' ' -r sfcj ' j IE social circle a delight. It was recognized and stressed that these accomplish- ments were tremendously enhanced in value when they were permeated through and through with the spirit of the Divine Master. Hence, mental training and religious thinking and living were to go hand in hand. In the election of the various Presidents who have been at the head of the College from its inception, and in the selection of the Faculties from time to time, scholarship and the ability to teach have been necessary qualifica- tions, but over and above these Christian character has been a sine qua non. Indeed, so far as the Presidents have been concerned, scholarship and training in school work have not been insisted upon the same earnestness as has been the ability to impress Christian ideals upon the students. From the sainted Dr. Rivers the first President, in whom both scholarship and Christian character were combined in a marked degree, until the present time, the College has been fortunate in the selection of men and women for the Presidency who have been conspicuous for consecration and Christian leadership. If this writer were to go into historical details and recount the financial sacrifices made by many of these servants of God, the reader would be amazed at their heroism and be convinced that not on mission fields alone, nor in the hardsh ps of a pioneer m nistry, do we find that complete surrender to Christ which so many of us admire but which so few of us are willing to emulate. More than two or three have assumed the Presidency of Athens College, not from hope of financial reward, but because they believed this to be a chosen field in which to serve the Master. One President reported at the end of the year that while the teachers had been paid in full he had not paid himself a single dollar. Another, who took some funds with him when he assumed the Presidency, did not quit until no t only his time and energy had been given but his last dollar had been exhausted. I know no greater record of self immolation and heroic service than is found in the historical documents of Athens College. It is no wonder that under the influence of such a spirit in the leaders of College, from its halls have come women by the hundreds who have been recognized as the best examples of refined, cultured and graceful womanhood. They have made many parsonage homes happy and have con- tributed to the success of their preacher husbands. They have carried the ideals of the institution into many school rooms and instilled them into the youth of Alabama and adjacent states. They have gone into the service of the Church by scores, and on mission fields, at home and abroad, have demon- strated the value of the training they received in Athens College. Despite the poverty of the school, its lack of physical equipment and sometimes of even physical comfort, for its students in the past, its record for genuine Christian education will compare most favorably with the work of colleges that have had all the money thought necessary to do their work. Some one,: ' once said that a college was Mark Hopkins on one end of a log and a student .■...- f- ?ate ia.j! .. _ -■-■■■-■ i J ' i W .U MA D O F ATHENS 92 |pa . ■ . ■ . ■V -Tr«a|-SBSe -TC: on the other end. The thought in this statement for many years was appli- cable to Athens College. The blessed thing is that in its long history it has had many 1 ke Mark Hopk ' ns. Perhaps the best proof of the value and work of Athens College is found in the town of Athens itself. Though just a small town with a population even now of only about 4,000, it has contributed to the public life of the commonwealth more leaders than any other town in the state of twice its size. For more than half a century it has been noted for the culture, refine- ment, prosperity and law abid ng character of its citizenship. Naturally Athens College has been its chief educational institution. A large percentage of the students have come from the homes of Athens or nearby communities. The graduates have gone back to these homes, and in many instances have be- come the mistresses of Athens homes. In these homes they have been the inspiration and foundation of those virtues that has made the little City one of the most dflightTul communities in all the land. It is true that the college has confined its educational work to women. But some one has ascer- tained that 90 ' r of the graduates become wives and mothers. If it be true, as it doubtless is, that every great man had a great mother it is easy to account for the character of the City of Athens. Now that we have taken our look backward, let us take a passing glance at the present. The one building in which the work began has been enlarged to twice its capacity. It has been remodeled, particularly on the inside. The first impression which one gets when he sees the classical outlines of the building with its imposing columns is enhanced when he enters the beauti- ful and commodious students parlor. All that refined taste can do to make it attractive has been done. Upon its walls hang many portraits of former Presidents and deceased Trustees. In this building is located the library, the President ' s office and numerous class rooms, while the dining room is just across an interior gallery. Then, there is the Music Hall with its unexcelled chapel, splendidly adapted to the work which its name implies. Here are numerous practice rooms, each tqu ' pped with its own instrument. Brown Hall, named for one of the most loved teachers, is used exclusively for dormi- tory purposes except that its comfortable basement is fitted up for indoor amusements. Within the last five or six years the swimming pool and gym- nasium have been completed, and now the magnificent new dormitory is under course of construction and will be ready for occupancy by the opening of the next session. This latest addition to the buildings when furnished will cost $80,000. The heating plant in a separate build ' ng furnishes heat wherever it is needed. Laboratory and library are well equipped. Athens College to- day is prepared to look after the comfort of its students and to do the school- astic work required by the highest grade college as well as any institution of learning in the land. It has not aspired to be great in size nor in the number ]t?g of its studfnts. It rather seeks to do well its work among the number of the smaller colleges, which as the late President Harding said, are the most i j MA D OF ATHENS 1924- [ potential force for the development of the republic. It wishes to be large enough to render the best service to Church and state, and small enough to prevent the individual girl from being lost in the mass and so deprived of the personal touch of the President and Faculty. What of the future? The divinely inspired prophet of old spake as the Lord spake to him. The modern prophet can only reason from the experi- ences of the past, and the facts that confront him in the present. This is a new day for woman. Opportunities for service are found in business, professional and industrial life that were undreamed of a genera- tion ago. With these opportunities have come obligations which the modern woman cannot shirk. No longer are her activities confined to the home, the Church, the school. Woman must take her place side by side with man in all the relationships of life. Public life calls her. Professional life calls her. Business life calls her. These changed conditions require a different kind of preparation. She must be not only accomplished, she must be practically and technically educated. In short, she must have the same mental devel- opment and the same kind of training that her brothers have received through all the past. She must be trained to be the executive officer for big busi- ness. She must be trained in statesmanship. She must be ready to fill any place in our complex civilization. The questions are now asked, Can woman thus be trained for a service as broad as that service which has heretofore been rendered by man alone and not lose those charms and graces so characteristic of our mothers? Can she do a man ' s work without becoming masculine? Can she stand on man ' s level, participating in his virtues and yet avoiding his vices? From some colleges for women the answer is in the negative. It is reported that in some institutions cigarette smoking and the drinking of illicit liquors is indulged in, not by the exceptional student, but almost as a matter of course; and that in some instances members of the faculty not only condone these practices, but actually encourage them. But from Athens comes the affirma- tive answer and there is no reason to doubt it. From its halls still come the same consecrated Christian women. The curriculum has been expanded to meet the needs of modern times, but the same care is and always will be taken to maintain the refined Christian atmosphere that has obtained from the beginning, so that its students will be graduated polished after the simili- tude of a palace. It is still the basic ideal of Athens College to send out women equipped mentally for any place in life, but at the same time to send them with that spiritual equipment that will make them, wherever they may go, the salt that savors and the light that lights the world. With in- creased equipment, with sufficient appliances, with a thoroughly trained fac- ulty and with the Christian ideal always and increasingly emphasized Athens , College will mean relatively as much in this new age as it has meant in the former years of its glorious history. ' T-r ■;Tr MA D OF ATHENS 924 , «-f Ma KJ ' It must not be forgotten, however, that educational standards and re- quirements are being raised every year. This is true not only so far as the student is concerned, but is even more true of the school itself. Some of these standards, in the case of the college, are artificial. For instance, in order to be recognized as a standard college, laboratory equipment must have a certain monetary value, rather than a certain practical value. The library must hve a certain number of volumes, regardless of their value to the stu- dent. The endowment must be a certain sum of invested money, regardless of the willingness of consecrated and competent teachers to disregard standard salaries. However much we may depreciate these conditions, they seem to be unavoidable and the college must keep pace with the times. We believe that because of its proved value in the past and the present, its friends and particularly its alumnae will give it such loyal support that its usefulness will never be curtailed and its glory never dimned. Our prophecy is that future generations as well as those who have gone to rest, will continue to call its name Blessed. GEO. W.

Years passed and one by one there grew A hall, a room, a flight of stairs. Until at length a building new — Brown Hall, with many modern airs. More years, and o ' er the campus rings The silvery sound of happy notes; From Music Hall the violin sings And sweet, shrill strains from girlish throats. As time went on there grew apace The Heating Plant, the Swimming Pool, The Gym, where dwells strong Youth and Grace, For College and for Training School. Another building. New in name Flings wide its doors and summons all Who know of Athens College fame To enter in her classic halls.

Our youth is the time for dreams; The troubles we share, disappointments and care, But quicken our love, it seems; One College we know, and w herever we go, Our memory fondly strays. And friends we know well, in our hearts gladly dwell. In dreams of our Athens days. When long days have passed, we shall love most at last. To think of our College years; the pleasures we know. And the friends good and true, our dreams and our joys and tears. The love of A. C. like a rainbow w ill be. Which treasures of youth displays. And our College song will oft bear us along, To dream of our Athens days. Then, Athens, to thee we will ever loyal be. We ' ll follow thy precepts high, whatever we do We will to thee be true, in days of the bye-and-bye. The year twenty-four, we 11 recall more and more. As we travel life ' s hard ways. And as we look back down the far-shining track. We ' ll see Athens College days. WITHIN the HEDGE I Far off from men I built a fold for thetn; I fenced it round with gallant institutes, And biting laws to scare the beasts of prey, And prospered; till a rout of saucy boys Brake on us at our books, and marred our peace.

Sara Lester, holding out her arms to Lois Carter, said Hang on. HISTORICAL NOTE Betsy Rofs made an American flag out of her petticoat, but it must be explained to the younger generation that a petticoat is an undergarment women used to wear in the good old days of the Revolution. She (moonlight and all that rot) : Do you know what a dumb waiter is? He (same surroundings, of course) : Sure, a dumb waiter is an undevel- oped elevator for use in hotels, apart- ments, etc. She (still in the moonlight) : 1 should say not. It ' s a man w ho asks a girl for a kiss and waits for her to say Yes. ' Jet: ' Why didn ' t you drag George to the formal? Chew : Oh I broke the date when I saw how abominable his red hair looked with that cherry velvet of mine. It Mfas the bashful fresh ' s first date; he acted rather slow; What to do and what to say, it seems he didn t know . O, please don ' t keep standing up! said the co-ed fair. Whereupon the freshman answered, 1 only see one chair. ' This reply, it s sad but true, knocked the co-ed numb. But she answered, as she fainted: Great daylight! How dumb! Ena: Nella, why do you think Lib is old-fashioned? Nella: Because she thinks that the Whiz Bang is published by the Du- Pont Powder Company. Miss West: Where was the Decla- ration of Independence signed? Lillian (after 3 minutes delibera- tion): At the bottom. Listen, girls, to my advice, Take it in due season A fellow never stops his car Unless there is a reason. — Exchange. Lois: Will that new watch he gave you tell time? Irene: ' No, you have to look at it. ' Mrs. Nolen: ' As 1 passed the door last night, I saw Dr. Welch ' s face very close to yours. Mary Emma: : Yes, Mama, he ' s so nearsighted. Wont you come into my parlor? Said the spider to the fly. Parlor, nothin ' — getta flivver, Was our modern flys reply. Miss West: Clyde, will you de- cline the noun domus , please? Clyde: Yes, ma ' m, I ' m afraid I ' ll have to. Miss Jc; ner: Evelyn, was Brown- ing a pessimist? Evelyn: Er — no marn, er — he was a good man. ...f ejyaWi A iq[j A A £ OF ATHENS 1924- [ p- ■- ■ -ciB g l a ' a ■ i. i- - « ' f Krj - Under the mistletoe Clarice stepped. My heart was light, My head was pepped. We kissed, and her head Touched my head. Them s the berries, Was all she said. NEW SIGN NEEDED According to a contemp., a New York bachelor girl is starting a move- ment to have all married men iden- tified by tattoo marks, which is a step in the right direction. Black eyes have come to be too common to afford effective proof of a man s matrimonial status. Martha: We surely are going to be stiff when we leave school. Chick: Why? Martha: We eat so much starchy food here. SUPPRESSED DESIRES After giving a lengthy account of the Battle of Bull Run, Lucile Led- better concluded wi th the startling statement: So the Confederates won the Battle of Bay Rum. Miriam McCrary: I ' m right on the door of flunking. Prof. Jackson: Never mind, I ' ll pull you through. Why does Miss Garth like French so well? Miss Shepherd: Miss Graves, will you please give your memory verse. Nell: Barnabas, Barnabas where art thou? As a deadly silence reigned, Miss Graves decided some- thing was wrong and added, Yea, Lord, here am I. Why does Dr. Meadows white socks in his pocket? carry Prof. Jackson: The class will now name some of the lower species of animals, beginning with Miss Chad- wick. Elizabeth: Look here this picture makes me look like a monkey. I. D. : You should have thought about that before you had the pic- ture taken. Miss Petrie, in English Class: How old was Wordsworth when he was born? FAMOUS QUOTATIONS How Charming. Be Specific. Hey. How do you get that v fay? Is that perfectly clear? Don ' t get facetious. Its just so funny. ' Just a little matter of courtesy — because I want to be big. Young ladies! If we were going deeper into thts matter — ...f cjifVat Sf ... ■ ■ ■ - ' - - ' - - .
