It is a question of which is the more engrained in which-Queens in Dr. McEwen, or Doctor 'Mac' in Queens. lntriguingly enough, Doctor Mac is a past editor of the Queens annual. She was graduated from the college in 1922 with a bachelor of arts degree, and became a meme ber of the chemistry department two years later. Dr. Wfalker has described her as person who has con- tinued to grow . . . a person interested not only in her own growth but in the growth of those with whom she associates. With an alert and methodical mind, she continues to find new emphases and to rededicate herself to teaching genera- tions of Queens students. NVe, her students, speak affectionately and uncritically of her mild mania for organization and her bluff and blusterf' As a matter of course, she may be heard to ask as she enters a lab, Is everybody feasomzlily happy? A student tells the following story: TJ . Fair warning was given to her three biochemistry stu- dents to be on time for her 8:00 class. Doctor Mac empha- sized 8:00 011 the dot, and said that latecomers would miss the first part of her lecture. Shortly after this firm warning, all three of the students were late and walked in to class to find Doctor Mae lecturing to an empty classroom! 1-4.1- Y. Rv fl' 1 vi-1 'M A I.. .. Wav..-Q., --- l. g 'g '7' 2 Jr By virtue of her seniority on the Queens faculty, Dr. McEwen holds a revered position as Faculty Marshal. It is customary for her to lead all formal academic processions. Vllinning the Distinguished Teaching Award in 1960, she received a 52,000 scholarship grant. For the last two sum' mers, she was chosen to participate in a summer institute at Oak Ridge, Tennessee, on isotope technology. The institute was designed to help college professors better incorporate nuclear studies into their college programs. ln the past year, she was instrumental in helping Queens get an 58,000 gift for nuclear testing and counting equipment. There are many facets of her personality, llcr one uniniti- gated sin is a love of photography. She is fond of striking poses of children and unusual characters, and has won prizes for her studies of cats. But it is tenclzing that is veritably her life. XVe witness daily the acumen with which she confidently solves prob- lems and satisfies experiments. Wle mark the unbreakable spirit with which she is able to surmount all obstacles. Ykle are constantly aware of her fairness and understanding, and of her deep personal interest in her students and in Queens.
