FACULTY WHO'S WHO Little wonder that Seminary girls are high mindedf' Look at the faculty, twenty- eight of them with training from all over the United States and part of Europe. It is a truly representative group-upstairs, downstairs, in milady's parlor, the latter being re- served for the devotees of the fine arts. Among the teachers of high school subjects, Miss Emma, Miss Sharpe, Miss Martin, and Miss Nora Belle claim seniority with Mrs. Heath, who returned six years ago, insist- ing upon being ranked in this group in that during her first year out of college she taught at the Seminary, associated with those just listed, before the day of all others now on the facu'ty. Miss Emma, with training at the Sorbonne, sets a pace to which the others of this group add Goucher College, a Kentucky college, Pomona College, Johns Hopkins, a teachers' college in Philadelphia and one in Nebraska, the University of Nebraska, the University of California, Northwestern University, the University of Chicago, and nearer home our own University of Georgia, with Miss Emma and Miss Nora Belle having re- ceived their early training at Washington Seminary. Constituting the more recent members of the academic faculty are first Mrs. Olssen Q Miss Bessienj and then in order, Miss Davis, Mrs. Dumas, Madame Berry, Miss Schaeffer, Mrs. johns, Miss Jo Scott, and very recently Mrs. Stout. These teachers have for profes- s'onal background such colleges and universities as Columbia University, Cornell Uni- versity, Pennsylvania State College, the University of Georgia, Emory University, the University of North Carolina, George Peabody College for Teachers, Vanderbilt Uni- versity, Wesleyzin College, Alabama College, Judson College, University of Missouri, with Ecole Normale of Blois especially applicable to Madame Berry, LeCord0n-Bleu of Paris to Mrs. johns, and Draughon's to Miss Jo Scott. Among the fine arts faculty, Miss Butler is from the standpoint of seniority, by all odds dean. Adding to her native genius she has the most worthwhile of training-Chicago Art Institute, Cincinnati School of Design, work with Charles Hawthorne, William Chase, etc. Miss Battle's training in voice began with her imminent father, later study at the Institute of Musical Art in New York, with Luckstonc of New York, and with Morotte of Milan. Mrs. Scott adds to academic, piano and violin training at Cox College and Bessie Tift, individual study with Adler, Pilzer, and Block of New York and at Bush Conserva- tory and with Czerwonky of Chicago. Miss Eckford, a product of New England Con- servatory, adds piano study under Dumesnil and Schmitz of Paris. Mrs. Dobbs, whose career began under her mother, has studied with Haly of Boston, Rogers of Providence, Morgan of New York, and in the Hartford School of Fretted Instruments. Mrs. Barlow, a graduate of the Southwestern Conservatory in Dallas, has done intensive individual work on the piano with masters in this country and abroad, though she considers her greatest asset the fact that she is an authority on the Dunning system of music study. Miss Draper adds to an academic degree from Drury College, a graduate course at Curry School of Expression in Boston. In the grades and in the kindergarten are Mrs. Stewart, Miss Alice Downing, Miss Emily Matthews, Mrs. Davis, and in the very newest corner of the kindergarten Miss Scott Meador, under the direction of Mrs. Stout. The University of Tennessee, Ohio State Normal, Emory University, and the University of Georgia, on a base of training at Wash- ington Seminary for Miss Downing, Miss Mathews, and Miss Meador, constitute the professional background of the down-stairs teachers. Miss Ligon, as director of athletics, and Mrs. Fisher, as librarian, are upstairs, down- stairs, and all-around. Ward Belmont, Peabody, Vanderbilt, Emory, and the University of Georgia are the institutions which one or both have attended. Graduated by this faculty, under the direction of Mr. Scott, a representative alum- nus of Randolph-Macon College for Men, and Miss Emma,', a product of the Seminary and of the Sorbonne, Seminary girls are by rights high-mindedf, -Helen Clark.
