a::;:. :v.re 100 YEARS WESLEYAN holds the unique distinc¬ tion of being the first educational center to give recognition to women in the grant¬ ing of academic degrees. It is in com¬ memoration of the centennial anniversary of the granting of the charter for this col¬ lege that we attempt to portray a few of the highlights in its one hundred years of history.

THE BIRTH OF THE WORLD ' S FIRST WOMAN ' S COLLEGE I I IGHER education for women is a comparatively modern development, not modern in the same sense that the radio and the aeroplane are modern, but because one century in the history of educa¬ tion is not a long time when we consider the many centuries that have seen progress in that field. In 1815, Mrs. Emma Willard, the founder of a female seminary at Troy, New York, published a plan for Improving Female Education. This plan was found by Duncan Campbell when he was a member of the Georgia State Legislature in 1825, and he was so impressed with the idea that he presented it in the Legislature. Campbell in his speeches emphasized the necessity for educating women in order to assist the progress of the state because they would be capable of contributing to the valuable store of literature, philosophy, and religion ' This proposal met with much opposi¬ tion and was not discussed in the Legislature again for ten years. However, the idea was all this time alive in the minds of thinking people, and, when Daniel Chandler, who was the son-in-law of Campbell, made the commencement address at the University of Georgia in 1834, he had for his subject “Female Education. This address was a great contribution to the movement, because those of the audience who favored it became more enthusiastic and those who opposed it became less prejudiced. In 1835, when Macon was about ten years old, a group of citizens began to discuss the founding of a girls seminary. Elijah Sinclair threw a figurative bomb into the meeting with the proposal that a college and not a seminary be founded. About this same time the members of the Georgia Method¬ ist Conference were considering the founding of a permanent institution for the education of wo- men. So the Macon citizens wrote to the conference suggesting that they should join their efforts, since both groups were working in the same direction, and the offer was accepted. In November of 1836, the matter of higher education for women was again brought before the Georgia Legislature and the request was made for a charter for the institution. When the fate of the charter hung in the balance after vigorous debates in the capitol, Alexander Stephens, then a young lawyer and later vice-president of the Confederacy, sprang to his feet and made an impromptu speech so stirring that the charter was approved. It was on December 23, 1836, that the Legislature granted a charter to The Georgia Fema e College. In 1843 the name was changed to Wesleyan Female Col¬ lege, and in 1919 it was changed again, this time to Wesleyan College. However due to unfavorable financial condition, brought on by the panic of 1837, trouhle with the Indians, and the strong feeling of pre,ud.ee which still existed against the project, the college was not opened until January 9 1839. The college buildings had been cotnpleted a, a cos, of $85,000 Thtl.SUd ' ‘h d . h7 tTn « W« of Macon and the village of Vineville. In 1833 doseh. chool Clinton.

A Female College ! Anomalous, absurd ! “The college has its enemies. In the beginning the very idea was denounced with a sneer and laughed at as farcical and ridiculous. Many persons periled the accuracy of their judg¬ ment and the soundness of their deductions on predictions of its failure ' Why should ladies linger amid the world of fashion and fans, hang enamoured over the color of silk, or pay their devo¬ tions to glittering trinkets, prefer the ornamental adjustment o{ a curl to the accessions of intelligence? ' ' The inexpressible pleasure of knowing what we did not know before: the consciousness of rising in the scale of being as our minds expand with knowledge; the light that springs up, illuminating every object and revealing beauties and harmonies where all was confusion and without interest before . . . these are some of the rewards which the pursuit of education presents. And shall such sources of unbounded interest and delight be shut from our daughters? Shall they be limited to sip bitter waters from the unsatisfying fountains of folly, if not of vice: while the pure, exhaustless, gushing fountains of knowledge are closed to their approach? ' ' —From articles and speeches of GEORGE FOSTER PIERCE. : WESLEYAN COLLEGE “AS WE CELEBRATE the chartering of our college, we take pride in the fact that in so doing we commemorate the establishment of the first of all the women s col¬ leges. We do honor now to those men and women of a hundred years ago who had the foresight to plan and to execute this noble deed; to those who presided over the early destinies of our institution; and to those who have enjoyed the blessings of its influence from those early days throughout the years. “As we turn our eyes back in thanksgiving and pride to the heroes and events of other times, we turn them, too, toward the future. We would prove our loyalty by dedicating ourselves to the unfinished task. What of Wesleyan of tomorrow? Of the years to come? Of even another century? Shall we not resolve, as our forefathers sought for those of their day the best that could be secured, that we also see to it that those of the coming days have always the best?—the best that the past can hand dowm, the best that the present and future can provide. “We gratefully honor the memory of those who lab¬ ored for our generation; in loyal devotion to their labors we also dedicate ourselves to the generation that now is and to those that are to come. 1030 TO 1900 GEORGE F.

' AS THE CANDID CAMER . “THIS YEAR MARKS the one-hundredth anniversary of the granting of Wesleyan s charter. The century that has elapsed since that memorable event is perhaps the most epochal in all history if we are to consider it from the standpoint of human achievement and progress. Wesleyan ' s part in bringing culture to the South during these hundred years is no small one. The conserva¬ tory of today is founded upon the ideals of those masters whose influence was just beginning to make itself felt when Wesleyan ' s doors were opened for the first time. The ashes of Beethoven and Schubert had been laid to rest but a short time before. Mendelssohn, Chopin, Liszt and Wagner were still in their twenties. Wes¬ leyan graduates had gone out to spread her message before Dvorak and Tschaikowsky were born. JOSEPH M. MAERZ President of the Conservatory “The conservatory, Wesleyan s college of fine arts, has grown up with many of the greatest figures in the history of the arts. Its aim now, as always, is to con¬ tinue the work started one hundred years ago and to do its part in furnishing the cause of art in the South¬ land. To this ideal do we of the faculty dedicate our¬ selves. ' —JOSEPH M. MAERZ. SEES THE FACULTY i • ! ■ SEES THE FACULTY HIGHLIGHTS — IH..| ■■■■ SOME ORICA fl L J ' k • - 15 - + c. w ' gS ' • k t 1 34 xm ■ Before Wesleyan opened, many intelligent people be¬ lieved that woman was incapable of learning. Even those wbo thought her capable felt it was foolish to educate a woman beyond the ability to read her Bible, to spin and weave for her family, to paint a daisy in water colors. On one occasion when Dr. Pierce was urging the claims of the college, a gentleman of large means and liberal views as to the education of his sons said: “No, I will not give you a penny for such a project! I would not have a wife from your female college. I could not so much as build a pig pen without her saying it was not done along mathematical lines! • The only time Wesleyan girls ever wore uniforms was in the very earliest years of the college. An old circular says of the uni¬ forms : For winter —a purple Cir¬ cassian or merino dress. with plain linen collar or dim¬ ity band; leghorn or straw bonnet, trimmed with dark striped ribbon. For summer a dress of white, with cape of the same material, or plain collar; bonnet trimmed with «ky blue. This uniform was required to lessen expenses and to prevent a desire for display. An alumna of the class of 1873 tells of how the girls were allowed twice a week to sit on the gallery in front of the college for a while after supper and watch the crowds pass. But before going out one must count how many girls were already out, and if there were as many as twenty-five, she had to wait until one came in because no more than that could go at one time. She tells also of the trains that were fashionable for graduation dresses. In order to learn how to walk on the stage in a train, the seniors practiced before the pres¬ ident, Dr. Myers, pinning newspapers to their school dresses. At least one Wesleyan girl brought her maid to school with her. It was said that President Bonnell objected strenuously at first, saying, It has never been done in the history of the college! But the young lady ' s father persuaded him to let colored Nellie stay with her mis¬ tress, sleeping on a cot in the dressing room. The little maid ' s duties after she came to college, however, consisted not so much in combing her m.stress s hair as ir. slipping out to buy pickles and candy for the four roommates. € One of Wesleyan s most famous traditions is that Sidney Lanier, the Southern poet, courted h is bride, Mary Day, in the Wesleyan parlors during the 1860 ' s when che and her family were refugees at the college. Lanier often entertained the college girls with his flute and once took part on a program, an Adelphean Exhibition in 1868. At that time he played a flute solo. Sacred Memories. Lanier s desk is now in the Georgia room of the college library, and several personal relics have been obtained for the historical collection. “Two military companies were formed by the girls called the Bonncli Blues for the president, and the Freeman Guards. The president ' s son, William, was captain of the Bonneil Blues, my company. We had dress parades, all arrayed in our paper hats with tassels and paper epaulets and did a wonderful amount of march¬ ing and drum heating. The teachers seemed to encourage our military 55 fervor in drills. Excit¬ ing war-like speeches were made and if in ridicule we never suspected it. Our uniforms were certainly works of art. Some ingenious person furnished us with hand¬ made wooden guns. We couldn ' t aspire to special dresses —we just wore the ones we had—mostly homespun and homemade—not much for looks, but great for wear. The uniforms consisted of heavy sashes, blue for the Bonneil Blues, and green for the Free¬ man Guards. Hats were made of paper, very showy styles, and fluff epaulets and stripes for the officers to set them apart from us m the ranks. “The little drum beater was quite a character, a little neigh¬ borhood boy having accepted this commission as his most serious duty in life. He looked like a little Chinese boy in his costume and he would beat early and late. “Up and down the rocky hills we would tramp in our homemade cowhide shoes. And twas well they were, for the experience ivould have spelled destruction to any other kind. At the least provocation they would an¬ nounce, ' Dress Parade! ' O “One special occasion in the spring-time near the time of the siege of Vicks¬ burg, we had what we called a ' Strawberry Festi¬ val, ' consisting of an after¬ noon of drilling and speech-making followed by serving strawberries. The day came and we were all arrayed in our finery awaiting nervously the command. Finally we were summoned, and what drills they gave us that day! Our serious countenances bespoke the fact that we were lighting for the right as well as to make a good impression on the guests watching us. We had so many manoeuverings and turnings and twistings, it seemed that they must have consulted a book for ways and meanings of exhibitions. “At last we were brought to a halt, red-faced and per¬ spiring, and heard the speaker of the occasion. His voice—I can hear ringing now: ' Surrender? Never! While these stern faces animate my soul, their formid¬ able weapons bring cheer to my heart! ' “I clutched my helpless wooden gun as I listened! “Even the teachers took it seriously. Following the speech we all assembled around a long table arranged under the trees upon which was an abundant spread of delicious strawberries. I started to say cake, but I do not recall cake on this occasion, as white flour was very scarce during the war, and we were only allowed it once a week—biscuit on Sunday morning. “When we had finished we received the com¬ mand to get in forma¬ tion, heard the orders, ' Shoulder Arms!— March! ' And as cere¬ moniously as we had come out, we marched back to the dormitory and the gala day was brought to a fitting close. Letter received by alumna secretary from Sallie Love Banks, class of 1866. During Sherman 5 march through Georgia, so many of the girls made a snoot, as they called making faces, that the president of the college had to place a guard around the walls to prevent their insults to the Yankees. • The girls were not allowed to have company during the school year which, of course, encouraged flirting from their windows. One girl waved a sheet from her window at what she thought was a Mercer boy, and later found out that it was a faculty member. There w as one girl in the class of 1878 who had flam- ing red hair, so all the girls tied their heads up in towels when they flirted from the window ' so that she would not be identified by some passing faculty member. Another Wesleyan girl once let a biscuit down on a string from her window which was over the side¬ walk, to a Mercer boy. When the faculty saw her and later ques¬ tioned her about it, she said that she w as only being hospitable, as she had been taught to be. From the time Wes¬ leyan opened until about 1898 there was a high wall around the college, and the young ladies went outside only for brief walks in the after¬ noons or to church, al¬ ways heavily chaper¬ oned. “We were almost forced to flirt in those one letter of an an alumna .ay., “I was a meek and retiring girl and yet even I jumped up on the brick wall one day and called to a man I had never seen be- fore, ‘Hello John! ' The dormitory rooms at Wesleyan in the early days w ' ere heated by open grates. One member of the class of 1862 recalled that the janitor walked dow ' n the halls each morning leaving a little bundle of light-wood ___ _ at each door. The four roommates took turns building Ares. The janitor also pumped water into a wooden container on each floor and from this the girls drew water for bathing. If hot water was desired, it was heated over the open fire in the bedroom. Each room had its own boiler. If she w ' ere in a hurry. Miss Wesleyanne borrowed her neighbor ' s boiler. There were no bathrooms. For every bath a tin tub had to be brought from a closet in the hall into the room. Catherine Brew ' er Benson, the first graduate, in writ¬ ing reminiscences of her college days, tells of a class in Euclid, wh ich was sent to one of the dormitory room, to atudy the hour before their recita¬ tion. Some other girl, were heating pipe stems in the open fire-place to curl their front hair, so the Euclid students spent the hour curling their hair, too. When they went to clas.. Dr. Ellison, after calling on .everal girl, who were unprepared, remarked, “Young ladies, if you had spent the hour in .tudying instead of making cork .crews, it would have been more profitable.” Old Aunt Cindy was a well- known character in the college for many years. She was ginger- cake color, and lived in the back (fl yard of the college in a little room where .he kept apples, pea¬ nut., and c andy for sale to the girls. (Fore-runner of “The Pharm.”) One of Aunt Cindy ' s duties was to go around at night after the lights were turned off from the central switch and remind each girl to turn off the gas in her room in case the central switch were turned on again. Another was to go about in the morning waking the girls, or “knocking up the halls as she called it. A self-ap¬ pointed task of Aunt Cindy ' s was to report every misde¬ meanor she saw—and she saw a great deal. “Do Dr. Bass know ' bout dat? she would ask. “Den I ' s sho ' ly gonna lead him to de light! quite harmlessly, and at dusk trooped back to the col¬ lege, feeling that they had been very wicked. Contrite, they appeared before Dr. Bass, the president, and asked his forgiveness, receiving ten demerits each m punish¬ ment. They always felt, however, that they were really brave and daring. A Mercer boy, much impressed with their boldness, sent a poem to each girl m the class tell¬ ing of the incident. It was entitled “The Fair Brigade and praised the “Noble One Hundred who “steadily, steadily, quietly onward—forth from the college hall . M crept. Poplin was stylish. Dresses were made with paroda waists, long sleeves, full skirts gathered around the w ' aist. All the dresses were to the ankles. At alumnae parties, some of the dresses had long trails and full skirts and others had low ' necks. I had one dress with three large loops in the back worn over a bustle. Another was a green poplin dress and another was a black and orange poplin, w ' lth which I wore a black velvet sailor, narrow brim w ' ith six-inch black and orange stripe rib¬ bon crushed around the crown and tied in a big bow at the back with the ends hanging down. I wore my hair crimped and hanging dow n, but the older girls wore the w ' aterfall, hair tied up, then brought over a cushion, combed up smooth and slick over the cushion. —MRS. MAMIE C. MORGAN. April Fool ' s Day in the eighties! Getting out of bed in the grey dawn, the girls slipped dow ' n the stairs, shoes in hand, and escaped through a break in the w ' all around the col¬ lege. Buying pickles and candy at a Vine- ville store, they spent the day in the w ' oods • “Uncle Johnson, another traditional Wesleyan char¬ acter, w as negro gardener for more than fifty years for the college. He carried the mail and the money deposit to the bank also. Often the girls w ' ould stop between classes and ask how he was. Always he jerked his hat from his head, bowed low, and replied: dat I means I ' s feelin ' thankful. “Ma health am in a state ob distica- tion mos ' compoun ' procific. Hit am mos ' superfluous, seeforendum, mos ' infrishus umph de way ob speakm ' ma ' am. Hit am in a political state. By missis. When he died in 192b, three of the college presidents under whom he had served attended his funeral and a fourth wired his deep regrets at his inability to be pres¬ ent. For many years every new ' girl w as taken to Zeigler s vault in the cemetery by the river. After she had been forced to look inside the vault, all the older girls would groan, giving the freshmen a bit of our “rat court.

Festivities lasted a whole week, and the college chapel was packed every night for musical and recitation programs, the reading of compositions, ’ and essays. ijj . t i Every girl in the senior class read an original composition over which she had struggled and wept tor weeks. A number of these documents, written in a painstaking, shaded hand and tied with yards and yards of white satin ribbon, have found their way into the historical collection of the college. They hear such weighty and important titles as: Comparison of Wisdom and Works of God and Man, Music. Poetry and Religion, The Thraldom of Girlhood to the World Proper. It took days to get through with them all, but the Macon public was patient and no girl Many medals and honors were given out at commencement, and places in the junior and sophomore classes were announced. These were given to the girls with highest averages, and heated was the competi tion between the two Societies for these honors! ... n Every graduate wore, pinned on her white ruffled dress, a long white satin rosette from which a satin streamer floated. On one ribbon was the motto: “Our sickles are wet with the dew, and on the other a printed list of the class. THERE ' S SOMETHING to this lucky star theory that Dr. Al- mand debunks so heartily after all. The Seniors of the Round Table of 1936 were born lucky. We were born in just the right year to grow up and one day come to Wesleyan in the centennial class. Graduat¬ ing in this year is the perfect climax to four perfect years at our beloved ‘‘Oldest and Best. (And besides we re graduating during leap year. Just another lucky break. Not that the entire Class of 36 had to wait for leap year. Why goodness no. Davis, Croushorn, Darby, Dickens, Cham¬ bers, and Hill weakened, married, and left despite the glories of a centennial and graduation.) Then we were lucky to have two such grand sister classes. When we were Freshmen and timidly requested Juniors to be our sisters, we knew that we had the cream of the crop. And now that we have grown up after the Wesleyan manner and have our own little sisters we realize that again Lady Luck has played fair. Even though we haven t won a flock of championships on the soccer field and basketball court, we ' ve bad the fun of it all, so we wouldn ' t even say we d been unlucky there. One thing we are sure of, and that is that we have been lucky to pro¬ vide such competent leadership for Wesleyan during this centennial year. Frances McCann has proved to be an admirable student leader. The“Y program directed by Virginia Bowers has been most successfully carried out. And, of course. Cookie has done her duty by the Athletic Association. We even notice that she has calmed down since those Fresh¬ man frolics she led, and has redirected that unbelievable amount of energy of hers. She --I honestly doesn t throw trash cans down steps any more, though we must admit she s never quite conquered the popcorn habit. We re proud of the class leadership we ve had, too. Garrett, Harris, Conner, and Bos¬ well have all done their best by the Green and Gold so that we ve managed to come through our four ever-so-exciting years on top. I 1 to the fact. And so, Wesleyan, We must brag a bit about our stunts. They re what we seem to do best. As rabbits and men of Mars and quintuplets we ve d one our part towards Wesleyan s stunt nights, two times winning first place in the contests. There s a saying we re rather fond of these days. You remember “Unlucky at cards, lucky at love —or something to that effect? Wes¬ leyan discourages any concentration on the former luck. And the say¬ ing has proved true enough. Doubtlessly you ' ve noticed the lovely soli¬ taires that are flashing on Senior fingers. (Just to justify their prev¬ alence we should explain that most of them were really acquired before leap year rolled around.) We hate to think that after four years of careful instruction we still cherish such plebeian weakness as superstition. It probably isn t the thing to do. But we can ' t avoid it. We arc lucky. Everything points we thank our lucky stars for you, and as we leave we say, in parting— “Here s luck! ' AMY C LECKLER. WESLEYAN IN 1885 THE LARGEST single gift of money Wesleyan Las ever received came from a Northern man on April 1, 1881. George I. Seney of Brooklyn, N. V., then gave $125,000 saying at the time: “If my friends of the North ask why I do not give this to my own people, say to them: these are my people. We are one people.” This contribution was used for the establish¬ ment of two academic chairs, for improvements and additions to the buildings.

On that floor most of the rooms accommodated four girls, although some single rooms held only two. There were no rugs on the floor, no dressers, except one which my sister had in her room. There were two double beds in the room and four chairs. Two wa rdrobes placed in one corner of each room formed a closet in which was a washstand with a bowl and pitcher. I remember mine had a broken mouth and I cut my hand while washing some huckleberries in it. All of the girls would buy or trade clothes for berries. “There was a fireplace in each room with a mirror above and we burned coal in the grates. Old Aunt Cindy woke us every morning and if we paid her or gave her clothes she made our fires. I remember I gave her a new balmore! which my father bought at the close of the war— black top and red and green striped bottom— two yards around.

All things must end—as must this record and our Sophomore year. We leave it with regret for its fun and with joy at its accomplishments. Two more years are before us to pile up more of the honors and fond memories which we now treasure. As we look forward to their challenge we can end this second chapter of our chronicle in no better or truer fashion than to borrow our closing sentence of last year—“and through it all the spirit of 38 will be riding high. —TIM TILLMAN. THE ELECTIVE SYSTEM in courses of study was adopted by the college in 1896, and the Acad¬ emy was separated from the College, a different faculty being elected for each. The Academy was discontinued in 1906. n t • Bev « ' MACON ABOUT 1900 WESLEYAN IN 1905 CIS MOORE cl, P ' ' 1 ' RUTH ALBION. t WlQ VIRGINIA ANDERSON . .

VJREETINGS from the youngest members of the oldest and best college in the world! Herein is an attempt to unfold the main facts of our history, although of course we can’t tell you some of the choicest things. After all, this is a history. In the beginning, when we were in the uncivilized stage, the sophomores made themselves o noxious for a hectic week. At first, they seemed very intent upon making us show our do- mesne qualities. Eventually, they truly led us astray. Into the woods we went one midnight in order to find one of their old dead friends. And, after all our trouble, we received for refresh¬ ments raw eggs and some grain product dipped in castor oil. fact sTvlJrtr P 7 de , in tKatwe never were a bit green-at least not ven- fact, several students wanted to buy sophomore books from us!

As if there were any question . . . ! After lots of grand parties in which the upperclassmen were able to demonstrate their talents, we had an opportunity to exhibit a portion of our skill. This occasion was Stunt Night. Our stunt was good, but unappreciated; still we proved a point or so. Then came the soccer games, another instance when Lady Luck deserted us. Just the same, all signs point to a glorious comeback next year. At this point, gentle reader, I shall disclose a few ' of the reasons why we have such a splendid class.

The dining room in its splendid red-and-white array bore signs of marked originality and strenuous physical effort. Natu¬ rally you have guessed it—the freshmen were in charge of decorations. The color scheme was a gentle reminder of our beloved junior sisters. _ Our history is just beginning.

The Adelphean Society was founded May 15, 1851, by the fol lowing girls: Eugenia lucker Fitzgerald, Octavia Andrew Rush, Maria J. Easterling. a y vans Glass, and Oceana L. Goodall. It later became the Alpha Delta Pi sorority. The Philomathean Society was founded January 4. 1852, by _ ar y Ann Dupont, Martha Bibb Hardaway and Mary E. Myrick. I his later became the Phi Mu Sorority. The societies played an important part in the social and scholastic life of the college in the early days. On alternate years t ey gave public Exhibitions at commencement, pro grams of music and recitation, and there was keen competition etween them. The historical museum contains many of these old programs; usually the Adelpheans had theirs printed in blue, their color, and the Philomatheans, in rose. In 1913 the sown ties were authorized not to initiate any new members, thus pro vidmg for their gradual death. THE PRESIDENTS ' COUNCIL is com- posed of the presidents of the three major organizations on campus, the editors of the publications and the four class presi¬ dents. Frances McCann, as president of the College Government Association this year, has been head of the council. Other members are Virginia Bowers, president of the Y. W. C. A.; Alice Cook, president of Athletic Board; Helen Pafford, editor of the Veterrof t; Hazel Birch, editor of the Watchtower; Amy Cleckler, editor of the Wesleyan; Emily Boswell, president of the senior class; Harriet Wright, presi¬ dent of the junior class; Tim Tillman, president of the sophomore class; Sara Smith, president of the freshman class; and Mary Ann Peacock, president of the debating council. The freshman reception is given an¬ nually by the Presidents ' Council in the early fall, to which the freshmen and the council invite young men. This is the first formal reception given for freshmen. Just before Christmas, 1935, the coun¬ cil sponsored an informal tea honoring the alumnae of Wesleyan who live in Macon, in order that the present student body may become better acquainted witb them.

OH y oj oy 00 { t n “TO WIN young women for Christ, to build them up in Christ, and to send them out for Christ ' With this purpose in mind the Y. W. C. A. of Wesleyan College was founded in 1897. Even in its infancy, the organiza¬ tion sought, even as it seeks today, not only to add spiritual depth to the life of the students but to increase opportunities for social pleasures as well. Membership in this early Y. W. C. A. was voluntary, and a program a little like the modern one was carried out. There were daily vesper services for members; Bible classes were conducted twice a week; and a class in the study of foreign mission work was conducted. It is inter¬ esting, too, to note the innovation in the first years of a . W. C. A. room used for reading by the students and of a small library for the girls—two customs adhered to today. From this splend id beginning has come the inspiration w’hich today has helped to make the Y. W. C. A. one of the three major campus organizations. Its mem¬ bership today includes the entire student body, and its influence is truly both real and spiritual. “Not by might nor by {tower f but by My Spirit, saith the Lord of Hosts.

Lucille McDonald and Alley Pendergrass are representatives from the senior class: Grace Freeman and Barbara Jones repre¬ sent the juniors, and Margaret Turner and Doris Everitt are sophomore representa¬ tives. Martha Ruth Livingston is the dar student representative. Anne Brooks and Caroline Smith have represented the fresh¬ men on Honor Council during the year. This year the association gave a tea at the beginning of the school year m honor of the freshmen, to which the students and faculty were invited. In the spnn? the outgoing members of Honor Council entertained the students and faculty mem bers with a tea honoring the incoming members of the council. The College Government Association also assisted the Athletic Association in equipping a recrea¬ tion room for the use of the students.

Meetings of the faculty were largely taken up with rulings on major and minor misdemeanors of the students, and women teachers roomed in the dormitories and kept order there. In 1912 the senior class, of which Miss Jennie Loyall, now’ alumnae secretary, was president, made a study of student governments of other schools and sub¬ mitted plans for a similar government at Wesleyan to the faculty. Members of the faculty regarded this step as extreme, but finally consented for the students to at¬ tempt the dangerous experiment. A con¬ stitution was drawn up, and in the spring of 1912 the first student governing body was inaugurated at Wesleyan. The name given the organization was the Student Government Association. The first presi¬ dent was Annie Sue Bonnell, now Mrs. Howard Pearce, of Brenau College, whose grandfather had been president of Wes¬ leyan during the Civil War. The association continued very success¬ fully with only minor changes in rules un¬ til 1934, w ' hen the constitution was rewrit¬ ten, the system of representation revised, and the student council given more free¬ dom in governing. The name of the stu¬ dent council was changed to Honor Coun¬ cil, and the association as a whole became known as the College Government Asso¬ ciation of Wesleyan College.

During the past year Helen Pafford was editor at the college and Ouida Carter at the conservatory Carol Anderson was elected business manager at the college and Martha Elliot at the conservatory, but she was later replaced by Mary Lois Hitch. Mary Kathryn Sineath was advertising manager and had as her assistants the three junior assist¬ ants on the staff; Martha Park Culpepper, Rose Peagler, and Clara Young. Ruth Jones has served as literary editor for the yearbook; Celetta Clarke as pictorial editor; and Lash Fowler as snapshot editor. This centennial edition has been an attempt to compare the Wesleyan of the past one hundred years with the Wesleyan of today. The staff ex¬ presses appreciation for all those whose assistance has made this annual possible, especially the alumnae secretaries and the college librarians. THE ADELPHEAN, 1899 HELEN PAFFORD Editor-in-Chief ft tj ft ff THE FIRST Wesleyan annual was ‘‘The Adel¬ phean, published in 1899 by the Adelphean So¬ ciety, a copy of which is in the college historical collection today. It is a tiny volume, nine inches wide and six inches high, bound in the Adelphean blue and white. There are a few pictures of the buildings, of the girls in sweeping skirts at study or playing tennis, of the Society in many ruffles and frills. But for the most part the annual is taken up with articles, poems and sketches. The history of the college is given, an article by the first president of the Adelpheans on The Society in the Fifties, com¬ parative articles on “The Joys and “The Shadows of college life. There is one poem by Harry Stillwell Edwards who is spoken of as “ our brother-in-law, and highly appreciated friend. The volume is dedicated to Mrs. J. B. Cobb, who was for many years a teacher of English literature at Wesleyan and was at one time lady principal. “The Adelphean ' was the gift to Wesleyan of Mrs. Loula Kendall Rogers, A.B., 1857, a member of the Society and for many years the oldest living alumna of Wesleyan. She died in June, 1931, within two months of her ninety-third birthday. The annual was later called The Philomathean, then The Zig Zag, and finally The Veterropt . . from the Latin words vctemmus ct ofitimus — Old¬ est and Best.

Katherine Wink served as business manager with Mildred Drake as assistant. Judy Purvis has been advertising man¬ ager with twelve assistants appointed by the staff. Virginia Scott, as circulation manager, was assisted by Mary Kather¬ ine Thornton and Marion Waxelbaum. The Watch tower staff sponsors a contest between classes each spring, the seniors and sophomores getting out one edi¬ tion and the juniors and freshmen the other. The judges (or the contest are chosen from Macon newspapermen. The newspaper has already had several special editions on holidays and plans are being made for a centennial edi¬ tion during commencement. HAZEL BIRCH Editor-in-Chief f vrj’j AS THE OLD TOWER stands watch over the stately halls and reports all the happenings therein by the faithful ringing of its bell. so its namesake will follow lead and report all the happenings therein by the faithful tapping of its typists. So read an editorial in the first edition of the Watchtower, September 22, 1923. But long before that time the happen¬ ings of Wesleyan had been recorded by the students, al¬ though not all of that time by typists. In 1857, on December 4, the first Philomathean Gazette was distributed among the students. Written in script, the publication contained editorials on such subjects as Woman s Influence; Pleasure; Fame; and Good Sense and Duty . There were also departments embracing fiction, wit and humor, current happenings and college news. In the fic¬ tion department there were usually short stories and often continued novelettes by the students. The Adelphean Chronicle was also in existence by 1858 as a kind of newspaper. In 1892 The Wesleyan Journal ap¬ peared for a few years, but not until the Watchtow er came in 1923 was there a definitely permanent newspaper devoted to the entire college and not to either of the societies. KATHERINE WINK Business Manager ' EVANS GARRETT HINSON JONES PEAGLER PHILLIPS ACREE Daniel HAYES MALONE THE FIRST student literary magazine at W leyan, according to the present records, was Tk t Parthenean, which appeared in 1894. published the senior class. A copy of the second numl May, 1895, is in the Wesleyan Historical Museum The Parthenean, in spite of its elegantly bufi. colored cover with gold lettering running diagoiu. across it, was short-lived, probably making only th( two festive appearances in 1894-95. Five years elapsed before the students attempted another literary magazine. Then in 1901-02 The Wesleyan came into existence and has been issued regularly ever since. In 1912 an article entitled The Greatest Event of the Twentieth Century, dealing with the Chines Revolution, was w ritten by Madame Sun Yat Sen wife of the first president of the Chinese Republic who was a junior at Wesleyan at the time. This year Amy decider has been editor of the magazine and Geraldine Garrett, business manager The editorial staff includes Alice Hinson, senior associate editor; Rose Peagler, junior associate editor; Helen Jones, sophomore associate editor; and Margaret Evans, feature editor. Amelia Phillips was circulation manager and the advertis¬ ing staff was composed of Elizabeth Acree, Isabc. Daniel, Hanson Hayes, and Carolyn Malone. AMY CLECKLER EJitor-irfChief THE PHI DELTA PHI honorary scholastic society was established in May, 1924, by the Board of Trustees on the recommendation of the faculty. It was to exist for the purpose of giving recognition to a limited number of seniors w’ho had been out¬ standing in scholarship, loyalty to the college, and who w’ere considered to be of the highest character. Last year the society added an amendment to the constitution providing for the election of one mem¬ ber at the beginning of her senior year, the others to be chosen regularly at the end of the four years. In the fall of 1935 Frances McCann was elected to Phi Delta Phi, thus becoming the first member ever to be selected on a three year record. On the first row’ are Dorothy Bell, Mary Dozier, and Charlotte Joiner. On the second are Frances McCann and Helen Smart. THE SCRIBES is an honorary organization com¬ posed of juniors and seniors who have shown evi¬ dence during their first two years of literary ability and appreciation. During this year Alice Cook has been president of the organization and Rose Peagler secretary. Each member is required to submit some creative work to the magazine for each edition and, at some time during the year, to entertain the other mem¬ bers with selections from her original work. On the top row are Hazel Birch, Amy Cleckler, and Alice Cook. Next are Helen Pafford, Rose Peagler, and Frances Townsend. This society is a continuation of the Wesleyan Writers ' Club which was formed in 1920 by four¬ teen students interested in writing. In 1923 the name was changed to Scribes and Pharisees and in 1931 became cimply Scribes. BETTY BALLENTINE ELIZABETH BROGDEN HELEN BARNES VIRGINIA BRYAN ELIZABETH BOWERS ALICE COOK MARY L.

A PHYSICAL CULTURE CLASS, 1902 In fair weather, free and regular exercise in the open air will be en¬ couraged. The merry laugh and cheerful sport will not only not be considered as indecorous, but encour¬ aged as the means of giving elasticity and energy, both to the mental and physical powers ' —Wesleyan Catalogue , 1844. “There were no sports and no games except one croquet set with which the girls played.

H , § ( Ytr fSi jJ f r W f ' f V AS EARLY as 1905 the Wesleyan Zig Zag, forerunner of the V eterrofit, mentioned the existence of a college athletic association, but for a few years thereafter the pages of the an¬ nual carrying the athletic write-ups listed no definite organization. The present Athletic Association was or¬ ganized in 1920 and has since that time become one of the three major organizations on campus. This year Alice Cook has been president of the athletic board; Pinky Evans, vice-president; Dorothy Du- Puis, secretary; and Mary Kathryn Sineath, treasurer. Parkie Culpepper was major sports manager; Ruth Jones, minor sports manager; Helen Jones, tennis; Virginia Percy, public¬ ity manager; Kathryn Alfriend, town girls ' representative ; and Joyce Rake- straw, freshman representative. At the conservatory Eloise Johnson served as president; Marjorie Hill¬ man, vice-president; Bertie Bigelman, secretary ; and Amelia Snell, treasurer. The first cabaret of the year was sponsored by the college athletic as¬ soc iation the night of the champion¬ ship soccer game, honoring the jun¬ iors, winners of the tournament. The conservatory organization in¬ vited the college students to another of the famous cabarets on Valentine night, where everything was elabo¬ rately decorated in red and white. EVANS DuPUIS SINEATH CULPEPPER R. JONES H. JONES PERCY ALFRIEND RAKESTRAW HILLMAN BIGELMAN SNELL ELOISE JOHNSON President at the Conservatory ALICE COOK President at thi College rrrfj ' They look pretty good, don t they? And they are plenty good! They showed their hrave hearts by not crying—much anyway—when the Thanksgiving games were rained out. At each of their games, led by Eddy Hillman, their captain, they showed how quickly they had learned the ropes of soccer playing. Caroline Hale most convinced those guarding her that she was a marathon runner or something. Katherine McConnell not only pro¬ tects her own goal, but do you remember how she sent that ball through the opponents ' goal? Edna Garrett probably wore a hole in the toe of her tennis shoes. If she didn ' t, the players who re¬ ceived her balls must have suffered a little wear and tear on theirs. The freshmen have just started on their soccer career, but they displayed twenty- two mighty swift feet on that held. Their record showed them down two and up one. They kept you guessing as to just exactly whether they were going to win or not. Maybe they were saving up . . . planning to do like the juniors and win every other year. Joe Estes, the captain, still had that stiff kick of hers. Board and Turner were always ready and waiting for her to send that little ball on to them. Saint Pete pulled a wise one just before a game, over the doctor, who declared she w’ould be in bed a week, and appeared on the field dressed just as the whistle blew. The sophomores may not have been able to win, but not for once did the ' spirit of 38 ' die; no, even in the dining room the spirit w as most prevalent. Champions again! Yep, the red and white felt like freshmen all over, for once more they carried off the glories of winning the soccer tournament. We bet they all gave Mary Julia a pat on the back for kicking that pigskin straight through and chalk¬ ing up the 1-1 tie with the seniors to a 2-1 victory for the KKK. Maybe the turkey Captain Evans and the squad feasted on had something to do with their happy victory. It would be rather hard to say whether the offense or defense played the better game; they both fought bravely. Martha Ruth showed that same cool head whenever the oppo¬ nents ' ball came around her territory. Sara Ham¬ mons was a new player, but the way she dribbled that ball down the field one would never know it. Reckon next year holds victory again for these mighty juniors? ry ' - If they didn ' t win the tournament, they almost did! At the end of the championship game this fighting senior eleven held down their junior oppo¬ nents with a tie. In one game they did an almost unforgivable thing—they defeated their sister class 5 to 0. But they were excused because they were seniors, and because they must have forgotten whom they were playing. Sis was captain again, and she and Cookie let everybody know that they hadn ' t played soccer for four years without learning how to worry a halfback. Of everything connected with soccer, the one thing that will be remembered —by Hinnie anyway—is the goal she kicked. The Freshman basketball team this year had hard luck as far as scores were concerned, but they had the spirit right on through the tournament and did a great deal of cheering for their champion sister-team. Edna Garrett was elected as their captain, and proved to be a most versatile player, filling either the position of forward or guard, wherever she w as needed most. She and Edy Hill- man did some very pretty playing as guards while Louise Wadsworth had a way of slinging the ball from any position. Frances Browm was high -scorer in their two games, and at times they both proved to be quite troublesome for the opposing guards. OwtAeMiMr Captain Helen Barnes had quite a way of enforc¬ ing the training rules on her team, and either that— or perhaps they were just naturally good—certainly gave the team an outstanding place in the annual tournament. They came nearer defeating the jun¬ ior team than any one else ever has, and only missed the championship by one goal. Dot Wink was not only star-forward for her team, but was one of the high-scorers for the entire season. She and Dot DuPuis became quite famous with their quick passw f ork. Joe Estes and Mary Jim Peters were right on the job with the guarding and hindered many attempts of ambitious forwards. o • Hail to the champions of three years ' standing! In fact it seems quite impossible for them to be downed in basketball, never in all their record hav¬ ing been defeated a single time. All the team were old players at Wesleyan except Billie Wilkinson who added something very valuable to them when she transferred from Andrew. Gerry Dorsey was captain of the victorious team and in almost every game led with high points in scoring. Parkie Cul¬ pepper and Nina Tabor were consistently danger¬ ous guards for any forward to play against. In fact the team as a whole really deserves every honor they have won. • rttee That little senior team! Little in size and in number, but how they do make up for that in fight¬ ing spirit when they are turned loose on the basket¬ ball court. Alice Cook was again high-scorer for her team, with Kat Sineath, captain, and Mildred Shirah working out some exceptionally pretty passes with her around the goal. Sis McCann made everybody she guarded wish she had more height so that she wouldn ' t climb up them and sur¬ prise them so greatly when she jumped up beyond their reach. They lost their first game to the jun¬ iors, won the next from the freshmen, only to be de¬ feated again by the sophomores.

J A CENTURY OF SERVICE TO GOD AND MAN | Since the founding of Emory College in 1836, the seven schools that now compose Emory University have enrolled 19,646 students and have conferred 8,244 degrees. Among the 9,000 living alumni are 3,000 business men, 2,694 doctors, 867 ministers, 765 teachers (including 13 college presidents), 537 lawyers, 100 journalists, and 72 foreign missionaries. Emory men today hold positions of responsibility and leadership in 47 states and 25 foreign countries. 1 Emory has grown from a struggling college to a large, fully accredited university, but the spirit which motivates each school—Arts and Sciences, Graduate, Business Administration, Law, Theology, Medicine, and Library Science—is the same love of learning for the service of God and man that inspired the founders of the old Emory at Oxford. ] Three junior colleges—one on the Atlanta campus, one in Valdosta, Georgia, and another on the old Emory campus at Oxford—enable Emory to retain the advantages of small classes and close faculty supervision along with the high standards of a university.
