Alumnae Magazine THE STATUS OF THE WRITER IN THE SOUTH

By Dr. Francis B. Simpkins

The Institute of Southern Culture was established at Longwood College in 1956 to promote the study of traditional aspects of Southern Civilization. The chief features of this endeavor have been the delivering and publication each year of six lectures by visiting scholars and by members of the Longwood faculty. The employ- ment of these lecturers and the publication of their efforts are made possible by the financial support provided by the Longwood Alumnae Association. The lecturers of the Summer Institute of Southern Cul- ture are from left to right: Dr. Lawrence Nelson, Sweet criticism of the lectures was that they often lacked A Briar College; Dr. Dorothy B. Schlegel, Longwood unity of theme. We do not think that this indictment can College; Dr. Robert D.Jacobs, University of Kentucky. with justice be brought against those of 1961. They adhere

to a general theme. It is "The Status of the Writer in the South." Moreover, the lectures are not merely popular like Shakespeare, stands in his work independent of his discourses, mere repetitions of dissertations given previously personal charactensrics." by distinguished speakers before academic audiences.

"This most famous of Virginia ante-bellum writers," The first lecture in the spring program of 1961 was by said Mr. Jacobs, "was compelled Willard Thorp, professor of English at Princeton University to face a series of adjustments that he was unable to meet. was on "The Writer as Pariah in the Old South." Mr. Thorp, Poe handicapped by being the son of actors. He was on the basis of extensive researches, proved that the South- unable to adjust himself to the conditions of his adopted state and his ern region before the Civil War paid little attention to the adopted father.

His subject was "Faulkner and the South."

The programs of the Institute of Southern Culture for 1961 were lengthy, consisting of three lecrures of more than three hours for each of two days. The lectures were on scholarly subjects given in great detail. But the crowds in attendance on each of the six appearances of our lecturers were good, and it was anticipated that when the papers presenred appear in print that the reception in the scholarly world will be favorable. These lectures will add to the scholarly repuration of Longwood College, modestly established by the series of Insritute of Southern Culture wejiave already published. POINTS OF PROGRESS

November, 1961 17 Editor's Note: These are excerpts from the address given by Mr. Mortimer Caplin on "Taxes".

The United States Internal Revenue Service Commissioner, Mortimer M.

Caplin, spoke at the fall convocation held at the College on October 5. Mr.

Caplin, a former University of Virginia professor, announced that a new and

simplified federal income tax form will be unveiled. The revised form is written in simple language and contains only two pages instead of four, Caplin

said. He also said that it would be easier to read and would be printed on better quality paper.

Mr. Caplin, who was introduced by Dr. Francis G. Lankford, Jr., president of Longwood, told the student body that women control approximately 70

per cent of the country's wealth and 60 per cent of all savings accounts. Women

also make the "key decisions" on about three-quarters of all purchases made in America, own half the homes, comprise more than half the stockholders in

major corporations, and are beneficiaries of 70 per cent of all insurance policies.

Mr. Caplin explained the necessity of a tax, and reminded the students that taxes have influenced some of the greatest events in history.

Taxes buy many services, such as an ever-expanding highway system,

delivery of the welcomed letters from home and friends, our beautiful public

parks, forests, and seashores, and in a large part, the education that enabled you to qualify for admission to Longwood College.

"Despite the complexity of our tax laws we have one of the best systems

in the world," Caplin said. "The success of this system is due to the fact that the taxpayers have confidence in tax laws and because of this have displayed a willingness to report income and deductions accurately."

Mr. Caplin continued, "Our tax system rests not just on words and rules and systems of organization, but on an educated citizenry bred in the tradition of honesty, of responsibility of each man and woman pulling his own weight for the good of the whole."

In answer to the question that some may have thought about in their own minds, "Why do we have to pay taxes anyway?", Mr. Caplin answered with the

words of Mr. Justice Holmes, who said, "I like to pay taxes. With them I buy civilization."

18 Alumnae Magazine ALUMNAE COUNCIL HOLDS ANNUAL FALL MEETING

The annual fall council meeting of the Long-wood College Alumnae Associa-

tion was held at the Alumnae House of the College on October 6 and 7. There were

approximately forty members present and included board members, chapter presi- dents, and council faculty members. Twelve chapters were represented.

At the dinner meeting on Friday night in the Snack Bar, Dr. Richard B. Brooks, chairman of the department of education, philosophy and psychology, gave a timely address on trends in education today. He told the alumnae that future teachers will be true professional workers.

John E. Allen, public relations and development director of the College, gave some interesting ideas for chapters to use in their programs and work for the year. Council members were very much impressed by the two lighted maps of the State of

Virginia he had made to show where our alumnae and present college students are.

At the Saturday morning session. Miss Helen Warriner, member of the board and supervisor of foreign language, gave a most fascinating report of her summer's

work at the U. of Mexico. She showed colored slides to illustrate her talk.

Dr. and Mrs. Lankford entertained the group at their home for a coffee hour.

At the closing session, reports were given by chapter presidents and Dr. Lank- ford gave a progress report on the college.

Mrs. Walter H. Brown, first vice-president of the National Alumnae Association,

presided at the two-day session. Reports were heard from the chanmen of the Snack Bar committee and Alumnae House committee.

Mrs. Cleveland Jones, alumnae secretary, pours coffee for Nan Seward Brown, of Petersburg, Carol Stoops Droessler, of Arlington; Virginia Leonard Campbell, of Richmond, and Miss Ann Galusha of Raleigh, North Carolina at the coffee hour given by Dr. and Mrs. Dr. Richard B. Brooks is pictured as he gave the talk to members of Lankford at their home for members of the Fall Council. Fall Council at dinner in the Snack Bar.
