empire, a world of its own where Hadrian recreated aspects of the empire he continuously traveled. Hadrian's Villa is in a valley. Directly above it is Tivoli, in the Alban hills, a Roman spa where today, every Tuesday afternoon, the local Rotary International meets for lunch. In Tivoli is another monument to the transi- toriness of man's self-glorification, Villa d'Este, created by a Renaissance Cardinal as a paradise of terraced fountains and Cyprus trees. Rome is the creation of her caesars, those of antiquity and those more modern in origin, the popes, the Renaissance lords. Amid their colossal creations of pomp and pride, with Rome's sweltering heat and jammed streets, modern Italy is not easy to discover. Dr. Angelo Sperrazza, head of the foreign section of the Christian Democratic Party, agreed to meet me in the party headquarters directly behind the Piazza Venezio, where Mussolini did his famous Roman bal- cony scenes. The Christian Democratic parties of Eu- rope are Catholicism's answer to Marxism. Dr. Sperraz- za is typical of the military, socially conscious layman of a church facing a forbidding challenge from the largest Communist Party outside the communist system. He has youth, idealism, high intelligence, and a commit- ment to a vision of a new and greater Italy.

He denied what I had previously been told was a slowly rising communist vote in Italy, a vote now at about a fourth of the total. Italy's survival depends on strong political parties and leadership among her youth. The present weaknesses of Italian parties comes from public apathy and distrust of the parties. The Chris- tian Democratic government of Premier Aldo Moro sup- ports the Johnson Vietnam policy. Public response to this issue is negligible. In striking contrast to this attitude was the reaction of the Italian public to the Arab- Israeli war in June. Italians were open and mag- nanimous in manifestations of sympathy for the Israelis. In part, this outpouring of feeling was the mark of an anti-fascism developed through years of effective communist propaganda. Italians, never anti-semitic, abhorred the mistreatment of Europe's Jews, which they associated with fascism. I learned from another source that political dissension in the United States over Vietnam had for a time caused pressure to be brought on the Moro government to weaken its support. This came from Moro's coalition partners, Pietro Nenni's left-wing Socialists. The Mid- dle East crisis cut the ground from this faction by bringing home to the Italian public the closeness of the communist military threat, in the open Soviet support of the Arab attack through their show of naval strength in the Mediterranean. Commenting on the Italian government's support of the Johnson administration on Vietnam, someone remarked that it really amounted to little. The Ital- ians took all the right positions so far as Americans were concerned but lacked the world influence that that had been governing the islands for three centuries. would enable them to do much more than talk about it.

Hardin Formula for Travel Hardin's formula for happy travel consists mainly of not acting like a tourist. "I avoid the big American Hilton-type hotels throughout Europe," he explains. "I think staying there is a great mistake for a person who has to watch his money very carefully. I believe you should travel as the people of that country travel, and stay in the same hotels in which they stay. I've been in places like Cannes, on the French Riviera, where it's rather expensive, and people told me, 'Oh, you can't afford that,' but you can if you go back from the beach a block or two and stay in the hotels where the French stay. There was a convention of filling station operators in the hotel where I had accommodations; there weren't any Americans. It is a dreadful error, I think, to stay in the great American hotels. You're not going to stay in a hotel room much anyway, if you travel as I do. Occasionally I take time out for a very fine meal, but this sort of thing takes up too much of yoiu" travel time—and money.

"Traveling on buses and streetcars is a wonderful way of meeting people, and standing in lines waiting for something. The London Underground is a great education. I've never made reservations anywhere and yet I've never had any trouble finding a place to stay. I never get theatre tickets ahead of time. I never have my plans ironed down so that I can't go anywhere else I might enjoy."

The Troubadours' album, "Trouba- dours in the Tropics," features the music performed by the 12-member ensemble on a tour of military installations in the Caribbean Command last summer. The Tour was made under the auspices of the USO-Depart- ment of Defense.

In the past year the federal government paid about handicapped by its comparative lack of funds.

Through the Educational Opportunity Grants, Col lege Work-Study and National Defense Student Loans, Woodward's office is administering a total of more than $300,000 for the current school year.

The second category of federal involvement involves^ funds for current projects and operating expenses. Mill- saps has qualified for several of these programs, which] are designed to improve the curriculum, purchase needed equipment, supplement faculty salaries, and make; funds available for research. Most of these programs are science-oriented, and of these many are administered by Dr. Priddy. |

I Since 1955 Millsaps has sought 50 government grants in science, and of this number has received 29. Priddy feels that Millsaps' success ratio would be higher if Mill- saps offered a graduate program. "In most cases thei reasoning behind refusal is not given, but in a few instances it has been pointed out that a graduate program' would increase our ability to fulfill the requirements' of National Science Foundation grants. In five instances Millsaps would have been awarded moneys for summer: institutes for high school teachers if this work would Browning: "If we get as much have counted toward a graduate degree." as ten percent .... I would be very much surprised."

Millsaps' federal support can be divided into three general categories: 1 —aid to its students, 2—funds for special projects and teaching fellowships, and 3—funds for permanent facilities.

Jack Woodward administers government aid to needy students, man.v of whom could not afford the cost of higher education without this help. As late as 1961 Wood- ward could keep the federal forms and paper-work in a small box. Now a wall of filing cabinets is necessary.

307 Millsaps students, almost one third of the total enrollment, receive aid from the federal government whether in the form of a loan, an outright grant, or a job.

Fifteen are attending under the G. I. Bill, and six get benefits as ciiildren of veterans. The remaining 286 students participate in several federal programs.

Educational Opportunity Grants. For the 1967-68 school year, Millsaps students will receive $137,500 under this program, which provides direct awards for students of exceptional financial need and academic promise. Through an Educational Opportunity Grant, a student may receive up to $800 a year for his educational expenses.

College Work-Study. This program gives part-time jobs to needy students, who work up to fifteen hours a week while attending classes fulltime. The jobs are usually in campus offices. Millsaps' Work-Study allot- ment for the current school year is $64,000.

National Defense Student Loans. With a defense loan, money is borrowed from the government and is repaid over a ten year period. The low interest rate doesn't begin to run until after the student has finished his education. For this school year, $103,000 has been appropriated A to MilUsaps for these loans.

Construction is scheduled to begin this summer on Mill- saps' proposed Academic Complex, shown in an artist's sketch. When completed, the complex will house a Fine Arts unit, a Lecture Center, and a Library Addition. The Lecture Center will have four amphi-theater classrooms which will seat from 75 to 180 students.

Government money has played an important part in recent construction and renovation projects on the campus. A forty year loan of $1,226,000 helped in the construction of the two new dormitories which have recently been occupied.

$75,000 in government funds have been used in the renovation of the Christian Center. The Center's drama facilities were improved, the entire building was air-con-' ditioned, and classrooms were added.

Construction is expected to begin in July on the new Academic Complex which will house a Fine Arts Center, an addition to the Library, and additional classrooms. Two government programs — a grant of $850,000 and a loan of $383,000—will be put with $1.3 million of Millsaps' own funds for this ambitious undertalting.

The amount of Millsaps' support from the government, small compared to that received by some institutions, is probably surprising to those who are unaware of the magnitude of the government's expenditures in higher education.

Business Manager Wood says, "There are those who say that a college should not become dependent on gov-

ernment support, and I agree with them." Millsaps' administration prefers non-government income, which is usually free from stipulations and conditions, and does not depend on congressional appropriation. Institutions whose programs are undergirded by government grants and loans suffer directly when Congress cuts its educational appropriations. The financial pressure caused by Vietnam has already been felt on some campuses, and Woodward: Helps almost one third of Millsaps' many educators fear that the biggest cuts are yet to students get federal aid. come.

Wood: "A college should not become dependent on government support." A noted economist recently visited the Millsaps campus under the auspices of the Visiting Science Pro- gram in Economics, which was established through a grant from the Na- tional Science Foundation. Dr. Ber- nard Sliger, Vice-Chancellor of Lou- isiana State University, delivered several talks to students and held conferences with members of the Mill- saps Economics faculty. The Visiting Science Program was designed to stimulate interest in economics among college students and to provide opportunities for college economics teachers to discuss their teaching and research problems with a visiting economist.

MILLSAPS' MOCK REPUBLICAN CONVENTION

Richard M. Nixon emerged the victorious nominee in Millsaps' Mock Republican Convention, held in Buie Gymnasium March 11-13. The nomination was captured by the Nixon forces on the fifth baUot after the tired backers of some favorite son candidates withdrew in favor of Nixon. New York Governor Nelson Rockefeller Republican Senator Strom Thurmond had been in contention for the first four ballots. South Carolina gave the convention's keynote address Monday night. The students accepted Illinois Senator Charles Percy Thurmond, a former Governor of South Carolina, ran un- for the Vice-Presidential nomination by acclamation. successfully for President in 1948 on the States' Rights Democrat ticket. His running mate was Governor Field- ing Wright of Mississippi. In 1964 Thurmond switched party affiliations when the Republicans nominated Barry Goldwater.

The Mock Convention, which was sponsored by the Fre-Law Club, gives students an opportunity to participate in one of the most important phases of the Ameri- can electoral process. The students have been remark- ably accurate in their selections. In 1960 John F. Ken- nedy was chosen for the presidency, with Lyndon John-

son his running - mate. In 1964 the Mock convention reached an impasse with Barry Goldwater forces leading substantially on every ballot, while failing to receive the necessary majority after several ballots. Dean Laney denied the students' request for a suspension of classes on the following day, and the convention was adjourned well past midnight with the Goldwater forces claiming a

moral, if not actual victory.

A Special Report

The

Plain Fact Is .

. . . our colleges and universities "are facing what might easily

become a crisis''

OUR COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES, over the last 20 years, have experienced an expansion that is without precedent—in buildings and in budgets, in students and in professors, in reputation and in rewards—in power and pride and in deserved prestige. As we try to tell our countrymen that we are faced with imminent bankruptcy, we confront the painful fact that in the eyes of the American people—and I think also in the eyes of disinterested observers abroad—we are a triumphant success. The observers seem to beUeve—and I believe myself—that the American campus ranks with the American corporation among the handful of first-class contributions which our civilization has made to the annals of human institutions. We come before the country to plead financial emergency at a time when our public standing

A Special Report

A STATE-SUPPORTED UNIVERSITY in the Midwest makes /% a sad announcement: With more well-qualified r—% applicants for its freshman class than ever be- A ^^^fore, the university must tighten its entrance requirements. Qualified though the kids are, the university must turn many of them away.

A private college in New England raises its tuition fee for the seventh time since World War II. In doing so, it admits ruefully: "Many of the best high-school graduates can't afford to come here, any more." A state college network in the West, long regarded as one of the nation's finest, cannot offer its students the usual range of instruction this year. Despite intensive recruiting, more than 1,000 openings on the faculty were unfilled at the start of the academic year. A church-related college in the South, whose de- nomination's leaders believe in strict separation of church and state, severs its church ties in order to seek money from the government. The college must have such money, say its administrators—or it will die. Outwardly, America's colleges and universities appear more affluent than at any time in the past. In the aggregate they have more money, more students, more buildings, better-paid faculties, than ever before in their history. Yet many are on the edge of deep trouble. "The plain fact," in the words of the president of Columbia University, "is that we are facing what might easily become a crisis in the financing of American higher education, and the sooner we know about it, the better off we will be."

TROUBLE is HOt limited to a few institutions. THENor does it affect only one or two types of institution. Large universities, small colleges; state-supported and privately supported: the problem faces them all. Before preparing this report, the editors asked more than 500 college and university presidents to tell us off the record, if they preferred—just how they viewed the future of their institutions. With rare exceptions, the presidents agreed on this assessment: 77;^? the money is not now in sight to meet the rising costs of higher education . . . to serve the growing numbers of bright, qualified students . . . and to payfor the myriad activities that Amer- icans now demand of their colleges and universities.

Moreover, America's colleges and universities have absorbed the tidal wave of students that was supposed to have swamped them by now. They have managed to fulfill their teaching and research functions and to under- take a variety of new public-service programs—despite the ominous predictions of faculty shortages heard ten or fifteen years ago. Says one foundation official:

"The system is bigger, stronger, and more productive than it has ever been, than any system of higher education in the world." Why, then, the growing concern? Re-examine the progress of the past ten years, and this fact becomes apparent: The progress was great but it did not deal with the basic flaws in higher education's financial situation. Rather, it made the whole en- terprise bigger, more sophisticated, and more expensive. Voluntary contributions grew—but the complexity and costliness of the nation's colleges and universities grew faster. Endowment funds grew—but the need for the income From them grew faster. State appropriations grew—but the need grew faster. Faculty salaries were rising. New courses were needed, due to the unprecedented "knowledge explosion." More costly apparatus was required, as scientific progress grew more complex. Enrollments burgeoned—and students stayed on for more advanced (and more expensive) training at higher levels. And, for most of the nation's 2,300 colleges and universities, an old problem remained—and was intensified, as the costs of education rose: gifts, endowment, and government funds continued to go, disproportionately, to a relative handful of institutions. Some 36 per cent of all voluntary contributions, for example, went to just 55 major universities. Some 90 per cent of all endowment Funds were owned by fewer than 5 per cent of the institutions. In 1966, the most recent year reported, some 70 per cent of the federal government's funds for higher education went to 100 institutions. McGeorge Bundy, the president of the Ford Founda- tion, puts it this way: "Great gains have been made; the academic profession has reached a wholly new level of economic strength, and the instruments of excellence—the libraries and

laboratories—are stronger than ever. But the university that pauses to look back will quickly fall behind in the endless race to the future." Mr. Bundy says further:

"The greatest general problem of higher education is money .... The multiplying needs of the nation's colleges and universities force a recognition that each new

attempt at a massive solution has left the trustees and presidents just where they started: in very great need."

FINANCIAL PROBLEMS of higher education THEare unlike those, say, of industry. Colleges and universities do not operate like General Mo-

tors. On the contrary, they sell their two primary services—teaching and research—at a loss. It is safe to say (although details may differ from institution to institution) that the American college or university student pays only a fraction of the cost of his education. This cost varies with the level of education and with the educational practices of the institution he attends. Undergraduate education, for instance, costs less than graduate education—which in turn may cost less than medical education. And the cost of educating a student in the sciences is greater than in the humanities. What- ever the variations, however, the student's tuition and fees pay only a portion of the bill. "As private enterprises," says one president, "we don't seem to be doing so well. We lose money every time we take in another student." Of course, neither he nor his colleagues on other campuses would have it otherwise. Nor, it seems clear, would most of the American people.

But just as student instruction is provided at a sub-

stantial reduction from the actual cost, so is the research that the nation's universities perform on a vast scale for the federal government. On this particular below-cost service, as contrasted with that involving the provision of education to their students, many colleges and universities are considerably less than enthusiastic.

In brief: The federal government rarely pays the full cost of the research it sponsors. Most of the money goes for direct costs (compensation for faculty time, equipment, computer use, etc.) Some of it goes for indirect costs (such "overhead" costs of the institution as payroll departments, libraries, etc.). Government policy stipulates that the institutions receiving federal research grants

—

must share in the cost of the research by contributing, in some fashion, a percentage of the total amount of the grant. University presidents have insisted for many years that the government should pay the full cost of the re-

search it sponsors. Under the present system of cost-

sharing, they point out, it actually costs their institutions money to conduct federally sponsored research. This has been one of the most controversial issues in the partner- ship between higher education and the federal govern-

ment, and it continues to be so. In commercial terms, then, colleges and universities

sell their products at a loss. If they are to avoid going bankrupt, they must make up—from other sources—the difference between the income they receive for their services and the money they spend to provide them. With costs spiraling upward, that task becomes ever more formidable.

In publicly supported colleges and universities, the

outlook is no brighter, although the gloom is of a different variety. Says the report of a study by two professors at the University of Wisconsin:

"Public institutions of higher education in the United States are now operating at a quality deficit of more than a billion dollars a year. In addition, despite heavy construction schedules, they have accumulated a major capital lag."

The deficit cited by the Wisconsin professors is a com- putation of the cost of bringing the public institutions' expenditures per student to a level comparable with that at the private institutions. With the enrollment growth expected by 1975, the professors calculate, the "quality deficit" in public higher education will reach $2.5 billion. The problem is caused, in large part, by the tremendous enrollment increases in public colleges and universities. The institutions' resources, says the Wisconsin study, "may not prove equal to the task." Moreover, there are indications that public institutions may be nearing the limit of expansion, unless they receive a massive infusion of new funds. One of every seven public universities rejected qualified applicants from their own states last fall; two of every seven rejected qualified applicants from other states. One of every ten raised admissions standards for in-state students; one in six raised standards for out-of-state students.

Federal government. Certainly there is room for expansion. (Colleges and universities are working overtime to tap this reservoir. Mr. Schwartz's association alone lists 117 colleges and universities that are now campaigning to raise a combined total of $4 billion.) But others are not so certain that expansion in private giving will indeed take place. The 46th annual survey by the John Price Jones Company, a firm of fund-raising counselors, sampled 50 colleges and universities and found a decline in voluntary giving of 8.7 per cent in 12 months. The Council for Financial Aid to Education and the American Alumni Council calculate that voluntary support for higher education in 1965-66 declined by some 1.2 per cent in the same period. Refining these figures gives them more meaning. The major private universities, for example, received about 36 per cent of the SI. 2 billion given to higher education —a decrease from the previous year. Private liberal arts colleges also fell behind: coeducational colleges dropped 10 per cent, men's colleges dropped 16.2 per cent, and women's colleges dropped 12.6 percent. State institutions, on the other hand, increased their private support by 23.8 per cent. The record of some cohesive groups of colleges and universities is also revealing. Voluntary support of eight Ivy League institutions declined 27.8 per cent, for a total loss of $61 million. The Seven College Conference, a group of women's colleges, reported a drop of 41 per cent.

When Ross Moore was enrolled at graduate school at the University of Chicago, Millsaps President David Martin Key wrote a faculty member at Chicago asking for "a frank and confidential statement as to the success and worthwhile-ness of the work Mr. Moore has done .... and whether you consider him to have the ability .... to become head of a Department of History in a College of Liberal Arts."

If men are born free, an issue still in doubt in our own time, then the duty of a liberal education is to help free men to become wise. The rigidity of illiberalism will not survive in a true academic community. What Dr. Moore was challenging the 1932 freshman class to do was to liberate their thinlcing patterns as well as their thoughts. If college is not a place for a newer outlook it is only a continuation of high school. Although no evidence that means were available to carry this philosophy into the reality of alteration, diversification, and even transformation of the college extant was evident, it is a striking fact that each of does indeed remember a different Millsaps, altered, diversified and transformed, until today those who advocate policy changes are free to do so. In the center of change, however, there is the constant: each of us remembers the same Ross, Moore.

Subsequently, today, many other administrative circles do not exercise commensurate logic by allowing students to be taught to think for themselves and to function independently, while at the same time failing to allow these lessons to be put into practice within their own academic communities.

Historically the university originated without an administration. At least partially its origins were in the student guilds of the thirtennth century in which the teachers were hired, fired, and directed by the students. The larger university system that has since developed should function — as Millsaps does today — on an inter- personal faculty-student relationship, with emphasis placed on the needs and the development of the individual student. To the extent that any administration interferes with this relationship, to that extent the administration has overstepped its practical purpose.

Perhaps it is partly to avoid this risk altogether that Ross Moore has never yielded to the temptation to become a college administrator, although that opportunity has been offered him (and although that very opportunity is the goal upon which many of us place the highest value, intent and aspiration). As is evidenced by his Alumni Day Speech, reprinted elsewhere in this issue. Dr. Moore defends this point of view with as much adamacy as his personality can command. Moreover, he has felt this way since he himself was a sophomore in college. To him, if the student did not diversify himself he was "wasting his time." He has led in student activism and on its behalf by establishing programs "He is become an integral part of the history of ranging from Omicron Delta Kappa, to the History 401 Millsaps College." Senior Seminar, to the International Relations Club. He has advocated change even when it was hazardous to do so. In 1937, the International Relations Club under his sponsorship took a step which at that time was nothing short of ethnocentric "treason," when the members wir- ed Mississippi Senators to vote in favor of the Gavagan anti-lynching bill then before the United States Senate. "Such a vote will require courage on your part," they said, "but will, we believe, reflect the sentiments of responsible, clear-thinking Mississippians." In short, as one of Dr. Moore's former students pertinantly observ- ed, "You see, Ross hasn't changed; the people around Ross have changed."

6 "Teachers must fulfill their function by precept and practice, by the very atmosphere which they generate; they must be exemplars of open- mindedness and free inquiry."

Approximately one-half of the Millsaps Student Body Moore has been unusually successful. In history alone, goes on after the bachelor'3 degree to do graduate and the names of David Donald, John K.

He is a man with a non-fundamentalist open- mindedness. He lives his doctrine of individual responsibility and his warnn humaneness testifies for the common decency and the dignity of mankind. Through him we are caught up here and now in a world of remoter horizons, on a tertiary plane of hyperactive and ultra- sensitive perception, far removed from the clamour of outside society. We know first and foremost that we are but ioti on this speck of dust called Earth, far out in an ever-expanding universe. To waste the flickering in- stant of a lifetime is beneath the dignity of humanity. This Ross Moore has taught us.

There is, therefore, a purpose driving each of his students; there is a force that acts a priori which does not admit failure, does not allow respite or acquiescence to the problems which we set out to ameliorate. We pre- ceive as did Alfred Lord Tennyson that

The lights begin to twinkle from the rocks; The long day wanes; the slow moon climbs; the deep Moans around with many voices. Come, my friends, 'Tis not too late to seek a newer world. We guide ourselves in the maelstrom of education by the inextinguishable star of excellence.

Leadership is the pursuit of excellence. It is, as Professor Vincent Scully of Yale University says, what makes the student realize that "You want things done that nature doesn't want." It is, as Dr. Ross Moore has said, perhaps the world's greatest need today.

The teaching profession should — but it is the only learned profession that does not —- have a definition for malfeasance of practice. However, if a guideline is ever to be drawn, the framers would profit considerably by taking a long look at the leadership qualities of Ross Henderson Moore. For here is one of academe's finest exemplars. "Ross Moore offers not so much advice on facts, as the realization of capacity and the possibility of accom- Many professors throw up a smokescreen of ac- plishment." ademic regalia and professorial jargon to achieve a facade to deflect and dispell questions. Dr. Moore presents a demeanor which prompts and encourages intellectual curiosity. Here is the teacher to whom the student professes his ignorance rather than attempting to hide it. And it is this profession of ignorance more than anything else which contributes to its own demise. We become wiser as we recognize our ignorance.

The student, then, is concerned with feeling even more than with knowledge and thought. The flow of information and persuasion that comes from the lectures of Professor Moore echos in the long, silent chambers of the mind and creates in each student a rapport and a curiosity. The student who commonly looks at the Dr. Moore's constancy does not mean that his is neck of the fellow in front of him, or who spends the the same intelect it was last year, or ten, or forty years class period reading and augmenting the inter-fraternity ago (in spite of the fact that those who knew him in memoranda on the desk top, becomes a participator in 1923 say he hasn't changed a bit in physical appearance). the learning process.

And he binds all this up with his history a vital force in the lives of men. This is not to most strategic weapon; his contemporary attitude. This suggest that his courses are personality-centered. They is not only a lecture style in the first person plural, but are not; they are problem-centered. It is, however, his it is a quality inherent in Millsaps College itself: personality that facilitates the solving of the problems "changing permanence." he presents. He does not use the Socratic method very

8 much; he explains things with a clarity and lucidity that usually comes only in the fourth or fifth draft of the expert writer's text. The art of making complex and difficult ideas seem clear and easy to groups is the hall- mark of the true teacher. He does not present the student with the answers. This, Professor Moore has said, is nothing short of pushing buttons on human adding machines so that the students will click with the inevitable answers on an examination. What he does is to lead the student to the verge of a chain of reasoning that enables the astute observer to discover the solution even before the final question is concluded. "You know, Ross has ways of getting you to do what he wants you to do," one of his students recalled.

In the final analysis the Prime Directive may be traced to one feeling that Ross Moore has never let pass beyond the scope of his consciousness. He has never forgotten what it was like to be a young professor. One recalls the words of praise that Dr. Collins had for his senior colleague: "I cannot think of a better goal to which any young teacher could aspire than to be more like you." So that Dr. Moore has been his own best example. And like any philosopher worthy of the

name he discounts it. Similarly, neither has Dr. Moore forgotten what it is to be a student, for in every serious aspect of the term is what he remains. It is the paradox of the student mind that it has a tremendous perception for detecting "bull" from the lectern, but it cannot believe that the process is reversible. Consequently, not only is Dr. Moore's attitude one of utility, but it is also one of professional self-defense!

Complementing this attitude is the fact that Dr. Moore takes joy in what he is doing. "Oh he's a born teacher," says the matchless Mrs. Moore. "I sometimes

think that if he had money . . . Ross would actually pay for the privilege of teaching."

Utility, devotion, liberalism, excellence: leadership. There can surely be no finer aspect of leadership than the one represented in helping a developing mind to unfold in the course of a college career. Miraculously this is the quality that is mysteriously achieved some- where in the relationship between a real teacher and a real student. For the student, as he later understands, this is even more important than the factual content of the coursework. The challenge is not only presented, but the will to accept and to execute it is magnified. Ross Moore, therefore, offers not so much advice or facts, as the realization of capacity and the possibility of accomplishment. He teaches us what we ourselves will be capable of if we manage our imaginations with sufficient devotion and if we are sufficiently ruthless toward any cheapening substitute of the real thing.

Today, as we recognize the cataclysmic change around us, and that the existence and implementation of constructive challenge must be the basic reasons for education, we must also recognize that there are certain fundamentals in the world by which even the most radical course must be charted. A great many of these elemental truths are epitomized in the persoi-.ality and career of Dr. Ross Henderson Moore. For it is he, like Gibran's Prophet, who "does not bid you enter the house of his wisdom, but rather leads you to the threshold of your own mind." The challenge to the student must lie in that new awareness of high his own threshold how "I sometimes think that if he had money, Ross is to be. would actually pay for the privilege of teaching.' :

10 WHAT MILLSAPS HAS BEEN,

AND IS NOW

Do you remember Free Silver? Professor Lin is my authority for the story that he was very unpopular for a time because he favored the gold standard. Professor Harrell said some people objected when Millsaps students built a bonfire on Observatory Hill to show that they were in favor of the war with Spain in •98. Dr. Swearingen and other campus neighbors com- plained that our ministerial students had a too highly developed appetite for chicken. But I arn certainly not going to tell you what went on in upper Burton in the twenties. Or during the panty raids of the fifties. Some of you can furnish your own details and show your souvenirs. There was so much dissent over Dr. Kern putting on a Shakespeare play that the curtain stayed down for years. We later enjoyed tableaux and morality plays, and now — Desire Under the Elms. Eyebrows were raised when Bertha Ricketts insisted on taking Biology in a class of men. And a long-time student movement finally got football restored to the sports program, thanks to Car], Howarth and others. Dr. Julius Crisler withdrew his support from the College for a time when he learned that we had com- pulsory chapel only four days a week. Does anyone here remember Henry Collins' Purple and White article on Bilbo? It's a wonder the College PROFESSOR J. REESE LIN was very unpop- did not close its doors. Or when students signed peace ular in his day because he favored free silver. pledges in the thirties to the great chagrin of Major Calvin Wells, who came out to denounce them in a long chapel speech. And later there was the telegram from the Interna- tional Relations Club supporting the anti-lynching bill that gave us a very bad press. Or Dr. Ferguson's near- capture of the Democratic precinct election that made headhnes in local papers and raised the oft-repeated query — "What's going on at Millsaps?"

11 The outcry against Dr. Sullivan's acceptance of the theory of evolution came close to proving that an institution cannot survive without adjusting to its environ- I ment. But if we had, Millsaps would no longer be a real institution of higher learning. This was part of the Fundamentalism-Modernism controversy during which a couple of professors were fired, before the days of A.A.U.P.

Did you know that the 1934 Bobashela became a "stone" around our neck? President Key had been depicted with the body of one of his very primitive an- cestors and his reaction was very much to the point. In answer to protests from the local press he said that if our students were all-knowing and had attained perfect judgment, they would not still be students.

Millsaps is supposed to have lost thousands of dollars because President Finger declared that thera were no communists at the College and he therefore saw no reason for our students to be required to sign the Dis- DR.

But we have moved from the time when we thought girls had too little hair (in the twenties) to the time when men have too much. My father wore a beard while he taught here and I have threatened to grow one when the College bans them.

Now, what is the purpose of this review? Mainly to tell you that Millsaps has always been this way. Never in a strait jacket, never insisting on complete conformi- ty, and always willing for its faculty and students to express their opinions and to espouse unpopular causes while hoping they would show some restraint. Why has this been true? Because without a large degree of tolerance, patience, and freedom we cannot develop our ability to think. Surely we cannot contend that all these incidents were desirable, useful, or that they did not harm the College. But as President Stahr of Indiana has said, "We have far too much to lose ultimately if we unleash the forces of suppression."

We are all very much concerned about what is happening throughout the world in higher education. The spectacular events which are still making headlines trouble us deeply. We might despair if we did not keep our perspective and realize that these events have oc- curred on only a few campuses and were participated in by only two or three percent of their students. We have had none of this violence at Millsaps and do not anticipate any. It has been mainly in the large universities where students feel that they have been neglected and and are not able to communicate with the faculty and administration. They complain of being merely the "forgotten" of the sixties. Universities have become so big and im- personal that mass instruction has taken the place of inquiry and the I B M card has become a symbol of alienation. Harold Howe points out in The New York Times (April 27, 1968) that students cannot understand why university professors, who are responsible for the reach into space, for splitting the atom, are unable to make "The outcry against DR. SULLIVAN'S acceptance their courses pertinent to the Lives of the students. of the theory of evolution came close to proving that an Once again we can be proud to be, as Dr. Smith institution can not survive without adjusting to its would say, "A small Liberal Arts college." environment."

12 structured relationship. The College came to regret that they had not let sleeping co-eds lie, and the final punishment was not allowing her to eat in the cafeteria. The question is not so much what to do when dis- turbances occur, but how to prevent them. This is being handled very successfully on many campuses without publicity by placing responsibilities on students, listen- ing to their grievances, and getting their assistance in solving problems. Colleges that "freeze-up" and refuse to recognize legitimate student rights will continue to have trouble, for whereas only one per cent will protest over Vietnam, a large number become activists when they feel that their requests are not being heard or student rights flaunted.

Time magazine in a recent Essay (May 3, 1968) states that the students have taught the administrations that some of the proposed changes are good and the way to deal with student power is to anticipate it and initiate changes before the students demand them. We at Millsaps are fortunate in having a relatively small student body; a good faculty that is genuinely interested in the students; together with a willingness to change our curriculum and update our procedures. Our administration is alert and does listen to student "PROFESSOR HARRELL said some opinion and tries to correct grievances, with a determi- people objected when Millsaps students nation to maintain freedom as well as high standards. built a bonfire on Observatory Hill to show Dr. Graves does not ask for your sympathy, but he, that they were in favor of the war with Dean Laney, Dean Christmas, and the College, desperate- '98."

From The President

Of The College

Recent reports from campuses throughout the world have been a source of dismay and alarm for most of us, as we hear of disruptive confrontations between students, teachers, and administrators. For the most part, these confrontations have solved no problems, and

have left destruction and dissension in their wake.

Fortunately, such disruption has not been the case

at Millsaps College. 1 would be less than honest if 1 told you that we have had no incidents. However, all doors on our campus have been open. Our students have responded with maturity to proposals from our faculty and administration, while the administration has sought to be sensitive to the thoughtful suggestions of faculty and students. This climate of open discussion has re- sulted in a period of usually quiet, sometimes dynamic progress by each segment of the Millsaps College com- inunity. Therefore, the past year at the College can BENJAMIN B. GRAVES best be characterized as a time for building, as stu- Dr. Benjamin B.

An indication of the calibre of students which Mill- saps attracts and the quality of the education which these students receive at the College can be gained from the results of the Graduate Record Examination, a graduation requirement of all Millsaps students. At most other schools, this examination is given to only those students who plan to enter graduate schools. When compared with other graduating students, the 1968 Mill- saps class scored an average 64.14 percentile. Our graduates have consistently recorded scores which rank well into the upper half of those taking the test nation-wide.

Enrollment Evidencing the growth of Millsaps' student community, 277 young men and women enrolled in Septem- ber in the largest freshman class in the College's history. Until now, the 1965-66 freshman class had been the largest with 260 members. The current freshman class is a most promising one. Of Mississippi's seven Na- tional Merit winners who chose to attend college within the state, three have enrolled at Millsaps. Of last year's five high school seniors who won National Council of Teachers of English Awards, four chose Millsaps for their higher education. In all, twenty National Merit finalists and six National Merit commended students are members of our current freshman class.

That Millsaps' primary area of service continues to be the State of Mississippi is reflected by the fact that seventy-five percent of the members of our freshman class came from within the state. However, our receipt of the Ford Foundation Challenge Grant as a "regional center of excellence" has done much to enhance the college's reputation in other areas, and our recruiting efforts in other states meet with increasing success with each passing year. Fourteen different states are represented in this .vear's freshman class. During the 1967-68 sessions twenty-seven states and four foreign countries were represented in the student body.

Enrollment during the 1967-68 sessions of the college v-?. was the largest in its history, with 935 students enrolled in the fall term and 940 in the spring term. Our enrollment has continued to increase in the 1968 fall semester, despite a regrettable but absolutely necessary tuition increase. Nine hundred and sixty-one students are currently enrolled, which is the largest total ever for the college. In coming years, Millsaps will seek to gradually increase its enrollment, provided we are able to accomplish this without compromising our present admission requirements. We are looking toward a goal of 1500 students by 1975.

Student Activities The Millsaps Troubadours have been selected by the United Service Organization for an entertainment tour of military installations in the European Command. This is the fourth time in recent years that the Trouba- dours were given such an invitation. In the spring, the Millsaps Singers toured eight states, and each of their concerts was received with enthusiasm, as were the ^-^^h performances of the Millsaps Players, who completed another successful year. The students became involved this spring in a Mock Republican Convention, a traditional election year exercise in politics sponsored by the students. Senator Strom Thurmond of South Carolina visited the campus to deliver the Mock Convention's keynote address.

In lieu of the traditional chapel requirement, the Millsaps Series is novi' offering convocations, lectures, music, drama, and art on a voluntary attendance basis. The response from students has been most encouraging.

Athletics Dr. James A. Montgomery will now devote all his efforts to his duties as Director of Athletics. Under Dr. Montgomery, the intercollegiate and intramural sports programs will offer the opportunity for competitive participation to the entire student body. During the 1967-68

school year, it is estimated that more than one half of our students participated in some intramural or intercollegiate athletic competition. J. C. Anthony replaced Dr. Montgomery as Head Basketball Coach. He will also serve as Dean of Men.

Millsaps continues to offer financial assistance to deserving young athletes through the Diamond Anniver- sary Scholarships, and has been successful in attracting capable scholar-athletes to the school.

The college's athletic program has outgrown its present facilities, and the Board of Trustees recently authorized a study of the needs of the Physical Edu- cation Department. An architectural firm has been re- tained, and an area of fourteen acres has been set aside for future development of these needed athletic facilities.

Financial Aid Through the generosity of the college's supporters, Millsaps' ability to award non-government financial aid to deserving students has increased significantly in recent years. For example, three incoming freshmen are attending as recipients of David Martin Key Scholar- ships, which are four-year stipends honoring Dr. D. M. Key, President of Millsaps from 1923 to 1938. Ten other outstanding high school graduates have enrolled as recipients of R. Mason Strieker Memorial Scholarships. This particular fund was established in 1967 in honor of Mr. Strieker, a prominent Mississippi businessman and benefactor of the college.

Aside from financial aid coming from private sources, 307 Millsaps students are now receiving some assistance in the form of grants and loans from govern- mental sources. This number represents almost one third of the entire student body. ACADEMIC AFFAIRS

Faculty In the 1967-68 school year the Millsaps student body was served by a faculty of 61 full-time and 19 part-time teachers. Eighteen members of the full-time faculty had Ph.D. degrees. This number has been increased to 21 for the current school year. The total does not include three teachers who have completed the requirements for the Ph.D. and whose receipt of the degree is expected within the current school year. Five faculty members working for the Ph.D. are in the dissertation stage, and it is hoped that these degrees will be received before the beginning of the next school year.

During the past four years, the college has made significant improvement in its faculty salary schedule, rising on the A.A.U.P.'s national scale from a "D" rat- ing to "C". However, the demand for quality teachers continues to exceed the supply. It is imperative that Mill- saps continually re-emphasize the fact that a superior faculty is an absolutely essential ingredient in an educational program of real excellence.

Curriculum The faculty has devoted much work to plans for future academic development. In the spring the faculty approved the establishment of a Department of Art, and also authorized the establishment of a Major in Speech and Drama. Mr. William Rowell, who came to the College in the summer from MSCW, is Chairman of the Art Department. The department is temporarily located in Galloway Hall, but will move into a spacious area of galleries, lecture rooms, and offices upon completion of our Academic Complex.

In the spring semester Millsaps inaugurated its first course in Computer Programming. This program was made possible through the cooperation of the Computer Center^ of the Mississippi Research and Development Center, which is located near the campus. The course will continue to be taught at the Computer Center until the necessary equipment can be provided on the campus.

After more than three years' planning and work, a significant new curriculum was inaugurated in Septem- ber for incoming freshmen. This new program is known as the Heritage Program, and is being offered on a pilot basis to selected students. The Heritage Program will integrate such disciplines as history, art, literature, music, religion, and philosophy in a unique ap- proach to the study of Western Civilization. The program is designed to replace several traditional freshman courses, and wiU be taught by a team of teachers.

In cooperation with Drew University, Millsaps began this year to offer a junior year semester in political science in London, England. The faculty includes members of the faculty of the London School of Economics and Political Science, Oxford University, Leeds Univer- sity and other outstanding schools. INTERNAL AFFAIRS

Business Management The college has enjoyed a year of progress and innovation in the area of business management. The Busi- ness Office now does much of its work with data processing equipmenf, which is expected to cut operating costs and increase efficiency.

The college's cost of maintenance and operations is increasing rapidly. This increase, which is being felt nationwide, can be attributed to several factors. Among these are the new minimun^ wage requirement, the necessity for additional administrative personnel, the need for trained workmen to maintain and operate new d air-conditioning, heating and other equipment, and the %: long-delayed need for capital improvements of campus -^;;» 'i^i^r_ buildings. •^^-'y f^SfS*^ All college housing is now in excellent condition, providing attractive and comfortable rooms for all resident students. The food service has been improved with the employment of professional management in this area. A part-time registered nurse has been added to the medical staff. During the past school year, some

eight hundred students were treated for various ill- nesses in the infirmary.

Physical Facilities The air-conditioning and renovation of the Christian Center has been accomplished, partially with proceeds from the "Toward a Destiny of Excellence" program. The improvements include a new lighting system, a >A'.. larger stage area, additional stage equipment, and several new seminar rooms and faculty offices.

Construction has started on the new Academic Com- plex, a magnificent $2.6 million structure. This building will be partially financed through proceeds from the 'Toward a Destiny of Excellence" effort. When completed, the Complex will, house a library addition, art and music centers, lecture rooms, recital rooms, and offices. It will contain a Computer Center, where a complete line of both computer and data processing equipment will be available for use by faculty, administration and students. The Complex, which will be a three- story structure longer than a football field, will also contain an audio-visual center, with storage and re- trieval areas for programmed instructional material.

The construction of the Academic Complex, which has been described as the most exciting educational construction in the state's recent history, will do much to signify a new era of excellence for the college. The building will be completed by 1970.

Government Assistance In recent years the college has given considerable attention to government programs of financial assistance. During the 1967-68 school year, Millsaps received more than $90,000 for faculty research programs and for classroom equipment, and over $80,000 to aid in the development of its academic program. EXTERNAL RELATIONS

The major external activities of alumni relations, public relations, publications, and fund-raising have been merged into one new department—the Department of Institutional Development. This consolidation was ef- fected to create a more efficient and economical operation, and should provide more effective coordination of these important areas. The Department has begun to use data processing equipment in the compilation of mailing lists and gift records.

Alumni The Millsaps Alumni Association enjoyed a most successful year during the presidency of Dr. Eugene Countiss, and the association continues to meet with success during the administration of Dr. Countiss' suc- cessor, Mr. H. V. Allen, Jr.

The Development Department plans and stages the annual Homecoming Weekend in the fall and the Alumni Weekend in the spring. In May, Alumni Weekend, including Past Presidents Day, the All-Sports Award Ban- quet, and Alumni Day, attracted more than 600 persons to the campus. Highlights of the weekend were talks by Dr. Ross Moore, senior member of the faculty, and former pro football quarterback Bill Wade.

Supporters of the college continue to make gratify- ing contributions to meet current operating costs. The 1967-68 Alumni Fund won national recognition from the American Alumni Council for improvement in the number of alumni participating in the fund. Under the direction of new Alumni Fund Chairman G. C. Clark of Jackson, this year's alumni support for current operations is exceeding expectations.

Church Relations The response of Mississippi Methodists to the needs of its institutions through the Methodist Action Crusade has been a source of excitement and encouragement. Millsaps will receive $1,500,000 from this campaign, which will be the largest amount received from a single church campaign since the college was founded in 1890.

T»he Church-College relationship is a two-way street, and Millsaps is conscious of its responsibility to the Methodists of Mississippi. Primarily, it is to the education of young men and women who plan to enter church- related vocations. Eight members of the 1968 graduating class have enrolled in Methodist theological seminar- ies, and there are now twenty-eight Methodist ministerial students studying at Millsaps, many of whom already serve their church as student pastors. Eight students are preparing for careers in Christian education, three plan to be church choral directors, and one a deaconess.

8 The Methodist congregations in Mississippi have rendered invaluable assistance to the College in the re- cruitment of capable students. Films dealing with the Col- lege have been shown by church groups, and Methodists have worked to foster interest in Millsaps among talented prospective students.

The North Mississippi Methodist Conference held its Annual Conference on the campus in June, and the Mississippi Conference will meet on the campus next summer. The Methodist Youth Assembly of the Missis- sippi Conference was welcomed to the campus in Au- gust.

Millsaps seeks to strengthen its ties with Mississippi Methodists, who ha^e been a source of spiritual and material support for the mission to which the college is called.

"Toward a Destiny of Excellence" Program The Ford Foundation Challenge Grant pledges are approaching $3,200,000, and the amount received in payment on these pledges has passed $2,400,000. Since the Ford Foundation will allow the college to use its regular annual giving to match its grant, our total matchable funds have gone past $3,000,000. With less than eight months to go in the campaign, it is imperative that we receive payments on the pledges already made and locate other gifts in sufficient number and size before the June 30, 1969 deadline.

Millsaps Associates In an attempt to recognize the many individuals who have contributed generously of their time and money to the Ford Challenge Grant Campaign, the Millsaps Associates sponsored a "Target-Victory" Dinner on May 23 at the Hotel Heidelberg. Dr. Andrew Holt, President of the University of Tennessee, gave the principal address at the meeting, which was attended by over 500 workers and contributors. A $50,000 grant from the Kresge Foundation was announced at this banquet. The Associates, under the chairmanship of Mr. Joe N. Bailey, Jr. of Coffeeville, continue to provide excellent support for the college.

SUMMARY

Millsaps, like other higher institutions of learning, is faced with problems. These include the need to increase faculty salaries, increase scholarship funds, purchase new equipment, construct needed physical facilities, and increase library holdings. However, our problems are not insurmountable ones. With ultimate faith in the College and its constituency, we see no reason why those who love and recognize the value of Millsaps College will not be able to continue their concerted efforts, building toward the College's destiny of excellence.

27 Homecoming, 1968

James .1. Livesay, the Associate Di- rector of Development for Alumni Af- lairs, called it "one of the best Home- comings yet." Alumni Association President H. V. Allen, Jr. agreed, as did the hundreds of Millsaps alumni and friends who returned to the campus for Homecoming Weekend, Octo- ber 11-12.

Highlights of the weekend -long events were the crowning of Miss Mary Belinda Bettcher as Homecom- ing Queen, the naming of Chancellor James S. Ferguson as Alumnus of tiie Year, and the surprising 61-8 win over traditional rival Southwestern of Mem- phis in the Homecoming game.

Bishop Homer Ellis Finger, Resi- dent Bishop of the Nashville Area of the United Methodist Church and President of the College from 1952 to 1963, returned to Millsaps to deliver the address for the Convocation on Friday, October 11. The Convocation formally opened the school's seventy- seventh session, and also served as a commencem.ent of the Homecoming activities.

Alumni Association President Allen and College President Dr. Benjamin Homecoming Queen B. Graves presented Miss Bettcher Mary Belinda Bettcher during the halftime of the football game. Miss Bettcher, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Warren R. Bettcher of Little Rock, Arkansas, is a senior majoring in elementary education, and has been a cheerleader for four years. She is a member of the Kappa Delta sorority.

Other members of the Homecoming Court, who were chosen in a campus election, were Cynthia Lynn Brunson of Jackson, Diane McLemore of Gulf- port, Patricia Murphree of Aberdeen, and Vicki Lynn Ozborn of In- dianapolis, Indiana.

During the Homecoming Banquet Saturday evening, Dr. James S. Ferguson, Chancellor of the Univer- sity of North Carolina at Greensboro, was named the Alumnus of the Year. .Dr. Ferguson, who is recognized as one of the South's leading educators both as a teacher and administrator, served on the Millsaps faculty from Alumnus-of-the-Year Dr. James S. Ferguson 1944 to 1962. He was Dean of the Col- with President Benjamin B. Graves (left) and lege from 1954 to 1962. Alumni Association President H. V. Allen, Jr.

28 Millsaps Confers Honorary Degree on Strieker

During the October 11 Convocation, which formally opened the school's seventy-seventh session, Millsaps con- ferred the Honorary Degree of Doctor of Laws on businessman Robert Mason Strieker of Woodville, Missis- sippi.

Dean Frank M. Laney presented Dr. Strieker to President Benjamin Graves for the conferring of the degree. Here is the text of Dean Laney's remarks.

"Robert Mason Strieker was born in the last quarter of the 19th century in Fort Adamis, Mississippi, where his grandparents had settled in the 1840's after leaving their native Ger- many to make a new life for themselves in America. Mr. Strieker received his early education in private tutorial schools in Ft. Adams, and continued his preparatory and early college training in Mississippi and in Virginia, where he attended old Ran- dolph-Macon Academy. From 1903 to 1905 he attended Millsaps College. Be- cause his financial resources would not permit him to continue his study for m.ore than two years and because of his evident desire to make every minute of his student years at this college contribute to his greatest growth, he was granted an unprecedented permission to take whatever courses seemed most profitable for his development. He has himself re- ferred to these years at Millsaps as his 'Best Years,' when his 'young mind, thirsty for knowledge,' reacted to 'new discoveries, new ideas, new principles, forces and scientific reasons for the things that keep us alert, happy and appreciative of hfe itself.'

'Leaving college after these two years, he returned to Fort Adams, where he entered upon a life-long career in the timber and cattle business. In more recent years he has been interested in oil development.
