ILUME XXXIV No. 1 February 1948 President Lancaster's Message

One year ago it was my privilege to write a letter outlining some of our hopes and plans for the college. Now after sixteen months as president of the college, I am giving an account of my stewardship and outlining a few of our plans for the future. Of course, the things that count most in making a college great are faculty and students. Ad-

vantage is being taken of every opportunity to strengthen faculty and administrative

staff. Under the direction of the new dean of the college assisted by an able committee on admissions, tests have been given to all appli- cants for admission to this year's freshman class. The results of these tests have been used in connection with the high school records and other information to determine the appli- cants' capacity for good work in college. As a result, this year's freshman class is smaller in number but the members are superior in ability to those admitted in recent years. With carefully selected students and a strong faculty we are convinced that S.T.C. will be able to do its part in the years ahead to guarantee a well equipped teacher for each and every class room in the public schools of the state. The biennial budget requests for the years 1948-50 have been prepared and presented to the governor and his advisory committee on the Legislative budget. High lighting the requests are:

1. More adequate salaries for faculty and staff and provision for several new faculty members.

2. A new auditorium-music building. The proposed building will contain an assembly hall seating nearly 1,400 and adequate class rooms and practice rooms for an en- larged and improved music department. This year individual and small group

voice instruction has been made available and it is hoped that an orchestra and band may be organized during the session. Alumnae should not forget that I have challenged them to a race to see whether they can raise the $25,000.00 for

the Jarman organ before I secure the funds for the auditorium-music building

in which to place it!

3. Funds for renovating and remodeling some of the older dormitories. 4. Funds for the new science hall to house the departments of biology, chemistry and physics, general science, and a greenhouse.

Already the training school building is being completely remodeled. This work should be completed at an early date. Longwood has been reopened this fall and is being operat- ed by a new hostess for the convenience of the students, faculty and people of the com- munity. Building upon sound foundations, we believe that with the loyal and enthusiastic sup- port of the alumnae, we are now in a position to envision a great future for the college as an important unit in Virginia's system of Public Education.

*On November 15, 1947 State Teachers College at Farmville suffered an irreparable loss in the death of its beloved president-emeritus, Dr. Joseph L. Jarman. The Alumnae Bulletin had gone to press hence tributes to him will appear in the next issue.

ENTERED AS SECOND-CLASS MATTER NOVEMBER 12, 1914, AT THE POST OFFICE AT FARMVILLE, VIRGINIA, UNDER THE ACT OF AUGUST 24, 1912. Dear Alumnae:

Election to the presidency of our National Alumnae Association last year brought a feeling of pride and humility. Remembering those who have filled this position so graciously and ef- fectively since 1887, I recalled the words of General Lee as he assumed command of the Virginia Forces in 1861. He said, "I am pro- foundly impressed by the solemnity of the posi- tion. However I would have preferred your choosing an abler person. But—trusting in God, in an approving conscience and in the coopera- tion of my fellowmen, I devote myself to the service of the office." We are justly proud that our Alumnae had a part in influencing Dr. Lancaster to be- come our president. In one short year he has done much in raising standards in our College. He reminds us continually that as a teachers college the highest standards must be maintained. Therefore we must prove our loyalty by informing ourselves about all College affairs and especially about new aspirations and plans. We should be able to speak proudly and enthusiastically of our Alma Mater! We represent and interpret our College to the communities in which we live.

I wish each of you could have attended the first meeting of the Alumnae Council in Farmville October 24-25. The old Farmville Spirit was there, but many new construc- tive ideas were developed, which will be felt in our entire organization. This Council, which will meet annually, is composed of the executive board of the national association and a representative of each chapter. Fifteen chapters were represented this year which was a good start, but we want a larger chapter representation next year! Five suggestions that came out of this meeting are listed here as individual and chapter objectives:

1. A financially adequate Alumnae Office at Farmville. This is possible only through contributions of individuals and chapters. You will hear more about a new plan of having class agents solicit for funds.

2. Larger contributions to the Jarman Organ Fund, dear to the hearts of us all. 3. Increased membership in chapters and the organization of new chapters. Enlist undergraduates as well as graduates. 4. More loans and gift scholarships for promising students who need help. Contacts with your high school principal and the Dean at S.T.C. will help. 5. Frequent visits to Farmville, with especial effort to be there on Founders Day.

One glory of the College is her hospitality!

Our Alumnae Association is capable of great things—so let's work together for the College that has done so much for us! Faithfully yours, Maria Bristow Starke

That the thought of cooking is boresome.

I haven't time to cook a roast, rJor yet to put the ham on

I'll just cut up a celery staff

And mi.x it with some salmon.

February, 1948 Founder's Dav 1947

Founders Day, March 8, 1947, marked the sixty-third anniversary of the founding of our College. The attendance was small due to a snow which fell on Friday night, but most of the reunion classes were represented on the morning auditorium meeting. The Class of 1927 of which Virginia Potts Redhead was president, won the Jarman Atten- dance Cup. At the last Virginia could not come so Cornelia Dickinson Nuckols represent- ed this class.

Miss Virginia Bedford headed a faculty committee to work with the Alumnae Secre- tary to plan this day. The highlights included the Farmville Chapter coffee, the auditorium program, the buffet luncheon followed by the business meeting, the formal dinner in the College dining room, and the presentation of the Shakespearean play "The Taming of the Shrew" given by the S.T.C. Dramatic Club and the Hampden-Sydney Jongleurs under the direction of Miss Leola Wheeler. There was one real addition, however; Dr. and Mrs. Lancaster held "Open House" in the President's home from 4 to 5 p. m.

To the Alumnae this was a most delightful informal highlight of the Founders Day

Homecoming. Farmville is indeed most fortunate to have Mrs. Dabney Lancaster, a

Virginia lady, and a gracious hostess for the College.

FebruarYj 1948 31 GRANDDAUGHTER'S CLUB

In the fall of 1926 the first organization of the Granddaughters was effected. They, whose mothers had been loyal daughters of our Alma Mater, banded themselves together to uphold the College ideals and standards which their mothers had helped to establish. This year there are ninety-nine members of this club,—thirty-four new members and sixty-five old ones. We are justly proud of these girls and their loyal mothers!
