Both teams are rated better than last year when Erskine upset Rollins 19-9 in an early contest in 1947. This year their play was evenly matched until the Tars hit their winning stride in the third quarter to strike pay dirt and continued to threaten the Erskine goal line until the final whistle. A record pre-college year turnout left the Orlando Stadium on the night of September 24 well satisfied of Tar Skipper McDowall's special talent for fielding smart fighting teams. As this copy goes to press, Rollins football fans are moving south en masse for the second Tar invasion of the University of Miami Hurri- canes since the war. Although no one ever knows how good a football team is until after the last game, the consensus seems to be that Jack McDowall has one of his better elevens. Twenty-six letter men are on hand, which forms a strong nucleus. If some of last year's freshmen develop as Jack hopes, the Tars will give plenty of headaches to so-called bigger teams. The big tests come early in the season. After the University of Miami contest, the Tars take a week off before battling the Florida Gators in Gainesville on Saturday night, Oct. 16. Dopesters assert this is Coach Ray Wolf's year, which may be bad news for the Tars. But don't count Rollins out. McDowall is pointing for this one, and he has become famous for his upsets. Rollins College will probably move over to Gainesville that day. Tough Presbyterian comes to Orlando the following week and then the Tars go to Delaware to meet Ohio Wesleyan on Nov. 6 in the only afternoon game on our 1948 schedule. This will be Ohio Wesleyan's Homecoming game and marks our renewal of grid relations with the Methodist institution, which were interrupted last fall. The Tars have been well matched with the Bishops in past years. This game will give Rollinsites in the mid-west a chance to see the Tars in action, and meet a lot of old friends they have not seen since leaving College. Dean Enyart, an old OWU Alumnus, is sure to be there! Plans for our own Homecoming on Nov. 26 are already in the blue- print stage. Make your hotel reservations and get your tickets NOW lor the 1948 version of the old Rollins-Stetson football rivalry. A Tar- Hatter engagement is sure to produce some spectacular football. The Rollins ATHLETIC OFFICE is handling tickets for all home games. Kick-off time in the Orlando Stadium is 8:00 p.m., and reserved seats are again priced at #2.40 and #1.80 there. Tickets for out-of-town games can be purchased at the gates. The Tars play one of their toughest schedules in 1948 but don't sell 'em short! MISS TREAT MADE REGISTRAR EMERITUS OF ROLLINS THREE NEW FACULTY JOIN FALL ROSTER Miss Anna B. Treat, Registrar at Rollins since 1936, retired last June. A native of Milwaukee, Wis., Miss Treat graduated from Mil- waukee-Downer Seminary. After attending Milwaukee-Downer Col- lege for 2 years, she transferred to Smith College, from which she was graduated with an A.B. degree. She was associated with her sister in Miss Treat's School for Girls, a pri- vate school in Milwaukee. She later moved to Maitland, Fla., where she was tax assessor for that town. She was an outstanding charter member of the Orlando-Winter Park Branch of A.A.U.W. and secretary-treasur- er of the Fla. Assn. of Colleges and Universities. Miss Treat joined the Rollins staff in 1927, becoming As- sistant Registrar in 1928. During Founder's Week in 1945, the Rol- lins Decoration of Honor was Registrar Emeritus Anna B. Treat awarded to Miss Treat. To quote from a resolution the Rollins Faculty passed last May in tribute to Miss Treat: "In her own field she has exerted the fruitful influence of the classroom, in teaching faculty and students alike the vir- tues of wise understanding, dedication to one's work and high standards of achievement. It would be difficult to measure her contribution in the academic integrity of the College." (Continued on page 6) The ROLLINS ALUMNI RECORD VOL.

ROLLINS ALUMNI JOIN OTHERS AT MacJANNET CAMPS TO AID FRENCH AND INTERNATIONAL UNDERSTANDING by JOHK O. RICH '38 Since the liberation of Europe, friendship and material aid have flowed in a con- tinuous stream from the rich source of American youth to their needier French com- rades. The Macjannet Committee was among the first of the smaller agencies to make it possible for young Americans to go to France to take some share in aiding the children of that country. During the last 3 summer sessions over 80 young people from the United States, students and educators, through the agency of this committee have had the privilege of traveling in Europe, of making lasting friendships with the cream of French youth, and best of all, of bringing light and happiness to several hundred needy French children. Before the war, the Macjannet Camps at Talloires on the lovely Lac d'Annecy in the French Alps of Haute Savoie were an important center of education and recrea- tion for American children whose parents were established in France and in Europe. The sons and daughters of diplomats and businessmen, of artists, singers, and writers, whose work brought them to France, spent their summers in this beautiful spot, where Grace Terry Marshall '37, Emily Showalter May '39 and Mila Gibbons Gardner of Rollins have served as counselors. During the occupation of France, Donald R. Mcjannet placed the camps at the disposal of the American Quakers for the duration of the war, during which they served continuously as a refuge for hundreds of homeless and lost children. Since the war, however, the Macjannet Camps have served in the reconstruction of France in a most unusual way. They have also been a means whereby volunteer American coun- selors, serving alongside French camp counselors, might aid needy French children and learn much while doing a satisfying and stimulating piece of international service. Mr. Macjannet returned to France in 1945 to prepare the camps for this new role. He saw the camp as a nucleus for American aid to needy French boys and girls of camping age. A committee composed of interested persons, American and French, was formed. The late Mrs. Homer Gage, donor of the French building at Rollins, was an active member of this committee.
