XVI JUNE, 1922 NO. 3 Literary Number A SABBATH BLESSING · Beneath this fragrant pine where I must resf May I be blest, While overhead the. birds their chorus raise In Sabbath praise ! Into some upper chamber of my heart I'll draw apart, And there in sweet remembrance of His name His peace I'll claim. Daily for me He breaks the living bread And I am fed, My cup of blessing overflows the brim Glad thanks to Him. But should I ever find my Olivet, Could I forget That there my Master deathless victory won­ 'l'hy will be done ! My times I know are in His hands alway I'll trust today, And let a Sabbath blessing fall on me From fragrant tree. GRACE CoBURN SMITH. 280 SIGMA KAPPA TRIANGLE "KENNEBEC" AND OTHER POEMS BY LOUISE HELEN COBURN AN IMPRESSION Wandering one day on the wooded banks of a gently flow­ ing stream, I saw the birds dart from limb to limb, or startled fly from the ground to a place of safety in the tree-tops, utter­ ing their faint twitters of joy or fear. Little did I heed these winged songsters till, lo, a note of limpid sweetness fell upon my ear. The note swelled into a song which thrilled my heart. It made me forget my care and rejoice with the thru~h. I knew then that life was worth living, and that God made the world and it was good. Such a feeling comes to one when one finds among the walks of life a singer who sees the beauty in all around us, who feels the heart-throbs of life, and who catches a vision of the truth of things as they really are. The impression is even stronger when the song comes from the heart of a friend, revealing depths of thought and feeling that before had been hidden in the soul of the singer. Then our hearts go out in gladness which our dumb lips are unable to express. Such was the impression that Louise Helen Coburn's poems made upon her friends. You, who know that the author was in her college days one of the Founders of Sigma Kappa, are prepared to expect something of merit and you will not be disappointed. Sister Coburn has never posed as a poet, but from the richness of her life has given us these poems as the natural flowering of native genius combined with truest culture. 'fhe poems all are lyrical, expressing the writer's thoughts and feelings concerning the things that most vitally interest her. She does not essay merely to please the fancy by rhyme and rhythm, but with perfect harmony she expresses in simple verse the sentiments awakened in

    A HISTORY OF THE CONFERENCES OF DEANS OF WOMEN, 1903-1922 Janice Joyce Gerda A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY December 2004 Committee: Michael D. Coomes, Advisor Jack Santino Graduate Faculty Representative Ellen M. Broido Michael Dannells C. Carney Strange ii „ 2004 Janice Joyce Gerda All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Michael D. Coomes, Advisor As women entered higher education, positions were created to address their specific needs. In the 1890s, the position of dean of women proliferated, and in 1903 groups began to meet regularly in professional associations they called conferences of deans of women. This study examines how and why early deans of women formed these professional groups, how those groups can be characterized, and who comprised the conferences. It also explores the degree of continuity between the conferences and a later organization, the National Association of Deans of Women (NADW). Using evidence from archival sources, the known meetings are listed and described chronologically. Seven different conferences are identified: those intended for deans of women (a) Of the Middle West, (b) In State Universities, (c) With the Religious Education Association, (d) In Private Institutions, (e) With the Association of Collegiate Alumnae, (f) With the Southern Association of College Women, and (g) With the National Education Association (also known as the NADW). Each of the conferences is analyzed using seven organizational variables: membership, organizational structure, public relations, fiscal policies, services and publications, ethical standards, and affiliations. Individual profiles of each of 130 attendees are provided, and as a group they can be described as professional women who were both administrators and scholars, highly-educated in a variety of disciplines, predominantly unmarried, and active in social and political causes of the era.

    MELVENE DRAHEIM HARDEE: MUSIC MAKER AND DREAMER OF DREAMS Sally Evelyn Click A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY May 2009 Committee: Michael D. Coomes, Advisor Michael J. Zickar Graduate Faculty Representative Maureen E. Wilson Dafina L. Stewart © 2009 Sally Click All Rights Reserved i ABSTRACT Michael D. Coomes, Advisor Dr. Melvene Draheim Hardee, a higher education administrator, scholar, and leader spent her weekends tending to a 900‐acre Georgia pine tree farm. Born in Clarion, Iowa in 1913, she earned degrees at Iowa State Teachers College, Teachers College Columbia University, and the University of Chicago. The majority of her professional career played out at Florida State University where she first served as coordinator of counseling and later joined Dr. Hugh Stickler and Dr. Raymond Schultz as one of the original faculty members of the FSU higher education graduate preparation program. Between 1958 and 1989, she advised 120 doctoral students to the successful completion of their degrees and she advised and mentored many more master’s degree students. Hardee assumed leadership positions in several higher education professional organizations. This study sought to determine her contributions to the student affairs profession’s philosophical and practical development especially in light of her time in history, a time when women were underrepresented in leadership roles. Archival evidence was gleaned from two collections, the Melvene Draheim Hardee Papers housed in the National Student Affairs Archives located at Bowling Green State University in Ohio, and The Melvene Draheim Hardee Center for Women in Higher Education Collection housed by Florida State University Libraries.
