Double Celebration SECOND JOHNSTON TWOSOME AT SW Homecoming~ Parents~ Day~ Oct. 27 The fall's two major events, Homecoming and Parents' Day, will be combined this year in one large economy-size celebration on Saturday, Oct. 27. Unification of the two will effect a tremendous saving in travel time for the increasing number of alumni who are also parents and like to attend both events - and a saving in valuable class time, for one holiday allows students and professors a free day for both events, with ample time for visiting. Another innovation this year which promiseS to be a popular one is the post-game party, including supper in the Park Tower Clubroom, 57 N. Somerville. Homecoming will go on into the eve ning as alumni gather here to celebrate and reminisce. Homecoming and Parents' Day separately have drawn several hundred in past years, so probably more than a thousand will attend the combined program, plus many who come through the campus just to see the fraternity and sorority lawn decorations, which are artistically and ingeniously executed on elaborate scales each year. They can be viewed from 10 a.m. on through the day and the public is invited to see them.

Dr. John Henry Davis, chairman of the Department of The department, through the years, has been \\·illing to try History, says this of his subject and its handling at Southwestern: new techniques: for example, the combined course in Bible, his tory and philosophy entitled Man In The Light of History and History has a mediating role. It has aspects of both an art R eligion has been an attempt to de\·elop both general inter and a science. and is at the same time considered one of the departmental and team teaching.

Thus new courses have been designed to meet this need.
D R. JOH:-1 HENRY DAns, de\·il-may-care dresser and e\·ery-inch-the-Rhodes-Scholar \\·ho is one of Southwest ern's most belO\·ed campus characters, bills himself mod estly as "faculty marshal and public orator for emeriti."
Actually, his marshalling and leading of academic pro cessions on sta tP occasions and his distinguished perform ance in bringing high comedy relief into fare\,·ell addresses honoring retiring colleagues have been among the least of his faculty responsibilities and services.
He is one of the originators of both the tutorial system and the ":.fan" course and edits the "Man" syllabus. He has made substantial contributions to many faculty com mittees over the years and serves currently as chairman of two, the committees on fine arts and on honors and tutorial courses.
A nati\·e of Lexington, Ky., Dr. Davis received his B.A. degree at the L'ni\·ersity of Kentucky, took both B.A. and :.f.A. degrees at Oxford Uni\-ersity as a Rhodes Scholar, and later earned his Ph.D. at the University of Chicago, doing his thesis on Robert Harley, secretary of state and prime minister under Queen Anne. English history has remained his special field of interest.
He takes pleasure in pursuit of a variety of hobbies golf, painting (his chef d"oeu\Te being the mural in his kitchen featuring medieval knights and monks) , music, and a leisurely study of Russian-and is a dedicated worker in scholarly, religious, and civic organizations. He is a past president of Phi Beta Kappa, president of the West Ten nessee Historical Society, a perpetual deacon at St. Mary's Cathedral, and a member of the board of trustees of both the :..femphis Public Affairs Forum and the Memphis Academy of Arts.
His published works include a History of St. Mary's Ca thedral and Richard Lodge as Historian. 6 • Dr. Granville D . Davis is a double title holder at Southwestern-dean of continuing education and professor of American history. In the former capacity he heads one of the nation's leading centers for adult education. In the latter he teach es American history to undergraduates and serves on the " Man" faculty. _ Although the Civil War period has been his principal area of research, his interests range from the ancient world to the planning of modern cities. H e is offering a new course this year entitled "Intellectual History of the nited States," which he terms a study of "the interaction between the time and the idea." During the past summer he conducted the Adult Education Center's first Seminar Abroad, touring Greece and the Holy Land with a group of Memphians who had been studying the history and culture of these areas at meetings during the previous year. Dr. Davis is immediate past president of the Memphis and Shelby County H ealth and Welfare Planning Council and current vice president of the Rotary Club. H e holds the A.B. from the U niversity of Arkansas, where he was a Phi Beta Kappa, the A.M. and Ph.D. from the University of Illinois.
Dr. Franklin M . Wright, a native of Iowa, became acquainted with Southwestern while assigned to the Second Army H eadquarters in Memphis during World War II, re turned as a Southwestern faculty member in 1956, and is now associate professor of history. He received both B.A. and M.A. degrees from Cornell, where he was a Phi Beta Kapea, was a Fulbright Scholar for two years at the Institute of Historical Research of the Uni versity of London, and received his Ph.D. at Johns Hopkins. H e is presently working on the conversion of his doctoral thesis dealing with Richard Plantaganet, Third Duke of York, into a biography. Dr. Wright's special interest is in European history and his hobbies encompass music, (he sings baritone in the St. Mary's Cathedral choir) inscriptive writing, and collecting Roman imperial coins, prints of the great caricaturists of the 18th century, and the works of Mozart.
John M . H emphill II, assistant professor of history, began his higher education as an engineering student at Georgia Tech, continued it briefly as a midshipman at the aval Academy during World War II, and shifted both subject and locale following the war, graduating from Johns Hopkins in 1948. H e has since received his M.A. and is completing work for his Ph.D . at Princeton. H e studied for two years as a Ful bright Scholar at King's College of the University of London, spent a summer in Sweden with the Experiment in Inter national Living, worked on historical research for Colonial Williamsburg, Inc. for five years, and meanwhile taught part time at both Princeton and William and Mary. H e is now at work on his doctoral dissertation entitled "Economic Devel opment of Virginia under the British Commercial System." In the picture with. him is a microfilm reader which he uses extensively in studying 18th century documents. Mr. H emphill has had articles published in several scholarly periodicals and has one forthcoming entitled "Study of the 18th Century Book Bindings in Virginia." 7 W FACULTY IN THE NEWS .llr.
