Change. "Everything seems to be changing so fast." We hear those words rather often on the Agnes Scott campus these days. That

is not to say that "things" are not different in one way or another. The buildings are being transformed. There are new faces on campus among the wonderful familiar ones. And yes, the calendar will be different next year. The semester calendar will provide students and faculty with two long periods of time rather than three short periods to work together on that extraordinary and slightly mystical activity known as the

teaching' learning process. 1 believe they will discover that, even though they are busy, they will feel more relaxed under the semester system. Furthermore, freshmen (as well as those of the other classes who choose to do so) who begin their study for their degree this fall will do so under a new scheme of basic requirements designed to assure their competence in basic skills, their exposure to a choice of broad areas of subject matter, and their expertise in a chosen major.

though I experienced Agnes Scott as a student nearly 20 years ago, 1 find that numerous thoughts crowd my mind as I contemplate how to give other alumnae and triends oi the College my impressions ot how we at the College — faculty, administrators, and trustees — view changes already underway and those planned

in the academic program. 1 am immediately reminded of an adage in French, "Plus ^a change, plus c'est la meme chose." Roughly translated, the saying suggests, "the more things change, the more they stay the same." The French person who coined this adage had, 1 believe, a healthy sense of Gallic cynicism. As applied to Agnes Scott, however, this proverb assumes a decidedly '67 positive tone.

An overhaul of the entire system of requirements was not necessary, but reconceptualiiation seemed to be.

The committee first addressed the conceptualization of categories. They settled upon three standards for the new set ot requirements: Specific, Distributional and Depth. The Specific Standards insure a student's competence in specific skills necessary to prepare her to have a successful college career. Distributional Standards introduce a student to the ways of

AGNES SCOTT ALUMNAE MAGAZINE 191 Burkina Faso& Agnes Scott

The Global Awareness program connects the College

with a country poor In resources and rich in love.

By Gary Gunderson and Lynn Donham , J....

Toward the end of a sleepy presidential election in 1984, the Western media "discovered" the African famine. A BBC crew brought hack jarring footage of widespread starvation, and suddenly hunger was in our living rooms, facing us at dinner each evening. We had to do something. The celebrated relief efforts followed and so did more TV crews. Those for whom the drought was not news wondered what would happen when media interest waned. Would public interest fade, too? Not in Decatur. Here, and at Agnes Scott, the network coverage and a local TV crew's visit to Burkina Faso (Upper Volta) triggered the start of a sister-city relationship with two Burkina communities. Building on a six-year Burkina-University of Georgia project and a link with SEEDS (a Decatur-based magazine and hunger education ministry), Agnes Scott joined Decatur Mayor Mike Mears to begin a long-term friendship with Burkina Faso. President Ruth Schmidt and Director of Global Awareness John Studstill set out for Burkina last October with UGA's Darl Snyder, SEEDS Director Gary Gunderson, and six other Decaturites. "What we found in the dust of northern Burkina Faso was not so much 'hunger' as people with too BURKINA FASO little food, not so much 'poverty' as friends without resources, not so much 'hope' as people who will not give up," said Mike Meats. "We want to be part of this." AFRICA The Agnes Scott involvement has been pivotal. As Mike Meats said, "The college's participation provides us with a sense ot credibility, not just in the eyes of the Burkinabe, hut in our own. Here's a longstanding institutional anchor for the city Old Friends saying 'this is worth doing' in the most eloquent way possible — by Agnes Scott and Burkina Faso have other connections going." _ beside sister cities.

She used her work in biology at Agnes Scott and a master's degree in plant ecology to help with the forestry program in North Burkina. Recently she has joined the wildlife management program in the southern part of the country.

She and husband, Allen, first met in Niger as Peace Corps volunteers in 1974, and they both did graduate research in Mali as part John Stutistill used all his linguistic skills as of studies at Purdue University.

That is one of the reasons we are a distinctive college. We exist for that process in which women come to self-possession.

In tact, the word "art" is the usual translation for the Greek word techne — which covers both fine arts and crafts, and some other activities as well. Techne is the root of our own words "technology" and "technique," and it means basically a kind of mastery or skill. The liberal arts are the mastery, the skill or the craft of being a free person.

Following the reading, the principal made a long speech. When the ceremony was finally over, we turned toward the flag with its crimson circle on a white rectangle. As a teacher gave a signal, we sang the grave war anthem with the brass accompaniment. I liked the beautiful, solemn melody. The words had been written in the classical Japanese style by a warrior poet many centuries ago. Many younger children, and perhaps some of my classmates, did not know the meaning of the poem because some of its language was archaic. But I knew what I was sing- ing. The poem went like this:

mination to "have it all." After years of shuttling between her native Georgia and New York, she decided: Why not both a medical

career and a family ? Why not practice psychiatry, instead of those disciplines then considered "suitable" for women — obstetrics or pediatrics? Dr. Ruth Janet Pirkle Berkeley 72 never knew she was decades ahead of her time.

She still doesn't. Now designated a New York State Qualified Psychia-

trist, she may both teach psychiatry and treat patients. Among a hatful

of other medical affiliations is her certification by the American Medi- cal Association through 1987, based on her awareness of new develop- ments in her field. She conducts an active, specialized practice in psy- choanalytically-oriented psychotherapy. Not bad for an 87-year-old.

116 WINTER 1986 PRESIDE REPORT

This year our renewal continued to gain momentum as we moved toward our Centennial Celebration. The Admissions Office had a strong year, helped in part by an award-winning series of admissions materials

and a dynamic recruitment plan aimed at improving all phases of admissions activity. As a result, senior inquiries rose 8 percent this year, applications 5 percent and freshman deposits were up 16 percent. One hundred and forty-four students enrolled in the Class of 1990. A formal assessment of student attitudes conducted during the year showed student satisfaction at Agnes Scott surpassed that of students at other private and public colleges in almost all areas covered by the study.

During the year the College further enhanced the quality of life on campus as

it undertook a $3.6 million renovation of Agnes and Rebekah Scott Halls. Forty-five

years after its scheduled removal, "The Hub" was taken down, and landscaping plans are being developed for the George and Irene King Woodruff Quadrangle. A new track and field completed phase one of plans which include construction of the new physical activities building by fall 1987. The old gymnasium will be renovated and, with the former infirmary, converted into the Wallace McPherson Alston Campus Center. For the fourth consecutive year, the investment performance of Agnes Scott's endowment ranked in the highest percentile of all college and university endowments. It has been a full and rewarding year for Agnes Scott, and we are grateful. We

look forward with you to watching the College continue to fulfill its promise as we anticipate our second century. President Ruth A.
