Sewanee News, 1971 y • \ Sewanee MARCH 1971 AOCh /o|.l7o ? — COVER: The Yearling is the title of this drawing by Anderson B. Carmichael, '58 (see also pp. 13, 14). Absorbed by the urgency for annual giving embodied in the Million Dollar Program, we gave the nod to this among Caimichael's magnificent drawings. We now find that a long-ago project dreamed up by cattlemen in Texas was the branding of yearlings with a cross to earmark them as gifts to Sewanee when they matured.

More than ninety per cent of the faculty and staff have already pledged. The average pledge was for more than fifty dollars this year. Students Surpass Alumni In a day when headlines tell of student riots, Sewa- nee can boast of students whose percentage of partici- pation in University fund-raising is higher than that of the alumni. More than thirty-two per cent of the students subscribed $21,972 for the Bishop's Common. The current drive for student participation in the Mil- lion Dollar Program is only about one-third completed but has a whopping eighty-three per cent participation among those approached. Active solicitation for gifts for the student center ceased on 31 August and the total amount subscribed is approximately $685,000 of which more than $215,000 in cash was given in 1970.

Baker Paul Mellon Lauder Greenway Nathan M. Pusey Charles S. Hamilton, Jr. Stoddard M. Stevens Oficers Charles S. Hamilton, Jr. President Albert O'B. Andrews Vice President and Secretary Kenneth J. Herr Treasurer and Assistant Secretary General Counsel Sullivan & Cromwell ON June 30, I969 Old Dominion Foundation was merged into Avalon Foundation and the name of the latter changed to The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. Avalon Foundation had been founded by Ailsa Mel- lon Bruce on December 26, I940 as a common law charitable trust. In I954 it was incorporated under the Membership Corporations Law of the State of New York. Old Dominion Foundation had been established in I94I by Paul Mellon under the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia. The two individuals were the children of Andrew W. Mellon, Secretary of the Treasury from I92I to I932, and later Ambassador to the Court of St. James's. Total assets of The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation at December 31, I970 approximated $697,8I8,000 at market value and $60I,257,000 at book value. During I970, the Foundation received substantial distribu- tions from certain trusts established by Ailsa Mellon Bruce who died on August 25, I969. It is possible that there may be further distributions in the future of a relatively more minor nature from such trusts and also from Mrs.

MELLON: FOUNDER AND BENEFACTOR c_1_Mellon_7-19_BLUEPRINTS_2107.indd 2 06/10/16 16:55 Andrew W. Mellon: Founder and Benefactor PRINCE OF Andrew W. Mellon’s life spanned the abolition of slavery and PITTSBURGH invention of television, the building of the fi rst bridge across the Mississippi and construction of Frank Lloyd Wright’s Fallingwater, Walt Whitman’s Leaves of Grass and Walt Disney’s Snow White, the Dred Scott decision and the New Deal. Mellon was born the year the Paris Exposition exalted Delacroix and died the year Picasso painted Guernica. The man was as faceted as his era: an industrialist, a fi nancial genius, and a philanthropist of gar- gantuan generosity. Born into prosperous circumstances, he launched several of America’s most profi table corporations. A venture capitalist before the term entered the lexicon, he became one of the country’s richest men. Yet his name was barely known outside his hometown of Pittsburgh until he became secretary of the treasury at an age when many men retire. A man of myriad accomplishments, he is remem- bered best for one: Mellon founded an art museum by making what was thought at the time to be the single largest gift by any individual to any nation. Few philan- thropic acts of such generosity have been performed with his combination of vision, patriotism, and modesty. Fewer still bear anything but their donor’s name. But Mellon stipulated that his museum be called the National Gallery of Art.

  • Times and Marks for USC Track Athletes 1894 to 2018 INTRODUCTION
    USC TRACK & FIELD Times and marks for USC Track Athletes 1894 to 2018 INTRODUCTION This supplement booklet to the media guide is my effort to document every athlete who competed for the University of Southern California Track Team. Needless to say, I know everyone is not listed, but I did try. This booklet is a free download, but if you really like what you see here, I/we (Trojan Force) would be more than happy to accept any donation you’d like to send. That info will be at the end of this introduction. WHERE TO START? I wrestled with how to organize all this data knowing that the next person would have chosen a different format. But here it is, such as it is. With a men AND a women’s program we’re looking at some 6,000+ names who can be accounted for that competed for USC. This number doesn’t take into account all the relays as there are names on some of the relay teams that did not show up in any other results that I was able to find. Every effort was made to find a mark or time for every track athlete, but this just wasn’t possible. Athletes listed with no marks or times were the 2nd and 3rd place finishers in posted meet results. This booklet covers the years 1894 to 2018 for the men; the women’s supplement is still being “written” and I hope to have it done by the end of summer 2018. The early marks were gathered from posted results in the newspaper and the El Rodeo yearbook.
