from the president Excitement is building as we continue the countdown to Wesleyan’s 175th Anniversary.

How will you honor the “oldest and best” on December 23rd, the day of our founding – a mini reunion with classmates complete with a candle lighting ceremony and singing of our alma mater? Perhaps you will simply curl up and enjoy this issue of the Wesleyan Magazine, which highlights our history from cover to cover.

Our 175th Anniversary celebration began months ago on campus and has included dozens of lectures and cultural events. In August, the Wesleyan community welcomed several distinguished visitors to our Opening Convocation, the official start of the academic year. The event was spectacular, complete with a procession of flags from every country represented by our wonderful students.

Along with a proclamation from Macon Mayor Robert Reichert declaring September as Wesleyan College Month, we have received official letters of acknowledgment from President Barack Obama, Georgia Governor Nathan Deal, U.S. Senators Saxby Chambliss and Johnny Isakson, State Senator Cecil Staton, Georgia Representative Robert Dickey, plus Former Presidents George H. Bush and George W. Bush. All send hearty congratulations!

In September, we opened our 175th Anniversary Wesleyan Treasures exhibit.

This beautiful six-venue presentation includes paintings, sculpture, objects d’art, documents, photographs, and dresses from the College’s permanent and special collections. Wesleyan’s most important works of art, including several impressive examples of our restoration program, are displayed alongside more contemporary works and a selection of period dresses, historically significant documents and student essay books, archive photographs, and other

memorabilia celebrating Wesleyan’s history as the first college in the world chartered to grant degrees to women. You will see more about the exhibit in this issue.

Just last month, we were delighted by the talents of our students on stage in their production of Princess Ida, an operetta

by Gilbert & Sullivan. A rarely produced musical comedy about a young princess who is pledged to marry a handsome prince but instead decides to found a women’s university, this new adaptation honored Wesleyan’s 175th with humor and style. (My favorite line – “If you want to lead like Knox, study law, wear running socks!”) Then, we kicked off December with a special 175th Anniversary Holiday Concert, featuring our Concert Choir and the Wesleyannes, followed by a reception in Oval Hall complete with birthday cake and a toast to all things Wesleyan. This semester has been busy indeed – and worlds of fun!

Throughout our celebrations, we are ever grateful for all of you who make this Wesleyan experience possible. In the second half of this issue, we thank each of you who supported the College in Fiscal Year 2011 with your gifts for scholarships, endowment, special projects, and the Annual Fund. Please keep Wesleyan among your charitable giving priorities again this year. Together, we are helping to educate women of substance and action, women who lead and serve, and women who will continue to represent Wesleyan College well for the next 175 years. Now more than ever, I am confident in our quality, sure of our mission, and deeply honored to serve as your President. Thank you!

CelebratingW esleyan’s 175t Anniversary

Through the efforts of a visionary group of members and ministers of the Georgia Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church and Macon residents determined to offer women the same educational opportunities available only to men at the time, Wesleyan College was founded.

On December 23, 1836, the Legislature of the State of Georgia chartered the Georgia Female College. In 1836, a college for women was truly a radical idea.

We’ve said it so often that sometimes we forget the truth of that statement. From our vantage point in the twenty-first century, we can hardly imagine the challenges involved in such an undertaking. In 1836, Macon had been a town only for thirteen years. The first steamboat travel on the Ocmulgee River had taken place in 1829, just seven years earlier. Railroad travel was just getting started in Georgia.

1 Th r o u g h t h e Y e a r s 1836-1864 In November, 1836, the Georgia House of Representatives passed the bill to incorporate the Georgia Female College.

On Friday, December 23, 1836, the bill received its final passage.

In December, 1838, the College’s first building was completed: 160 feet long by 60 feet wide, with three story wings, and four stories high in the center, situated on four acres and enclosed with a neat and handsome fence.

Years would pass before Georgia had anything approaching universal public education, and the schools that were open were primarily available for boys – no girls allowed. In 1836, women were still eighty-four years away from having the right to vote. And yet, some trends were working in favor of such a bold idea.

Classes began January 7, 1939, with 90 students. Applicants had to pass examinations on orthography, reading, grammar, geography, and the four fundamental rules of arithmetic.

Something called the academy movement was going on, with approximately 108 academies existing in Georgia in 1829. These were rather like today’s two-year colleges, and most were for boys, but some were coeducational, and other female academies were founded and operated by women. Organized religion, particularly the Methodist Church with its emphasis on education, was in an intense period of growth.

“Whatever may be the ultimate fate of the enterprise - the design is good, the progress promising, and the prospect, as it looks out from the future, is gilded with the light of hope...

Time will soon determine whether the Georgia Female College is to be a monument, or a mockery,” said George Foster Pierce, first president of Wesleyan College, February, 1840.

After months of public debate, a combination of Methodist and local civic leaders came together, and the twenty-one original Trustees of the College presented their bill for incorporation to the Georgia House of Representatives in November of 1836. It was passed and signed into law on December 23, 1836.

Reverend George Foster Pierce, a highly regarded Methodist minister, was elected the first president of the Georgia Female College in 1838, and the doors opened on January 7, 1839. Ninety young women enrolled that first day, and the number increased to 168 by the end of the first term. Because some of the girls had attended Academy classes, there were students who entered at the level of first year, second year, and third year – no seniors that first session. But by the second year, eleven of these students had advanced to the fourth year, and in July of 1840, these eleven became Wesleyan’s first graduates.

The Skylight Club, circa 1920

The first graduation exercises were July 16, 1840. According to Catherine Brewer, the first student to graduate from Wesleyan College, “All were required to dress very plainly, eight yards of any material being sufficient for a dress.”

The Georgia Female College was turned over to the Methodist Conference in 1843 and renamed Wesleyan Female College in 1844.

First professorship in English Literature in America was established at Wesleyan Female College in 1844 (held by the Rev. Josiah Fletcher Andrew).

The early 1850s saw the founding of the first sororities for women: Alpha Delta Pi (begun as Adelphean Society, 1851), and Phi Mu (begun as Philomathean Society, 1852).

In 1855, Wesleyan President Osborne L. Smith stated his belief that public examinations served no valuable end and should be discontinued. The Board’s response was favorable.

The first alumnae association of a degree-granting college was founded at Wesleyan in 1860.

During the Civil War many colleges closed their doors.

Not one year of academic life was lost at Wesleyan, though classes were suspended for two weeks in November 1864, during Sherman’s march through Georgia.

Wesleyan survived early financial difficulties and opposition from those who did not approve of education for women. The College had been plagued by criticism that the cost of tuition and board was prohibitive for many. At its inception, the Trustees had set the cost for a year at $250, which included tuition of $100. Parents had to furnish the dormitory rooms assigned to their daughters. When the Trustees began to advertise for students in 1838, they were forced to reduce tuition first by $25 and then $50 and the cost of room and board from $150 to $120.

From the beginning the founders wanted the school to offer a true collegiate education and for the courses to parallel those of the all male Methodist counterpart in the state, Emory College at Oxford, Georgia. Girls who were at least fourteen years old could be admitted to the freshman class, fifteen years old to the sophomore class, sixteen years old to the junior class, and seventeen years old to the senior class.

Despite the fact that Trustees were forced to reduce entrance requirements in the beginning, they were determined to keep standards high; courses such as drawing, painting, and music were to be provided only if parents requested them and only offered when they did not interfere with more serious work. This was a remarkable goal at a time when the majority still thought women should remain silent and invisible outside the public domain and in the domestic sphere raising children and maintaining orderly households.

Many ministers were still quoting Paul’s Biblical instruction in I Corinthians 14: 34 & 35: “Women should remain silent in the churches.They are not allowed to speak, but must be in submission, as the law says. If they want to inquire about something, let them ask their husbands at home; for it is disgraceful for women to speak in church.” These and other Bible verses were being broadly interpreted to say women’s minds and emotions were not suited for business, politics and –– unfortunately –– for education.

But, thankfully, in Macon there were those who saw beyond these narrow views of women and their abilities. Wesleyan’s first president George Foster Pierce stated the view of the founders in his commencement address of July 16, 1840, when he said that the College was launching the graduates into a new life where: The removal of scholastic restraints may grant you redemption from irksome duties and an introduction to social life, but at the same time they give place to sterner demands and more onerous duties... High and holy ought to be the objects of your ambition… enlarged and vigorous your convictions of duty and moral requirement.

On this high note, the first women’s college in America conferred degrees on its first graduates. In 1843, the Georgia Conference of The United Methodist Church assumed greater responsibility and changed the name to Wesleyan Female College, shortened in 1917 to Wesleyan College, a name that honored the founder of Methodism, John Wesley.

By 1849, a total of one hundred young women had received diplomas. With an average class size of eleven, the form of learning was recitation, whereby a young woman would learn her lesson and go to class prepared to present the material orally. The daily schedule was very regimented. The bell rang at 6AM and girls were required to answer to roll call in the chapel at 6:30 or 7AM for morning prayers. At 8AM, breakfast was served; at 9AM and 11AM, the bell rang for recitation; at 12PM for dinner; at 2PM and 4PM for recitation; and lastly, at 5PM for evening prayers and dismissal.

The subjects listed in the curriculum were very ambitious when one considers the disagreement among educators about what was proper for women to study.

Historian Elizabeth Young, author of Disarming the Nation: Women’s Writing and the American Civil War, stated, “The president and trustees of the institution took up the task of arranging a curriculum at a time when it was considered by some a profanation of the word college to connect it with the education of women.”

As recently as 1835, the code of laws for Franklin College, later to become the University of Georgia, did not even allow women to be on the campus.

1 Th r o u g h t h e Y e a r s 1865-1962 Mary Eliza McKay graduated with Wesleyan’s Class of 1878 and became the first woman in Georgia to receive the Doctor of Medicine degree.

In 1880, renovation began for adding two wings and indoor plumbing and heating to the downtown building. The exterior facade changed from Greek Revival to Victorian with towers and a mansard roof.

At the turn of the century, athletics at Wesleyan consisted of a tennis court, a croquet set, and a large campus to walk on. In 1902, baseball and basketball were added and it was noted that, “still, we are as dignified as the students who attended college years ago.”

Ai-ling Soong enrolled as a sub-freshman in 1904, and was soon followed by her sisters, Ching-ling and May-ling. The Soong Sisters were the first Chinese women to be educated in America.

The Class of 1915 produced the first Veterropt (yearbook), named by senior student Evelyn Bettes. Veterropt is a combination for the Latin words for oldest and best.

During the years following World War I and World War II, when there was not enough space in colleges nationwide for returning veterans, Wesleyan’s fine arts programs were opened to men, and several men earned degrees during this phase.

In 1917 the word “Female” was eliminated from the title, and the school assumed its present name of Wesleyan College.

Property in Rivoli was purchased in January, 1923.

Fundraising chairman Orville A. Park proclaimed, “God must have selected the site at Rivoli and set it aside... It is ideal...not for the next ten years, but for the next century.”

Classes on the new campus began in 1928.

The first formal inauguration of a college president in Georgia was Wesleyan’s Dr. Dice Robins Anderson in 1932.

Adelaide Su-Lin Chen Young graduated with the Class of 1933, and would become the first American woman explorer to enter the rugged Tibetan-Himalayan area. She was part of the expeditions that led to the arrival of the first giant pandas in the United States.

In 1938, Hazel Jane Raines, Class of 1936, became the first woman in Georgia to be issued a commercial pilot’s license.

The first woman chair of the Press Institute of the Georgia Press Association, Adelaide Wallace Ponder, graduated with Wesleyan’s Class of 1946.

Conservatory programs joined with Rivoli campus in 1953.

In 1953, Neva Jane Langley Fickling, Class of 1955, became Georgia’s first and only Miss America.

One of the earliest outlines of the curriculum can be found in a pamphlet, “Circular of the Georgia Female College for the Session of 1842-43.” It listed in great detail what was to be undertaken each year including arithmetic, grammar, geography, composition, algebra, history, rhetoric, and chemistry. Throughout their course of study the girls worked very closely with their instructors. In fact, faculty members lived in the same buildings with students to ensure their security and to supervise their progress. It was customary to have oral examinations at graduation and to present a composition.

Life at Wesleyan was not all work and no play, however, as one might imagine from the regimen. Students enjoyed walks into town and to church and sitting on the steps talking with each other. They consumed numerous treats together such as molasses candy, saucers of strawberries, and ice cream. There was an ice cream shop in Macon they frequented and even an ice cream wagon that came up to the school. There were fireplaces in each room and the girls enjoyed making fires, talking, and “cooking cheese.” Also, students would often play a game called Gaces. On the front lawn they played a game called simply “base and thirdman,” probably something like baseball or softball.

From this camaraderie at Wesleyan the first women’s sororities developed. The first society called the Adelphian Society was established in 1851 (and later became Alpha Delta Pi). The second Greek sorority, the Philomathean Society, was formed in 1852 (and later became Phi Mu).

An interest in former students became apparent by 1858, when Wesleyan’s Trustees adopted a resolution that “the faculty be requested to take into consideration the propriety of having a meeting of the alumnae at the next commencement.”

An organizational meeting of alumnae took place on July 11, 1859, at Macon’s Mulberry Street Methodist Church. In July 1860, during commencement week, the first annual reunion was held –– and thus was established the first alumnae association of a degree-granting college.

From 1838 to 1860, the College operated from the original Georgian structure on College Street, with few modifications. In 1860, a separate chapel was built on the campus and later named Pierce Chapel after George Foster Pierce. In the 1880s, the College received a windfall gift from New Yorker George Seney and began the first major expansion of its campus. By 1900, the original building was expanded and transformed into a new Victorian-styled structure. Renovations included improvements to the interior and exterior of Pierce Chapel as well.

In 1928, Wesleyan built a new and larger campus, located six miles northwest in an area of Macon called Rivoli, and moved the Liberal Arts College from its original College Street site to the new Rivoli suburban campus. The historic College Street building continued to house the School of Fine Arts, which consisted of the Conservatory of Music and the departments of art, theatre, and speech. In the mid 1950s, Wesleyan merged its Conservatory and School of Fine Arts with the Rivoli campus and permanently closed its downtown site. In 1963, the original Wesleyan College building, along with the original Pierce Chapel, was destroyed by fire.

Today, Wesleyan continues to be a pioneer in women’s education. Since our founding in 1836 as the first college in the world for women, the Wesleyan experience has been built on four cornerstones: academic excellence, a dedication to women’s education, a foundation of faith, and engagement with the community in life-long service to others. Wesleyan has remained in continuous existence even through wartime. It is estimated that Wesleyan has graduated nearly 10,500 women to date, who have served and continue to serve their communities, churches, and professions as doctors, scientists, lawyers, ministers, musicians, missionaries, artists, veterinarians, teachers, and avid volunteers.

Among them are women who – like Wesleyan College itself –– have not only made history but also changed history for future generations, like the first woman in Georgia to receive the Doctor of Medicine degree, the first to argue a case before the Georgia Supreme Court, the first to be issued a commercial pilot’s license, the first woman lieutenant governor of Florida, first woman elected to the Tennessee legislature, and first woman to be appointed poet laureate of state of North Carolina.

1 Th r o u g h t h e Y e a r s 1963-2011 The “Old Wesleyan” building on College Street and Pierce Chapel were destroyed by fire on February 23, 1963.

The first woman Staff Director for the U.S. House Ways and Means Committee and first woman to serve in the roles of Democratic Chief Counsel and Chief Tax Counsel, Janice A. Mays, graduated with Wesleyan’s Class of 1973.

In 1976 the Rotary Club of Macon, in conjunction with Wesleyan, initiated the first Rotary International Intern Program.

Charlene Payne Kammerer, Class of 1970, became the first woman to be ordained Bishop of the Southeastern Jurisdiction of the United Methodist Conference in 1996.

The campus underwent extensive renovations and additions in 1999. Additions included Elizabeth Turner Corn Hall and Ernest & Pauline Pierce Corn Hall student apartment buildings and the Mathews Athletic Complex including tennis courts, softball and soccer fields, athletic center and running track. The equestrian center (dedicated as the Nancy Ellis Knox Equestrian Center in 2004) was expanded.

Aunt Maggie’s Kitchen Table, an outreach initiative of the Lane Center, was awarded the inaugural Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter Campus-Community Partnership Award in 2000.

Through the efforts of the Wesleyan College Alumnae Association, the entire Wesleyan Rivoli Campus was designated the Wesleyan College Historic District on April 2, 2004, and is now listed in the National Register of Historic Places.

In 2005, award-winning poet Kathryn Stripling Byer, Class of 1966, became the first woman to be appointed poet laureate of North Carolina.

In August of 2007, Wesleyan College opened the $12.5 million Munroe Science Center, the first new academic building on campus since 1964.

In January of 2011, Wesleyan re-opened the newly renovated Taylor Hall, Wesleyan’s former science facility, which now contains the best features of the building’s original 1928 design paired with 21st century technology, mechanical systems, and furnishings. Taylor Hall is the first Gold LEED-certified project in Macon, Georgia.

In honor of the College’s 175th Anniversary, Macon Mayor Robert Reichert issued a proclamation declaring September, 2011, as Wesleyan College Month.

The Centennial Celebration of 1936 As we celebrate Wesleyan’s 175th Anniversary, we also remember the College’s legendary Centennial celebration in 1936. Not many alumnae are still living who participated in that grand event, but by all accounts the word “spectacle” is somehow inadequate to describe it.

The weekend began with a Friday night banquet at the fashionable Dempsey Hotel in downtown Macon attended by more than 700 alumnae. The next day was the annual alumnae meeting. Members of the Class of 1870, all of whom would have been about eighty-seven years old, served as the special candle-lighters who inducted the seniors of 1936 into the Alumnae Association.

Following a special alumnae luncheon, a pageant took place –– unlike anything seen on Wesleyan’s campus before or since. At the time, the new Rivoli campus was just eight years old. The area between Porter Gymnasium and Olive Swann Porter Student Center was a grassy field and actually served as the soccer field. A Greek-like temple was built just for this Centennial occasion on the site where Porter Family Fine Arts Building stands now. The narrator that day was Dorothy Blount Lamar from the Class of 1883. The script was written by Jenny Loyall, Class of 1912, and was based on a famous speech made by Daniel Chandler in 1835 at the University of Georgia – a widely circulated speech that argued for women’s education and is credited with setting the stage for the idea of a college for women.

A pageant, by definition, is an elaborate affair. This one illustrated a dramatic vision of Wesleyan’s story through dance and fabulous costumes. First came the slow Dance of Ignorance –– a portrayal of the unhappy state of women’s education in 1835.

Next was the Procession of Representatives, in full regalia, of the sixty-one colleges in existence in 1835 (and, according to the program, “not one –– be it said to the disgrace of the nation –– dedicated to the cause of female education”). Then paraded figures dressed to represent Custom, Science, Wealth, Learning, Power, and Legislation, all of whom derided the symbolic Dream of Women’s Education in the Dance of Scorn. Next came a series of Famous Women of History in brilliantly colored costumes.

Then came the reenactment of the Granting of Wesleyan’s charter and the triumphant entry of the symbolic figure of Wesleyan College; that role was played by Linda Anderson Lane, Class of 1919, dressed beautifully in a white gown and a flowing purple cloak. The pageant went on with the Dance of Hope. Scenes from Wesleyan’s history were reenacted, including girls portraying the first eleven graduates.

The Atlanta Alumnae Club dressed as the charter members of the first Alumnae Association in the world. Wesleyan students danced the Dance of Triumph.

Finally, the grand finale was the Procession of the Years, a parade of more than 300 alumnae dressed in period costumes of

every year since Wesleyan’s founding. All in all, thousands gathered on the campus to watch this spectacle unfold. Police at the time estimated that there were 5,000 cars on campus. But the weekend wasn’t over.

In the early 1900s, Alumnae Weekend and Commencement exercises took place during the same weekend. During the Centennial celebration, the Baccalaureate service took place in the Macon City Auditorium on Sunday morning. Over 4,000 people attended –– including the students and faculty of Mercer University. The weekend concluded with Commencement on Monday morning –– on the downtown College Street site in the historic Pierce Chapel.

Letters and telegrams poured in to the College from well wishers around the world and later from scores of those who had been here to witness the most amazing celebration in local history. There was even an article in the New York Times. One of those letters came from President Franklin Delano Roosevelt and included this message: “While Wesleyan College is to be congratulated on the great achievements of its past, it is to be felicitated even more on the opportunities for service in the centuries ahead. May I congratulate the officers, the faculty, and the students of Wesleyan College. May you find in your heritage not only satisfaction but also inspiration to even greater future service.”

“Poverty is not the worse evil that can befall us. I now realize what I have always thought that Dr. Franklin was right when he said, ‘If a man (or woman) empties his purse into his head, no man can take it away from her. An investment of knowledge pays the best interest.’ The enemy can take all else – Thank God they cannot deprive me of education.”

The history of Wesleyan’s “treasures” – paintings, prints, photographs, sculptures, furniture, musical instruments, costumes, objects d’art, documents, and embroideries – hails to the beginnings of the College itself. Commemorated in the Candler Alumnae Center murals

by Athos Menaboni (Italian-American, 1895-1990), the Georgia Female College was chartered in 1836 to grant baccalaureate degrees to women; this was just over a hundred years after the founding of the State of Georgia, also represented in the murals. Based on the “sound philosophy” of fair education for women and “legitimate reasoning” that women should be “accurately tested,” Wesleyan’s charter is the key that opened the doors for women’s education.

Wesleyan’s magnificent Treasures represent the belief upon which the College was founded: that education is the search for truth through the study of the liberal and fine arts, sciences, and professions. These works of art also express the heart of the College as a community of learners because Wesleyan students have always looked both into and beyond themselves as they contemplate the creations of God and

humans. In this 175th Anniversary year of the charter, we consider Wesleyan an inspired innovation; as the first president of the College, George Foster Pierce (1811–1884), stated in 1840 about this new venture: “the design is good, the progress promising and the prospect, as it looks out from the future, is gilded with the light of hope.”

The Wesleyan Treasures have been donated and lovingly cared for by hundreds of people connected with the College: alumnae, faculty, staff, students, friends, and administrators. The greatness of the collection is owed first and foremost to the generosity of the early donors. For instance, many objects were given by three of Wesleyan’s most illustrious alumnae, the famous Soong sisters who greatly influenced Chinese politics during the tumultuous early twentieth century and who married political enemies. May-ling, an artist who later became Madame Chiang Kaishek (Class of 1916), is portrayed in a portrait by Lazar Raditz (1887-1956), a Russian-born artist who came to America in 1903 and was a portrait painter in Philadelphia. The Chinese collection of silks, paintings, and objects d’art is

located in the Benson Room, Candler Alumnae Center, and in the China Room in Lucy Lester Willet Memorial Library.

On December 16, 1936, a philanthropist and lover of Italian art, Samuel H. Kress, presented to the College a late fifteenthcentury Madonna and Child painted in tempera on panel by the Venetian Renaissance artist Cima da Conegliano.

Putting it into historic perspective, Dr. Samuel L. Akers, author of The First Hundred Years of Wesleyan College, 1836-1936 (published in 1976), remarked that Cima’s image was contemporary with Columbus’ landing on the shores of America and that the artist’s death occurred in the year that Martin Luther nailed his ninety-five theses on the church door at Wittenberg. In 1937, Samuel Kress made a gift of two more Venetian paintings to the College, The Adoration of the Magi and The Adoration of the Shepherds, oil sketches by the eighteenth-century Rococo painter Gaspare Diziani. Better than any textbook, these Kress paintings teach students to understand the fundamentals of stylistic development from the simple, classical, smooth, geometric style of the Venetian Renaissance

to the more complex, dramatic, dynamic, expressionistic style of the Rococo period. The Kress Collection is permanently installed in the West Gallery of Porter Family Memorial Fine Arts Building.

Even before Samuel Kress donated the Venetian paintings, Wesleyan already boasted a substantial collection of American art thanks to artist Helena Eastman Ogden Campbell, a native of Georgia and a graduate of the Class of 1897. In 1932, Helena Campbell gathered more than 125 paintings from artists, patrons, and her own collection, and gave them to Wesleyan. She had an eye for top-quality painting and must have realized that American art would grow tremendously in value and importance.

Among those she gave was Laguna, Venice by William Stanley Haseltine, an American who lived and painted in Italy from 1895 to 1899. Laguna, Venice expresses the warmth and serenity of the lagoon with its majestic sailing vessels and church of San Giorgio in the late afternoon light. Other paintings donated

Houses by New York artist Margaret Huntington (1867-1958), who expresses the familiarity of a traditional American neighborhood with expressionistic marks and dashes of color, and one of Helena Campbell’s own paintings, Roses, in which the floral arrangement is placed in front of a picture of Moses. Macon relatives of Helena Campbell, artist and educator Dorothy Ogden Brown (Class of 1967) and art historian Katey Brown, recently curated a special exhibit of the Helena Eastman Ogden Campbell Collection at Wesleyan. Works from the Campbell Collection may be found in the East and West Galleries.

acquired his love of the sea in the early nineteenth century when he was an officer in the U.S. Navy, but he did not become a professional painter until after the Civil War when he worked in Memphis, Tennessee. On his way to work every day he passed the shop of a young sign painter, Charles Naegele, and would stop to chat. One day Naegele asked Collier to paint a sign depicting a window with a raised curtain and through which an outdoor scene could be viewed. The success of the trompe l’oeil view set Collier on the road to fame as a prominent New York artist and member of the Salmagundi Club.

The galleries in Porter Family Memorial Fine Arts Building were donated by Georgie Collier Comer, whose wistful beauty glows from her portrait by Tennessee artist Charles Naegele (18571944) currently hanging in the lobby.

“Miss Georgie” donated about thirty paintings by her father, Cowles Myles Collier, who painted primarily seascapes until his death in 1909. This is the largest number of paintings the College owns by a single artist. No doubt Collier

In one of Collier’s most dramatic paintings, Over Seas in Unfurled Field (Moonlight at Sea), Collier captures the majesty and romance of the sailing vessel and the dark beauty of the sea in moonlight that he must have experienced as a young naval officer. In Waiting for the Pilot, the artist evokes the quieter mood of the sea and brings out more subtle coloristic effects of atmosphere and light. Charles Naegele said of him: “His intense love for ships

and for the ocean and his experience in the Navy fitted him well to become a marine painter. Even in a cat-boat, when he had sheet and tiller in hand, it was delightful to note the satisfaction on his face.” Some people are awed by the powerful and tragic aspects of the ocean.

Colonel Collier was not. He loved it under all circumstances. The major stylistic characteristic of his paintings was not so much color, but the quality of color and Collier’s ‘feeling’ for it. Another friend, artist W. Granville Smith, said: “He did not depict the sea in its robust mood, but on the poetic side. He was a thorough student of every subject he painted and had an exquisite sense of color.” The Collier Collection may be found in the Cowles Myles Collier East and West Galleries and in the Burden Parlor.

The Porter and Cade Collections are displayed in the Olive Swann Porter Building. The collections boast paintings, furniture, and objects d’art. Included are: an Italian chest and mirror from the Shinholser House, designed and furnished by Neal Reid; an inlaid Louis XVI commode; an inlaid Louis XV desk; a Chinese Chippendale mirror; and an inlaid cabinet from Brussels (containing a Satsuma vase). A sensitive portrait of Olive Swann Porter hangs in the lobby near that of her husband, James Hyde Porter, one of Wesleyan’s most beloved benefactors; both were painted by Charles Naegele.

A dramatic and atmospheric painting of an Italian landscape by an anonymous Italian painter of the eighteenth century also graces the Porter lobby, as well as a George III mahogany secretary with applied carvings, gilding, and ivory inlays, donated by Dr. Robert J. and Margaret Edenfield.

The Permanent Collection consists of numerous items given by individuals and includes exciting works on paper by important artists. For example, a suite of lithographic Cats by twentieth-century Dutch modernist Karel Appel, donated

by Dr. Beverly Sanders, Jr., hangs in the Munroe Science Center, and colorful screen prints by Andy Warhol and 18

Sister Mary Corita Kent were donated by alumna Lynda Brinks Pfeiffer (Class of 1963). In recent years, Richard and Marjorie Lowrance have given a number of art works, including bronze sculptures of an Olympic Man on Rings and Olympic Woman on Balance by Thomas H. Williams (housed in the East and West Galleries).

According to Wesleyan’s Director of the Center for Creative and Performing Arts, Lisa Sloben (Class of 2000), the College continues to receive beautiful and powerful works of art, ever expanding its collection. During the 175th Anniversary Treasures exhibit, several new acquisitions are being exhibited publicly together for the first time. These include: (1) Elizabeth Browne Crowe Bacon’s Lady Fishing c.1870s, a gift from the artist’s grandson, Frank M. Bacon. Mrs. Bacon was on the faculty of Wesleyan College from the 1860s through the 1870s as an art and music teacher. (2) Portrait of Gladys Parker McCoy by an anonymous artist c. 1900 (shown on page 13), a gift of Francis Tyrone McCoy, son of Gladys Parker McCoy. (3) Portrait of Joseph T. Derry, by an anonymous artist c. 1840.

Derry was a Wesleyan faculty member and the grandfather of Gladys Parker McCoy. The other figure in the painting is an unidentified cousin. The painting is a gift of Francis Tyrone McCoy. (4) Julie McCraney Brogden’s bronze sculpture of Orion Tracking, a gift from Richard and Marjorie Lowrance. (5) Beverly Buchanan’s Floral Abstract, mixed media on paper, dated 1982, a gift from C. Terry Holland.

(6) Emil Holzhauer’s Conservatory with Macon House, n.d., and also Asheville, NC Front Porch, 1941, a two-sided watercolor on paper given by Gail Thompson Webster-Patterson (Class of 1964). (7) A suite of four limited edition Salvador Dali lithographs donated by Dr. Robert J. and Margaret Edenfield.

The displays of historic dress in the East and West Galleries, Benson Room, Burden Parlor, and Willet Library present a panoramic view of period attire from the 1830s through the 1980s. While the

early treasures reflect the influence of Southern culture and heritage and the later costumes express cosmopolitan chic, each individual costume represents, in its material and design, a story that is special to Wesleyan’s history. For instance, the home-grown, cotton-spun material of the early-nineteenth-century day dress bespeaks of a simple and perhaps difficult, but pleasant rural life; the intricately-patterned lace adorning graduation and wedding dresses suggest the delicate beauty of a refined lady.

Then, the tailored apparel of an early Red Cross nurse’s uniform reflects a self-sacrificing, courageous woman, while the dramatic flair of a 1950s piano recital dress reveals the inner passion and artistry of a musician. Finally, Miss America’s gown (on loan from Neva Jane Langley Fickling, Class of 1955) expresses all the grace and elegance of the beauty queen herself, and the twentyfirst-century inaugural gown portrays the dignity and brilliance of Wesleyan’s first alumna president, Ruth A. Knox (Class of 1975). In short, the historic dress exhibit manifests a timeless expression of feminine fashion-forward couture de jour.

According to the Director/Archivist of Willet Memorial Library, Sybil McNeil, the Wesleyan College Archives holds significant collections of materials that provide insight into the history of the City of Macon, the State of Georgia, and Wesleyan College. The Archives serves as the repository for the records of the College and holds papers of missionaries like Mary Culler White (Class of 1891) and writers such as Rebecca Caudill Ayars (Class of 1920). Actress Eugenia Rawls’ (Class of 1934) papers include her own accumulation of memorabilia related to nineteenth century British actress Fanny Kemble (1809-1893).

Among the prominent archival collections is that of the Soong sisters; Madame H. H. Kung (Class of 1906), Madame Sun YatSen (Class of 1913), and Madame Chiang Kai-Shek. Some of these artifacts are displayed in a special collections reading room in the library known as The China

Room. More recent collections include that of Betty Thompson (Class of 1947), journalist and past editor of The Christian Century, and Anne Carlton Blanchard (Class of 1947), teacher, author, and dramatist. Papers and artifacts of Joseph T. Derry, an early professor at Wesleyan College and author of works such as History of the United States for Schools and Academies, were donated by his great great granddaughters, Catharine Burns Liles (Class of 1966) and Hazel Burns Struby (Class of 1974), and by his great great grandson, Francis T. McCoy. One of the newest collections given to the College is that of the Park Family of Macon; the gift of Judge Orville Park’s library forms the basis for the Georgiana Special Collections in The Georgia Room of the library. Letters written by students at Wesleyan College both during and after the Civil War are a rich resource for the study of Georgia in that era, just as a collection of student essays from 1845 to 1907, currently being transcribed and digitized, is meaningful to a study of women’s history. Research into the collections held in the Archives is available by appointment.

Many objects are on display in Willet Library during the 175th Anniversary year.

While many individual works stand out for their beauty or expressive power, the value of the Wesleyan Treasures lies in the strength of the collection as a whole – one that has great aesthetic and educational importance to students, scholars, and art enthusiasts.

The College is grateful to the Linda Harriet Lane Fund for its generous support of our Wesleyan Treasures exhibit and the major renovations recently made to the Cowles Myles Collier East and West Galleries.

LIBBY BAILEY, Wesleyan College Professor of Art; B.F.A. (Drawing and Painting) University of Georgia; M.F.A., (Drawing and Painting) University of Georgia; Ph.D. (Art History) University of Georgia.

We give special thanks to Libby Bailey for her contribution to this feature article. Dr. Bailey has studied art in Cortona and Florence, Italy, and has recently begun to study art in England, France and Germany. She has exhibited her work throughout the U.S. and in Italy and currently has two exhibits on display in Georgia: Holiday Prints at the Georgia Museum of Art, in Athens (through January 8, 2012) and Living LARGE at The Gallery at Town 220, in Madison (through January 28, 2012).

For many years now, the Adopt-A-Painting Committee has worked with painting conservator Catherine Rogers, paper conservator Marion Hunter, and frame restorer Nancy Newton to restore works of art to their original brilliance. These skilled conservators have literally saved the art from disintegration and destruction by removing darkened varnish, straightening warped canvases, consolidating cracked and flaking surfaces, filling in paint losses, removing mold and mildew from fragile paper, gold-leafing frames, and miraculously putting a Chippendale mirror back together after a damaging fall.

The 175th Anniversary exhibit features many paintings that have been restored to their original splendor, including Edward Dufner’s painting, The Pink Lady; Water Breaking on Large Rocks by Frederick Waugh; and Jane Peterson’s Bowl of Zinnias. Another final example of an “extreme makeover” is The Two Sisters (shown above) by Francis Coates Jones (1857-1932); it was in a very precarious condition, suffering from a large gash that is hardly noticeable today.

The job of conserving all of Wesleyan’s Treasures is collaborative and continuous.

The College has made the collection more accessible to visitors by keeping the galleries open and staffed with student docents during regular hours. President Knox states, “I would like Wesleyan’s collection to be widely known and respected for its quality and for attracting a steady stream of visitors, researchers, and supporters.”

In support of Wesleyan’s art restoration program, your tax-deductible donation may be made by credit card or in the form of a check payable to Wesleyan College and designated for Art Restoration or Adopt-a-Painting. Please contact the Office of Institutional Advancement at (478) 757-5187 for additional information about specific needs or paintings awaiting adoption. Thank you for investing in the preservation of our special Wesleyan Treasures. A catalogue of the Wesleyan Treasures exhibit is available for $10 in the Campus Store.

Wesleyan Style In step with history and the world around them

During the early planning stages for Wesleyan’s 175th Anniversary Celebration, Vice President for Academic Affairs and Dean of the College Vivia Fowler proposed offering a group of students a credit-bearing elective course in which they would create a “Living History” of Wesleyan similar to what one might see at The Alamo, Old Salem, or Old Williamsburg.

“We were inspired by a number of different programs that do historical interpretation, but did not pattern ourselves after any particular one,” Huber said. “One of the students had historical interpretation experience, and we visited a former student, Forrest Curtis Wolff ’10, who works in public history and has participated in historic interpretation at Bulloch Hall in Roswell, Georgia.”

“Imagine visitors walking from building to building on campus, ‘meeting’ Wesleyan women from the past who talk about their experiences at the College,” Fowler said. “Imagine talking to one of the Soong sisters. Or a young Julia Munroe on the steps of Taylor Hall talking about science education in the early 1900s. Or one of the first African American women who attended Wesleyan.”

The project required each student to research a decade of Wesleyan’s history and report on what was happening at the College, in Macon, in Georgia, and around the world during “her” decade. Students relied on resources available in the Wesleyan Archives and the Georgia Room, and some who were researching recent decades were able to conduct interviews with Wesleyan alumnae. Students created a profile and a narrative for a Wesleyan woman of their assigned decade and then designed and constructed original costumes that reflected their research findings. Studying more than a century’s worth of Veterropts, College catalogs, and historic photographs, class members researched fabrics and styles of clothing and sewed the costumes themselves.

The idea was introduced to Assistant Professor of History Dr. Karen Huber who was eager to add the course to Wesleyan’s history curriculum. So, Spring semester 2011, History 397: Public History and Historic Preservation was created, with the living history project as the core of the class. Huber’s primary goal was to give history students “real life” experience conceptualizing, planning, and carrying out a public history event. Her second goal was for current students to gain a greater understanding and appreciation of Wesleyan’s rich history and the evolving life of Wesleyannes over the last 175 years.

“Kelsey Tinsman and Crystal Osburn brought sewing skills to the project, and the other students worked hard to learn how to sew,” Huber said. “Dean Vivia Fowler was our champion seamstress she stayed late with us on countless nights. And at one point we had the entire staff of one local fabric store helping to cut our endless bolts of fabric and offering advice on our project.”

Thirteen students enrolled in the class, but it was such a popular project that four others joined the group just for fun.

“It was a fantastic experience and really did create an esprit de corps among the students. We had students with majors as diverse as history, music, art history, psychology, and biology.

The experience brought them all together, and I think they’ll remember it for a long time,” Huber said. Several students have continued to interpret their decades this semester, even though they are no longer receiving credit for the class.

Making their debut during Alumnae Weekend in April 2011, the living history students mingled with the crowd in full costume and provided visitors facts about Wesleyan from its founding in 1836 through the 1980s. As a result, one alumna donated a treasure trove of vintage clothing, and another alumna and employee of the historic Hay House in Macon invited two students to participate in a 1940s-themed event held there in September. The group has also been invited to cemetery walks and other events related to the 150th Anniversary of the Civil War. In September, October, and November, living history students guided walking tours of Wesleyan’s historic campus in conjunction with the Wesleyan Treasures exhibition and Open Saturday visits. Their costumes and the dresses on display in the exhibit provide special insight into the commonality and diversity of the Wesleyan experience during student days and

beyond. The dresses not only are beautiful but also narrate stories of the everyday lives of Wesleyan women and how they expressed themselves through fashion as students, graduates, and women who have made a difference in the world.

According to Dr. Huber, there will be a project every time History 397 is offered, but it won’t be the living history project.

Since the planning and research have been done, she said, the living history project can now exist as an extracurricular organization. In the future, Huber anticipates working with the Wesleyan Archives and community or alumnae groups, to find other types of public history projects that students can reasonably complete in the course of a semester.

Dr. Karen Huber and students from History 397 thank Vice President for Academic Affairs and Dean of the College Vivia Fowler, Director of Alumnae Affairs Cathy Coxey Snow ’71, and Director/Archivist of Willet Memorial Library Sybil McNeil for their enthusiastic help with the project. Thanks to Julia Winter, who generously invited the class to stay at her home during a class field trip to Tallahassee. Special thanks to mothers and grandmothers of the class who helped sew the costumes. Research and facts for the following section provided by living history students: Marissa Duhaime, Elizabeth Golden, Amy Denise Jackson, Libby Long, Crystal Osburn, Kelly Page ’11, Hannah Rawcliffe, Kaitlyn Rentz, Callie Rollins, Barbara Sandoval, Belle Thomas ’11, Kelsey Tinsman, and Rachael Webb ’11.

1860s Around the world After ten years of construction, Egypt opened the Suez Canal, allowing water transportation between Europe and Asia. The Salvation Army was founded in London’s East End by a former Methodist Minister, and Russian author Leo Tolstoy published War and Peace.

In America The United States was embroiled in a Civil War during the first half of the decade. From 1861 - 1865 the Union army fought against the secessionist Southern Confederacy.

On January 1, 1863, President Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation outlawing slavery in America two years before he was assassinated. America’s First Transcontinental Railroad was completed in 1869, connecting America’s East and West coasts.

At Wesleyan College Two and a half decades after Wesleyan was chartered, students were studying courses such as geology, reading, spelling, writing, scripture, geography, grammar, arithmetic, composition, and vocal music. The average college year lasted nine and a half months and consisted of two terms. Tuition, board, meals, fuel, and laundry cost each student $170 per year.

Homespun plantation cotton dress - post Civil War The cotton used to make this dress was grown on George Washington Wingfield Stone’s plantation in 1860. Stone was professor of mathematics at Wesleyan (1819-1851).

The cotton was spun and woven on the same plantation, and the indigo for the dye was raised by his daughter, Emma. This dress was worn successively by Wesleyan students Susan “Tudie” Stone (Class of 1867), Emma Stone (Class of 1870), and Sara “Sallie” Stone Branham (Class of 1885). Gift of Dr. Sara Branham Matthews (Class of 1907), daughter of Sallie Stone.

1880s Around the world In 1882, President Chester A. Arthur signed the Chinese Exclusion Act, placing strict limits both on the number of Chinese immigrants allowed to enter the US and the number allowed to become naturalized citizens. In October of 1886, the Statue of Liberty, a gift from the people of France, was dedicated in New York Harbor, and in 1887, Britain’s Queen Victoria celebrated her fiftieth year of rule.

In America The United States began this decade of inventions and advances with telephones in about 50,000 homes. By middecade, George Eastman had patented the hand held camera and Thomas Edison had invented the light bulb. As more Americans moved westward in search of space and a new life, Buffalo Bill Cody opened his Wild West show, and the legendary outlaws Billy the Kid and Jesse James were brought to justice. Mark Twain published Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, and in 1888, a new magazine called National Geographic was introduced.

At Wesleyan College Thanks to a gift from George I. Seney in honor of his mother, a Victorian facade was added to the original Greek Revival building on the downtown campus. Wesleyan women were not allowed to keep money in their room or have debts. If a young woman wished to attend an event off campus, it had to be approved by her parents and the president of the College. Visitors also required prior approval and none were allowed on campus on Sunday.

Periwinkle taffeta dress, 1880s replica At age 71, Mamie Rowland Chance (Class of 1884) wore this dress in Wesleyan’s Centennial Parade. During the Centennial (1936), each Alumnae Club chose a particular decade to represent. The Waynesboro Club chose the 1880s in honor of Mamie, who made the largest gift from an alumna to The Loyalty Fund that year - $125.

1900s Around the world Amid a decade of industrial growth and cultural movements the first Nobel Prizes were awarded. Finland was the first European country to give women the right to vote, Picasso introduced Cubism, Queen Victoria died, and Albert Einstein proposed his Theory of Relativity. In 1904, ground broke on the Panama Canal, eventually providing easier shipping access between the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans, and people all over the world enjoyed the relatively new British game of ping-pong.

In America The 20th century started with a boon for transportation, including the first flight at Kitty Hawk, Henry Ford’s introduction of the Model-T, and New York City’s first subway. Americans fell in love with the Teddy Bear, the World Series, and Kellogg’s Corn Flakes. In 1909, the NAACP was founded, advocating social justice for African-Americans.

At Wesleyan College Rigorous demands of discipline and dedication were placed on Wesleyan students in order to hold them at the same level as students at other colleges, especially male colleges. The women of Wesleyan followed a strict daily schedule that consisted of a 6 am wake up call, a school day completely devoted to studies with only one hour of free time, and a 10 pm bedtime. Students participated in athletics such as softball, tennis, and basketball. In 1900, Wesleyan students performed in the third annual STUNT. Wedding dress, 1906 This wedding dress worn by artist Helena Eastman Ogden Campbell (Class of 1897) is made from two Chinese shawls which belonged to Helena’s mother. The silk underskirt was part of her mother’s wedding dress. Helena was the recipient of the 1950 Alumnae Distinguished Achievement Award and founder of Wesleyan’s Helena Eastman Ogden Campbell art collection.

1910s Around the world Europe was embroiled in fighting the “war to end all wars.” Many American men volunteered to fight for the Triple Entente (France, Britain, and Russia) and American women volunteered their support by serving as nurses and ambulance drivers. Amidst the carnage of the war was the outbreak of Spanish Influenza, which spread to both Europe and America killing thousands. In 1917, the United States entered World War I by declaring war on Germany.

In America The Nestor Company opened the first film studio in the Hollywood area of Los Angeles, and within the decade, “Hollywood” became the nickname for the now-famous entertainment industry. In 1912, Arizona and New Mexico entered the Union, and Arizona, Kansas, and Oregon gave women the right to vote.

At Wesleyan College The 1910s saw an important change in Wesleyan’s curriculum when Spanish was added to the list of foreign language courses. In 1913, the third Soong sister, Mayling (Madame Chiang Kai-shek), began her first year at Wesleyan. In 1914, the sororities Alpha Delta Pi and Phi Mu were abolished. Soon after, the class-year system was established to include Pirates, Golden Hearts, Purple Knights, and Green Knights.

1950s Around the world The 1950s were dominated by the Cold War and its two superpowers, the United States and the Soviet Union. The Space Race heated up when America launched its first successful satellite into orbit four months after the Soviets launched Sputnik. Fidel Castro seized power in Cuba, and Herman Wouk, Ernest Hemingway, and William Faulkner were awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction.

In America On June 25, 1951, CBS broadcast the very first color TV program. Unfortunately, very few people owned a color television. The US Supreme Court paved the way for the Civil Rights Movement with its landmark 1954 ruling in the case of Brown v. Board of Education. In medicine, Dr. Jonas Salk developed a vaccine for polio. Alaska and Hawaii became the 49th and 50th states, Robert Bannister broke the four-minute mile, Disneyland opened, Elvis danced on Ed Sullivan’s show, and Legos were introduced.

At Wesleyan College The 1950s were exciting times at Wesleyan both academically and structurally. The Rivoli campus was expanded to include Porter Family Fine Arts Building, Huckabee Hall, Bradley House, and the ADPi fountain. The academic curriculum was expanded to include study abroad, philosophy, and interdepartmental majors. Robert Frost read at Wesleyan in the 1940s, and in the 1950s the College hosted Robert Penn Warren as a lecturer.

Pink tulle strapless dress, c.1954: Nina Beth Sheppard Terrell (Class of 1958) had this dress made for a piano recital, and later donated it to the College’s permanent collection of treasures.

An education and religion major, Nina participated in the Glee Club as a student, and as an alumna she served as president of the Alumnae Association (1970-1973). In 1995, she was honored with the Wesleyan Alumnae Award for Distinguished Service to the College.

1980s Around the world In the wedding of the decade, Lady Diana Spencer married Prince Charles in London’s St. Paul’s Cathedral while 750 million people around the world watched on television. Considered the worst nuclear power plant accident in history, an explosion and fire at Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in Ukraine released large quantities of radioactive contamination into the atmosphere. In 1989, the world celebrated the fall of the Berlin Wall.

In America In 1981, Sandra Day O’Connor was the first woman appointed to the U.S. Supreme Court. Pac-Man, Rubik’s Cube, and Cabbage Patch Kids were all the rage, and Sally Ride became the first American woman in space.

Ted Turner launched CNN, Exxon Valdez spilled millions of gallons of oil in Prince William Sound, and President Bush announced he didn’t like broccoli.

At Wesleyan College Wesleyan College’s tradition of the Marker Ceremony began in 1986 during the celebration of the College’s Sesquicentennial Anniversary. The Katherine Payne Carnes (Class of 1913) Lecture Series was established in 1987, and in the Fall of 1989, all first year students at Wesleyan were given their own personal computers.

Emerald silk taffeta ball gown, c. 1980 Designed under her own label, Lenora Jackson, Ltd., this handmade dress from her first line of clothing was worn by and a gift from Kathryn Jackson Hardy (Class of 1977).

In 1992, Kathryn was noted as “the youngest designer to have shown on Worth Avenue in Palm Beach.” Now retired from the fashion industry, she has renewed her fine art career as a portrait artist, water colorist, and sculptress. She has also started her own line of perfume called Tursiops.

Michael and George McKinney with members of Alpha Psi Omega theatre fraternity. circa 1985.

Memories of Theatre Magic George McKinney came to Wesleyan to teach theatre in 1964. During the next twenty-five years, McKinney became one of Wesleyan’s most beloved faculty members. In fact, students and faculty admired him so much that they referred to him as “Sir.” As the Theatre Program’s resident designer, George filled the Porter Auditorium stage with astonishing sets for over one hundred theatre productions, many of which he also directed and most of which he captured in still photography with his ever-present camera.

He taught theatre arts to hundreds of Wesleyan students, including his own children. His set designs won awards and were published in magazines and books. In his spare time, George made jewelry and, in retirement, wrote novels. By the time McKinney retired from full-time teaching in 1989, he had become a legend.

George W. McKinney was born March 29, 1923, in Cramerton, NC, to the Methodist circuit minister Reverend Clyde McKinney and Winnie Smith McKinney. As a child, George lived in several North Carolina communities, most significantly Rural Hall, Bostic, and Jamestown. After graduating from high school in Jamestown, McKinney served in the Army Air Corps. In 1946, having completed his military service and eager for an education, he attended the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where he completed his undergraduate degree in 1949.

That summer, he worked as property master at the wellknown outdoor drama The Lost Colony. McKinney then

returned to UNC-CH and earned a Master of Arts Degree in Technical Theatre and Speech in 1951. While at Chapel Hill, George was invited to join the school’s prestigious “Carolina Playmakers,” a theatre company made up of graduate students and professionals.

In 1950, McKinney married Doris Pegram, a theatre practitioner like himself. They spent the summer of 1950 in Cherokee, North Carolina, as professional members of the premiere production of Unto These Hills, a play written by Kermit Hunter to dramatize the history of the Cherokee Nation. For this outdoor epic, sponsored by the Cherokee Historical Association, George initially worked as properties master while Doris was on the costume crew.

Beginning in the summer of 1951 and continuing today, Unto These Hills has been professionally produced each summer at Cherokee, becoming one of the United States’ best-attended summer theatre events.

From its inaugural season through the summer of 1985, Unto These Hills was a frequent artistic home for members of the McKinney family. During that time George would serve as assistant technical director and eventually technical director, and Doris continued her affiliation with the costume department. Their two daughters Lisa (McKinney ‘74) and Karen, performed as dancers and son Michael joined the cast as an actor, and later, at age thirteen, became assistant properties master.

Wesleyan Magazine Winter 2010

In 1951, George was hired by the University of Illinois at UrbanaChampaign to teach technical theatre and speech. Nine years later, McKinney moved his family to Portales, New Mexico, to teach technical theatre and design at Eastern New Mexico University.

His next stop was Lamar Technical University in Beaumont, Texas. Finally, in 1964, George McKinney joined the theatre faculty at Wesleyan College as associate professor. After a few moves around Macon, the McKinney family settled in the house on Green Oak Terrace where Michael still lives today.

When George McKinney came to Wesleyan, the Theatre Program offered a bachelor of fine arts degree.

Eventually becoming chair of the theatre department, McKinney taught courses in set, costume, and lighting design; make-up; public speaking; theatre production; and introduction to theatre.

In addition to his teaching duties, he was the stage manager and technical director for all events held in the Porter Auditorium. George was also responsible for designing all theatre productions and directed several each year. In his production class, he taught small armies of students to construct the fabulous sets and lighting he’d designed. A number of his stunning India ink set renderings now 30

hang in a special exhibit in the Porter Auditorium lobby as a testament to McKinney’s extraordinary artistry.

In addition to his set designs, McKinney was nationally renowned for the special technical effects he created for Wesleyan’s theatre productions. One of these—an extraordinary blooming pumpkin vine—which he created for the play Peter, Peter, Pumpkin Eater, won a 1976 Theatre Crafts Magazine Technical Theatre Competition Award.

“I designed this effect twenty years ago and have only used it once or twice,” McKinney told a reporter for Wesleyan’s Times and Challenge. McKinney loved directing children’s plays partly because he could enchant his audience with fantasy worlds and special effects like the blooming pumpkin vine. During his years at Wesleyan, George directed and designed at least one children’s play annually. According to the eulogy given by colleague and friend, retired Professor Emeritus of Music Fletcher Anderson, “George introduced thousands of central Georgia youngsters to legitimate theatre. He would fill that stage with some amazing characters—a dragon, a mermaid, gypsies, trolls, a minstrel, a wicked baroness…and that was only one production!” For the set of another children’s play titled The Butterfly,

George designed a space filled with oversized objects, including a pitchfork and a matchbox, so that the insect characters like Butterfly and Spider, played by human actors, would seem tiny in proportion.

McKinney’s photographs of this set reveal the success of this strategy: the actors posed against enlarged set elements appear to be perfectly pint-sized.

McKinney never lost childhood’s love of playful expression. As a child himself, McKinney developed a passion for photography, especially “trick photography,” that lasted throughout his life. In 1955, prior to his arrival at Wesleyan, McKinney’s “trick” photo of a kitten pouring a glass of milk, created in the days long before Photoshop made manipulating photographs easy, won first place in an annual photography competition sponsored by the Illinois Commercial News. When his family was in residence at Unto These Hills, George’s haunting photographs became the cover art for the show’s season programs. Once ensconced at Wesleyan, George documented all of the theatre productions in black and white stills and in color slides.

One of McKinney’s favorite shows was The Women, by Clare Booth Luce, designed and directed by George at

Wesleyan in 1979, with a cast of thirty women. McKinney’s set design for The Women rose three stories high on the Porter Auditorium stage, featuring a total of eight different rooms for the ladies of this 1936 comedy to occupy.

To document the set design for The Women, George took the standard photographs, with and without actors, and also created another “magical” image of the set with himself standing or sitting in each of the eight rooms.

Eventually becoming Wesleyan’s campus photographer, McKinney shot numerous non-theatre Wesleyan events over the years, including an evocative photograph of Banks Hall taken one foggy evening, which became the cover of a Wesleyan choral recording titled “Wesleyan College . . . 3:00 A.M.” A print of this photograph titled “Foggy Banks” hangs in the current exhibit in Porter Auditorium Lobby.

When George McKinney retired from full-time teaching at Wesleyan in 1989, he was sorely missed. A grateful faculty and administration awarded him the status of Professor Emeritus of Theatre in 1991. Occasionally, McKinney returned to the College to teach a course or to view a production, but spent much of his retirement in a new career as an

author, publishing four novels under the pseudonym Geohn C. McAmby. He also continued his longtime hobbies of jewelry-making and woodcarving.

George W. McKinney passed away on March 17, 2006, at age 82, and was buried in Walkertown, North Carolina, next to his wife, Doris Pegram McKinney.

In honor of this remarkable man who contributed so much to the life of the College, Wesleyan’s theatre program wishes to establish the George W. McKinney Memorial Theatre Award to be given to a deserving theatre major each year. To make a donation to help establish this award please contact the Office of Advancement at (478) 757-5187.

We give special thanks to Jan Lewis for her contribution to this feature article. Dr. Lewis joined the Wesleyan Theatre program in Fall 2006 as a scholar, teacher, author and director. Three of her recent Wesleyan productions have won awards for “Excellence in Directing” from the Kennedy Center/ American College Theatre Festival. She co-authored the script for her 2010 production of Medea/Myth and wrote the adaptation for her 2011 production of the Gilbert and Sullivan operetta Princess Ida.

SPARC: Igniting the Fire of Math and Science Education The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded Wesleyan College $576,000 for its Math/Science Student Preparation and Retention Collaborative (M/S SPARC). Through this five-year grant funded by the NSF-sponsored Scholarships in Science and Technology Engineering and Math (S-STEM) initiative, two cohorts of high achieving, socioeconomically disadvantaged women from rural and inner city schools across Georgia will receive financial and programmatic support for a successful career in the fields of math and science. Wesleyan has welcomed eight SPARC scholars who plan to graduate with degrees in chemistry, biology or mathematics for the 2011-2012 academic year, and recruitment for a second cohort is underway.

In awarding this grant, the NSF noted Wesleyan’s outstanding postgraduate outcomes in science and math majors and its continued success in offering excellent academic support programs to its students. According to NSF, in 2010 the S-STEM program received 363 proposals from institutions of higher education nationwide, requesting approximately $204 million. Of those submitted only 80 proposals were chosen for funding, totaling approximately $40 million, making Wesleyan’s receipt of this award particularly noteworthy.

Wesleyan College Associate Professor of Biology, Dr. Holly Boettger-Tong claims, “We are delighted to receive this level of funding for our science and mathematics scholars. This SPARC initiative will provide exciting, novel programming for the young women who are selected as scholarship recipients. In addition, positive SPARC Scholar outcomes will allow us to institutionalize some of these grant-funded activities, which will benefit countless future Wesleyan students.”

According to the grant, “The need for SPARC is great in Georgia, where there is a disparity in high school mathematics and science achievement in terms of race and socioeconomic status. The current success of Wesleyan College in recruiting and retaining a diverse student body provides an ideal environment to support SPARC Scholars. Since 1836, Wesleyan College has emphasized the importance of science as well as classical learning in the education of women. This history has paid modern benefits since over seventysix percent of natural science and mathematics graduates pursue advanced degrees or are employed in mathematics or science-related occupations. Of these graduates, twenty-five percent are women of color.” Dr. Beottger-Tong claims that the College will seek to add additional diversity to the next SPARC cohort by targeting more rural areas.

Students who qualify for SPARC receive not only financial support all four years at Wesleyan, but also integrated academic support, internship opportunities, summer academic bridge programs, early engagement in undergraduate research, support from facility advisors, and peer and almunae mentoring. Scholars meet monthly with faculty advisors to discuss issues like time management, course work, and goals for their future success at Wesleyan. Peer mentors serve as academic tutors and also serve as general confidants to discuss sisterhood, social pressures, and other helpful tips regarding course loads. SPARC scholars will have an opportunity to complete research through a Maymester Research Intensive where they will present their research at a professional conference during their senior year.

SPARC scholar Chelsea Widner from Sylvania, Georgia, is currently completing high school while enrolled at Wesleyan as part of Georgia’s “Move on When Ready” initiative and plans to pursue a major in chemistry. “Support from the SPARC funds helped make my decision on whether or not to pursue an early start at Wesleyan more clear,” she claims.

As this year’s SPARC scholars begin their journey at Wesleyan, it is anticipated that eighty percent of them will graduate and ninety percent of these graduates will pursue advanced degrees or employment in STEM fields. Data from Wesleyan’s SPARC program may also be used to further advancement of other initiatives at other larger institutions that have adopted smaller learning communities.

Wesleyan College to add Bachelor of Science in Nursing Program In response to statewide demand for qualified registered nurses, Wesleyan College is developing a pre-licensure Bachelor of Science in Nursing program with courses to begin Fall Semester 2013, pending full approval by the Georgia Board of Nursing and The Southern Association of Colleges and Schools/ Commission on Colleges. Hallmarks of the program will include an emphasis on women’s health and holistic nursing.

Georgia is experiencing a significant nursing shortage. While the supply of registered nurses across the state has remained fairly stable, the demand for health care services has been rising rapidly. In 2006, the Georgia Department of Labor projected that our state would need nearly 20,000 additional registered nurses by 2012, and the federal Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) estimates that the shortage of RNs could jump to 37,700 by 2020 if supply does not increase dramatically. Projections vary widely, but the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) estimates a national nursing workforce shortfall of more than 500,000 by 2025. With some estimates as high as 1 million by then, current nursing programs must increase the number of graduates by 90 percent and new nursing programs must be established.

According to Wesleyan President Ruth Knox, “Addressing the statewide shortage of qualified registered nurses

is critically important, especially to the Central Georgia region. We are diligently working to create a program that will be distinctive in its focus on women’s health and wellness. Our program will be quite demanding in its preparation of registered nurses who will be prepared for graduate level training and advancement to management and other leadership roles within the health care industry. Adding this competitive nursing degree program will not only prepare a significant number of trained and highly educated graduates for our regional medical industry but also attract a number of new professionals to our region.”

A recent survey administered by GoalQuest, Wesleyan’s online enrollment management vendor, indicated that 40% (986 inquiring students) considered the availability of a nursing program “somewhat” or “very important” in their decision to attend Wesleyan.

The College is confident that the development of a strong nursing program will attract a great number of high caliber students which will help address Georgia’s nursing shortage by educating patient-centered, criticalthinking nurses who can help transform health care throughout our community and state. Admission standards and accompanying expectations for academic and clinical achievement will be demanding. Wesleyan expects to begin with cohorts of 25 to 30 students.

In October, the Trustees of The Peyton Anderson Foundation awarded Wesleyan College a generous grant of $900,000 to help establish the new Nursing degree program. “News of the Foundation’s support has invigorated the many faculty and staff members who have already dedicated long hours to the development of this exciting program,” said President Knox. “We thank The Peyton Anderson Foundation for their confidence in our mission. We are especially grateful for this leadership level of support during these first two years as it will allow us to focus our full attention on developing curriculum, recruiting a highly qualified Director of Nursing, and equipping our teaching laboratory.”

Having received the Georgia Board of Nursing’s “developmental approval” in 2011, the College’s goal is to gain the second phase of “initial approval” during 2012, and, finally, “full approval” during 2015 when the first cohort of nursing students graduates. Preliminary conversations with representatives of Central Georgia Health System, Medical Center of Central Georgia, Coliseum Health System, Houston Healthcare, and the Macon-Bibb County Health Department have paved the way for their facilities to serve as clinical sites. The College anticipates working with other acute and primary care health facilities in the region, as well.

Wesleyan riders fit well in the saddle On a campus rich in history, Wesleyan proudly features an equestrian program that dates back to 1928 when the College moved from its original College Street campus to the new Rivoli campus.

Settled in the suburbs, this land was a prime location for starting an equestrian program. When the College acquired the Bradley House, which included sixty acres of land and an old dairy barn, in the mid-1950s, the facility moved to its current location on campus and the program began to grow.

In the mid-1980s, under the direction of former President Robert Ackerman, the equestrian program transitioned from a riding program that simply offered classes in technique and care for horses to include a competitive element.

Since that time, the Pioneers have competed as members of the Intercollegiate Horse Show Association (IHSA) and have experienced a great deal of success on both regional and national levels.

Over the course of the past three decades, Wesleyan’s equestrian team has won numerous High Point and Reserve High Point awards, and several student-athletes have qualified for Regional, Semi-Final, and National competitions in both the hunt seat equitation and western horsemanship disciplines. The program boasts two national champions who won their crowns in western horsemanship.

As members of IHSA, students from Wesleyan compete at locations throughout the southeast region including the University of Florida, Florida State University, University of Miami, College of Charleston, Savannah College of Art and Design, and Georgia Southern University. In preparation for their competitions, which occur year round, student-athletes and horses are put through numerous training exercises on a regular basis. The riders focus on building their strength and working on their equitation, which includes body position and posture on the horse, as well as the effective use of aids in riding.

In 1999, the program added its signature element and one of the treasures of the Wesleyan campus, the Nancy Ellis Knox Equestrian Center. This modern facility houses twenty-four stalls, student and boarder tack rooms, three wash racks, a feed room, a classroom, a lounge, and an office. The center also features six paddocks of varying size and a fully-lit arena with a full jump course.

Currently, Wesleyan owns fourteen horses. All were donated as gifts to the College and most have extensive show records. Wesleyan also gives students the opportunity to board their horses at the Equestrian Center and enjoy the convenience of their horse living on campus.

“Our athletes are exposed to different horses, who are like people and have different personalities,” states Head Coach Courtenay Staples Bunn ’05.

“This is beneficial because, when competing at a show, they have to draw a horse they have never ridden before. Riding different horses throughout training allows riders to become very well-rounded and confident on a variety of horse demeanors.”

Sophomore rider Aaron South came to Wesleyan as an experienced hunt seat competitor. The team, she said, helps maintain the barn and horses providing riders a sense of pride in the program.

Aaron enjoys the travel which she says supports the bonding experiences unique to a small team.

“When we go to shows, our teammates are there to cheer each other on,” she said. “We always make time to enjoy the history of our surroundings.

I love being on the team. It has added so much to my experience at Wesleyan and I hope that I can continue the legacy here at Wesleyan.”

In addition to the IHSA program available to equestrian students, the College also sponsors a new program targeted at middle and high school students in the local community. Operated through the Interscholastic Equestrian Association (IEA), this riding program is designed to teach proper and safe riding techniques as well as introduce competitive riding and showmanship to a younger audience. Similar in structure to the Intercollegiate Horse Show Association, riders who participate in the IEA program are much more prepared for competition at the collegiate level. The program, in its inaugural season, has eight members learning the fundamentals of the hunt seat discipline and will compete for the first time in December.

“IEA has been a growing program for the last decade and is getting bigger and bigger each year,” claims Bunn. “The IEA program is a great opportunity for young riders to gain experience and serves as a foundation to learn the fundamentals required for collegiate riding. Students have the opportunity to interact with the horses and ride on a team regardless of whether they own their own horse or not. We are very excited about the future of this program and look forward to training a lot of young riders for years to come.”

As part of the College’s 175th Anniversary celebration, Wesleyan Women were invited to share with their sisters words of wisdom, bits of advice, and observations through an online Pearls of Wisdom campaign. Just as we expected, our extraordinary Wesleyannes were forthcoming, poignant, and encouraging. These pearls are too valuable to be assigned a price and so are free to all who wish to be enlightened, entertained, and ensconced in learning how the wonderful women of Wesleyan view their experiences as individuals, family members, professionals, friends… and as sisters. On these pages you’ll find just a handful of Pearls we have received.

Witty to worldly, and full of soul and sincerity, Wesleyan women tell it like it is. To read more Pearls, visit www.wesleyancollege.edu/pearls.

friends of Pierce chapel, be part of the legacy As we live out our commitment to the foundation of faith that is a cornerstone of the Wesleyan experience, it is long past time for us to have a dedicated place of worship.

Honoring the past

The original Pierce Chapel located on Wesleyan College’s downtown site was the central feature of campus life. Named after Wesleyan’s first President, George Foster Pierce, the chapel reflected the close relationship between the College and the Pierce family from Wesleyan’s earliest days. Even after the new Rivoli campus opened in 1928, Pierce Chapel continued to be a vital part of Wesleyan’s Conservatory and was the scene of significant events for the entire College such as baccalaureate and commencement. After the destruction of Pierce Chapel by fire in 1963, Wesleyan had no chapel facility at all and is now the only Methodistaffiliated college in the state without a dedicated chapel building.

Preparing the future

For many years, the College has worked diligently to strengthen its ties with The United Methodist Church and to highlight its church affiliation. Wesleyan has a full-time Chaplain and is steadily building a fully endowed chaplaincy. As a result, worship services have grown exponentially in attendance in the last several years and faith-based organizations on campus are thriving.

The Wesleyan Disciples program, for example, attracts some of the College’s finest students who value the opportunity to plan meaningful weekly chapel services, lead Bible study groups, and engage in service throughout the community. Supporting faith and service scholarship programs, like Disciples, encourages Wesleyan women to see the ministry as a viable professional option and will, no doubt, strengthen the Church for years to come.

Be part of the legacy

We believe that a new Pierce Chapel will be the perfect way to combine history, mission, current need, and permanent tribute. Wesleyan College invites your participation in the building of a new Pierce Chapel through the Friends of Pierce Chapel Fund Drive.

As the center of worship and ministry programming as well as a venue for musical performances, the new Pierce Chapel will play an enormous role in the daily lives of our students. With the availability of this dedicated facility, we expect to see an increased number of events hosted on our campus, growth in a wide variety of faith-based student organizations, increased attendance at worship services, and greater number of students prepared to enter seminary.

Pierce Chapel also will help us better serve the needs of individuals and organizations that rely on our campus for religious and community gatherings, ceremonies, meetings, receptions, and performances. With plans for the headquarters of the South Georgia Annual Conference of The United Methodist Church to be built on our campus as well, a new Chapel will be an especially important expression of our long-standing affiliation with the Methodist Church.

Friends of Pierce Chapel

Join the Friends of Pierce Chapel with a special gift or pledge payable over a period of up to three years. Friends of Pierce Chapel will be prominently recognized inside the main lobby at gift levels of $5,000, $10,000, $25,000, and above. In addition, at the $250 level, donors may name a chair with an engraved bronze plaque that will be placed in the Chapel’s main worship space. A small number of meaningful naming opportunities, ranging from $50,000 to $1 million, will be available as well.

We expect the total project costs of Pierce Chapel to be $6 million and the final design to be similar to that depicted in the preliminary drawings

by Cole & Cole Architects. In addition to the project costs, we aim to raise an additional $1 million for an endowed support fund to ensure the long-term maintenance of Pierce Chapel.

One of the easiest ways to honor the “foundation of faith” that is a cornerstone of the Wesleyan experience is to include Wesleyan College in your estate plan. Planned gifts ensure the future of the College and provide faith and service scholarships for students and support our growing campus ministry programs.

Donors who have named Wesleyan as a beneficiary of their wills may elect to designate their gifts to benefit the Pierce Chapel Endowed Maintenance Fund or Wesleyan’s Endowed Chaplaincy Fund.

Your gift helps Wesleyan College Attract and retain students who value our commitment to servant leadership, Strengthen our ties to The United Methodist Church, Prepare future leaders for lay and ordained ministry, Provide a place of worship for students, alumnae, and members of the community.

For information about naming opportunities and tribute gifts, please contact the Office of Institutional Advancement at (478) 757-5187.

In Memoriam Dr. Earl Strickland, 19th President of Wesleyan College At noon on Thursday, August 18, 2011, the carillon bells at Wesleyan College rang nineteen times – once for each year he was president – as the College community paused to remember Dr. Earl Strickland, who died August 15.

A graduate of Emory University, where he earned a Bachelor of Philosophy, Master of Arts, and Master of Theology, Strickland later received the Doctor of Divinity degree from LaGrange College. Following twenty years as a Methodist minister in the North Georgia conference, he became the nineteenth president of Wesleyan College in 1960. In her eulogy, President Ruth Knox shared personal memories of Dr. Strickland from when she was a student on campus in the 1970s: “We regarded him in many ways as a father-figure – if that father were sharply intelligent, infinitely patient, and endlessly kind.

He ate with us in the dining hall, he relished with good-natured humor our singing to him during Washboard Band performances, and he overlooked many of our transgressions. Perhaps we felt a special kinship with him because he was the beloved father of our own classmate and friend Margaret (Margaret Strickland Lovein ’75). With the lovely and gracious Mrs. Strickland by his side, he was a reassuring presence in those freewheeling times.

He was universally loved.”

Dr. Strickland’s tenure as Wesleyan’s president saw the addition of Willet Library, Hightower residence hall, a new art building, and the refurbishment of the historic Candler Building as an alumnae center. He presided over the largest residential student population, the largest graduating class in Wesleyan’s history, and two highly successful capital campaigns.

What many folks did not know about Dr. Strickland, according to President Knox, was his heroic side. “Earl Strickland was a hero – the quiet, courageous, and best kind there is.” Under Dr. Strickland’s leadership, the Wesleyan 46

campus was integrated in the fall of 1968 with the arrival of the first AfricanAmerican students at the College.

These brave women, now celebrated as Wesleyan’s “First Five,” remember Dr. Strickland as a true friend who, time after time, helped them negotiate the tough spots during that challenging transitional period. Dr. Strickland had been quietly working toward integrating the campus since shortly after his arrival in 1960. Prior to that time, he had helped to author the now famous Ministers’ Manifesto, written in response to the violence in Little Rock, Arkansas, over the desegregation of public schools. Signed by eighty ministers, the Manifesto was a call for peace, moderation, dialogue between white and black leaders, and respect for the law. As sensible as these actions seem now, they represented unpopular positions at the time. Later, as President of Wesleyan, he guided the College through a difficult time of change with a quiet persistence and gentle strength.

In the midst of all the tasks demanded by the office, Dr. Strickland never forgot the students. After his death, many Wesleyannes shared their own memories of Dr. Strickland’s kindnesses and wry sense of humor. Cathy Coxey Snow ‘71 recalled his reassuring bedside presence at the hospital after she had been in a serious automobile accident.

Julie St. John Thornton ‘78 remembered a fatherly hug and sympathy when her date for the May dance – where she was to be crowned May Queen – was a noshow. Carol “Moon” Burt ‘64 recalled his amusement when he “busted” her for crashing an alumnae party at Bradley House, the President’s home.

He was loved indeed. Many alumnae and friends of the College have chosen to remember Dr. Strickland with a gift to the Thelma Strickland Scholarship, a scholarship he had established in honor of his beloved wife.

Wesleyan Magazine Winter 2011

Annual Fund Could you love Wesleyan any better?

I was at Wesleyan last weekend and, as I looked out over the loggia to the fountain and down towards the lake, I realized that I am not sure there is a more beautiful view anywhere. When I looked a second time, I could almost see a group of young women around the fountain (that had been dyed green, of course) yelling, “Hoddy Toddy,” and singing, “Do you think that you could love me any better …”

The third time I looked, I tried to see the Green Knights of 2012 and wondered if I would recognize the cheers they would do. I met several of them when they were in Washington DC for a leadership retreat last spring. What a great and talented group of young women! After meeting these students, I realized again why as alumnae we should respond to the Wesleyan requests for participation in the various giving campaigns. This generation of young women, as well as the next and the next, should motivate us to give, to stay connected, and to keep our alma mater strong. I can’t wait to celebrate the exciting “Wesleyan Firsts” that these Green Knights will achieve.

On behalf of these students, I thank you for your gifts to the 2011 Annual Fund! As you make your year-end charitable giving plans, I urge you to keep Wesleyan’s Annual Fund high on your list of priorities again this year. Every gift matters, no matter the size. Collectively, our gifts are needed to keep the Wesleyan experience alive. I see this as both a great responsibility and a great honor. Currently, though, fewer than 25% of alumnae support the Annual Fund (while our peers have participation levels of 40 to 50%). We need to change the statistic! Did you know that Wesleyan’s faculty and staff consistently give at participation levels of 95% and higher? Image how incredibly life-changing the Wesleyan experience could be with 95% alumnae participation! No other college or university in the nation could claim that level of success and satisfaction among alums. First things first though, let’s grow 25% to 35% –– and that would only take 8 additional people in each class to make a gift.

Last year at this time, I encouraged you to stay connected with Wesleyan.

Have you done that? Take advantage of opportunities to reconnect with your classmates. Several of my classmates and I have started a tradition of mini-reunions, meeting at various places every couple of years for a “ladies weekend.” When we get together, it is like we just left Wesleyan yesterday.

Wesleyan alums are “indeed” the grandest group of women I know! No matter when or where you meet one, you have an instant bond. Hold close the friends you made and smile in anticipation of meeting those wonderful Wesleyan Women whose paths have yet to cross yours. This year, surprise a few special people (that professor who invested in you or that classmate you haven’t seen for years) by making tribute gifts in their honor to Wesleyan!

Thanks,

Jan Lawrence ‘80

The Power of Bequests

ONE OF THE EASIEST WAYS to honor a connection to your alma mater is to include Wesleyan College in your estate plan. Planned gifts ensure the future of the College and provide scholarships for students, boost our Annual Fund, and support a wide variety of exciting capital projects.

Our planned giving donors commit to support Wesleyan in numerous ways. Some name Wesleyan as a beneficiary in a will through an outright bequest. Donors also may designate the remainder of their estate to the College after meeting their family’s needs. Other donors have charitable remainder trusts that can provide income to donors and their spouses during their lifetimes.

The purpose of planned giving is twofold – to benefit your family’s future while also leaving a legacy to Wesleyan. Our staff will work with you and your financial advisors to satisfy your charitable interests while keeping in mind your family’s financial future. A bequest can be a specific amount, or all or part of what is left after family needs are met. Simply meet with your attorney to draft, update, or supplement your will.

Mildred Louise Boothe West, Class of 1932 Wesleyan College recently received a generous gift from the estate of Mildred “Millie” Louise Boothe West, Class of 1932, of Fort Pierce, Florida. Millie was devoted to her alma mater throughout her adult life and as a result of her generosity and thoughtful planning, Wesleyan has been able to make important improvements to the campus and significantly increase the College’s endowment. In 1940, Millie solicited donations from her church’s congregation for the College’s “redemption” campaign, and when her mother died in 1977, Millie and her husband, Thomas, established a scholarship fund so that students from her church could attend Wesleyan. At various times, she served as a class liaison, and in 1989, Mildred Boothe West became a charter member of The Society for the Twenty-first Century.

Valedictorian of her high school and winner of a district public speaking contest, Millie Boothe entered the Conservatory in the fall of 1928. Her sophomore year she transferred to the new Rivoli campus where she continued her studies in the dramatic arts under the direction of Anne Chenault Wallace. In 1932, Millie earned a Certificate of Graduation in Dramatic Art from the Conservatory, as well as a Bachelor of Arts degree in English and history. Although she never considered herself an athlete, she did participate in class soccer, and years later she remembered the thrill of being chosen for the team. “Did I try!” she wrote. “My long legs galloped all over the field and then – I kicked the winning goal! Was I happy!” After graduating from Wesleyan, Millie studied at Mercer University, Duke University, and Marshall College (now Marshall University in Huntington, West Virginia), and in 1968 she received an M.Ed. in administration from Florida Atlantic University.

In 1938, she married Thomas Newell West, a native of Savannah. Two of Millie’s Wesleyan friends, Arnelle Lewis Land ’33 and Mary Noble Womelsdorf ’32, served as bridesmaids. Millie taught elementary school –– mostly fourth grade –– in Fort Pierce for forty-three years, retiring in 1977. Her husband died in 1978, and Millie said that she found her “family” through her civic and other volunteer work. A life-long Methodist, she taught Sunday School, served on the Administrative Board, sang in the choir, and played the organ. She was a long-time member of the Woman’s Club, serving as president for three years, and was a founding member of the Poinciana Garden Club where she served as a Master Flower Show Judge. Millie enjoyed golf and bridge, and was an accomplished pianist. Her devoted friend, Sybil Skannel, remembers that Millie “selflessly shared her talents, including wisdom and wit, and was an inspiration to many.”

IT’S EXCITING TO SEE RECENT GRADS and young donors embrace the power of planned gifts! Join the hundreds of alumnae who have named Wesleyan as a beneficiary of a life insurance policy or retirement plan. It’s easy, sensible, and it is one of the most important things you can do today to sustain the future of Wesleyan. Many types of Gift Plans are available, including gifts of life insurance, life income gifts, retirement income plans, and retained life estate arrangements. Please consider which type will work best for you and take that step for Wesleyan.

THEN LET US KNOW. We would like to recognize you with membership in the prestigious Society for the Twenty-first Century.

FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATON, please contact Susan Allen, Senior Development Officer, at (478) 757-5133 or sallen@wesleyancollege.edu.
