The Rollins Undergraduate Magazine WHAT OTHERS SAY WHAT OTHERS SAY THE VIRGINIAN-PILOT of Norfolk in an extended notice said: "The Flamingo, in our opinion, is the most neatly executed student periodical of them all It is advertised as 'a literary magazine of the youngest generation.' It seems to be the best of that generation." PROFESSOR HILL, Whittier College, Calif.: "The Flamingo is the best magazine of the younger generation I have seen." THE JACKSONVILLE TIMES-UNION: "As distinctive and unusual as its outer appearance are the contents of The Flamingo 'The Return of Amos' has atmosphere with a strong delicate touch and an indefinable element of the mysterious The thirteen poems indicative of a penetrating observation and sophistication rarely expressed by young students have both imagination and substance." MR ARTHUR SHERBURNE HARDY, the distinguished novelist and poet, who was for some years editor of "The Cosmopolitan" under John Brisbane Walker, wrote: "I approached The Flamingo with no great appetite—rather with that languid interest with which I take up any undergraduate publication But The Flamingo interested me at once The opening poem, 'Heaven Shining Through,' is excellent and reminded me of Emily Dickinson The story of the man who bought nine lots in a cemetery and erected nine monuments to Myra, the saleslady, is a corker!"

The first great need was to overcome all natural resistance Before voltage can be made available the resistance must be overcome, and it was the master mind of Ohm that discovered a way to measure this negative influence, hence the creation of the term ohmage as the preliminary to the measure of voltage Hamilton Holt at Winter Park is first of all overcoming the natural resistance of traditional academic hindrances to the personal thinking of any student As wireless telegraphing eliminates the resistance of the wire in the ordinary message, so Rollins College aspires to set the student free from the limitations of the academic wires of other days Instead of expecting a student to answer questions formulated by his grandfather, he is free to ask questions which neither his father nor his professor can answer Rollins College is doing the academic world an inestimable service by making it impossible for a professor to conceal his own ignorance by clinging tenaciously to a traditional pedagogical, philosophical or psychological wire.—Reprinted from the June 11 issue of the Journal of Education A MAGAZINE FOR FORMER STUDENTS editor makes a general ap4 Jpeal to alumni to offer sugges^^^ tions of topics upon which they should like to see discussion in these pages Articles from alumni touching upon aspects of life in every day walks, thoughts, ideals, aspirations and labors will be welcomed While it is the wish of the editorial board to include as much of news value as possible, it is also believed that the Rollins Alumni Record should possess a tendency to carry thoughtprovoking articles \^'HE NEW BIRTH IN FLORIDA of the most fascinating academic adventures of the day is at Winter Park While several traditional colleges are merging, or passing out of existence more tragically, there is this wonderful academic "New Birth in Florida" that Hamilton Holt is sponsoring This new birth is to the scholastic world what hydro-electric power is to the industrial life of the age First of all, it is overcoming the natural resistance of traditional education Hydro-electric power had no great significance until long-distance power transmission was created for its service It is this almost miraculous service which enables hydroelectric power to go vast distances, rendering all needed force to carry enormous loads over the steepest grades and at the same time serve the farmstead with light and heat at a nominal price ONE HARRIET MALTBIE MILLEA sympathy of former stu1 )dents of Rollins goes out to the ^*^ sorrowing husband and parents of Harriet Maltbie Millea who passed away recently Although not a graduate of Rollins she was a student for a number of years and passed many happy days in Cloverleaf She was always loyal to her alma mater and followed its devel\^^HE THE PASSING OF DR EMILIE WATTS McVEAdeath of Dr Emilie Watts l^jMcVea, which occurred the latter part of July, is an irreparable loss to Rollins and to the cause of higher education in the South Probably no woman produced by the South in this generation has had a more distinguished educational career As Dean of Women of the University of Cincinnati Dr McVea occupied a position of such increasing usefulness and distinction that she was recognized as one of the foremost woman educators of America When, later, she became President of Sweet Briar College in Virginia that institution quickly assumed a place among the leading colleges for women Dr McVea's health was seriously impaired by her executive responsibilities at Sweet Briar and by her tireless efforts in behalf of the Food Administration during the World War Consequently she was forced to relinquish her activities and seek a mild climate The climatic conditions of Florida contributed so readily to her improvement that President Holt induced Dr McVea to undertake a part time professorship of English at Winter Park Upon entering this new field Dr McVea expressed great satisfaction at being able to return to the field of teaching which she considered a joy rather than a task Dr McVea's rare personality as a teacher and her literary gifts won the universal praise of the students who were privileged to come under the magic of her personality Everyone who has come under the influence of her character will bear testimony to the fact that few women have so happily combined high intellectual attainments, executive ability, moral poise and personal charm as she did She was truly a great teacher and a great woman, endowed with the genius of inspiring young people ^.'HE opment with the keenest of interest Many of her closest friends were made on the Rollins campus It is the hope of all Rollins people that the anguish which her untimely bereavement has brought will be assuaged and leave only-the cherished memory of the loved one THE ROLLINS A L r M N I RECORD for SEPTEMBER, 192 ZN^ews of the Rollins Clubs ROLLINS CLUB OF NEW YORK kOLL'iNS Club of New York held its

and students but also by aiding in the understanding of foreign policies as the Institute of Politics at Williamstown is doing Over 1,000 foreign students in American institutions are here by virtue of special scholarships, and this generous provision for nationals of other countries enables most of these students to come to this country for study."

The Nation, July 11: (Reviewing "Migration of British Capital," written by Dr L H Jenks, head of the History Department of Rollins) : "Here is a book of immense industry and fine skill It shows a mastery not only of the ordinary sources but of masses of banking and journalistic records which nobody has tapped before." Boston Globe, June 19: "The award of honorary degrees to President A Lawrence Lowell of Harvard, President Hamilton Holt of Rollins and Prof James Arthur Tufts of Phillips Exeter Academy, which was kept secret until yesterday, came as a surprise to the entire gathering." New York World, July 15: In a column article, describing the Rollins Conference Plan of Study, the following quotation from President Holt is given: "I have four ideals for Rollins College: that it shall always be a small institution, limited to 700 students; that it shall specialize in the beloved type of professor rather than the research man, and in the faithful student rather than the one who just passes his grades, and finally, that it shall have the most beautiful architecture and grounds in America." Boston Globe, June 19: (From President Holt's commencement address at Boston University) "It is personality and character that count in a professor, and not the knowledge on tap." New York Times, June 19: (From President Hamilton Holt's commencement address at Boston University discussing the Rollins Conference Plan of Study) : "Under this plan the student progresses as rapidly as his ability permits and his relation is primarily to his professor." Chicago Evening Post, June 22: "Mr Jenks' study of 'Our Cuban Colony' is equally exhaustive, and in addition is written in a style that makes it read more like a narrative." Bookman Magazine, June: "Prof L H Jenks, in his extremely readable account of 'Our Cuban Colony' exonerates Wall St from responsibility for the Spanish-American War." New York Times, July 5: In a report of the opening of the ninth session of the Bread Loaf School of English of Middlebury College, Edwin Osgood Grover, Professor of Books in Rollins College, was mentioned as a member of the staff who was present Salt Lake City Tribune, July 8: Referring to the new book by the Rollins professor—"Politically, the United States, Dr Jenks' study shows, has been thoroughly disinterested in its relations with the Cuban Republic; but, economically, the country is in the power of American business." Yonkers, (N Y.) Herald, July 18: In a feature story, illustrated by a two-column cut of President Holt, the Rollins Conference Plan is discussed as one of the leading educational undertakings of the present day by the Herald which calls Rollins, "the undergraduates' Eldorado." In quoting President Holt the article says: "Personality makes the great teacher We are all familiar with the teacher with the golden personality who can make the most abstruse subject interesting, and the dullard who blights any subject he touches As our faculty expands I hope to invite only those professors to join our circle who have the nobility of character and the gift of teaching which alone can inspire youth." The Little Age (New York) July: "F J Frank has been in the business paper publishing business for 30 years Two years after he received his A.B degree at Rollins, he joined the Colliery Engineer, and years later he became Chicago representative of the Mining and Scientific Press Before years more had passed he was with the Iron Age Within a year he was elected secretary of the firm, and years later he became vice-president Apparently he did not care much for vicepresidenting for he held that job only years, taking over the presidency of the company in 1920 Since then he has been elected president of the United Publishers Corporation, which is the owner of the Iron Age and many other business papers." (Mr Frank is a trustee of Rollins and President of the Rollins Club of New York) The Progressive Education Magazine for July: Edwin Osgood Grover, Professor of Books at Rollins, is the author of an eight-column article in this issue in which he discusses the Rollins Conference Plan In part he says: "One of the things that we believe is happening at Rollins is the development of a method or technique that will enable college students to take a larger part as active intellectual agents in their own education That, in a word, is the theme and philosophy underlying the interesting experiment in which my college is engaged." Current History Magazine, July: A review of "Studies in American Imperialism" refers to "Our Cuban Colony," a study in sugar by Dr Leland H Jenks, Professor of History in Rollins, as "ably written and the radical bias of its author has served a very useful purpose in inducing a thoroughly skeptical spirit of inquiry and of criticism which has brought out the facts as the acid brings out the impressions on a photographic negative." New York Sun, Aug 11: Paragraph from a report of the Institute of Politics at Williams College: "Discussing Mexico's financial status before the round table conference on inter-American relations, Prof L H Jenks of Rollins College, Florida, declared the financial question was the most critical problem in Mexico's external affairs today." Springfield (Mass.) Republican, Aug 17: "To away with formalism in education, to get personable individuals to instruct faithful students in a happy environment, these are the aims of Hamilton Holt, President of Rollins College, as he outlined them to the members of the Exchange Club this noon." Globe Democrat, St Louis, Mo., Aug 29: An editorial, one column in length, discussed the Caribbean policy of the United States, using as a basis the reported statements of Dr L H Jenks of Rollins at the Institute of Politics, Williamstown, Mass THE ROLLINS ALUMNI RECORD for SEPTEMBER, 192 Bridgeport {Conn.) Post, Sept 5: "Vast changes in methods of instruction in the past generation and an idea of the plan followed in building up Rollins College were alluded to at a luncheon of the Advertising Club Tuesday when President Hamilton Holt told of the methods of instruction adopted." Bridgeport (Conn.) Telegram, Sept 5: (Editorial) "It may be that Rollins College is pioneering in an educational adventure that will lead to a revolution in the academic world At the very least it has already focussed attention upon the outstanding faults of the system of mass education now so popular in America, and is causing the great universities to pause and take stock of themselves." Harpers Magazine, September: From an article on recent educational innovations: "There is no best method of instruction, whether in the home, the school, or the college Education does not succeed or fail on the issue of methodology but on the capacity and the personality of the teacher himself That ought to be commonplace but it is not Otherwise we should hardly have these perennial announcements from Rollins or Ripon, from Tucson or Tuscaloosa, that some one has discovered in the two-hour conference, or the pro-seminar, or the socialized recitation, a new educational alchemy which enables the undergraduate to get educated without exertion, no matter what kind of faculty the college employs "No more shall some ex-cathedra dogmatist deliver his pontifical discourses from the rostrum with no opportunity for the benches to hit back; but teacher and pupil will exchange ideas, like Socrates and Plato Encourage the freshman to assume a 'challenging attitude' towards everything which the instructor may say, be it an assertion that the earth is a sphere, or that the poles are colder than the equator, or that the Dutch have captured Amsterdam Develop his spirit of criticism, his propensity to disagree If this does not make the undergraduate a more intelligent citizen, it will at least qualify him as a municipal reformer." Dr Nice has ambition for the conservatory That will a great deal toward making this the most successful musical year that Rollins has ever had HOLT-ROTIVAL Miss Leila Stuart Holt, daughter of President and Mrs Hamilton Holt, was married to Mr Maurice Rotival on August at Woodstock, Conn., the Holt summer home Dr Charles A Campbell, Professor of Bible, performed the ceremony and Herman Siewert, of the Conservatory faculty, rendered the musical program Twenty-two Rollins and Winter Park people were present for the ceremony and the reception that followed Mr and Mrs Rotival will make their home in Paris, France, where Mr Rotival is interested in a large number of business and engineering activities DARLINGTON-YARBOROUGH Of cordial interest to friends is the announcement of the marriage of Miss Hazel I Darlington of Bithlo and Mr James Yarborough of Gastonia, N C, which was an event of Sunday, July 15, at the First Presbyterian Church with the Rev J Blanton Belk officiating Miss Darlington, a daughter of Mr and Mrs E M Darlington of Bithlo, has been a student at the Rollins Conservatory of Music for the past three years and has done splendid work in voice Mr Yarborough is chief engineer with the WDBO broadcasting station at Orlando The young couple are at home at 72 East Concord avenue, Orlando A CORRECTION Through an error in a former issue of THE ALUMNI RECORD the name of Helen McKay Lindsey's son was misprinted His correct name is William McKay Lindsey THE ROLLINS ALUMNI RECORD for SEPTEMBER, 1928 Opening of the Forty-fourth Year in 1885 as the first institution of higher learning in Florida, Rollins College opened its doors for the academic year 192829 on September 26, well launched on a program of educational pioneering that has begun to attract the attention of the educational world and reflect much credit on the progressiveness of the state of Florida Rollins is entering its third year of the Conference Plan of Study which is based on the theory that genuine comradeship in learning is possible only in a small college where professors are not merely great names and students not merely insignificant, and where a student may receive the maximum of individualized instruction and influence from his professor In proportion to the number of students Rollins has one of the largest corps of professors of any college in the country because President Holt believes one teacher to every ten students is the correct ratio In building up the Rollins faculty President Holt is associating with himself men and women who possess the rare gift of teaching, who are interested in the human side of the student and who possess the ability to inspire young people In other words, "golden personalities" as he calls them The "golden personalities" for 1928-29 are as follows:—Winslow S Anderson, A.M., Dean of Men;

His educational leadership, administrative ability, and force of character have won him an enviable position not only in our community, where he has found time to take an active part in both church and civic affairs, but also throughout the state He has been in great demand as a lecturer, especially by churches, service clubs, and high schools, and has often been called into consultation by the educational leaders of Florida "Dr Carrothers, more than anyone else, deserves the credit for bringing Rollins into the Association of Secondary Schools and Colleges of the Southern States and the American Council of Education He leaves Rollins with the good will and best wishes of our students and faculty and enters his new position in one of the greatest universities with every prospect of a distinguished future in educational leadership." In explanation to the revision of the executive duties of the Dean's office, and the new appointments, President Holt said: "Professor Winslow S Anderson, who has assumed Winslow S Anderson, newly appointed Dean of Men and Acting Dean of Rollins College his duties as Dean of Men at Rollins, is no stranger in Florida In 192122 he came to Rollins as Professor of Chemistry after having been graduated at the head of his class with Phi Beta Kappa honors at Bates Colege in Maine The following year he took his master's degree at the University of Minnesota after which he taught chemistry at the North Carolina State College and served as consultant in chemistry for a number of industrial concerns "In 1924 Dean Anderson organized the Theta Kappa Nu National fraternity, of which Rollins had one of the charter chapters As its national president Dean Anderson has directed the remarkable growth and development of this Greek letter society until it now has 45 chapters in the leading colleges and universities of America, and has accumulated a surplus fund of over $20,000 Dean Anderson is a man of both achievement and promise and Rollins, as well as the state of Florida, is fortunate in the happy arrangement that brings him to us." "Mrs Ada Collins Holme who will share with Dean Anderson the re- sponsibilities of the Dean's office, and especially direct activities of the Rollins girls, is a graduate of Smith College and of Columbia University She is also a graduate of the Prince School of Personnel Management and has served as Personal Editor of the 'Women's Wear,' a magazine Her understanding of girls and her experience in vocational guidance will be of inestimable value to us in providing for Rollins girls unusual opportunities for personal development Her various experiences in industry and education will enable her to co-operate with Dean Anderson in continuing to raise the standards of Florida's oldest institution of higher learning." Dr James Sullivan, Assistant Commissioner for Higher and Professional Education of the University of the State of New York, has just announced the registration by the State Department of Education of New York of the courses of study of Rollins College leading to the degree of B.A and B.S This new recognition of the standards of Rollins College entitles graduates of this Florida institution to college graduate teachers certificates in the state of New York, an honor held by a limited number of colleges throughout the country During the past year the standards of Rollins have been singularly recognized First by the admission of the college into the Association of Colleges of the Southern States last December, which gives unquestioned transfer privileges to all other institutions, and later, by admission to the American Council of Education One contact between students and such personalities is made possible through the Tuesday Evening Lecture Course sponsored by the Chapel Association under Dr Charles A Campbell On the list of widely known men who will appear on the lecture platform this year is Count Sferza, the Prime Minister of Italy in the Nitti Cabinet He was a former minister to China as well as the former Italian Delegate to the League of Nations Count Sferza comes to Rollins under the auspices of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, and it is expected that he will remain in Winter Park for six weeks with the Countess and their two children 10 THE ROLLINS- ALUMNI RECORD for SEPTEMBER, Lake Virginia from RolUns Campus 1928 THE ROLLINS ALUMNI CLASS OF '31 Jerry Miller continued his study in art this summer in New York Cyril Cockrel spent the summer in his old home town of Burbanks, Ohio CLASS OF '28 Gertrude Ward, who received her A.B degree with a major in business, has accepted a position with the Winter Park Land Company and took up her duties the first of August She spent two weeks in July at their summer home near Asheville, N C Herbert B arbor has entered the medical school at Emory University Florence McKay returned several weeks ago from an enjoyable summer spent in travel She, with her parents, visited many interesting places in Ohio, Canada, New York, Pennsylvania and the Virginias They also spent several weeks at their summer home in Cloudland, Ga., before returning to Florida Florence took up her duties at once as instructor at the Montverde School She is teaching English and Latin Emily Whitmore spent a delightful summer with her parents in Maine Miss Whitmore is teaching in the Lake City High School this winter Elizabeth Atkinson is teaching Public School work in the Tampa, Florida, schools Louise Holland is private secretary to one of the leading lawyers in Bartow, Florida CLASS OF '28 "Red" Winderweedle entered the Law School of the University of Florida this fall He was in Winter Park over the week-end visiting his Alma Mater Red declares there is "no place like Rollins."
