WHAT OTHERS SAY

THE VIRGINIAN-PILOT of Norfolk in an

extended notice said: "The Flamingo, in our

opinion, is the most neatly executed student peri-

odical of them all It is advertised as 'a literary

magazine of the youngest generation.' It seems

to be the best of that generation."

THE JACKSONVILLE TIMES-UNION:

"As distinctive and unusual as its outer appear-

ance are the contents of The Flamingo 'The Re-

turn of Amos' has atmosphere with a strong deli-

cate touch and an indefinable element of the mys-

terious The thirteen poems indicative of a pene-

trating observation and sophistication rarely ex-

pressed by young students have both imagination

and substance."

WHAT OTHERS SAY

PROFESSOR HILL, Whittier College, Calif.:

"The Flamingo is the best magazine of the younger generation I have seen."

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 under- graduate publication But The Flamingo inter-

ested 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!"

EDITORIAL COMMENT

MR WESTINGHOUSE

PRAISES ROLLINS

eREAT business and professional

leaders are beginning to study

carefully the merits and de-

merits of the American educational

system One of the foremost men

of the country, H H Westinghouse,

whose utterances are of the utmost

importance, recently referred to Rol-

lins as follows:

"I have been somewhat familiar

with the operations of Rollins Col-

lege for over forty years, and regard

it as an institution that is particular-

ly worthy of support because of its

location in a section of the country

that is greatly in need and can be

greatly benefitted by an active in-

stitution of its character

"In the past, with very limited

resources, it has rendered valuable

service under trying circumstances,

contributing educational opportuni-

ties at very moderate cost to many

who would find it difficult if not im-

possible to seek education at more

remote locations The effort now

being made to secure financial sup-

port is headed by Dr Hamilton

Holt who, within a relatively brief

period, has greatly stimulated the

activities of the college, and through

an improved method of administra-

tion is justified in hopefully believ-

ing that it will be an important con-

tribution to an educational advance."

NEW BIRTH IN FLORIDA

ONE of the most fascinating

academic adventures of the day

is at Winter Park While sev-

eral 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 na-

tural resistance of traditional educa-

tion Hydro-electric power had no

great significance until long-distance

power transmission was created for

its service It is this almost miracu-

lous service which enables hydro-

electric 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

The first great need was to over- come 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 prelimin- ary 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 tele- graphing 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 ques- tions which neither his father nor his professor can answer

Rollins College is doing the acad- emic 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 psy-

chological wire.—Reprinted from the

June 11 issue of the Journal of Edu- cation

\^'HE editor makes a general ap-

4 Jpeal to alumni to offer sugges-

^^^ tions of topics upon which they should like to see discussion in these pages Articles from alumni touch- ing 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 pos- sess a tendency to carry thought- provoking articles

of Harriet Maltbie Millea who passed away recently Although not

a graduate of Rollins she was a stu- dent for a number of years and passed many happy days in Clover- leaf She was always loyal to her alma mater and followed its devel-

THE PASSING OF DR EMILIE

WATTS McVEA-

^.'HE death of Dr Emilie Watts l^jMcVea, which occurred the lat- ter part of July, is an irrepar- able 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 car- eer

As Dean of Women of the Uni- versity of Cincinnati Dr McVea oc- cupied a position of such increasing usefulness and distinction that she was recognized as one of the fore- most 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 respons- ibilities 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 con- ditions of Florida contributed so readily to her improvement that President Holt induced Dr McVea

to undertake a part time professor- ship 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 Every- one who has come under the influ- ence of her character will bear testi- mony to the fact that few women have so happily combined high intel- lectual attainments, executive ability, moral poise and personal charm as she did She was truly a great teach-

er and a great woman, endowed with the genius of inspiring young people

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 as- suaged and leave only-the cherished memory of the loved one

Speaking on "The Influence of

the Colleges in Our Foreign Rela-

tions," Hon Chester D Pugsley,

who addressed the student body in

Winter Park last spring, said in

part: "Our colleges are making a

great contribution to our foreign re-

lations not only in exchange and

visiting professors 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 Amer-

ican institutions are here by virtue of

special scholarships, and this gen-

erous provision for nationals of other

countries enables most of these stu-

dents to come to this country for

study."

Mr Pugsley's comments served as

the basis of the program for the eve-

ning President Holt followed with

an announcement that a generous

friend of the college had provided

a benefaction making it possible for

six foreign students to enter Rollins

this fall,—one from each of the fol-

lowing countries: France, Italy, Ger-

many, Switzerland, Czecho-Slovakia

and Hungary

The next speaker was Archie M

Palmer, Assistant Director of the

Institute of International Education,

under the auspices of which organiz-

ation, these students are transferred

Mr Palmer explained the Institute's

object and the results obtained by

the transfer of foreign students He

expressed the hope that Rollins stu-

dents might transfer to foreign uni-

versities for advanced study

Maurice Rotival, Chairman of the

French Committee to select students

from that country for Rollins, next

outlined the methods of education in

France and suggested plans for car-

rying out the transfer project for

his own countrymen Mr Rotival is

a son-in-law of President Holt

The final speaker on the program

was President Holt who told of

plans for increasing the endowment,

announced faculty changes and gave

Clarence C Nice, director of the Rollins college conservatory, has completed plans for the opening of many new musical activities for the coming college year Dr Nice suc- ceeds Frederic Sturges Andrews as director He will have general charge of the vocal department and expects to have some worthwhile singing organizations in Rollins this year Dr Nice is not only a very fine director but is also an artist

He was formerly musical director

of the La Scala Grande Opera company, which was in Orlando two years ago Mr Nice has proven himself a musician many times over Last spring he organized and con- ducted the First Annual Orange County Music Festival, probably the finest musical program that has ever been given in this part of the coun- try Mr Nice has a great many ideals for the further development

of the conservatory Many of his plans are already in operation and

he will go far in making the Rollins School of Music one of the best in

the South

Rollins in the J\(ezvs of the T>ay

Boston Transcript, June 19:

"With Hamilton Holt, President of

Rollins, as its commencement speak-

er, Boston University held its 55th

annual graduation exercises in the

Boston Arena, where 13,000 alumni,

friends and relatives of the gradu-

ates crowded the building to capaci-

ty More than 1,000 degrees were

awarded."

Boston Globe, June 19: "The

award of 3 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 yester-

day, came as a surprise to the en-

tire gathering."

Boston Globe, June 19: (From

President Holt's commencement ad-

dress at Boston University) "It is

personality and character that count

in a professor, and not the knowl-

edge on tap."

New York Times, June 19: (From

President Hamilton Holt's com-

mencement address at Boston Uni-

versity discussing the Rollins Con-

ference Plan of Study) : "Under this

plan the student progresses as rapid-

ly as his ability permits and his re-

lation 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 read-

able account of 'Our Cuban Colony'

exonerates Wall St from respons-

ibility 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, Ed-

win Osgood Grover, Professor of

Books in Rollins College, was men-

tioned 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 disinter-

ested in its relations with the Cuban

Republic; but, economically, the

country is in the power of American

business."

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 journal- istic records which nobody has tapped before."

New York World, July 15: In a

column article, describing the Rollins Conference Plan of Study, the fol- lowing quotation from President Holt is given: "I have four ideals for Rollins College: that it shall al- ways be a small institution, limited

to 700 students; that it shall special- ize 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."

Yonkers, (N Y.) Herald, July 18:

In a feature story, illustrated by a two-column cut of President Holt, the Rollins Conference Plan is dis- cussed as one of the leading educa- tional undertakings of the present day by the Herald which calls Rol- lins, "the undergraduates' Eldora- do." In quoting President Holt the article says: "Personality makes the great teacher We are all familiar with the teacher with the golden per- sonality 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 nobil- ity of character and the gift of teach- ing which alone can inspire youth."

The Little Age (New York) July:

"F J Frank has been in the busi- ness paper publishing business for

30 years Two years after he re- ceived his A.B degree at Rollins, he joined the Colliery Engineer, and 8 years later he became Chicago rep- resentative of the Mining and Scien- tific Press Before 2 years more had passed he was with the Iron Age

Within a year he was elected secre- tary of the firm, and 7 years later

he became vice-president Apparent-

ly he did not care much for vice- presidenting for he held that job only 3 years, taking over the presi- dency of the company in 1920 Since then he has been elected president

of the United Publishers Corpora- tion, which is the owner of the Iron Age and many other business pa- pers."

(Mr Frank is a trustee of Rollins and President of the Rollins Club

of New York)

The Progressive Education Maga- zine 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 tech- nique that will enable college stu- dents to take a larger part as active intellectual agents in their own edu- cation 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 His- tory in Rollins, as "ably written and the radical bias of its author has served a very useful purpose in in- ducing a thoroughly skeptical spirit

of inquiry and of criticism which has brought out the facts as the acid brings out the impressions on a pho- tographic negative."

New York Sun, Aug 11: Para-

graph 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 do away with formal-

ism in education, to get personable individuals to instruct faithful stu- dents in a happy environment, these are the aims of Hamilton Holt, Pres- ident of Rollins College, as he out- lined them to the members of the Ex- change Club this noon."

Globe Democrat, St Louis, Mo., Aug 29: An editorial, one column in

length, discussed the Caribbean pol- icy of the United States, using as a basis the reported statements of Dr

L H Jenks of Rollins at the Insti- tute of Politics, Williamstown, Mass

THE ROLLINS ALUMNI RECORD for SEPTEMBER, 192

Bridgeport {Conn.) Post, Sept 5:

"Vast changes in methods of instruc-

tion 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 Ham-

ilton 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 fo-

cussed attention upon the outstand-

ing faults of the system of mass edu-

cation now so popular in America,

and is causing the great universities

to pause and take stock of them-

selves."

Harpers Magazine, September:

From an article on recent education-

al innovations: "There is no best

method of instruction, whether in the

home, the school, or the college Ed-

ucation 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 Other-

wise we should hardly have these

perennial announcements from Rol-

lins or Ripon, from Tucson or Tus-

caloosa, that some one has discover-

ed in the two-hour conference, or the

pro-seminar, or the socialized recita-

tion, a new educational alchemy

which enables the undergraduate to

get educated without exertion, no

matter what kind of faculty the col-

lege employs

"No more shall some ex-cathedra

dogmatist deliver his pontifical dis-

courses from the rostrum with no op-

portunity for the benches to hit

back; but teacher and pupil will ex-

change ideas, like Socrates and

Plato Encourage the freshman to

assume a 'challenging attitude' to-

wards everything which the instruc-

tor 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 Ams-

terdam Develop his spirit of criti-

cism, his propensity to disagree If

this does not make the undergradu-

ate a more intelligent citizen, it will

at least qualify him as a municipal

reformer."
