It has recently been announced by the administration that Mrs. Catherine Wood Marshall has ac cepted an invitation to speak at Flora Macdonald’s fifty-eighth commencement exercises on May 31, 1954. Last .year at the time of the Convocation Mrs. Marshall ex pressed regret that she was un able to participate in that pro gram here because of other en gagements. In a recent telephone conversation with Dr. Price H. Gwynn, she affirmed that she will be present on our campus this May. The year after she was gra duated from Agnes Scott College, Mrs. Marshall married Peter Marshall who became outstanding in his ministry at the New York Avenue Presbyterian Church in Washington, D. C. and as chap lain for the United,States Senate. When he suddenly died, leaving her with a nine-year-o)d son, she converted several of his sermons into the familiar Mr. Jones, Meet the Master which immediately became a best-seller. This led to her beautifully biography of her husband, A Man Called Peter. Mrs. Marshall is a wholehearted, resourceful woman who has man- ffested an interest in Christian education and has elevated wo manhood of this generation. Mrs. Marshall was selected un animously by the Senior Class, who feel they are indeed fortun ate in having her visit this cam pus.

I Richmond, art consultant and re presentative of American Artists Color Works, Inc., Ridgewood, N. J. and was sponsored on this cam pus by Miss Annie Cherry and Miss Mary Conoly of the Educa tion Department and Miss Char lotte Womble, Head of the Home Economics Department and In structor in Art.

The workshop was attended by student teachers in the Senior Class, including Elementary Edu cation majors and Secondary ma jors in various fields.

Each of the well-planned ses sions proved very enlightening. On the first afternoon Mr. Rich mond began by saying that “this is a concentrated art experience” and then-went on to tell the group a little about various aspects of art. Art involves creativeness, imagination, sincerity, and ana lysis, and gives confidence and faith in oneself. In using art one begins to see things that would have been overlooked ordinarily. Mr. Richmond explained some “tricks” or art which will add much to paintings, such as bal ance of value and action, illus ions of distance, and position of animals. He emphasized simpli city in pictures: not making something hard out of something easy. In speaking of color, Mr. Rich mond discussed the color wheel, the value of color — tints and shades — and color schemes.

Scott, Professor of English here, spoke during the chapel service on Monday, February 22. Dr. Wray is at present on detached duty while on a mission of visit ing 25 colleges and univer sities along the Altantic Seaboard including Duke University and the University of North Carolina. Speaking on ‘Our American Heritage,” Dr. Wray brought forth some cardinial points about this heritage, which she observed while visiting the Congressional Library several years ago. The greatest of all, as this country came into being, was the em phasis placed upon the Bible. The forefathers of this country acr knowledged the existence of a Being who was guilding their destiny; they were a God-cen tered group. Other cardinal points recogniz ed by Dr. Wray are embodied in the words “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness” found in the Declaration of Independence. In speaking of life, she stated that in this heritage there is some thing that suggests that the pres ent generation owes much to its ancestors. She went on to say that every life is important, while in other lands this concept is not fully exercised. Liberty is of many languages and suggests many privileges. In dividuals are allowed to do pret ty much as they please in this or dered society, but many freedoms, such as of the press, are not shared by many people in other lands. In speaking of the pursuit of happiness. Dr. Wray mentioned the opportunities available in music, art, literature, and many other fields and reminded the audience that people outside are watching this nation and observ ing how the American heritage is used. Dr. Wray challenged the group to think about this heritage and to live up to the highest capaci ties, and added that there is a great Director of this country to help individuals to realize their greatest capacities.
