Dr. Lillian Parker Wallace, as
sociate professor of history and
government and acting head of
the history department at Mere
dith College has just had pub
lished a historical study, “The
Papacy and European Diplo
macy.” This is her third book
on historical subjects, but the
first that she has .done alone.
Her other two were written in
collaboration with Dr. Alice
Barnwell Keith, also a member
of the faculty at Meredith.
“Closely related to the con
tention between church and
state is this study of diplomatic
history as it was affected by the
papal policies during an exciting
decade,” Dr. Wallace says.
“The years 1869 to 1878
witnessed not only the triumph
of the papacy but also its great
est tragedy, for Rome, the Eter
nal City, passed out of the
possession of Pope Pius IX into
the hands of the king of Italy
. . . and attempts of clericals to
bring about intervention by
other European states led to
more important international
complications. . . .”
When asked how she came to
choose this phase of European
history on which to base her
volume. Dr. Wallace said,” As I
began weaving at my loom of
the study of the diplomatic his
tory of the seventies I kept find
ing a scarlet thread running in
and out of the warp and woof
of material. It intrigued me so
much that I determined to fol
low this thread and make it the
center of the pattern. The de
sign I have found most reward
ing.”
Before coming to Meredith,
Mrs. Wallace had been a mem
ber of the faculty of the Uni
versity of Denver, and in the
past twenty-five years she has
taught in the summer sessions
at Wake Forest College, State
College, and Meredith.
She received the degree of
Bachelor of Arts from the Uni
versity of Denver; Master of
Science from State College; and
Doctor of Philosophy from Duke,
where she was elected to Phi
Beta Kappa. She has also done
graduate work at Wake Forest
and at the University of North
Carolina.
Dr. Wallace’s interests are
varied and seemingly endless.
Some of her fields of interests
are history, education, music,
tennis, boating, painting, gar
dening, entertaining, and the

Hay! News from the Sopho

latest is Chinese. If a student
poll were taken the outcome
would show in some measure
the high esteem and regard in
which Mrs. Wallace is held not
only by individuals here at
Meredith but by the groups as
a whole.
