May 21, 1954 THE TWIG Page five Dr. Louise Lanham Retires After Eighteen Years Service to Meredith Dr. Louise Lanham is shown above in her classroom. By VIVIAN BYRD “Come in,” said Dr. Louise Lan ham as she smilingly invited me into her classroom where she was holding a one-thirty office hour, a practice that is just one example of her service to Meredith students. Dr. Lanham, after eighteen years at Meredith, is retiring at the end of this term to return to her large, old-fashioned home in Spartan burg, S. C. Here she will take care of her ninety-year-old mother who is “remarkably active,” Dr. Lanham says. A native of Spartanburg, S. C., and the daughter of a country doc tor, Dr. Lanham journeyed to Lynchburg, Va., for her college training. She received her A.B. de gree with a major in English from Randolph-Macon Woman’s College. Her graduate work was done at the University of North Carolina from which she received her Ph.D. de gree in 1936. Dr. Lanham liked lan guages while she was in college and took, along with English, as many languages as she could. Greek is one of the ones that she studied. Teaching has always been satis fying and interesting to Dr. Lanham. Upon graduation from Randolph- Macon, she worked as an instructor in English there. She also taught at Lander College in Greenwood, S. C., and at Columbia College in Columbia, S. C., before coming to Meredith. At these last two institu tions she served, as well, as dean of women. “It doesn’t seem possible,” says Dr. Lanham, thinking about the eighteen years that she has been here. “My work here has been, as someone has said, almost the kind of work you’d pay someone to let you do.” She has found it satisfying Phillip’s Beauty Salon Hair Stylist Permanent Waving PHONE 9982 6 East Martin Street Over Mayo's Raleigh, N.

Salisbury Street Raleigh, N. C. Gifts to Meredith College from graduating classes have been ap propriate indications of the times. Some examples are as follows: in 1915, the seniors donated to the Belgian War Relief Fund; the 1918 girls bought an American flag and $200.00 worth of war bonds; the seniors of 1928 gave $200.00 to help the college debt; moreover, the 1932 and 1933 classes had amounts in the closed Commercial National Bank; and during World War II the classes of ’42 and ’43 bought $300.00 in defense bonds. Other years the seniors have con tributed to the need of the college. The class of 1902 donated $350.00 to start an endowment fund; 1911 girls gave $680 and those of ’19 added $650. An unusual gift was provided by the ’07 seniors — a skeleton for physiology class. Two casts of Greek sculptors were left by ’13. Some benches for the court and the sundial, which used to be near Faircloth in the court, were given by the class of 1917. Two stone benches were donated by ’22, and a marble bench was left by 1926. Two pillars were given for the gate by the ’27 group, and the ’36 girls left funds for the cement walks by the Johnson Hall steps. Also the three classes of ’38, ’39, ’40 contributed to paving what was called Front Avenue, which we call “the drive.” Other than these gifts, there were funds left for the home economics department’s library in 1914, a cur tain for the old auditorium stage (1916 and 1929), and new furn ishings for the college parlors (1921). The classes of 1931 and 1937 provided for furniture for the rotunda, which a guest speaker has recently called “the sunken garden.” Caps and gowns were bought by ’23 and ’41. But more pertinent to this col lege generation, the class of 1952 gave furnishings for the foyer of Jones Hall, and 1953 provided the speaker’s stand and stage furniture. A portrait of Mr. O. L. Stringfield was given by the class of 1912. The 1924 girls followed this thought with an oil portrait made of Dr. Charles E. Brewer. This year’s class has contributed a sum of money to the fund for the portrait of Dr. Carlyle Campbell. This project has been a campus-wide effort. Thus it can be seen that the Meredith graduating classes have shown imagination and feeling in their variety of gifts.
