Mrs. McCain Gives Recipe For Retirement:
Slow Down Long Enough To Plan Europe Trip
“I just decided ft was time for
itne to get back home and do
what I wanted to do!”
So Mrs. Paul P. McCain (call
ed “Sadie” just about every
where), described one reason for
resigning her position as Dean of
Women at Flora Macdonald Col
lege as announced last week.
But she was quick to add a
qualifying sentence: “I loved it—
don’t make any mistake about
that! I loved the girls and I lov
ed the people I worked with. Be
ing with the college was fine ex
perience. Just the same, it will
be good to slow down, at least
for a bit.”
But it soon became evident
that by “slow down,” Sadie
didn’t mean what most people
mean. Or by “staying at home”,

either.
In the very next sentence she
was telling about the trip she
planned for this summer. It is
to start in July and will include
the Scandinavian countries and
the English lake district. . . and
anything else in England and
Scotland that she can squeeze
into her itinerary.
“And then: home? And where
wUl that be?”
Home will still be here; and
that’s good news, for at one time
she had thought of selling her
home on Ridge Street. But also
she plans to take a room in Wil-
give her medical brother a little
competition.
And then, of course, there is
the thought of her youngest
daughter, Jane Todd, and her
husband, the Rev. Sam Reagan, in
far-off Japan. It’s a fair guess
that Sadie has already got some
Japanese time tables tucked
away somewhere ready for use
within the next few years. “I
HAVE to go to see Jane Todd
and the babies,” she says. (But
not to see Japan, Sadie?)
Before Mrs. McCain left the
college, it was annoxmced that
the students had asked, and been
granted, the privilege of naming
the second floor West hall “Mc
Cain Hall,” in honor of their be
loved dean.
Among the gifts presented to
her on her departure was a set
of airplane luggage marked with
a Scottish motif, the gift of the
student body. From the alumnae
came a silver tray inscribed co
Mrs. McCain. The presentation
speech, made by Miss Mary
Archie Brown, head of the stu
dent body, is printed below.
“I have come on behalf of the
F. M. C. Alumnae Association to
pay tribute to one of the best
known and best loved women in
our state and certainly the best
known and best loved person at
F. M. C., Mrs. Paul P. McCain.
“It IS impossible to list the
great realm, of activities in
which Mrs. McCain has been a
part, giving devotion, leader
ship and timeless service. Before
coming to F. M. C. as Dean of
Women in 1950, she was an out-

“While I was talking with one
of our faculty members the other
day it was said that the sole
guiding force in Mrs. McCain’s
life could be said in one word.
Love. To me, this is the key to
her life. She loves life, she
knows the value of it, and lives
every moment of it to the fullest,
revealing always the Spirit of
Our Lord. Mrs. McCain, in her
twenty-four hour schedule here,
has not only given understand
ing, patience, love, help, kind
ness, and guidance to each girl,
but she has given her very self
to the making of Christian Wom
anhood.
“We F. M. C. girls have gone
forth from this coUege stamped
with something words cannot
express. It dwells in the quiet
ness of our inner selves, yet it is
reflected in all that we do or say.
This something can only be ex
pressed in the life of Mrs. Mc
Cain, our Mother always. Mrs.
McCain, this ^ft is just a small
expression of our love and
thanks.”
