ST. MARY’S HONORS DR. STONE
April 13-19 has been a
special week at St. Mary's.
This week has been picked
to honor Dr. Stone, and all
activities this week have
been centered around him in
hopes that the school could
thank him for his 23 out
standing years of service as
president of St. Mary’s.
Dr. Stone is a native of
Baltimore, received his B.A.
at Western Maryland Col
lege and earned his Ph.D.
in economics at John Hop
kins University. He was also
granted an honorary degree
by Western Maryland Col
lege. After teaching at Wof
ford College, he joined the
faculty at Converse College
where he was a professor of
economics and the chairman
of the department.
In World War II he was
in the army in the Intelli
gence Division and was dis
charged with the rank of
major. He was stationed in
Atlanta and was the chief
of the Personnel Security Branch of the 3rd army there. He was awarded the Army
Commendation Ribbon.
At St. Mary’s, he has been involved in educational and church affairs. He is a
past president of the N. C. Association of Colleges and Universities and seryp on
the College Commission of the Southern Association of Colleges and Universities.
He is a member of Good Shepherd Episcopal Church; at four different times
he has represented his diocese at the General Convention, the highest parliamentary
body of the Episcopal Church. From 1958-1964, he was a member of the executive
council of the Episcopal Church. Dr. Stone has been also active in the civic life in
Raleigh. He is a past president of the Raleigh Rotary Club.
Sunday, April 13, started this week off with a chapel service especially dedi
cated to Dr. Stone. Mr. Melcher of Good Shepherd was the guest preacher. Tuesday
the renowned pianist, Marcellos gave his twelfth concert at St. Mary’s and dedicated
Schumann’s Introduction and Allegro Appasionato, Op. 92 to Dr. Stone. Wednesday
in assembly the students presented a skit about Dr. Stone's life and presented him
with a beautiful English antique silver punch bowl. That night the staff and faculty
gave him a party and also presented him with a color television set. Thursday
night at 7:30 in North Hills the St. Mary’s Raleigh Alumnae sponsored a Fashion
Show. Friday and Saturday of this week involved many activities and meetings with
the Visitation Committee and the Board of Trustees. The week will end with a
banquet at the Velvet Cloak.
There are many ways to say thank you to Dr. Stone, but none can better ex
press this feeling than a toast written by Mary Morrison Pennington for Dr. Stone at
the senior class banquet:
DR. RICHARD G. STONE.
Of all tfie stones that I can think
Jewels, rocks, bruises, drinks
There is one more.
A goodly sort of stone it be.
A milestone, yet it seems to me
Bos come to rest and spread its gleam
On all who see it. It surely seems
A jewel, for its wisdom shines with goodness
though; , ^ j .
A rock, for strength and fortitude too;
A bruise, not yet though it has been through
trials on end ... the year is near end
A drink, for from its sources comes a foun
tain of what the young will learn.
There is a song, “Something Wonderful,*
know
Which speaks from our hearts of one who is
to ffo- . , . t .
It tells of a man who thinks with his heait,
A man who is wise, who lores, who tries.
Who says not always what you would have
him say
But he will always say — “Something
Wonderful.
Belt always need your lore,
You’ll always give your lore.
This man who ha.s our love, Dr. Stone, is
Wonderful.’’
