Travel Makes History Come Alive
Dr. Underwood Says Of Experience
EIGHTY (1935-36) and still
in tender youth. Mars Hill heard
Miss Francis Perkins, then Secre
tary of Labor of the United
States, address a chapel meeting
in late fall on the commanding
topic “. . . moral and ethical
principles underlying social se
curity legislation” . . . and liked
it. The matter concluded, the
Secretary filled an abundant
number of requests for her auto
graph, went to a Madison rug
shop, and then returned to an
Asheville conference of the
lAIABS she was at the time at
tending.
From Other
Campuses...
College freshmen and prospec
tive freshmen take heart! A spe
cial faculty committee at Yale
has recommended a revamping of
the curriculum and the handling
of first-year students.
The committee’s report finds
that the traditional Freshman
Year on the New Haven campus
is becoming obsolete. It recom
mends that the freshmen be split
up and housed with upperclass
men and not treated as a separate
campus.
Student Government is having
its hard knocks at Pfeiffer Col
lege in Misenheimer, N. C. Seek
ing a clearer definition of its
rights and responsibilities, the
Student Government inactivated
itself. The Administration called
for new elections to the student
group and its reactivation.
Two Howard Payne College
students in Brownwood, Texas,
who bill themselves as “Paul and
Paula,” have led the national pa
rade of hit songs for four weeks
with a recording called “Hey,
Paula.”
By late March Ray Hildebrand
and Jill Jackson were seeing their
record approach the two million
mark in sales and their album
“Songs for Young Lovers” is in
the top twenty across the nation.

A history teacher worth her
salt, Dr. Evelyn Underwood not
only talks about history — she
has been where much of the
world’s important history has oc
curred.
As most of the pupils of this
“new history teacher” know, her
insights into enlightening reluc
tant students can be most discon
certing; she literally cuts through
the bluff! Nor is the “new teach
er” — who first taught at Mars
Hill in 1944 and returned this
year from a four-year leave of
absence to earn the Ph.D. degree
at the University of North Caro
lina — a person to quail at mere
ignorance. When Gen. MacArthur
lands in the middle of the War of
1812 or, through some student’s
protesting his own world, Viet
nam bangs into agrarian reform.
Dr. Underwood clarifies the mat
ters as best she can — even if
it involves a few moments of class
dissention instead of a simple stu
dent-teacher debate — before she
returns to her lecture.
Ag almost every student who
has interrupted her class with
such side viewpoints has found.
Dr. Underwood can relate inci
dents of past to current history
(and vice versa) appreciably.
How does a history teacher
learn to relate the past and the
present or clarify the present
through the past? How does she
learn to clarify the present when
a dissimilar subject, such as the
Vietnam-agrarian reform exam
ple, intrudes?
The good doctor is rightly more
than just “bookish” in her ap
proach to the problem. She has
traveled and studied in Europe—
her special field—a total of three
full summers since 1949. Here are
some of the things she has to say
about the value of travels and
why, if a student can afford
them, they make studies more
Remember Joy,
Simple Sermon
Sermons — some banal and
some rather refreshing — are
commonplace at Mars Hill, but
Reader’s Digest reports one of
the shortest and brightest that
anyone could want:
At an Impromptu testimonial
service at her church an elderly
Negro woman was asked the se
cret of her happiness as evidenced
by her always-smiling face. After
a moment’s thought she replied,
“Joy; just that one word —
J-O-Y!”
When quizzed about her answ
er, she explained, “Folks don’t
smile enough. If they think of
Joy, maybe they would go around
looking less glum. “J” stands for
Jesus, “O” is for others and “Y”
is for yourself. Jesus, Others,
Yourself; then you got JOY.”

meaningful:
“It makes history come alive to
walk the roads of people one has
read about in a book. It puts
blood in their veins. I had always
struggled through the Holy Ro
man Empire and the Thirty Years
War. It is one of the most diffi
cult periods of European history
to study or teach.
“On the Rhine, when you pass
one castle after another and be
gin to realize these were the
homes of those lords you read
about, the patterns become clear
er in your mind. The pages of
that section of the history book
begin to be something more than
just dry pages.
“Very frankly, I went to Eng
land most prejudiced against the
English. Snobbish? They are not.
London is like a great big, little
town in so many ways that the
matter seems to come down to
personalities, not a cold nation
ality at all.
“You can stop on the street to
look at the flowers in a lady’s
yard all you wish — it was one of
the things I enjoyed most. The
English love flowers. Everyone
has flowers and everyone works
on them. Such work and their love
for it impressed me as indicative
of a basic virtue in their values
of appreciation.”
Edinburgh, London, Paris, Mi
lan . . . wherever Dr. Underwood
went, she found that people were
basically the same. Much, in fact,
like Americans . . . except for a
certain slight difference:
“The people are more leisurely
than we are. Our material ad
vantages are more, but philosophi
cally . . . well, they are just not
as much interested in these
things as we are. A lot of them
still think in terms of the past,
especially where the country has
been poor in recent years.
DR. UNDERWOOD
“As in Italy. They still eval
uate much in terms of the more
glorious days of Rome and the
proud Renaissance.
“How does one go? Well, I had
felt it was important to visit
Europe and I had always wanted
to go. Then one day Mrs. Watson
and I were talking and she said,
‘Let’s go to Europe next year.’
“ ‘All right,’ I said.
“It surprised her.
“ ‘Do you really mean it?’ she
asked.
“So I wrote that night to the
travel agencies for information
on the cheapest way to go best
for the money, and we went.
(Mrs. Watson studied at Oxford
while Dr. Underwood studied at
the University of Edinburgh.)
Two summers later my sister
went with me; then, later I went
back a third time. That’s the only
way to go — just decide and then
do it!
“And,” she said with a certain
note of triumph in her voice, “the
water in Paris may be bad, but
... I drank some.”
