Rollins Marches OnA Review by the Trustees of Progress in a Decade Under

Hamilton HoltThis year Rollins College enters

its second half century. The trus-tees take this opportunity to givethe citizens and winter residentsof Winter Park a brief review ofthe progress of the College, par-ticularly the advance of the lastdecade.

When Hamilton Holt acceptedour invitation ten years ago to be-come the president of Rollins, heasked the citizens of Orange Coun-ty to give him a vote of confidencein his plans and ambitions for thefuture development of the College.He promised Orange County thathe would devote his utmost energytoward the attainment of the ideal,to make Rollins College "the fin-est small liberal arts college inAmerica."

Rollins College Ten Years AgoIn 1925, Rollins was just passing

the fortieth anniversary of itsfounding. Into the first four dec-ades of its history had gone heroicsacrifice, devoted service and gen-erous giiti. But the struggle hadleft scars. The student body stillnumbered less than 250. Facultyand staff were much underpaid.The financial resources were alto-gether inadequate for the far-reaching work to which the insti-tution had sets its hands.

RECEPTION ROYAL

The Winter Park railroad sta-tion has many times been the sceneof impressive arrivals, but perhapsthe most exceptional and colorfultook place last week when a throngof Winterparkians and Rollins stu-dents crowded the station platformto welcome the great Capt. AdhawaAhrdella, the reputed cousin orsomething of KingHaile Salassie.

To give this gathering the stampof authoritative importance that itdeserved there was present noneother than our own Dr. HamiltonHolt, in cap and gown, or at leastin gown, while the shovel-shapedhead covering of pale lavender, sostrangely becoming, might havebeen snatched the last momentfrom any one of a dozen fair andfashionable welcomers. Onlookerswho marveled at this new combi-nation and might have questionedthe ethical correctness of Dr. Holt'sattire had little time for specula-tion inasmuch as the south-boundtrain made its tooting arrival atthat moment and discharged twovastly decorative passengers, bothglitteringly clad in flowing robesand impressive head coverings. It

But. the real factors in the lifeof a college are neither brick normortar nor bank balances. Whatis vital is spirit.

With unswerving loyalty to highacademic standards, Rollins had, infact, achieved noteworthy progress.It was rapidly emerging from themissionary stage of its develop-ment and was ready to extend itsinfluence beyond the local field.The sound foundations presentedan unusual opportunity for real ed-ucational pioneering.

For Rollins, President Holt vis-ioned a great future:

He would never allow the stu-dent body to increase beyond 500.He Would stress the quality of thestudents rather than the quantity.Pie would assemble a faculty ofgreat teachers whose presencewould draw exceptional studentsfrom the East, North and West aswell as the South. He would af-filiate Rollins with the great ed-ucational foundations, societies andassociations, extending its fameand reputation throughout the ed-ucational world. He would createon the campus an harmoniouslycomplete architectural unit whosesheer beauty would make it a Flor-ida shrine to be visited by every

ROLLINS COUNTRY FAIR

The Fair was born in 1934 underthe auspices of President Holt andMrs. Rhea Smith, in aid of theRollins Library, Rising like theCollege in spite of the depression,the Fair cleared over $200 thisyear through the cooperation ofthe College staff and students withthe residents and visitors to Win-ter Park.

Chairman of the OrganizingCommittee was Mrs, Rotival, aidedby Mr. and Mrs. Trowbridge, Mr.and Mrs. Rhea Smith, Mrs. Kilroe,Mrs, John Rae and Mr. GeorgeHolt.

Although rain and cold curtailedthe varied program the RecreationHall provided space and shelter fora multifarious display which •wouldhave been impossible without thewilling assistance of Mrs. Camp-bell, Mrs. Holt, Miss Leonard, Mrs.Gordon Jones, Mrs. Stemm, MissGreen, Miss Colman, Dr. Fleisch-.man, Mr. Foley, Mr. Hennessy,Mr. Schenck and Mr. Reg. Clough.

The merchants of Winter Parkdonated prizes for the Lotto com-petition, and the Maison Louis ofOrlando arranged a parade exhib-

has not seen its way clear to em-ploy such an official.

The particular enthusiasm ofMr. Rogers is his response to thedemand for small dwellings. Theirplanning in both "rows" andgroups is a matter to which he hasgiven much study. The "row,"which is beautifully exemplified inCotswold, England, is desirable foran individual who does not wish tolive in an isolated house. Thegroup has the special advantage ofgardens and walks planned in rela-tion to the whole. The realizationof Mr. Rogers' dream of a smallhouse is the residence of G. L.Noyes on Interlachen avenue, butless expense in building does notnecessarily preclude beauty of de-sign. If all persons intending tobuild could be brought to realizethis, the erection of structures thatonly deface the landscape might bebrought to an end. Concerted ac-tion on the part of property own-ers in Lake Forest, Pasadena, andSanta Barbara has resulted inmaking these towns three of themost beautiful in the country.

Pastures to Paris GownsShown in Persia Today

"In Persia the traveller can seethe life of a thousand years in aday," said Dr. Rosalie SlaughterMorton in a, talk on "Persian Wom-en" at the Woman's Club. "In thepastoral region a whole tribe ismigrating with all their animalsfrom the lowlands to higher placesin search of pasture as in the movie'Grass,' and at the same time la-dies in Paris gowns are dancingat a grand ball in the capital, ascene rivalled only by the ArabianNights."

During the lecture ladies in longrobes and partially or whollyveiled, who appeared on the stagein the midst of objects d'art fromDr. Morton's collection, showed thecoquetry and allure that accom-pany a costume which serves as adisguise. But the progressiveShah Pahlavi has forbidden theuse of the veil. Many men, in-cluding the mullahs, or Moham-medan priests, are opposed to thisedict, fearing that their womenmay adopt the styles they haveseen worn by foreign tourists, whoby their sunback dresses and freemanners have retarded the eman-cipation of Persian women.

The value of our factual educa-tion is not apparent to all Per-sians. "Why should we learn aboutairplanes ? Is the camel not morevaluable? It bears burdens, fur-nishes food and clothing, repro-duces itself, and requires no re-pairs." And Dr. Morton adds,"Neither am I so confident of itssuperiority after observing thesepeople on the desert and in theirhomes and workshops, for I knowthat with the mechanization oftheir life the old art and the poetryof living will be no more."

Mrs. Emily Lippincott Webster,Miss Sylvia Guthrie, Mrs. CharlesF. Hammond and Mrs. GeorgeEnglish represented the differentperiods in Persian dress.

It was a privilege for your ed-itor to meet Hernia Clark, whosecolumn in the Chicago Tribune"When Chicago Was Young" haslong been one of the most enjoy-able features of that great news-paper. Supposedly weekly lettersfrom a Chicago woman to herfriend in New York, Miss Clarkwrites in an unaffected but gos-sipy style about matters that weremaking the news of the day backin "the elegant eighties." The lateJulius Rosenwald confessed toreading these letters never suspect-ing that they were fiction. Theyare so well grounded in a knowl-edge of the people and time thatthey might be considered more his-torical than fiction. Miss Clarkhas achieved one of the early am-bitions of every writer,—to writein the style of Addison's famous"Spectator," that reads as easilyas it is difficult to master.

I have asked Miss Clark to giveus a letter in her column that willbring in some of the Chicagoanswho were pioneers of Winter Park,and she promised.—C. F. H.

tourist. He would interest wealthymen and women in the greatest ofall human investments—the educa-tion of worthy boys and girls—andthrough them provide at Rollinsincreasing opportunities for thetraining of future citizens.

Orange County's Vote of

ConfidencePurely on faith in Hamilton

Holt's plan for Rollins, OrangeCounty responded wholeheartedlyand generously to his appeal forconfidence and support. They,pledged a development fund of$340,000 in cash and real estate.The fact that the real estate"boom" collapsed at about thesame time, and made it impossiblefor the Orange County subscribersto pay more than forty-five percent of their cash pledges, is be-side the point. What is importantis that Orange County believed inHamilton Holt and was willing toindicate its faith in his leadershipby "staking" Rollins on its path ofpi'ogi'ess.

The Question

Now, with the completion of theSemicentennial Years of the Col-lege, and the tenth year of Presi-dent Holt's stewardship, an impor-tant question presents itself:

"Have Rollins College and Pres-ident Holt justified the faith placedin them by the citizens of OrangeCounty ten years ago?"

The answer is of importance toevery man, woman and child in thiscommunity if for no other reasonthan that Rollins College is one ofOrange County's major assets com-parable in economic value to thatof any major industry.

The AnswerA brief record of the progress

made by Rollins since 1925 fol-lows:

1. The net assets of the College,consisting of land, buildings, equip-ment, endowment and special funds,etc., have increased in value fromapproximately $800,000 to $2,300,-000, or a gain of more than $1,500,-000.

2. Although the policy has beento improve the quality of the stu-dent body rather than to increaseits size, the registration has grownto approximately 400, the limit ofthe present housing and class-roomfacilities.

Ten years ago the student bodywas largely local in character. To-day students come to Rollins in re-sponse to an appeal that is nation-wide. This year they represent 33states and seven foreign countries,more than 75</e of the studentscoming from outside Florida. Rol-lins College is doubtless the mostcosmopolitan college in the South.

3. From the status of an insti-tut ion with a conventional curric-ulum, Rollins has become, in tenyears, one of the leading progres-sive colleges in the United States.

4. Academic standards have beenraised with the result that Rollins,since 1925, has been accepted into

full membership by four standard-izing educational associations andinto associate membership by oneother; Rollins is now an accred-ited member of the following asso-ciations:

Association of American Col-leges, Southern Association of Col-leges and Secondary Schools (1927),American Council on Education(1928), National Association ofSchools of Music (Institutionalmember, 1930), American Associa-tion of University Women (Asso-ciate member, 1930), Florida Asso-ciation of Colleges (1934).

5. The net annual income fromstudents for tuition fees has in-creased from approximately $27,-000 in 1925 to $189,000, a gain ofalmost seven-fold.

6. Under President Holt's admin-istration, Rollins has received giftsof land, buildings and real estateto the value of $2,229,000, of which$200,000 came from the citizens ofOrange County.

7. Five permanent buildings inthe Spanish-Mediterranean styleof architecture are already com-pleted, and five move are in courseof construction. These representa cost of more than a million dol-lars. In addition, seven otherbuildings have been acquired forhousing, educational and recrea-tional purposes.

8. The adoption of the Rollins"Conference Plan," and the Rollins"Achievement Plan," both designedto individualize education, and theUnit Cost Plan, designed to bal-ance the operating budget, havebrought the College national rec-ognition with the result that thesethree major academic reforms arealready being utilized in whole orin part by many other institutions.

Regular DividendsThe foregoing are some of the

progressive steps Rollins was en-couraged to take as a direct resultof the faith placed in HamiltonHolt's leadership by Orange Coun-ty.

But what specific services hasRollins rendered Orange County inthis ten-year period of develop-ment?

In return for $200,000 in cashand real estate donated by OrangeCounty since 1925, Rollins hasgiven to the parents in OrangeCounty more than $300,000 inscholarships during the same pe-riod, a return of 150%.

Between July 1, 1925, and June30, 1935, the Treasurer's Office ofRollins disbursed some $4,150,000,at least 75% of which was spentlocally or through local agencies.

Rollins has drawn from statesother than Florida in each of thelast ten years an average of 296students. In local trade circles, itis estimated, these students havespent, exclusive of official collegeexpenses, an average of $300 ayear, or, an estimated total ofabout $888,000 here in the last dec-ade. Evidently most of this largesum was brought in from otherstates and transferred to th«wealth of Orange County.

A Half Million Dollar AssetThus Rollins, has been directly re-

sponsible for bringing more than

$5,000,000 into Orange County dur-ing the past decade. In otherwords, Rollins has been worth toOrange County at least $500,000 ayear for the;past ten years.

There is not a person in OrangeCounty who has not benefited di-rectly or indirectly from these ex-penditures. Regardless of who isthe first recipient, these fundseventually find their way into alllocal enterprises, even into taxesand public service agencies.

Extra DividendsThis economic summary does not

include a review of the importantcultural advantages offered by Rol-lines, at considerable expense toits own treasury and the gift oftime and talents on the part offaculty and guests of the College,through numerous free lectures,free concerts and recitals, free ex-hibitions, an adult education pro-gram, the Rollins Animated Mag-azine, athletic contests, etc.

Likewise only brief mention canbe made (a) of the number of fam-ilies (twenty this year) who havecome from outside Florida to livein Orlando or Winter Parlc in or-der to send their young people toRollins and who each spend locally;each year several thousands of dol-lars earned in other states; (b) ofthe number of retired men andwomen of means who have chosenOrange County as their place ofresidence, and have built expensivehomes or rented properties solelyto be near Rollins in preference toother sections of the state; (c) andof the hundreds of transients andwinter visitors who come to Cen-tral Florida solely because of Rol-lins.

Looking Toward the FutureWe, the Trustees of Rollins Col-

lege, are proud of the transforma-tion of Rollins during the past tenyears under the leadership of Ham-ilton Holt. We are gratified, also,that the investment of $200,000made by Orange County during thepast ten years in Rollins Collegehas repaid such handsome divi-dends.

In spite of the accomplishmentsof the past, some of which couldnot have been visualized ten yearsago, the heavy end of the log re-mains yet to be lifted. S#ll incom-plete is the building program tofill the great need for additionalclassrooms, a library—this most ofall—residences sufficient"'to houseall students on the campus, newbuildings for the art school andthe conservatory of music, a cam-pus crowned with beauty, a facultyfurther enriched, and a studentbody strengthened and selected forachievement and promise.

With the continued approval andsupport of Orange County, we canassure the entire community thatHamilton Holt will enter his sec-ond ten-year period of service withrevitalized hope and confidence ineven greater achievements.

We are proud that RollinsMarches On." It is also our pro-found conviction that Rollins must—and will continue to march on.

MAGIC CARPET OF COLOR

Winter Residence of Mr. and Mrs. E. S. Fownes, of Pittsburgh, at Maitland.

THE FOWNES RESIDENCE

Seldom do we find a house thatperfectly fits its site and the cli-matic conditions of the country inwhich it is built. The residence forMr. and Mrs. E. S. Fownes atMaitland, Florida, is. :a bit of NewEngland transplanted to Florida.The architect has successfully com-bined a lovely New England ex-terior with an ideal.Floridian plan,and yet has maintained the softcharm of a typical Early Americanhome. Few people realize how dif-ficult is the problem of adaptingthis style, with its small and com-paratively few windows, to theFlorida climate. This home is anexisting Example of what skilledhands may do.

Visitors to the Fownes residenceare impressed with the beautifuloak trees on the site, and it is in-teresting to note that the largetree on the left of the lake side en-trance, which must be a centuryold, was the nucleus around whichthe house was planned. It is \trulya part of the house since its

terrace to form an outdoor room.Another • terrace on the south

side, opening from the kitchen anddining room, is used as a breakfastterrace.

The exterior of the house is apleasing blend of white washedbrick and shingles. The roof is ofdark green semi-thatched woodshingles.

The living room is of the studiotype, and of graceful proportions,and is paneled with coffee brownknotty pine. Knotty pine is alsoused in the book room, the diningroom and in the hall. All roomshave very large windows on twosides that admit a wealth of sun-shine and air.

A noteworthy feature of thehouse is the well planned.kitchen.Mr. Hair. has included numerouscabinets and has conveniently ar-ranged the sink, stove, the windowsand the entrances.

We have been informed that thishome was entirely planned andbuilt while Mr. and Mrs. Fowneswere at their summer home in theNorth. This successful home andthe satisfaction of Mr. and Mrs.

Fownes is a fitting tribute to Mr.Hair's judgment and ability.

The following business firms con-

Herbert Thompson Strong, rec-ognized as one of the great colormagicians of our time, will present''Revelations in the Realm of Color"at the Congregational Church onFebruary 11th at eight o'clock.

iting a striking display of the lat-est fashions and colors, modelledby Rollins students during tea,which was purveyed by Miss Lucyof the Whistling Kettle.

Charcoal sketches by Mrs. ZoeShippen Jewett and silhouettes byMiss Julie Brown proved a wel-come new attraction, side by sidewith Madame Zora's booth, wherequestions of the heart or of themarkets were answered, whileacross the hall Mrs. MargeryHolmes and Miss Burnham exam-ined the past and futures of nu-merous clients—with discretion.

Notable among the sideshowswas a realistic panorama of AddisAbaba and the rugged mountainsof Eehiopia, modelled and coloredfor the Pair by Mr. Andre Smith,and. destined later for a permanentcollection.

In spite of the competing clamourof balloon concessions, dart throw-ing for prizes, and stalls whererattler steaks were made ready forthe human stomach, Mrs. JohnRae's groups of Morris dancers di-verted a large majority of youngand old to an artistic display ofgraceful movement.

The Art Department invented anew guessing" game, previously re-served for a r t experts—to discoverthe true painters of -various mod-em masterpieces displayed un-signed on the northern wall.

Outside the hall the Flea Marketswarmed with buyers anxious to'acquire miscellaneous householdtreasures, collected by Mrs. Holt,

Mrs. Rhea Smith, Mrs. Kilroe andMrs. Sprague .Smith from numer-ous generous donors, to be trans-ferred to new owners for the ben- •efit of the latter and the Library.

Rollins students cooperated vo-ciferously in popularizing ponyrides, boat trips, the Witching-Hour, and Caramel corn. TheSeminole and the Alabama hotelsas well as the Virginia Inn lentrepresentatives to aid the Organ-izing Committee, and brought theFair to the attention of theirguests. Mr. A. Buel Trowbridgecontrolled the Fair grounds andorganized the last minute changesnecessitated by the rain and cold.Arrangements for lighting, loudspeakers and booths were underthe direction of that AdmirableCrichton, Mr. Geo. Cartwright, andhis ingenious son.

A gorgeous Spanish shawl do-nated by Mrs. Carty was won byMrs. Harris Metcalf, and Mrs. C.W. Stiles will occupy the Presi-dent's box at the Annie RussellTheatre, offered by Dr. Holt in aidof the Fair.

The Mule Cart Players broughta realistic melodrama written anddirected by Mr. Geo. Holt, and fol-lowed by a polished broadcastsketch invented and produced byMr. Peter McCann; both plays de-served and received an enthusiasticwelcome.

During ,the supper, at whichnearly two hundred guests satdown, an excellent professionalprogram of Russian songs anddances was performed by a com-pany of Russian Exiles in gorgeousRussian costumes. Later came the

most exciting event on the variedcatalogue when Mr. Fleet Peebleshandled venomous snakes in fullView of the audience, extractingfangs and also showing how thedeadly poison is secured by com-pelling snakes to bite on a pre-pared surface.

Visitors to and residents of Win-ter Park, unable to attend, or en-thused by the efforts of Town andGown, to improve their own Li-brary, sent additional donations;among them Mrs. Hackney, Mrs.Sanders, Mrs. Gordon Jones andMiss Isabel Green. Further checkswill be welcomed and acknowl-edged by Mrs. Trowbridge, treas-urer of the fund, care of RollinsCollege.

We hope that the Rollins Coun-try Fair will become the anniver-sary of the happy marriage be-tween Winter Park and RollinsCollege. E. G. K.

RECEPTION ROYAL(Continued from page 1)

was evident at once that the tall,graceful and ethiopianly beardedsheik was the Guest of Honor,Capt. Ahrdella, while the vigilantattitude of his companion declaredhim to be the Captain's alert body-guard.

Amidst a combination of cheer-ing and auto-honking Dr. Holtstepped forward to welcome hisnear-royal guest and gavf; the as-sembled multitude a lesson in in-ternational courtesy by taking theCaptain's extended hand and sup-plementing this greeting by offer-ing at the same time his cheeks

for a French salutation. This ges-ture, which alone will mark thismeeting as an. affair of exceptionalimportance, was the signal for theclicking of cameras and the groan-ing of motion-picture machines.And in the face of this battery ofsnap-shootings Capt. Ahrdella tookhis place beside Dr. Holt in theroyal twelve-cylinder chariot, flag-fluttering and snorting to go. Inanother moment, with the redoubt-able Lieut. Sacksy motorcyclinginto the lead, screaming its sirenicapproach, lthe royal coach shotthrough the ; startled streets ofWinter Park with a long trailingof smart-looking automobiles toot-ing along in its wake. Round andround and up arid down the mainstreets of the town the parademade its noisy proclamation notonly of the ''arrival of the gi'eatAhrdella and his Little Entouragebut also it announced the officialopening of the Rollins CountryFair.

It was not until evening, afteran exhausting day of struttingand barking that the Captain'scurly black whiskers shed them-selves hair by hair and exposed toview the smiling features of theman-behind-the-beard: Duke At-tilio Banca of Maitland. Mr. Ban-ca's ever faithful bodyguard con-tinued to elude all efforts of iden-tification until the midnight gongproclaimed the closing of the Coun-try Fair. It was then that theCaptain's attendant, calling it aday, emerged from his enfoldingcape, slipped out from under histurban and exposed himself to be .that extremely capable impersona-tor, Mr. Ernest Kilroe.
