Lyon family honored at Homecoming gala Lyon College said “thank you” to Dr. and Mrs. Frank Lyon, Jr., and their family at a “Lyonhearted Gala” in Becknell Center on Homecoming weekend. The Lyon family was honored Oct. 22 for its longtime support of the college over two generations. The college, founded as Arkansas College in 1872, was renamed Lyon College in 1994 in honor of Dr. Lyon’s parents, Dr. and Mrs. Frank Lyon, Sr. Raymond LaCroix, Jr., chair of the Lyon Board of Trustees, announced that the board had met the day before and approved a resolution naming Dr. Lyon chair emeritus and an honorary trustee. LaCroix said it was only the second time in the

history of the college that anyone had been named chair emeritus. The first time was 20 years ago to the day, when the honor was bestowed on Frank Lyon, Sr. The gymnasium in Becknell Center was turned into a stunning ballroom with flowing drapery and a sparkling canopy. Two giant screens flanked the stage and a slideshow of photos of the Lyon family taken by Dr. Steve Sniteman were displayed on the screens until the program began, then live video of the event was projected on the screens. Sniteman’s photographs are also featured in a special book, “Lyonhearted,” published as a tribute to the Lyon family. Copies of the publication were given to everyone who attended the gala. Dr. George Lankford, professor emeritus of folklore, wrote the text for the book, and Nell Tebbetts, ’07, designed the publication. After dinner, several people gave expressions of appreciation to the Lyons. Dr. Dan West, who was president from 1972 to 1988, talked about Frank and Marion Lyon, who he called “two of the most interesting people I’ve ever met.” He called Marion Bradley Lyon “a brilliant interior designer” who helped furnish and decorate many of the buildings on campus. It was through her that Frank Lyon, Sr., began his affiliation with the college in 1949. Lyon, Sr., served on the Board of Trustees and as its chairman for much of the next four decades. West also said Frank, Jr., and Jane Lyon “have made a huge difference for good in this world.” Dr. Robert Young III, a longtime member of the Board of Trustees, spoke about the College’s name change in 1994. The College was founded in 1872 as Arkansas College, but in the 1990s, college leaders began looking for a name that would bring a clearer identity to the institution as it changed from a regional college to a national liberal arts college. He said a consultant was hired to help with the

name change and a list of possible names was compiled. The name “Lyon” was included. Leaders of other colleges and universities were surveyed and the Lyon name received a favorable response. Convincing Frank Lyon, Sr., that the name should be changed to Lyon College was not easy, Young said. In fact, he said an emphatic “no!” However, Young said he and other trustees and administrators finally convinced Lyon, Sr., to change his mind. “He didn’t approve it,” Young said, “but he agreed not to oppose it.” James D. Simpson III and Charles B. Whiteside III each spoke about “The Heart of Lyon,” Frank Lyon, Jr., telling humorous anecdotes about him and recounting his successful career in business, his military service, and his “stealth” philanthropy.

Outstanding alumni given awards on Founders’ Day Several people were honored Oct. 23 at the Lyon College Founders’ Day Convocation, which marks the anniversary of the college’s founding in 1872 and is part of Homecoming Weekend at the college. Dr. Carolyn G. Holloway, a longtime friend of Lyon College, was awarded an honorary Doctor of Humane Letters degree. Dr. Holloway, of Georgetown, Texas, is the widow of the late E. Graham Holloway, a former Lyon trustee who also served as interim president in 1988. The Holloway Theatre at Lyon is named in memory of the Holloways’ son, I. Graham Holloway, a 1980 graduate of Lyon. Carolyn Holloway returned to Lyon as a student and graduated with a bachelor’s degree in art in 2000, the same year her husband received an honorary doctorate from the college. “This is an overwhelming honor,” Dr. Holloway said. Dr. Holloway said she represented “all the nontraditional students who have walked through the doors of Lyon College” and faced the daunting experience of walking into a classroom filled with bright young students. But, she said, the faculty and staff of the college provide the support and framework for success. “It allows us to just be the best we can be,” she said. Dr. Brooks Blevins and Dr. Douglas Scott “Scotty” Merrell, both 1992 graduates, received Distinguished Alumni Awards at the convocation held in Couch Garden. The Distinguished Alumni Award is presented to alumni who have brought honor to the College through their distinguished careers. Dr. Blevins is the Noel Boyd Associate Professor of Ozarks Studies at Missouri State University in Springfield, Mo. An expert on Ozarks history and culture, Dr. Blevins is the author of four books and coeditor of another. He is a former faculty member at Lyon College, Ozarka College in Melbourne, and Mississippi State University at Meridian. He was an assistant professor 6

of history at Lyon and also served as director of the College’s Regional Studies Center. Dr. Merrell, an associate professor of microbiology and immunology at Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences in Bethesda, Maryland, is an award-winning research scientist and teacher. In addition to teaching in the Department of Microbiology and Immunology at USU, he also is an associate professor in graduate programs for molecular and cellular biology and emerging infectious diseases at the university. He has published more than 40 book chapters, reviews, and peer-reviewed scientific manuscripts. An Honorary Alumna Award was presented to Mrs. Linda L. Wann. Mrs. Wann was a longtime employee of Lyon College and has continued to serve the College and other organizations as a volunteer since her retirement. The Lyon College Alumni Association gives the Honorary Alumni Awards to recognize distinguished service to the College. Terrell King and Elizabeth “Liz” Mazar, both 2000 graduates, received the Hugh N. Patterson Decade Awards. Each year the Alumni Association honors one man and one woman from the decade class who have distinguished themselves in their chosen careers. The late Mr. Patterson was a 1931 graduate of the college and also served as a trustee. King is an elementary school principal in Bastrop, Texas, where he has taught and been an administrator for several years. He has been honored as Bastrop High School Teacher of the Year and as the district’s Secondary Teacher of the Year. Ms. Mazar is department administrator for the Boston University College of Fine Arts School of Theatre, a position she has held since 2003. In 2008, she was appointed founding Managing Director for the Boston Center for American Performance (BCAP), the professional extension of the BU School of Theatre. (See photos on Page 5)

Dr. Tebbetts

(Continued from Page 8)

Dr. Tebbetts taught for four years at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, where he earned his doctorate. He came to Lyon (then Arkansas College) because he wanted to work at a “church-related liberal arts college.” Tebbetts said, “I was applying only at such schools,” when he received two invitations to interview in January 1970. Arkansas College offered $1,000 more annually, so he decided on it. Dr. Tebbetts said he would continue to teach “as long as I am still enjoying it and giving my students what they deserve.” Tebbetts hinted that he would like to make his career at Lyon last at least another ten years, making it “a total of fifty.” Back in the 1970s, when Tebbetts was looking for a position, Arkansas College only employed 22 faculty members, four of whom had doctorates. With an enrollment of fewer than 300, A.C. made it easy for Tebbetts to begin his very personalized relationship with students, which continues to this day. Senior Amanda Wawak says, “Dr. Tebbetts is involved with everything: students’ lives, alumni relations, and any convocation you can think of – he’s the best!” Many other students agree, and so do Lyon’s professors. Dr. Ronald Boling mentioned Tebbetts’ commitment to his students in a recent Sigma Tau Delta (English National Honor Society) meeting. “I have seen old students visit him and he remembers their Advanced Comp final paper from twenty years ago… they’ll chat about it like it was only last semester,” he said. Alumnae Beka Sharp, ’05, said, “Without a doubt, Terrell Tebbetts is one of the most enthusiastic instructors I have ever encountered. Especially at 8 in the morning.” Sharp’s Advanced Composition class was at 8 a.m., and Dr. Tebbetts “instilled the idea upon [her] that ‘the reason is never because!’” She said, “I don’t think there is anything bad you could say about him,” and described one of her favorite memories at Lyon College with Dr. Tebbetts. “It was a game of literary charades that we played at his house in his living room,” she said. “It was awesome and hilarious. Think about all of the energy that

he has in the classroom – always in motion – and then transfer that into a game of charades.” Other students look fondly upon Dr. Tebbetts as well. Senior Stephanie Hupp recalls, “He was the first professor to ever make me cry, but he also helped me realize I had many weaknesses we needed to work on together, which we did in Advanced Comp.” Junior Tesla Fields said, “He’s really interactive in the classroom. He is really there for students on an academic level and on a personal level.” Senior Lydia Jarjoura remembers Tebbetts from her freshman year Western Literature class. “He was the most enthusiastic professor that I’ve ever had, and he’s very animated and made us more interested in the stories.” Dr. Tebbetts is known for his constant professionalism: he always speaks with precision and proper grammar, and he also always wears professional clothing (a tie, slacks and a jacket) every day. “Personal appearance is important,” Tebbetts said. “I like to think of Lyon students as my junior colleagues. They deserve respect.” When asked what the biggest change at Arkansas and Lyon College has been in the past 40 years, Dr. Tebbetts was stumped, but upon changing the question to “the best change,” he was very clear: “The reinstitution of the Honor Code is the best change in the past 40 years. It says that students and faculty are of equal status when it comes to the academic community.” Tebbetts implied that he would not like to work at a school without an honor system. With the Honor Code in place, “there are no potential malefactors” on the academic ladder, Tebbetts says.

Skills learned at Lyon prepared her for the profession she wanted By RITA BROWN, ’09 Showing up at Lyon College, I had a pair of soccer cleats stuffed into my suitcase and a sleek white stiletto on each foot, but no real direction. As a transfer student athlete I had only two years to figure out what I wanted to do, and thankfully my amazing advisor, Dr. Terrell Tebbetts, quickly pointed my four-inch heels in the right direction. Knowing I wanted to do something in the communication field, he signed me up for an entire schedule of English courses, including my first-ever journalism class. At first the extremely high standard of work and effort the English faculty expected of me seemed out of reach, but I soon learned each of my teachers was committed to helping me along the way. I quickly fell head over heels for Bob Qualls’ journalism courses, learning reporting involved much more than just punching out a story. I gained confidence each day learning to edit, sub, and write news and feature stories in his classes, while strengthening my analytical and creative writing skills in the rest of my course work. As graduation loomed, I couldn’t help but read the headlines I hoped to write some day blanket my job prospects as dismal and bleak, and to make matters worse, I planned on getting my foot in the door in a completely different country. Luckily, I secured my first interview at a daily paper in Aberdeen, Scotland, within weeks of graduating. Armed with the skills and techniques I learned and refined at Lyon (and a killer A-line skirt), I braved the editor’s door. After an hour of questions, grammar tests, and a sample writing exercise, I teetered out to my car only to get a call saying the job was mine. I know for a fact that phone call was a direct result of my professors’ hard work at Lyon. The skills I gained at the College armed me with the necessary tools to tell a story, regardless of region. In the past year I’ve reported on everything from murder cases to council cuts, clenched my first exclu-

I can never thank my professors enough (especially Bob Qualls) for their time and effort. At a larger school I’m certain I would have become lost in the masses, but at Lyon it’s incredibly hard to slip through the cracks. Lyon helped me find firm footing in a field I love. and I look forward to whatever path my sleek, white stilettos take me down next.

News doesn’t stop; neither does reporter By RITA BROWN, ’09 There’s no such thing as Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., in a reporter’s life. The news doesn’t rest, and you quickly learn that neither do you. Instead, Monday could be the plight of beached sperm whale; Tuesday, two Chinese restaurants burned down in a double arson attack; Wednesday, a feature on the city’s cancer support centre; Thursday, $150 million worth of cuts to public services; and Friday, a murder. Every newspaper is different, but in the newsroom I work in, the editor expects three fresh stories from each reporter each day. We ring the police, fire, ambulance, and coast guard every hour to keep up to date on what’s breaking, but most of all we rely on our own eyes to spot things out of the ordinary. Lunch consists of a quick few bites stuffed between bylines and deadlines, and the day doesn’t end until the paper is filled. It definitely is a job you work because you love it. When you’re not on the job, making contacts in as many industries as possible is a must. It’s that extra effort that allows a reporter to launch the police’s new serious crime investigation team in an exclusive story. But along with attending those exciting ridealong drug busts, a journalist must be prepared to deal with the industry’s more sensitive topics. I remember when my editor sent me on my first “death knock.” He briefed me on the situation and gave me a few encouraging words. The day before, a man was driving a van full of teenagers to afternoon prayer in the mosque, but a curling line of traffic into the city centre threatened to curb the group’s journey. Instead of potentially missing the prayer, the man switched his hazard lights on, pulled over to the side of the road, and crossed a line of cars to pray on the grassy center reservation (median strip). His van full of passengers was watching when he attempted to cross the road for a second time and was hit and killed by a car. He was partially deaf. Less than 12 hours later I was driving to the house of his girlfriend of 10 years to see if she would like to

When I returned to the office, the editor, who quickly spotted how shaken I was, explained why it was so important we provide an outlet for grieving families to pay tribute to their loved ones and insisted the day “death knocks” became easy for me was the day I needed to quit the job. More than a year later “death knocks” are still difficult for me, but I understand the job balances itself out. A few weeks after my first death knock, I met an incredible eight-year-old boy who absolutely loved 12

soccer but hadn’t been able to kick a ball for months. Doctors discovered a brain tumor the size of a tennis ball inside his head, forcing them to perform life-saving surgery. The tumor was successfully removed, but the little boy lost the majority of his eyesight and faced taking a heavy load of pills for the rest of his life. Despite all of this, the boy hadn’t uttered one single complaint. Instead, all he could talk about was the big win his favorite soccer team pulled off over the weekend. It’s people like that little boy that convince professionals in the news business to give up the convenience of the nine to five, because on every street and in any house there’s a story worth telling. It’s just a matter of how well you convey it. The Piper

Alumni also stepped up to help their alma mater in the time of need. “The Batesville community has been remarkable,” Dr. Weatherman said. “They have been so generous.” The Lyon College motto, which can be found on the official seal, states “Perseverantia Omnia Vincet Deo Volente,” or simply “perseverance conquers all, God willing.” It’s a motto that Lyon College faculty, staff, and students are taking to heart in light of the fire. Poff said it was those words that allowed uncertainty in the moments after the fire to give way to confidence. “Biology professor Dr. Han Ong would tell you adaptation is a species’ means of survival and continuity,” Poff said. “As the College’s ability to adapt following the fire demonstrated, Lyon College is in good hands and is able to adapt, whatever the circumstances. Indeed, ‘perseverance conquers all, God willing.’” 15

Alumni remember Ed’s By LILLY HASTINGS, ’13 Lyon’s Edwards Commons student union has served as a central and important building for nearly every single student for the past 34 years. According to Brooks Blevins’ Lyon College: 1872-2002, the college administration made plans for a student union “more than a dozen years” before construction of one finally began in 1976. At this time, the College’s dining hall was located in the Alphin Building, now home to classrooms, faculty offices, and an art gallery and studios. The original plan was to attach the new student union to the Alphin Building, but students rejected the idea, and the administration proceeded to build a separate building. This was the start of Edwards

Commons. In 1983, Edwards Dining Hall was added to the student union thanks to a large donation from former trustee John W. Edwards; it was the “largest gift for the dining hall project and the largest ever by a Batesville resident,” according to Blevins. Edwards and several other contributors are to thank for the complete Edwards Commons facility that supplied 27 years worth of Lyon students, faculty, and staff with a place to meet, eat, participate in activities hosted by student life, and, most of all, have fun. After the fire that destroyed Edwards Dining Hall, several alumni and current students used the social networking website Facebook to share their concerns, encouraging words, and good memories of Ed’s.

Edwards Commons was the center of campus life and a popular gathering place for students. 18

Remembering Ed’s Alumni were incredibly quick to ask what they could do to help with the problem of feeding students. The Lyon College Facebook page frequently posted updates on the cafeteria for several days after the fire, keeping students, parents, and alumni informed. As a way to relive the good times spent in Ed’s, the College asked alumni and current students to share memories they had made in Edwards Commons and on the Lyon Facebook page so others could see them. In this way, students and alums could focus their thoughts not on the bad, but on the good. Robert Youngman, ’01, posted on the page that he remembered when his “best friends in college worked in the dining hall on work study” and he “used to hang out there a lot.” Youngman even recalls “one fall I got the idea to spend a day working there myself.” And while some do not get the chance to see the cafeteria from the working perspective, every student, faculty, and staff member who frequented the dining hall and commons felt the warmth and community of the atmosphere there. “A great memory was the [sorority] recruitment party one. We always had such a great time clapping and chanting in the girls!” Lindsey Fry, ’10, posted Winter 2011

as her favorite memory of Edwards Commons. Not only was the dining hall used for eating, it was also used as a venue when fraternities and sororities recruited new members and held important events. Joanna Fulbright, ’94, remembers when the sorority Phi Mu had a fundraiser in Ed’s where “LaGina Austin auctioned various faculty and staff to the applause and cheering of the student body… Karen Culp New and I went in together and bid on Dr. Wray.” The fun activities, including recruitment and other events hosted by the Greek organizations, have always been an important aspect of the Lyon College experience. Edwards Commons was a central location on campus that was essential to the development of the community. Without the dining hall and Lower Union area, Greek organizations and other Lyon College clubs have discovered that finding locations for their events has become quite a bit more difficult. But amongst the problems and inconveniences of the Edwards Commons fire, the people that make up the Lyon community have been able to support and encourage each other better than ever could have been expected. Sodexo, the College’s food service, has brought in a portable kitchen to help ease the 19

The Sodexo staff, specifically, try to keep warm and encouraging smiles on their faces, and they continue to strive to make the food and the atmosphere the best they can. Michelle Bailey, ’13, thinks Batesville has been a “wonderful community… to open their doors to Lyon College students in a time of need.” The positive and helpful people of the Batesville community have helped students, faculty, and staff adjust to the change. During the Thanksgiving Convocation Nov. 18, the Rev. Nancy McSpadden, the College chaplain, talked about how during this time of year we should remember all the good things in our lives and be full of gratitude for them. McSpadden mentioned the fire situation and said that Lyon and its students “should be thankful for the difficult times, for it’s during the difficult times that we grow.” Here are other memories of Edwards Commons posted by alums on Lyon’s Facebook page: Edie Sutterfield Nicholson, ’98: The first time I ever set foot on the Lyon campus was to attend a Robert Burns evening in Ed’s when I was a child. We listened to poetry readings and watched the pipers and dancers and ate haggis. It formed my first impression of Lyon – as a place of culture and possibility – which never wavered through the years of rush parties, fundraisers, dinners, and dances in that building. Condolences to all the Lyon community on the loss of our “Ed’s.” Martha Hall Bowman, ’88: I came to Arkansas College in the fall of 1983, and that was the first year that they used Edwards Dining Hall. When I toured in the spring of 1983, I ate my sample dining hall food in the Alphin Building, where the dining hall was at that time. By the fall of 1983, they had turned the whole Alphin Building into offices and classrooms. Amanda Redebaugh: Four of the best years of my life were spent at Ed’s. I am deeply saddened with this loss. I hold in my heart so many delightful memories in this great community center for a wonderful mass

of special and grace-filled individuals whom I am so blessed to have fed, cared for and loved over the years. Those brick walls were just a building, but those who shared lives within it were a worthy congregation of like-minded individuals who wanted nothing more than to share in the experience of community. And that we did. ... so the “Church” burned down, but the congregation lives on. May God Bless us all, for we are family. Julie M. Fidler, ’85: When I was going to thenAC, my friend, Darick Wright, worked at the snack bar. He always had a big batch of nacho cheese warming in the crock pot. I’d head down to the union late at night in my jammies and slippers after finishing studying, and Darick would give me an extra big helping of that cheesy, tomatoey good stuff! I also worked some dinners in the cafeteria with my sorority sisters from Kappa Kappa Alpha and have many fond memories of working on the Highlander in the building. Michelle Rosamond: My friends and I would play Spades, after studying. Had a lot of fun and a lot of good memories. Julie, I was also a Kappa and remember a lot of good times in this building. Ali Parker, ’09: Skit night during recruitment, study breaks down at the Lyon Den, Dance Marathon, seeing professors at lunch after you may or may not have had a good reason for not going to class that same morning, and the best scrambled eggs with cheese ever made! Why help the Annual Scholarship Fund? The most critical gift need at Lyon College is for annual scholarships. In short, more scholarships mean more students, and more students translate to more acceptances into medical, professional, and graduate schools, and then eventually to more service to the state, the region, and the nation. A charitable investment in scholarships at Lyon College is an investment in leadership and service.

2011 Scottish Festival will be a Scot’s dream; no admission will be charged

This year, the Arkansas Scottish Festival will be free. The 32nd Arkansas Scottish Festival is set for April 8-10 on the Lyon College campus in Batesville. Organizers said admission to the three-day festival will be free. The festival has for three decades provided a glimpse of traditional Scotland to visitors from Arkansas and all over the country. The celebration began as a way to honor the College’s Scottish roots. Lyon College was founded in 1872 by the Presbyterian Church, which has its roots in Scotland. The college recognizes Scotland through its Scottish Heritage Program and through the annual Arkansas Scottish Festival, which brings in A blindfolded judge seeks the “bonniest knees” in a fan thousands of visitors during the favorite event at the Arkansas Scottish Festival. weekend.

Glee!

College once had its own glee club; Lassies performed around the world

By SAMANTHA JONES, ’14 Fox’s Glee television series has popularized glee clubs by featuring both popular music and famous guest stars. Even Lyon College students have been caught up in the phenomenon – there is a Glee viewing party every Wednesday on the second floor Spragins lounge, and many students cite Glee as their favorite television show. These students probably do not know that 20 years ago, Lyon College actually had a glee club. Called the Lassies and Lads, the club performed at the New York World’s Fair and even went on six USO tours. Dorothy Landis Gray, now a professor emerita of music, was the driving force of the Lassies and Lads from its creation to its eventual disintegration in 1982. As choir director, Gray served as the adviser for the groups, which grew out of the choir a year or two

after Gray’s arrival at Arkansas College in 1946. “I organized two groups – a male quartet, The Lads, and an SSA group, which soon became The Lassies,” Gray said. The groups took small gigs at first, singing at church events and for family suppers. Gray notes that even if the groups had separate performances on the same day, she would go to both. The Lassies were not originally known as the Lassies; at first, they were “The Sextet” and then “The Octet.” Eventually, the number of singers in the group grew so much that the name “The Lassies” was adapted. “The first big break-through for the Lassies was an invitation from the local Rotary Club to sing at the International Convention of Rotary International at St. Louis,” Gray said. The Lassies also performed at a Southern Medical Association and Auxillary meeting – due to the fact

Gray took the group to the annual SMA convention and, after she became president of the Auxillary, Gray arranged it so that the Lassies sang at this annual convention in New Orleans almost yearly. Former Lassie Lucy Yeager, ’67, recalls on such conference in New Orleans. “The show was in four groups, and one of the groups of songs was patriotic. Someone in the group heard us and liked that part and asked if we’d sing for Barry Goldwater that night. So we did.” Yeager said that Goldwater paid for their meal and added with a laugh, “We were the Goldwater Girls that night.” While these performances were by no means small gigs, they were not the big break that came in 1964. Gray had heard from a choral director friend at Harding University about USO tours and how to apply for them. Wilbur Mills – a very powerful Congressman in Arkansas at the time – supported the

group through the application process. “We had to audition and apply to the National Music Council, headed by Dr. Archie Jones from the University of Kansas,” Gray said. The group was accepted and, in July 1964, the Lassies went to Thule, Greenland. “I told the girls it would be cold up there, but they actually were not prepared for cold weather. When we landed at Thule, the landscape was covered with snow,” Gray remembered. “The military officials gave us parkas to wear while we were there, so we were fine.” The government provided valuable support to the Lassies. The USO and the Department of Defense paid for almost all of the group’s expenses. The Lassies traveled in a renovated cargo plane and stayed on military bases, and even received free food. “All expenses were paid, and we got a ‘per diem’ (Continued on next page)

to take care of our food,” Gray explained. The Lassies also had free time in which they were taken out on the tundra. During this excursion, the group came across caribou antlers. “Each of us got an antler, and we put cotton balls on the tips and slapped mailing labels on them and they all arrived just like that,” Yeager said, “It was just wonderful.” Five USO tours followed. One was to the Pacific Command, an The Lassies on the 1964 USO tour (Photos courtesy of Lucy Yeager) area composed of Japan, Korea, Guam, Okinawa, Having never taken one before, she “thought it would Midway Island, and Hawaii.

Dr. Jane Fagg dies in N.C. Dr. Jane B. Fagg, 73, professor emerita of history at Lyon College, passed away peacefully on November 7, 2010, at her home in Snow Hill, N.C. She was buried alongside her husband and his family in the Simmons Family Cemetery on the grounds of “Waterloo,” her former residence and the ancestral home of her husband. After receiving her bachelor of arts degree from Emory, she traveled to Europe where she found herself very much taken with everything about England. It was then that she decided to make British history the focus of her graduate studies, which continued at Emory. Upon receiving her master’s degree, she accepted a teaching position in the public schools in Atlanta, attending the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill during the summer months. While continuing her doctoral studies, she taught at Salem College in Winston-

Salem. She finished her course work in 1966, and that summer she married Daniel W. Fagg, Jr., who later became the first McCain Professor of History at Arkansas College. In 1968, when two history positions opened at Arkansas College, the couple moved to Batesville, each accepting one of the positions. During her 34plus years at Arkansas/Lyon College, Dr. Jane Fagg proved to be a powerful motivator of students. In 1984, she received the Lamar Williamson Prize for Excellence in Teaching. She served on virtually every standing committee of the college and was a former director of the Core Curriculum. She received the Arkansas Historical Association’s Lucille Westbrook Award for Best Article in Local History, having published several articles on reconstruction in the Batesville area. Being the second so-named Paul McCain Professor of History at Arkansas College, she succeeded her late husband, who held the endowed position until his death in 1991. Following her retirement from Arkansas College in 2002, she returned to “Waterloo,” their Albertson, N.C., home, publishing many articles at her leisure, and she was quite influential in the establishment of the Grady-Outlaw Library for the benefit of the Albertson community and Duplin County. Prior to her death, she asked that memorial gifts be made to the Grady-Outlaw Library, c/o Ted K. Grady, 910 Outlaw’s Bridge Road, Albertson, NC 28508; the University of North Carolina Athletics Department, P.O. Box 2126, Chapel Hill, NC 27515; or to Lyon College, P.O. Box 2317, Batesville, AR 72503. Dr. Jane Fagg will be fondly remembered for her exceptional ability as a teacher to motivate and work with students, women, and minorities, her steadfast spirit of community service, and her appreciation for the beautiful sights of nature. (Alumni remember Dr. Fagg on next page.)

Alums on Facebook fondly remember Jane Fagg Beth Nix: I'm sorry to hear about the death of Dr. Jane Fagg. This marks the passing of an era for Lyon College alumni. Drs. Jane and Dan Fagg had such a profound impact on their students at Arkansas College. Mona Marshell Hughes: A talented, dedicated professor who made her classes interesting and relevant. She was also a funny, funny great lady. She taught me a lot!

Debbie Kelly: Dr. Fagg was one of the most compelling professors at Lyon. I thoroughly enjoyed her class and always looked forward to it. I’m sad to hear she has passed away. Casey Jackson Quattlebaum: I remember sleeping outside in line all night before pre-registration to be sure I got Dr. Fagg for Western Civ! She had a gruff exterior but was very funny and kind when you got to know her! Happy to say I got the chance to know her and learn from her.

Ginny Murray: She was a tough educator who loved teaching and getting the most out of her students. I John Ellis: Dr. Jane and Dr. Dan both set the bar loved her classes and felt quite accomplished when I high not only for students, but also as an example for earned good marks on her quizzes. other professors. William Stanley: Jane and Dan Fagg touched generations of students with their natural intellectual curiosity. I am one of many alums who is a better people because of this talented couple. Monica Alexander Sprankell: She was an amazing professor and a true individual. She was tough but fair, always expecting great things from her students (and usually getting them).

Misty Caldwell Humway: So sad to hear this news. She was a SUPERB professor and a great lady. I will never forget her dry sense of humor and how incredibly hard her pop quizzes were! Finally figuring out what I needed to do to PASS her classes was a great accomplishment! She made an unbelievable impression on me and I will always remember her fondly. I will also never forget the snow effigy of Dr. Jane outside the Lyon Building! PRICELESS!

Alumni Giving by Class Year A number of Lyon alumni give generously every year. Many external funding agencies interpret this Alumni Participation Rate (APR) as a tangible measure of alumni satisfaction. In other words, every donor, not just every dollar, counts! For example, your contribution will help raise Lyon’s APR, which in turn may convince a foundation that Lyon is worthy of its support also; your $10 now may be just the vote of confidence needed to secure a multimillion dollar request from a foundation in the near future. Consistent annual giving, even if it is $10 each year, helps your Alma Mater by demonstrating to other potential funders that you care about her future. For more information about how you can strengthen Lyon’s reputation by showing your financial support, please contact Gina Garrett, Director of Alumni Services and Development, at (870) 307-7557.
