Fall-Winter 2008 Millsaps Magazine by Millsaps College

WINTER 2008

From the President

Service learning is a term that describes what happens when students serve their communities and in the process learn about themselves and the greater world. According to Dr. Darby Ray at Millsaps,“Service-learning projects are a form of hands-on learning.They challenge students to connect classroom and text-based learning with practical experiences in real-world laboratories.” John Kellogg, a One Campus, One Community Fellow, has written in this issue about his experience living in the North Midtown neighborhood. His relentless optimism in the face of desperate circumstances will inspire even the most cynical reader. We live in a time when the economy is floundering and commerce and banking face challenges. Faculty members from the Else School of Management enlightened the Millsaps community about this turmoil in a forum entitled “Access and Excess:The Financial Meltdown Explained.” A road map for surviving tumultuous times in history may be found in the article on the late Rabbi Perry Nussbaum that describes his courage and conviction in the 1960s. The Nussbaum lecture series was launched in 2008 and will continue to host compelling speakers. Like Rabbi Nussbaum, Millsaps College has stood against racial bigotry and religious prejudice in the South. There are exciting projects all around the Millsaps campus these days.The new Keck lab and the interdisciplinary programming it supports are unique to Millsaps. Weaving together anthropology, archaeology, geology, biology, and chemistry, the new facility will enable students to connect historical dots using artifacts from Yucatán and Albania. On campus, the new Mitchell garden between the sorority lodges and the library is a beautiful, tranquil stopping place. I invite you to take a campus tour on your next visit and see the construction under way on three new residence halls as well as improvements made to the Christian Center.Times are changing, and the campus is changing with them. Millsaps continues to attract bright students, to create innovative programs, to challenge and motivate, and to serve as the cultural heart of the greater Jackson community.

Warmly,

Else School speakers explain financial turmoil and trauma Talk centered around greed, predatory lending practices, and fraud when three members of the Millsaps College Else School of Management explained the nation’s economic turmoil during the forum “Access and Excess: The Financial Meltdown Explained.” Howard McMillan, dean of the Else School of Management; Dr. Bill Brister, assistant professor of finance; and Dr. Kimberly Burke, professor of accounting and assistant dean of the Else School, offered their opinions during the Oct. 9 forum about events (From left) Dr. Bill Brister, Dean Howard McMillan, and Dr. Kimberly Burke spoke to the media, students, that have staff, and the public during an informal discussion about the state of the nation’s economy. led to our country’s current financial state. “We got in this situation because we were living beyond our means and spending dollars that we didn’t have. To work out of this, we’ve got to work on paying off our debts as individuals as well as a country. We cannot buy our way out of debt,” said McMillan. McMillan detailed the push during the early 1990s for financial institutions to make subprime mortgage loans to consumers who otherwise could not qualify, and he explained how the Federal National Mortgage Association and the Federal Home Mortgage Corp., the nation’s

millsaps magazine

largest underwriters of home mortgages, were then pressured to buy the loans. “Due to these predatory lending practices, people who had never qualified for a sizeable loan before were suddenly able to get one. All of this fed into the housing boom and inflated the price of houses. Then, the building of all these houses that there was no demand for helped further intensify the problems,” he said. Brister focused on the housing market and economy in general, forcasting in October the impending recession. “My opinion is that we are already in a recession. Our economy is under a lot of stress. We are financing a war with debt. Stock market wealth has disappeared. When we have less wealth, we cut back. So, when we don’t buy the new refrigerator, for example, then the person who sells it cuts back. This causes the person who makes it to cut back, and the process keeps trickling down and down to create a recession,” he said. In her segment, Burke explained the basics of fair value accounting and how the practice has revealed the volatility of the value of investments. She also talked about fraud and its three elements: motive, opportunity and rationalization. “We opened the door for this disaster by writing mortgage loans differently to let more people in, all the while taking advantage of people who should have known better than to take out these loans. Financial institutions who were making the loans knew that the greater the risk, the higher the return, which all played into the greed motive. And the rationalization for all of this was to help poor people own their own home. You can see that these three elements came together to frame the problem,” she said. McMillan said that as bad as the situation is, it is not hopeless. “All regulatory agencies are working more cooperatively than ever before – not just in the United States but throughout the world.”

If I had a hammer… The beginning of the fall semester was full of familiar sights and sounds: the bustle of backpacked freshmen finding their way around campus, the cheering of the

football crowd on a Saturday, the aroma of barbecued ribs in the Bowl. And above it all was the heady sound of...bulldozers? For the next six months, the sound of pounding hammers, nail guns, and heavy equipment will dominate the south campus as construction continues on longanticipated new residence halls. The current trend in college housing is to provide a more residential look and feel to student living quarters. Gone are cinder block walls and institutional fixtures. They’ve been replaced with private rooms and rocking chairs on the porch. The three new buildings will each feature a living room, multi-purpose room, conference room, kitchen, T.V. room, laundry, and private bedrooms. Each room

will have a full-size bed, vanity/sink, closet, and movable furniture. Residents will share a bathroom with an adjoining room. The three halls will have the same floor plan, but each will have its own color palette and personality. Finishes such as flooring and countertops will be upscale, and the walls and trim will have a residential look. All three halls will have expansive porches, which will create common gathering spaces for the south campus. These buildings will offer a welcoming environment to upperclassmen who might otherwise choose to live off-campus. The new rooms will be ready for occupancy in August of this year.

and replacing them with new ones, leveling the structure, and rebuilding a wall that had become unsound. The corner rooms were reconfigured to better support the theatre program. There will be new dressing rooms and a new bathroom, a sewing room, and a teaching and movement studio. The chapel, on the northwest corner, was also stabilized, using an innovative method of soil injection that neutralizes the Yazoo clay underneath. This process prevents the overactive clay from expanding and contracting. Finally, a new layer of concrete was poured over the existing foundation to further level the room. And last but not least, a 2,000square-foot addition has been built behind the stage. This space will give the theatre division room to store props and equipment outside the main building. Performers will now be able to move behind the scenes from one side of the stage to the other without having to walk around the entire building. The Christian Center project, Phase I, was completed during December. The next phase will entail a complete renovation of the building to create a state-of-the-art facility for the Millsaps community.

In addition to the construction of new residence halls, the Christian Center has undergone a major facelift. The foundation was overhauled on the northeast and southeast corners of the building. This process included taking out the old slabs

State-of-the-art equipment arrives for new Keck Center The first piece of equipment to arrive for the newly established $818,000 W.M. Keck Center for Instrumental and BioChemical Comparative Archaeology at Millsaps will allow researchers to determine the chemical fingerprint of prehistoric pottery and other artifacts. The machine known as an inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer heats particles to approximately 18,000 degrees Fahrenheit to reveal identification through chemical compositions. “This machine will allow us to look at the elements, the geochemical characterization of artifacts,” said Dr. Timothy Ward, associate dean of sciences. “In 2,000 years contamination is an understatement.” By measuring the elemental composition of an artifact, researchers will be able to analyze pieces of prehistoric pottery based on the kinds and amounts of various elements used to create a chemical signature. “This kind of research is extremely useful when trying to understand ancient trade patterns and interactions between villages,” said Dr. Michael Galaty, associate professor of anthropology. “We might find that one potter in one village was making all the pottery in a region, or conversely, that each village had its own potter.” These types of discoveries are exactly what researchers hope to make as they weave together various underlying factors that led to state formation or hindered state formation in Old World and New World cultures. Such laboratory research will complement Millsaps’ two distinctive archaeological field research programs in Mexico and Albania. By making systematic comparisons of the Old World, which will focus on the Bronze-Iron Age Illyrians in Albania, and

To celebrate the first year of the lab, this year’s Moreton Lecture Series emphasizes its practical applications. Dr. T. Doug Price, Weinstein Professor of European Archaeology and director of the Laboratory for Archeological Chemistry at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, spoke on Sept. 26 about advanced science and technology applied in laboratories to archaeological artifacts. Dr. Hecktor Neff, professor of archaeology and research scientist at California State University, discussed on Nov. 3 ancient pottery. Speakers for the spring semester will include an expert on DNA and an expert on residue analysis of Mayan pots once used to store chocolate. Also planned for the spring semester is the formal dedication of the Keck Center.

the New World, as well as the Formative Maya period in Yucatán, researchers can study the economy, environment and subsistence, medicinal plants and stimulants, and human populations. Additional pieces of state-of-theart equipment for the Keck Center, established earlier this year after the college received a $400,000 grant from the W.M. Keck Foundation, will include a gas chromatography/mass spectrometer, liquid chromatograph, and a capillary electrophoresis with laser induced fluorescence detection. While the lab will work closely with current archaeological projects, it will also be an important tool in the college’s sciences and pre-med programs. “The science for what we’re doing with artifacts uses the exact same equipment that is used in forensic analysis, like what you see on shows like CSI,” Ward said. “The only difference is with these artifacts we’re adding 2,000 years.” By being exposed to such high-end equipment, undergraduate students are able to study science at a level that is most often

millsaps magazine

found only in graduate programs, thus giving them an edge when they apply to medical or graduate school, Ward said. Christie Kokel, a senior anthropology major and chemistry and biology minor from Houston, Texas, was one of four Keck fellows who studied in Yucatán, Mexico last summer. Two other fellows studied in Albania. As part of a team of archaeologists from Mexico and the U.S., Kokel worked with a team that dug to the bedrock of a ceremonial structure deep in the jungles of Kaxil Kiuic, Mexico. “I learned how to apply some of the archaeological techniques that I learned in class to the field,” Kokel said. “I also learned how to communicate with my excavation team who only spoke YucatecMaya and some Spanish.” The experience, she said, has given her a broader taste of the full spectrum of science. “I have always considered attending medical school,” Kokel said. “My heart lies in scientific research, whether in medicine or archaeology, I don’t know yet.”

Millsaps student researches fallen WWII alumni Clinton Cavett signed up for the Army Air Corps at age 19, and was told to take some college classes. He enrolled at Millsaps, joined Kappa Sigma fraternity, and The late Clinton Cavett took classes until he received a letter ordering him to report for duty. On his fourth bombing mission over Europe, on Sept. 8, 1944, Cavett’s plane went down. He was among eight of the nine crewmen killed. Cavett, age 20, was buried in Cambridge, England, in a cemetery that is also the final resting place for nearly 50 Mississippi servicemen.

Cavett is among 48 Millsaps students and alumni whose names are listed in the Christian Center on a plaque that commemorates those who died in World War II. Danny Siefker, B.A. 2008, researched the stories of those men and wrote a paper at the suggestion of Dr. Bill Storey, associate professor of history. “As a historian who grew up around great uncles who fought in the war, I was intrigued to discover the plaque in 1999, when I first came to Millsaps,” Storey said. “Since then I have taken almost every class to look at the plaque, sometimes to discuss concepts like heroism or sacrifice, sometimes to talk about the cost of the world wars. I remind my students that the students who died in the war were just like them. That makes learning about history

more immediate.” Siefker said the valor of the Millsaps servicemen fueled his desire to find out more. “This transcendental urge is what inspired me to take up and continue this research: the feeling of necessity to record these men’s lives while students at Millsaps and to peer into their decisions to become soldiers while reflecting on the memories of some of their friends and siblings,” he said. Siefker used original source materials from the National Archives in Washington and the Millsaps Archives. Nicole Skinner, who at that time worked in the Millsaps Records Office; WWII enthusiast Larry Wells, B.A. 1980, research coordinator for the Office of Institutional Advancement; and Dr. Robert S. McElvaine, Elizabeth

Globe trotting: Millsaps students and faculty take advantage of summer study opportunities Millsaps College once again sent students and faculty members to national and international locations last summer, covering virtually every subject area. In Israel, students visited historic and religious sites, including The Dome of the Rock,Tiberias, and the Dead Sea. While closer to home, another group studied the volcanic field at Yellowstone National Park. Half a world away, students studying in Ghana met Dr. Edward Mohama, hospital founder and Ghana 2009 presidential candidate. During their visit to a hospital, a baby was born and the proud mother named her Nell Lydia, after two of the students who stopped to admire the baby. Nell Knox, a Millsaps junior, right (in photo left) participated in the Ghana trip and summed up what many feel after partaking in a non-traditional class. “The whole experience was mind-boggling, challenging in the best possible way, and a total adventure. I know we are all so glad that we went, and we would do it again in a heartbeat.” — K.P.

International program introduces students to Millsaps and Mexico Six high school seniors developed a greater understanding of business in a global economy and got a real taste of college life, thanks to the International Business Advantage Program, a week-long summer program at Millsaps that culminated with a trip to the Millsaps Else School of Management Center for Business and Culture in Yucatán. Students studied Spanish and learned about business etiquette while on campus and traveled to the site where Millsaps archaeologist George Bey and a group of present and former Millsaps students have spent the last half-decade investigating the once-powerful Mayan culture. Mathew Cox, dean of enrollment management, said the program that is

entering its third year helps students become well rounded, and is something they can list on their resumes to make them more attractive to colleges across the country. “Any time a student can demonstrate not only what kind of scholar he or she is, but what kind of well-rounded person he or she is, that is extremely valuable to any college that evaluates its applicants based on more than just an ACT/SAT score or a GPA,” he said. The program costs $2,500 per student, which includes all travel expenses, food, and hospitality. Each student who participates in the program receives an additional $1,000 per year scholarship at Millsaps, in addition to any other merit award. Participants also receive a waiver of the $250 enrollment deposit at Millsaps. Students should have at least a 3.4 GPA, and be interested in majoring in business.

“I’m sure you’ve already observed this, and if you haven’t, take my word for it. Money does not buy happiness. A wise man once told me what money does: Money keeps a lot of little problems from becoming big problems. So acquiring money is a necessity. But it can’t be your only goal.” Tackle time wisely

“All of you are in a period of life where you’re making very big decisions. Some of you have already made them, like going to medical school in the fall, or getting married in the summer. But for those of you who haven’t, one thing you’ll hear people say a lot is, ‘Life is short. Don’t waste time, life is short!’ Well, yes and no. For people who are seriously ill, life is shorter than you can begin to comprehend. But for someone who is serving a life sentence in prison, life isn’t so short. And I want you to remember this: for someone doing a job they hate...life is long.” Get moving

So, be the person who does! Don’t be a wanna-be. If you want to be a writer, start writing. If you want to direct films, move to L.A. If you want to start the next Facebook, start it. Today.” Face uncertainty

“I’d like to urge you to judge every issue and every person you meet on a caseby-case basis. Never take a position on something or someone because you are a Democrat or a Republican. Make your own decisions, and try to have the courage to stand by them. “Don’t look for certainty in life; you won’t find it. Be suspicious of anyone who offers it to you. They’re selling snake oil. Be suspicious of simple answers. You do not live in a simple world. There’s nothing in life more comforting to human beings than a one-size-fits-all answer, but we have yet to find that.”

“Don’t ever be ashamed to say you’re from Mississippi. When I am home, I am one of our state’s strongest critics. But when I’m traveling, I’ll fight anybody who offers only ignorant criticism of a state they know little or nothing about. Don’t ever be ashamed that you’re from the South. The sins for which we have been pilloried exist everywhere.” Return home

Belly dancing class televised in weightloss challenge One of the oldest forms of social dance may be one of the newest ways to drop some pounds. April King of Jackson credits belly dancing, offered by the Millsaps Enrichment Program, with helping her lose 23 pounds as part of a People magazine challenge. For more than nine months, People followed eight residents from Mississippi, which has the distinction of being the nation’s most overweight state. The magazine required that participants lose weight with diet and exercise. “I agreed to participate because I knew this was the boost I needed to get serious about losing weight. I have been on diets and weight management programs since I was a teenager, and I have been in and out of gyms for the last 10 years. I have lost weight, but always regained it plus more. I was quite doubtful this experience would be any different,” King said. But this time, it was different. “I have not only lost 23 pounds during the challenge, but I have kept it off. Janice (Jordan) and Millsaps have helped me overcome so many insecurities,” King said. Jordan, a fit, energetic instructor is passionate about the belly dancing classes that she still teaches after more than 33 years. Jordan began belly dancing as a way to have fun and get back in shape after the birth of her son. “Any exercise is good exercise, and we work out a lot in class, usually working up a good sweat. There are no magic bullets for weight loss. You simply have to expend more calories than you take in. Belly dancing is a whole body workout, although we do concentrate somewhat on the abdominals,” Jordan said. King, an accountant for the Mississippi Department of Transportation, said the classes have helped sculpt her figure.

A television crew filmed her at Hal and Mal’s Restaurant & Brewery in Jackson during a dance recital, an event that concludes each of Jordan’s six-week classes. Jordan contends that while belly dancing can help participants become more fit, the classes are really about more than that. “We laugh a lot in class, and laughter is great for weight loss and fitness. We talk about body image and learning to love our bodies at the point where they are right now,” she said. In an article in The Clarion-Ledger on the day of the ABC airing, King summed up her belly dancing experience: “It made me feel good about my body. I think that

The Ford Academic Complex literally shook that day, with deep booms of thunder, and overhead lights flickered on and off. While the eeriness was the result of tornadoes in the Jackson area, many in the audience couldn’t help but wonder if it was the spirit of the late Perry E. Nussbaum, rabbi of Beth Israel Congregation in Jackson from 1954 until1974. “Is that you, Perry?” said Dr. Robert W. Tabscott, president of the Elijah Lovejoy Society in St. Louis. and an authority on Nussbaum. “Are we stirring things up today?” Tabscott, minister of a Presbyterian church in Jackson during the 1960s, gave the inaugural address in April for the Nussbaum Lecture Series. A panel of six, all witnesses to inequalities during the civil rights era, and each a proponent of racial reconciliation, reminisced about Nussbaum’s mission and ministry. The panelists included Tabscott; former Mississippi Gov. William F. Winter; journalist Bill Minor; Fred L. Banks, a former Mississippi Supreme Court justice who was local counsel for the NAACP Legal Defense and Education Fund; Bea Gotthelf, a member of Beth Israel Congregation; and Dr. John D. Bower, whose friendship with Nussbaum inspired him to establish the lecture series. “The first time I met him, he struck me as being an aloof, irascible man, a pronounced scholar who knew and spoke his own mind. He was frequently

“He was like the fiddler…trying to scratch out a pleasant, simple tune without breaking his neck…trying to keep balanced… following tradition…doing what God expected. He did what he did because it was right. And that is a wonderful and frightening thing.” —Dr. Robert W.Tabscott, former Presbyterian minister in Jackson, said of the late Rabbi Nussbaum, shown above.

accused of being blunt and insensitive; but even for his gruff exterior, I knew him to be sensitive and caring, a man who understood what it was to be a Jew. From the day he came to Mississippi in 1954, he sensed the unrest and the pending storm, and when it broke, he faced it,” Tabscott said. From the earliest days of the movement, the black churches were unofficial command posts for civil rights workers known as freedom riders. Because of this, many of the churches became objects of attack, and 41 of them were burned. In 1964 Nussbaum and others

founded the Interfaith Committee of Concern, collecting more than $119,000. Nussbaum’s involvement in rebuilding the churches made him a target, Tabscott recalled. “It was on a warm, September night in 1967 that the bomb tore out the west wing of the newly constructed temple. Two months later in November, the Nussbaums’ house was ripped open by a powerful explosive, placed under a bedroom window. The first people at the scene found the rabbi and his wife stunned and dazed, but miraculously unhurt. The gray light of dawn revealed the severity of the

i n t h e

s p ot l i g h t

blast. Throughout the day, surrounded by newsmen, investigators, and sympathizers, the rabbi kept a solemn vigil over the ruins.” Nussbaum remained at Beth Israel until 1974 when he retired and moved to San Diego. He served as chaplain for several organizations. He died in 1983. Bower, renowned for his work in nephrology and renal care, dedicated the series to men and women who stood against racial bigotry and religious prejudice. He endowed the series with $250,000. “Perry was valiant in the cause,” Bower said. “He moved across boundaries no one of his faith had traversed before. The new South that rises today is due in part to him.” Winter recognized Nussbaum’s contribution and issues that remain today.“In a time when the issue of race has surfaced over and over again on the local and national agenda, this lectureship gives us a renewed recognition – that even as far as we have come in enhancing trust and adding opportunities for people of all races, we still have far to go.” Millsaps President Frances Lucas said the College plans to host the lectures for years to come. “Like Rabbi Nussbaum, Millsaps College has always stood against racial bigotry and religious prejudice in the South, during the civil rights era, and today.” The 2009 Nussbaum Lecture is scheduled March 27. Millsaps Professor Robert McElvaine will discuss the history of the civil rights era.

Memories of the late Perry E. Nussbaum: “Those were tumultuous times – you can’t believe the absolute terror. You can’t help but admire him for taking a stand in the midst of such danger.” —Dr. John D. Bower, sponsor “He was not an easy person to deal with, but he had a strong belief, and he acted on it. I think it is fitting that we are hosting this inaugural lecture on the 40th anniversary of Martin Luther King’s death.” —Bea Gotthelf, a member of Beth Israel Congregation who was there during the 1960s “He was held in high esteem among the community. I know of the many dangers people faced during that time, and how it took a lot of courage to step forward. I applaud him for doing that.” —Fred L. Banks Jr., former Mississippi Supreme Court justice “I was cooking barbecue the night the bomb went off at his house. I lived only about a mile away from him. I knew immediately what it was – just guessed it. Perry was one of the winter 2008 11 most courageous figures that we knew back in those days.”— Bill Minor, political columnist

Celebrating Our Heritage

David C. Davis, Ph.D. Associate Dean for Arts & Letters Associate Professor of History

Forty years ago this year, the vision of a small group of academic entrepreneurs for a full-year interdisciplinary humanities course for freshmen became a reality. The Heritage Program is now a distinctive strength of Millsaps and has provided liberal arts training for more than 4,000 students. The power and beauty of this original conceptual framework is that Heritage is as relevant today for educating global citizens as it was in 1968. Environmental concerns, financial crises, foreign wars, political divisions, and terrorist attacks are nothing new. Through history, these are the challenges that bring out the best of who we are – the brightest minds, the poetic voices, the creative hands. True to its mission, today’s Heritage is not your mother’s Heritage course. Gender issues were incorporated in the 1980s and since 1994, the course embraced a global context for questioning and appreciating the “Heritage of the West.” Perspectives from Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Americas help define the origins and natures of the heritages of the West, while encouraging students to appreciate cultural diversity. Instead of faculty presenting pre-packaged facts known as “The Heritage of the West,” widely taught since the 1940s in the U. S. as “Western Civilization,” students are challenged to ask, “What is Western Civilization? What are the events and cultures that have shaped ‘the Western experience’?” From the core disciplines of the humanities – art, music, philosophy, religion, literature, and history – the Heritage faculty focus on selected moments – the choicest lines, the precious pages, and poignant images in the narrative of human history – to capture the celebrations and tragedies that shape our lives. Heritage provides learning situations in which students can develop skills needed to be

discerning interpreters of information, sensitive leaders, and responsible citizens in a global community. Led by four faculty who model academic inquiry and scholarly debate, freshmen are encouraged to ask deep questions, to engage in careful analysis of texts and images, and to develop effective written and verbal expression. Although our Heritage Program has been widely emulated and applauded by academic reviews, the most significant praise comes from the faculty and students who have been at the heart of the program since 1968. For most, it has provided a framework for all other types of knowledge accumulated over a lifetime of learning. As we celebrate 40 years of Heritage, let us also anticipate its future. It must remain true to its original purpose, but employ new technologies, encourage new debates, and explore the frontiers of knowledge. Proposals have been made to expand Heritage beyond its current first-year experience to include a more independent sophomore year experience with languagestudy and study-abroad opportunities for students who wish to explore a Heritage theme, topic, or question in more depth. Funds will be sought for faculty travel and research to enrich their expertise, both as a team and individually, and prepare them for the demands of this course. As part of the Millsaps family, you are invited to join us as we celebrate during the spring semester. Musical, artistic, and academic events that capture the Heritage spirit will be highlighted and will culminate in a reunion of former students and faculty in April. A reunion is a most fitting way to celebrate Heritage because it is not just another academic program – we will celebrate and honor what really makes Heritage valuable: the visionaries who conceived it; the faculty who taught it; and the 4,000 alumni who continue to make history every day. This is a Heritage worth celebrating.

Assistant Dean receives Professor of the Year award The Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching and the Council for Advancement and Support of Education have named Dr. Kimberly Burke at Millsaps College as the 2008 Mississippi Professor of the Year. Burke, professor of accounting, assistant dean of the Else School of Management and Kelly Gene Cook Chair of Business Administration, is the fifth Millsaps professor to receive the honor. Previous winners are Dr. Sarah Lea McGuire (biology), Dr. Bob McElvaine (history), Dr. Greg Miller (English), and Dr. George Bey III (anthropology). Burke was selected from nearly 300 top professors in the United States. She has taught at Millsaps College and the Else School of Management since 1995. “I feel very honored and very grateful to the college for providing a supportive environment where it’s possible to flourish as a teacher,” Burke said. Burke teaches undergraduate and graduate auditing, immediate and advanced accounting, accounting information systems, principles of financial accounting and introduction to liberal studies. She also leads study abroad programs in both Europe and Merida, Mexico. In every subject she teaches, Burke communicates excitement and enthusiasm. “Dr. Burke is very knowledgeable and loves her students,” said Liz Smith, a senior accounting major from Alexandria, La. “She’s a lot of fun and is actually concerned about her students’ well-being and success.”

“Dr. Burke has been an outstanding teacher-scholar since her first days on the Millsaps campus. She exemplifies the model of a Millsaps faculty member with her commitment to teach in a way that motivates students to learn at the highest levels of intellectual exploration,” said Dr. Richard A. Smith, senior vice president and dean of the college. CASE and the Carnegie Foundation have been partners in offering Professors of the Year since 1981. TIAA-CREF, one of America’s leading financial services organizations and higher education’s premier retirement system, became the primary sponsor for the awards ceremony in 2000. Additional support for the program is received from a number of higher education associations, including Phi Beta Kappa. This year, there are winners in 44 states, the District of Columbia and Guam. CASE assembled two preliminary panels of judges to select finalists. The Carnegie Foundation then convened the third and final panel, which selected four national winners. CASE and Carnegie select state winners from top entries resulting from the judging process. The Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching was founded in 1905 by Andrew Carnegie “to do all things necessary to encourage, uphold and dignify the profession of teaching.” The foundation is the only advanced-study center for teachers in the world and the third-oldest foundation in the nation. Its nonprofit research activities are conducted by a small group of distinguished scholars. The Council for Advancement and Support of Education is the largest international association of education institutions, serving more than 3,400 universities, colleges, schools, and related organizations in 61 countries. CASE is the leading resource for professional development, information, and standards in the fields of educational fundraising, communications, marketing and alumni relations.

Council honors Millsaps professor An understanding of the humanities gives students a broader perspective of their contemporary world and provides a wonderful background to enrich any field of study, said Dr. Laura Franey, the 2008 Humanities Teacher of the Year at Millsaps College. An associate professor of English and chair of the English department, Franey has taught at Millsaps College since 1999. The Mississippi Humanities Council gives the award each year in celebration of Arts and Humanities Month. “I try my best to provide students good experiences in the classroom, and I keep striving to improve my techniques and my personal connections with them,” Franey said. In connection with the award, Franey lectured on “That Dreamy Gliding in the Boat: Women’s Water Travels in Victorian Literature and Art,” at Millsaps in November. She will discuss women’s travels by railroad during a Friday Forum on April 24 at 12:30 p.m. in the Academic Complex. This event is free. “She is well known as an excellent teacher with high standards and a gift for

encouraging classroom discussions and as a conscientious mentor who spends many hours both inside and outside the classroom working with students,” said Dr. Richard A. Smith, senior vice president and dean of the college. “In addition, she is an accomplished scholar of travel writing and Victorian literature and more recently, Asian-American, Asian-British, and ethnic studies.” Franey’s enthusiasm for 19th century literature and an affinity for history, led to her first book, Victorian Travel Writing and

ImperialViolence: BritishWriting on Africa 1855-1902, as well as a new edition of Yone Noguchi’s The American Diary of a Japanese Girl.

“In college, I loved all of my literature and history courses that dealt with the 19th century and the early 20th century, including classes on British imperialism and the Victorian novel,” Franey said. “The 19th century seemed so diverse and rich to me that I couldn’t help but want to dig deeper.” Franey is working on a book about women’s modes of transportation and mobility as portrayed in Victorian prose fiction, narrative poetry, and painting. She received a doctorate degree from the University of California, Los Angeles.

Students learn while serving others. by Nell Luter Floyd

ameron Scipper, a Millsaps junior, shared books, games, and workshops with students at New Summit School in Jackson once a week during part of the fall semester. “I have been able to watch teachers incorporate many different ways of teaching. It’s been an eye-opener for me.” Scipper was among 21 students in Dr. Connie Schimmel’s education class who applied what they learned in class in real world settings. Students in Schimmel’s Human Development in Cross-Cultural Perspective class also volunteered time at Pecan Park Elementary, the Mississippi Schools for the Blind and the Deaf, and Physically Handicapped Library Services. Welcome to the world of service learning, in which professors design volunteer opportunities outside class to further their academic goals. “It grew out of programs such as education where students had to go out into the community as a part of their education,” said Dr. Darby Ray, associate professor of religious studies and director of the Faith & Work Initiative. “The rest of academia has had to catch up.” Dr. Therrell Myers, principal at New Summit, said Millsaps students such as Megan Beard go beyond the call of duty. When Beard worked with a class studying fractions, she thought of a way to make fractions more memorable and easier to understand. “Since she is the manager of a pizza place, she shared pizza with her students and even scheduled an extra day to do that,” he said. “She won their hearts.”

Millsaps students Cameron Scipper and Jessica Johnson offer assistance at New Summit School in Jackson.

Jean Milner, a third-grade teacher at New Summit who has more than 40 years of experience, said Millsaps students benefit from time in the classroom. She shared her method for classroom discipline and gave students other tips for success. n recognition of its effective community service and service-learning programs, Millsaps was named to the second annual President’s Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll. “Millsaps students recognize that service to others is part of a well-balanced life, and the College encourages this through our programs that match students’ interests with needs in the community,” said Millsaps College President Frances Lucas. Millsaps classes ranging from operations management to piano to Spanish have included a service learning component that not only provides valuable experiences for students but also provides assistance at community organizations. Dr. Robert Kahn, associate professor of romance languages, gave students in Spanish 3000, an advanced grammar and composition class, a choice of tutoring at St. Richard Catholic School and Murrah High School or working in the office of the Mississippi Immigrants’ Rights Alliance. “At MIRA they have to speak to clients on the phone in Spanish and use Spanish if someone comes into the office for help,” he said. Kahn also teaches the two-hour course, Learning Spanish through Service Learning, in Costa Rica. “The people taking the class visit a school, an orphanage, and an assisted living center during a four-week period. In addition to helping everyone at these places, they have to become familiar with social problems encountered in

Costa Rica and write and speak in Spanish about what they have learned.” The Mississippi Children’s Home is the recipient of a service learning project that Dr. Donald R. Schwartz, associate professor of computer science, assigned to students in his software engineering class. The goal is to provide a system for collecting, analyzing, and displaying data for programs monitored by the children’s home and implement an online database, he said. Students are also writing software for the Millsaps Writing Center and the Labna-Kiuic Regional Archaeological Project, a joint Mexican-U.S. research program in northern Yucatán, Mexico. Dr. George J. Bey III, Millsaps professor of sociology and anthropology, is co-director of the project. “Students get practical, real-world experience by working with clients and producing a product that will actually be used by the non profit agency,” said Schwartz, who has made presentations about service learning projects at several national conferences. “Hopefully, they’ll also recognize that they can use the skills they are learning in class to actually help others—and not necessarily just to draw a big paycheck.” A service learning component gives students a more meaningful experience in class than what a textbook and in-class activities would, said Dr. Stacy DeZutter, who also teaches Human Development in Cross-Cultural Perspective. Her students volunteer at the Boys and Girls Club and the Mississippi Natural Science Museum and also work with autistic children and assist in public school classrooms. “Throughout the semester, students will be asked to write about

and discuss their experiences, and to make connections between concepts we are exploring in the course, and the things they are noticing as they volunteer,” she said. “The aim is to get students thinking beyond the textbook to consider—and experience firsthand— how course concepts play out in everyday life.” Service learning can have a measurable impact. Last semester, eight students in Schimmel’s Field Research in Reading class instructed 36 at-risk fifth graders from two inner-city schools in an individualized reading program. The result was an averaged 3.6 grade level improvement in reading comprehension for the fifth graders, Schimmel said. “Put another way, 29 of the 36 fifth-grade students, or 81 percent, successfully completed their school year, and Millsaps students directly contributed to their success, one-on-one, by partnering with the schools,” she said. “Watching a young child progress academically, measuring that child’s success, and experiencing the joy of her/his learning from your efforts – these are just a few of the benefits of service learning.” eZutter believes service learning broadens the view of her students. “ I want students to come away from the class understanding that the things they learn at Millsaps are not just valuable in a college classroom but in many aspects of life. I also hope the experience will spark a life-long interest in volunteerism and in using one’s knowledge to serve others.” “Service-learning is a win-win situation. Our students and faculty get to test out their classroom learning in real world laboratories—to apply what they’re learning in the texts, they’re reading and

the discussions they’re having to real world challenges. In essence, they get to see what a difference their education might make in the world around them,” Ray said. Professors included service learning opportunities during the spring 2008 semester in a variety of ways: Dr. Ajay Aggarwal (Operations Management)

In this course, students worked with the non-profit organization, Parents for Public Schools. They designed a survey to help measure the impact of arts education on the learning abilities of elementary school children. This operations management course deals with quantitative decision-making skills, lending itself perfectly to this project. Dr. Stephen Black (Introduction to Human Services) Students spent 20 hours during the semester in a community agency related to their expressed interests in the field of human services. The service learning component provided a direct opportunity to unify theory with practice and created a context for a discussion of practical career issues. Dr. Ray Grubbs (Strategic Management) This management class connected with the local chapter of the American Red Cross to assist in creating a business plan for an online shop to sell Red Cross products as a fund raiser. This is an upperlevel management course for MBA students; it draws on everything they have studied and learned and integrates it with the study of strategic decision-making.

was to deepen the students’ global awareness, develop the students’ skills as listeners and speakers, and develop the students’ skills in presenting a powerful, well organized essay or video presentation to educate society about the plight of refugees from Sudan. Several of the best videos were presented at a Friday Forum for Millsaps and the wider community. Dr. John Osoinach (Precalculus)

This project paired students who were struggling to pass the mandatory algebra exit exam at Murrah High School with a Millsaps math tutor. The project addressed any mathematical gaps in the Millsaps students’ background and motivated them to succeed by exposing them to students whose struggles (both mathematical and social) are greater than their own.

Community Involvement Civic engagement characterizes the Millsaps campus culture, thanks in part to student-led initiatives and teams that focus on creating volunteer opportunities in the community. “Coming out of high school, many students are hungry to be involved,” said Dr. Darby Ray, associate professor of religious studies and director of the Faith & Work Initiative. “Millsaps provides support for a student to grow in community service and as a person.” New students have opportunities for service even before classes start. The Challenge program, hosted by the Campus Ministry Team, not only helps new students adjust to campus life but also introduces them to community service organizations. Students have volunteered at locations that include Stewpot Community Services, Grace Place at Galloway Memorial United Methodist Church, Operation Shoestring, the North Midtown Community Development Corp., the Good Samaritan Center, and the Alta Woods United Methodist Church Thrift Shop. The student-led Campus Ministry Team coordinates community service opportunities with local agencies and organizes yearly service trips for Hurricane Relief and to the Mississippi Delta. The Faith & Work Initiative coordinates service-learning activities between academic classes and K-12 education as well as the North Midtown neighborhood just west of the college. The College’s One Campus, One Community program channels the College’s diverse community service efforts in two strategic directions: K-12 public education and the North Midtown area. Millsaps students volunteer as reading tutors and after-school buddies at Brown Elementary in North Midtown. Millsaps also has ongoing partnerships with local organizations including Operation Shoestring, the Bethlehem Center, Stewpot Community Services, and the Good Samaritan Center, non-profits that address community needs; Gleaners, a feeding organization; and Grace House, a home for people with AIDS. Community service is also a part of campus religious organizations, honor societies, sororities, and fraternities. 25 winter 2008

Legacy: A Campaign for Millsaps College $160 Million Estate and Planned Gift Expectancies With a goal of $160 million, the Legacy campaign is the most ambitious fundraising effort in the history of the College, and when completed, Millsaps will be well positioned to continue its mission of educating future generations of passionate and compassionate leaders for an increasingly global society. Sixty million dollars of the campaign goal is being sought through estate gift commitments. As these gifts accrue to the College throughout the next several decades, they will offer continual support to strengthen programs and enhance the educational experiences of students and faculty, both in the community and around the world.

Estate gifts include bequests, trust arrangements, life insurance, retirement plans, charitable gift annuities, and any other giving which requires the donor to plan in advance the way the gift is made. Estate gifts are not necessarily large gifts, although they are often much larger than a donor’s annual charitable gifts because of their timing, the type of assets used, and the way in which they maximize one’s tax benefits.

One of the most rewarding gifts alumni and friends can make to Millsaps College is through the thoughtful inclusion of Millsaps in the donor’s estate plans. Specific tax laws make estate gift commitments advantageous both for Millsaps and for the donor. More importantly, donors will experience the personal satisfaction of knowing they are not only helping to enhance the legacy of Millsaps College, but also establishing their own legacy at Millsaps for generations to come. Those who have established estate gift commitments to the College are honored through the Millsaps College Heritage Society. When an estate gift commitment is made to the College—regardless of size—the donor becomes eligible for membership in this

Memphis Regional Campaign Event Draws Crowd At the Memphis University Club on April 17, 2008, alumni and friends of Millsaps gathered to celebrate Legacy: A Campaign for Millsaps College, the College’s $160 million capital campaign. The Legacy campaign, publicly announced in November of 2006, is designed to increase scholarship money, attract and retain exceptional faculty, enhance the campus landscape and facilities, and continue to develop innovative programs that are distinctive to Millsaps. “We are excited about this opportunity to tell you about your College,” Dr. Frances Lucas, president of the College, said to the crowd of nearly 75. “Our faculty continues to be recognized nationally and our students are among the region’s best and brightest. You can be proud of your College.” J. Murray Underwood, B.A. 1963, Legacy campaign chair, encouraged the crowd to consider their own Millsaps legacy. “You know what Millsaps has done for you. It’s time to think about what you can do for Millsaps.” The audience viewed the campaign’s DVD, which features more than 200 images of Millsaps from yesterday’s generations to today. For more information on the campaign and to view the DVD, visit legacy.millsaps.edu, or call the Millsaps Office of Institutional Advancement at 601-974-1023. We look forward to hearing from you!

Senior quarterback Juan Joseph (#11) executes a toss sweep to the left to freshman Shane Bowser (#24). Juan Joseph is joined by Head Coach Mike DuBose at the Conerly Trophy award ceremony in Clarksdale. Joseph is the first quarterback since Eli Manning to win the Conerly Trophy.

Major surprise: Joseph wins 2008 Cellular South Conerly Trophy Millsaps College senior quarterback and All-American hopeful Juan Joseph capped a stellar four-year career with an unforgettable honor: He was named recipient of the 2008 Cellular South Conerly Trophy, which is awarded to the best college football player in the state. Up against incredible odds, Joseph won the prestigious award over a pair of projected NFL first-round draft choices from Ole Miss. “This feels great,” Joseph said after the announcement. “I’m just happy. I can’t even put it into words.” Although two players from Division II Delta State University have won the award, Joseph is the first player from the Division III level to win in the trophy’s 13-year existence.

A senior from Edgard, La., Joseph led Millsaps to win 11 straight games. The team advanced to the NCAA Division III national playoffs before losing to Washington & Jefferson College in the second round. The Majors were ranked as high as No. 3 nationally in both the D3football.com and AFCA polls. Joseph led Millsaps in rushing with 76 carries for 412 yards and four touchdowns. He completed nearly 68 percent of his passes (301-for-445), for 3,463 yards, 32 touchdowns, and only six interceptions. A panel of about 60 media representatives around the state voted on the award, which was presented after a ceremony at Clarksdale Country Club in front of 200-plus in the hometown of Charlie Conerly, the former Ole Miss quarterback for whom the award is named. Millsaps coach Mike DuBose said Joseph could have played football at a higher level, but he valued more than just that. “He’s a young man that really was interested in academics and he proved that

by coming to Millsaps,” he said. Joseph was named the Majors’ top senior by the Jackson Touchdown Club. He still has two post-season honors pending in the Gagliardi Trophy – given to the top college football player in Division III – and All-Region/American honors by D3football.com. Joseph plans to graduate in May with a degree in business administration but will also see if he can play for a professional football team in the NFL or otherwise. If that doesn’t pan out, he plans to return to Millsaps to receive a Master’s of Business Administration. Likely a shoe-in for SCAC Coach of the Year honors, and currently fourth in the Liberty Mutual Coach of the Year fan voting, DuBose improved to 18-1 all-time in conference play and put the Majors in the national spotlight. Before DuBose took over as head coach in 2006, the Majors struggled, winning just 21 games from 2000-05 against 36 losses. An average team has now turned into a winning team with DuBose leading Millsaps to a 23-6 overall record.

Millsaps athletes capture scholar award Millsaps scholar-athletes have once again proved they have what it takes to win both on the field and in the classroom. Millsaps recently won the David M.

Halbrook Award for having the highest percentage of graduating athletes for the five-year period, 2003-04 to 2007-08. Millsaps had a 98 percent graduation rate in the Independent College Division. The award was presented during the 75th Annual Mississippi Association of Colleges and Universities Conference. “Our student-athletes come to Millsaps

because they love their sport and know they will receive an excellent education,” said Tim Wise, athletic director at Millsaps. “This speaks well for the type of scholarathletes we have here as well as the support

they receive from the faculty and coaching staff as they strive for excellence in the classroom and athletic competition.” Millsaps College is a NCAA Division III athletic program. A member of the

Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference, Millsaps has 14 men’s and women’s varsity sport teams.

Besides, it’s a fascinating place.” Growing up the daughter of American missionaries in Kenya, Nash never felt quite at home on American soil. “I always knew sort of what I wanted to do, even before I started at Kaley Payne Nash stands in her rose garden outside her home in Afghanistan, a cheerful respite in the midst of the “dusty city” of Kabul.

“I desperately needed to live somewhere bright and cheery to escape the pervasive brown that seems to fill this dusty city,” Nash said. Since she started her new job running field operations in Jalalabad, Nash is commuting between Kabul and Jalalabad. During the week she stays at a guest house, and a couple of weekends a month, returns to Kabul either by a Red Cross or USAID flight, since the highway is considered too dangerous for driving. “I’ve quickly discovered that Jalalabad is different from Kabul and abides by its own rules and I am, with complete certainty, breaking all of them,” Nash said.

everywhere—private security guards hold AK-47s outside most buildings, and a daily security report informs her about what areas are, relatively, safe for travel. “It’s not that I am not worried about security, because I am, and don’t find it rather debilitating, because I do,” Nash said. “The only way most of us can survive here is by putting most of our efforts into pretending that the way we live here is normal. It’s the only way to stay sane.” Despite the safety issues, Nash’s experiences remind her of a wonderful childhood in Africa, and she’s found comfort and satisfaction in the Afghan people. The hospitality of the Afghan people cannot be surpassed, she said. “They will welcome you into their homes with a smile and will always make you feel like an honored guest. The fact that so

many people here can still smile and be welcoming to foreigners is testament to their resilience.” In a society stricken by war for 30 plus years, the effects on daily living appear in nearly every aspect of life. For example, Afghan food revolves around naan, a flatbread, and greasy rice with small amounts of meat and potatoes. Both foods closely resemble food found in refugee camps. “Apparently, Afghans used to have amazing food influenced by all of Central Asia, but over the past 30 years, so many people have lived in refugee camps for so long that they have literally forgotten how to cook these foods.” In May, the couple moved into their first house in Kabul. They have painted the outside poppy pink, and the walls a cheery yellow.

Millsaps graduate wins prestigious Fulbright Fellowship On her first trip to Albania two years ago recent Millsaps College graduate Chelsi West, B.A. 2008, saw a lot of the Eastern European country that was different from her hometown of Jackson—the ornate mosques, the language, and the Mediterranean food—but on the radio she heard the familiar sound of hip-hop music. The idea of hip-hop in a place so far from home led West to write her honors thesis about hip-hop music in Albania and Tanzania, incorporating ideas of globalization, cultural transfer, performance theories, and identity formation. This research and writing, combined with excellent scholarship, is part of why she has been awarded a Fulbright Fellowship to Albania for this year. “I expected Albania to be so different from home, and I found it was very

i n t h e

s p ot l i g h t

m a j o r

different in some aspects but I also found some similar things. I heard a lot of American hip-hop on the radio,” West said. “Albanian hip-hop is very naturalistic and all about pride in the country and Albanian ethnicity.” West is spending this year living in the capital city of Tirana where she is taking classes in social science and Albanian at the University of New York, Tirana. West first became interested in studying other cultures when taking an introduction to anthropology course at Millsaps. The summer after her sophomore year, she signed up to work with Millsaps associate professor of anthropology Dr. Michael Galaty on the Shala Valley Project in the northern Albanian high mountains. The international project, which Galaty directs, was designed to study the remote valley’s cultural resources and the impacts of cultural isolation. Since her first trip, West, an honors graduate in sociology-anthropology with a minor in Faith & Work, has traveled to Albania again and Tanzania with Millsaps College. “Everyone stared at me because many Albanians have never seen anyone of African descent,” West said about her first trip to Albania. “One girl got my autograph; people wanted to take pictures with me and asked me if I knew Beyoncé.” The Fulbright Program, sponsored by the Department of State, is the United States’ flagship international exchange program. The program’s goal is to increase mutual understanding between the people of the U. S. and those around the world. Dr. Galaty said the honor of a Fulbright punctuates West’s truly amazing undergraduate career. “There are only two spots available each year for Albania, and she will occupy one,” Galaty said. “Of course, she fully deserves this opportunity. She will make a wonderful representative of our city, state and country.” West is a 2004 graduate of Murrah High School in Jackson. At Millsaps she served as a student leader for One

Campus, One Community, president of the Black Student Association, secretary of the Student Body Association, and chair of the Campus Ministry Team, Midtown Community Partnership Taskgroup. Other honors include being a member of the Senior Year Experience Steering Committee, a Ford Teaching Fellow, Homecoming Queen 2007, and Omicron Delta Kappa Freshman Woman of the Year. She is a member of the 2007-2008 Hall of Fame and a winner of the Frank and Rachel Anne Laney Award for her essay reflecting on the value of a Millsaps liberal arts education.

Transfer students eligible for Phi Theta Kappa scholarships Heather Phillips, B.A. 2008, is a graduate

student in the School of Public and Environmental Affairs at Indiana University who hopes to intern with the U.S. Government Accountability Office or at the

United Nations. She credits a rich and rewarding experience at Millsaps with putting her where she is today, and a Phi Theta Kappa scholarship for making it financially feasible for her to attend Millsaps after graduating from Hinds Community College in Raymond in 2005. “Without that scholarship I would have never been able to go to Millsaps. Millsaps was the kind of college I dreamed about attending,” she said.

Cox, dean of enrollment management at Millsaps. “For that reason, we at Millsaps have found that these students fit very well with us. They are motivated students who understand the value of hard work and a great education, so we’ve increased efforts to target Phi Theta Kappa students throughout our recruitment and enrollment process.” Phi Theta Kappa members attending Millsaps can join the newly established Phi Theta Kappa alumni chapter on campus, become active in service, and help recruit fellow Phi Theta Kappa prospective students for Millsaps.

Bishop Homer Ellis Finger Jr. Former president of Millsaps College Bishop Homer Ellis Finger Jr., a former president of Millsaps College who later became a United Methodist bishop, died on May 25 in Asheville, N.C. He was 91. As the sixth president of the College from 1952 until 1964, Finger was known for navigating tense times in an era of national racial unrest. He summed up the position of the College when he said, “College students have a right to hear various points of view. They are more mature in their judgment than they are sometimes credited with…Millsaps College has its weaknesses…but indoctrination is not one of our weaknesses.” By 1965, voluntary integration occurred at Millsaps without violence. Dr. Frances Lucas, president of the College, met Finger in June 2000 at the Southeastern Jurisdictional Conference at Lake Junaluska Conference and Retreat Center in North Carolina. “He wished me well with great enthusiasm and affection,” she said, noting that they corresponded through the years and that Finger remained interested in the College. Millsaps alumni recall Finger’s extraordinary memory. “In those days the president’s house was on campus in what is now the English house, and he would have every freshman and new student in groups of 15 to 20 come for punch and cookies, and he would call them by name,” said Robert N. Leggett, B.A. 1962, a Millsaps trustee. Finger at age 16 left his home in northeast Mississippi, rode all night on the train without benefit of sleeping quarters and arrived at the train station in Jackson at 5 a.m. After wandering Capital Street downtown for two hours, he hailed a taxi and arrived at the College for his freshman year. During his time at Millsaps, he forged a lifelong connection with ideas and institutions of faith and education. He graduated magna cum laude from the College and received a master of divinity degree from Yale University Divinity School. He held honorary degrees from five colleges. After receiving his master of divinity degree, he served a small church in Coldwater, arriving as a bachelor but leaving with his bride, Mamie Lee Ratliff. He served in the Philippines as a Navy chaplain during World War II. He received an appointment to Oxford University United Methodist church in 1946. In 1952, at age 35, with three children, Ellis, 8; Bill, 5; and Betsy, 1, he became president of Millsaps. He was elected in 1964 to the Episcopacy in the United Methodist Church and served in the Nashville Episcopal area for 12 years and the Holston area in Knoxville, Tenn. for eight years. He served on numerous church-wide ministries. Finger is among Millsaps College’s eight bishops honored with a scholarship. The Millsaps United Methodist Bishops Scholarship assists entering United Methodist students who exhibit outstanding leadership and service in their school, church or community.

Carol Comstock Bergmark Friend of Millsaps College

“Carol was a remarkable woman of wide interests, progressive thought, quiet courage, and abiding friendship.”

Millsaps College lost a dear friend when Carol Comstock Bergmark, 87, died on July 8 after a brief illness. She came to Millsaps as the spouse of Bob Bergmark, a longtime Millsaps professor, and became a great friend, mentor, and avid supporter of the College. Carol Bergmark graduated from the University of San Antonio, now Trinity University, and attended Westminster Choir College in Princeton, N.J. While working as church secretary at Travis Park Methodist Church in San Antonio, Carol met Bob Bergmark, a Boston University seminary student who attended a church service on his way to mission work in Mexico. They married in 1946, had three children and served together in Methodist churches, Bob as pastor and Carol as choir director, in Massachusetts and Texas. In 1953 the family moved to Jackson when Bob Bergmark accepted a position as a professor of philosophy at Millsaps. A talented musician, Bergmark taught piano lessons for 27 years and served as contralto soloist for several congregations and many choral organizations. She performed with the Millsaps Singers in major works for many years. “Carol Bergmark was a strong musical artist and an avid supporter of the arts in the Jackson community, and she was an inspiration to all of us in the arts’ community,” said Dr. Tim C. Coker, chairman of the Department of Performing Arts at Millsaps. During the civil rights movement of the 1960s, Bergmark was active in Mississippians for Public Education and was the Protestant representative of the Interfaith Fellowship, formed to promote understanding and cooperation of Jews, Catholics, and Protestants. She served as president of the Millsaps Women’s Group, and in 1969 was a co-founder of International Friends, created to provide a support network for women arriving in Jackson from all over the world. “Carol was a remarkable woman, a woman of wide interests, progressive thought, quiet courage, and abiding friendship,” said Dr. Don Fortenberry, B.A. 1962, retired Millsaps chaplain. “Dedicated to issues of peace and justice, to fine music both as an instrumentalist and as a contralto soloist, to international understanding and to relishing each and every experience as profoundly as possible, she set a high standard for living fully and deeply. Those who knew her over time were blessed with unfailing support and friendship without restraint. Carol was a model of authentic living and was—and continues to be—a gift in my life beyond measure.” Bergmark’s daughter Martha Bergmark received an honorary doctorate from Millsaps in 2008. Memorial contributions may be made to the Bergmark Endowed Scholarship Fund at Millsaps College, c/o Director of Donor Relations, P. O. Box 151191, Jackson MS 39210.

Aleda Shirley Writer-in-Residence Aleda Shirley, Millsaps College writer-in-residence known for her wit, her love of life, and her perceptiveness about students and their interests, died June 16 after a long battle with cancer. A graduate of the University of Louisville, she taught at Millsaps from fall 1999 to spring 2008. She was the author of three collections of poetry, Dark Familiar (Sarabande Books, 2006), Long Distance (Miami University Press, 1996), and Chinese Architecture (University of Georgia Press, 1986), which won the Poetry Society of America’s Norma Farber First Book Prize. She published poems in many magazines, including Poetry and American Poetry Review, and received, among many other awards, fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts, the Kentucky Arts Council and the Mississippi Arts Council. Greg Miller, a Millsaps professor of English who helped facilitate the hire of Shirley when he was department chair, recalled that Shirley helped students do their best work “and to be supportive of one another in discerning what ‘breathes,’ as Emily Dickinson might say, in stories and poems. Her students have gone on to do well. They universally adored her, as did her colleagues.” Shirley trusted students’ intelligence and allowed them to pursue projects they wished to pursue within the framework of an assignment, said Jack Boettcher, B.A. 2008 and an English major. “She encouraged aspiring writers to become wider readers and could make suggestions based on the sort of writing toward which a particular student gravitated. She would defend her opinions tirelessly, but she didn’t refer to her authority as a successful poet for the legitimacy of her arguments, because she wanted to engage as genuinely as possible with her students and the questions their writing raised.” Dr. Suzanne Marrs, Millsaps professor of English, remembered Shirley during a service on campus for her love of Frank Sinatra, red lipstick, sushi at Little Tokyo, and teaching. “She could send classes into gales of laughter with one comment,” she said.

Percy Johnson Longtime Employee of the College

“He was one of the most down-to-earth people you could ever meet.”

Percy Johnson, a beloved Millsaps employee for 35 years, died on March 23. He worked at Millsaps from May 4, 1971 until his retirement on July 31, 2006. “He loved the College and was always willing to help,” said David W. Wilkinson, director of the physical plant who worked with Johnson for 28 years. “He was one of the first to arrive in the morning and one of the last to leave in the evening. I didn’t just lose an employee when he died, but I lost one of the best friends I ever had.” Johnson was hired to run a Bush Hog and take care of the campus grounds but later handled maintenance needs from plumbing to painting. He knew exactly how the Leggett Center and the Ford Academic Complex Recital Hall needed to be set up for particular uses, Wilkinson said. “All you had to do was tell Percy, ‘It’s the Principals’ Institute, and you set up,’ and he knew just what to do,” he said. Bessie Harmon, wife of former Millsaps College President Dr. George Harmon, said Johnson was a hard worker who through the years became a personal friend of her family. Johnson would insist on driving the Harmons to the airport and picking them up when they traveled, she said. She recalled one time when they drove themselves to the airport, but Johnson met them anyway, telling them he thought they might like to have someone welcome them home. Johnson was born Feb. 13, 1942, in Jackson. He was one of 15 siblings.“He was one of the most down-to-earth people you could ever meet,” said Johnson’s son, Emmanuel “Scooter” Morris, a maintenance technician at Millsaps.

A New Life in North Midtown As I drive to work in the early hours of the morning, I’m struck by the North Midtown neighborhood where I live. It is one of the most economically downtrodden neighborhoods in Jackson. Each street exudes its own story, full of history and strife. Each block embodies a well-earned and well-worn character. I recognize that the simple joy that North Midtown provides me is shared by few and resolve myself to help other people notice this modest neighborhood. Moments such as these are just part of the reason I chose to spend my first year out of college living and working in this nearly neglected neighborhood. Thoughtful discernment and a sense of adventure motivated me to live and work in North Midtown as a participant in the inaugural One Campus, One Community Postbaccalaureate Fellowship. A week before graduation, armed with a spirit full of anticipation and trepidation, I picked up the key to my new house, unscrewed the boards from its windows and set out on the first new adventure of my postbaccalaureate life. Arriving at Millsaps as a freshman, I would have never believed that my first job out of college would include living and working in the neighborhood west of campus. If I’ve learned anything from life, it’s that the most worthwhile experiences are often those that are completely unexpected. I am living a life of poverty amidst poverty in a house built by Habitat for Humanity, and I couldn’t be more content. I work half of each day at Millsaps and the other half at Habitat for Humanity-Metro Jackson. I am responsible for attempting to forge more relationships between North Midtown and the College and trying to link campus organizations to philanthropic sites that they can assist. Though I sincerely hope this work contributes to the nourishment of the College, it is by far my responsibilities to Habitat for Humanity that make me excited to wake up in the morning. At Habitat I work as a maintenance man. I am the person called when toilets need to be unclogged, holes in the wall repaired, and windows replaced. Those tasks allow me to walk into the homes and lives of impoverished Jackson residents. I am graced with being able to see firsthand the hardships that face many. By opening their homes and their lives to me, residents offer a glimpse at the common, hard-nosed realities that constitute life for so many of our nation’s working poor. I could not be more thankful for these new friends in my life and the subtle, unconscious transformations that take place within me.
