MRS. TILTON TO TELLTALES OF PURITANS

"Were Those Puritans So Aw-ful?"

Upon this intriguing subject,Mrs. Elizabeth Tilton will speakMonday, March 1st, at 4 o'clock, atthe home of Mr. and Mrs. R. B.Barbour, opposite the • CountryClub, continuing the series of lec-tures being given by the WinterPark Unitarian Women's Alliance.The fourth lecture on the follow-ing Monday will also be held at theBarbour's S p a n i s h house, thespeaker being Joseph Lindon Smith,artist, archaeologist and humorist.

Mrs. Tilton needs no introductionas she has given her reminiscencesof New England, especially itspast, on other occasions in WinterPark. She herself, through hermother, is related to several fam-ilies along the seacoast, whosebrave sea-dogs found their way tothe Indies, but whose business andinfluence was unseated by Jeffer-son's embargo and the coming ofwhat the shipping aristocracy werepleased to call the "mill-rich".

She will tell old romances of thesea, and the transition from waterto water-fall, that is, from ship tofactory.

If you want to wander in box-edged Puritan gardens, hear howlovers dressed to go courting, whatthey said in pleasant summer-houses, of fortunes made out of thesea, of deeds of daring, especiallythose that gave us what we soprize today, our democratic way oflife, come and hear Mrs.. Tilton'stales, handed down through the oldsea-faring Puritan world, tales thatinclude the ancestors of many aWinter Park resident, including Dr.Hamilton Holt, Dr. Eugene R.Shippen, Mr. Luman Goodenough,Mrs. Alexander Trowbridge, whosefamily lent the lovely orchard, al-most in front of which GeorgeWashington took command of thearmy, Mr. Charles Hodges, MissHarriet Smith, Mr. Duncan Phil-lips, the authority on Salem, andothers.

In 1925 she wasloaned to the Turkish Government,at its request, to establish a childclinic at Izmit. She also estab-lished an itinerate medical servicefor the Assyrians at Mosul, Iraq.Dr. Carr returned to Greece to dopioneer work in tuberculosis atKaissariani Refugee Camp.

In her early days in Greece shereceived a decoration for workamong refugees—the order of theCommander of St. George—fromKing George. In, 1933 she wasawarded a gold medal for her theneleven years of continuous servicewith Near Eastern peoples. In1937 she was awarded the SilverCross of the Order of Phoenix forher fight against tuberculosis. In1941 the Archbishop's Gold Crossof the Church of Greece was award-ed to her.

In 1934 she was given an LL.D.'degree from Antioch College—theonly woman to hold this degree.In 1937, one one of her brief visitshome, she was given an LL.D. de-gree by Ohio State University.

In 1930 when Near East Founda-tion succeeded Near East Reliefand under reconstruction work inseven countries, Dr. Carr was ap-pointed director of health work inGreece where her clinics' schoolfeedings and sanitary work attract-ed international attention becauseof the simple, direct technique andhigh effectiveness.

With the invasion of Greece byItaly, Dr. Carr and the other mem-bers of Near East Foundation'sstaff in Greece, placed their serv-ices at the disposal of the govern-ment. The efficiency and conductof the Greek nursing and healthservice under extremely adverseconditions were largely the resultof the years of organization and<effort that had already been putinto effect under Dr. Carr's leader-ship.

She returned to America whenAmericans were compelled by theoccupying authorities to leaveGreece. The work is going on un-

DR. MOTT URGES MOREFAITH IN RUSSIA

The "Animated Magazine" of1943, Winter Park's unique annualFebruary event on Rollins campus,was favored as usual with warmsunshine, and despite the transpor-tation restrictions there was a largeand enthusiastic audience, whichcontributed $1800 for the "StudentAid" fund under the Rollins War-Adjustment program.

Entitled "International Issue",this year's Magazine, edited byHamilton Holt, offered "contribu-tors" who had seen the terrible tolltaken by the war in all countries,and stressed the responsibility ofthe common people of the world forthe kind of peace to follow the war.

John R. Mott, international Y.M. C. A. leader, urged confidencein Russia and a postponement ofany argument over Russian socialphilosophy. "The greatest problemthe world has ever had to face,"said Dr. Mott, "will be the rehabili-tation of civilization."

Senator Claude Pepper urged the

common people to take over the re-sponsibility for determining a justpeace. "It is your war," said Mr.Pepper. "It is your world. It isyou who must answer the question'After the victory, what? ' "

Francis B. Sayre, former com-missioner to the Philippines, toldof the courage of Americans onCorregidor (where he spent twomonths), who faced the certaintyof defeat with unwavering courageand high spirit.

Baroness Boecop, French author,declared that after defeat in battleFrance used the only weapon leftto her—the pretense of collabor-ation with the Nazis—a policy thatcost her the martyrdom of a gener-ation and the unjustified contemptof the world, but that France hadnever ceased to be one of the UnitedNations.

War Correspondent William T.Ellis stated that Turkey has genu-ine friendship for the United Stateslargely due to the missionary andaltruistic service which we havegiven her people. Turkey, he de-clared is one of the assets of theUnited Nations.

finer qualities of mind and heart,reverence, understanding, good will,courage, helpfulness, faithfulness,and unselfishness—a steadfast pur-suit of the nobler purposes of life-—all of which were characteristicsof him for whom the Award isnamed. It is an honor to be de-served rather than won.

Today, Mr. President, as chair-man of the Algernon Sydney Sulli-van Award committee, it is a pleas-ant honor to hand to you thisbronze medallion and request thatyou present it to Frances Knowles.Warren.

Rollins College has been blestby having Frances Bangs Knowlesof Worcester one of its founders in1885. Till the time of his deathhe was an active trustee and al-ways a more than generous bene-factor. This Chapel in which westand today commemorates and im-mortalizes his name and benevo-lence. His daughter, F r a n c e sKnowles Warren, has now takenthe place • of her father as a mem-ber of the Board of Trustees andas a benefactor of 'the College.For him she has carried on andfulfilled the Christian way of liv-ing.

Mrs. Warren has never courtedsocial fame but has been contentto give and to.serve modestly asopportunities might arise. Count-less things has she done for Rollins,but standing out above all theseare this Chapel and the StudentCenter, one the living symbol ofthe spiritual, the other of the so-cial life of the campus.

Mr. President, it gives me greatpleasure to nominate for the Alger-non S y d n e y Sullivan Award,Frances Knowles Warren.President Holt:

Frances Knowles Warren, gooddaughter of a good father, the Al-gernon Sydney Sullivan Award isnot bestowed upon anyone in recog-nition of social position, worldlypossessions or mere p e r s o n a lachievements^ h o w e v e r praise-worthy^ but in recognition of cer-tain spiritual qualities which wereso finely exemplified in Mr. Sulli-van's life and conduct. Becauseyou have possessed in great meas-ure an understanding mind and aneagerness to share with others yourstrength and resources, and par-ticularly because of your deep con-cern for the spiritual culture ofyouth, Rollins College awards youthe Algernon Sydney Sullivan Me-dallion in full knowledge that it* isrichly deserved and modestly re-ceived.

GEORGE HOWARD OPDYKE(Doctor of Science)

Nomination by Dr. Edwin 0.Grover, vice-president of Rollins.)

Dr. Grover:Mr. President,, the great British

scientist, Huxley, defined an edu-cated man as one who knew some-thing of everything and everythingof something. The engineer whomI present to you this morning andwho for the last few years has beenmaking his winter home in thiscommunity, is such an educatedman.

George H. Opdyke was bom inNew York City and is thereforethe exception to the rule that onlythe country can produce leaders.He received his Bachelor of Artsdegree from Wesleyan University,his Master of Arts from Columbia.University and his Doctor ofPhilosophy in economics and fi-nance from New York University.He then began his career as a min-ing engineer and petroleum geolo-gist and in pursuit of his profes-sion has travelled extensively inCanada and Mexico, Europe and theUnited States. He is learned inboth mineralogy and botany. Buton retirement from his active workas a mining engineer, he wrote abook entitled "Art! and Nature Ap-preciation", which did not discussart and nature from the creativestandpoint, but from the standpointof how to make art and natureunderstood, appreciated and en-joyed by everybody. This book soattracted the attention of the Car-negie Corporation and the Amer-ican Institute of Architects thatlectures on this new treatment ofan old subject were arrangd forMr. Opdyke to be given thruoutthe United States, especially in col-leges. Accordingly in the last fewyears he has addressed facultiesand students in over a hundred ofour colleges and universities on theimportance of art education.

Mr. President, I have the honorof presenting to you George How-ard Opdyke for the degree of Doc-tor of Science.President Holt:George Howard Opdyke, scientist,mineralogist, botanist, &vi and na-ture lover, for your high compet-

ence in both your vocation and avo-cations, for the catholicity of yourinterests, for the services you haverendered and are rendering in thecommunities in which you live, Rol-lins College confers upon you thedegree of Doctor of Science and ad-mits you to all its rights and. privi-leges.

CHRISTOPHER 0. HONAAS

(Nomination by Dr. Wendell C.Stone, Dean of the College.)Dean Stone:

Christopher 0. Honaas has con-ducted choirs since he was a Juniorin a_ Minnesota High School. Afterreceiving his bachelors and mas-ters degrees, he came to Rollinseleven years ago. Her he tookcharge of Music Education andtaught Theory of Music. At thattime the choir was conducted bya member of the English faculty.But when that professor left col-lege, Mr. Honaas was made choir-master. Since then Rollins has un-doubtedly perfected one of thefinest church choirs in the South,if not in the country. It is notlikely that our singers are mark-edly superior to those found inother colleges. But it is beyondquestion, the genius of the leaderthat has made our choir what itis, and genius is not too strong aword to use in connection with Mr.Honaas' choral conducting, .

Winter Park is fortunate in hav-ing attracted leaders in manybranches of art and science. Mrs,Isabelle Sprague-Smith came hereto live. She heard the choir. Shethereupon organized the Bach Fes-tival with Mr. Honaas as the con-.ductor. For years now the great-est works of the greatest composerof church music hav been given an-nually.' The Bach Festivals ofWinter Park are probably unsur-

2. They have processed and com-pleted over 4500 applications, andall of the -workers are to be highlycommended for their good work;and when you consider the fact that185 volunteers gave their servicesfor this purpose and not a singleone was late to report for duty,it is an example of which we canall be proud and a thing for whichthey deserve a great deal of credit.

Mr. Foster R. Fanning, as chair-man, is also to be commended onhaving such a wonderful organiz-ation that works so smoothly. Infact, during the first day of issu-ing the No. 2 books, Mr. B. D.Scott, one of the members of theboard, reported that these bookswere being issued at the rate ofsix per minute; and if the peopleof Winter Park can get service ofthis kind and do not appreciate it,then they really do not deserve arationing board in Winter Park.

This is the last appeal that thecommittee will make to the public.We ask each one who has not sub-scribed to do so immediately.Please send or take your subscrip-tions to W. R. Rosenfelt, treasurerof the Rationing Board committee,Florida Bank, Winter Park.

MAKE YOUR PERMANENT HOME

IN WINTER PARK

The Board of Realtors of Winter Park foresee asteady growth of permanent homes in our City. Theday of the "tourist" is changing to the clay of the all-year resident. The change is being accelerated by warconditions.

War conditions emphasize more than, ever beforethe benefits to your physical health and your pocket-book of making your permanent home in Winter Park.War conditions emphasize the hazard you take of get-ting back to Florida winter after winter. War con-ditions, of course, will not last forever, but they arebound to affect our living in every way for many yearsto come. You can solve the problem just as many othersare doing by making your permanent home here.

The Realtors of Winter Park are optimistic aboutthe future of this city. They foresee an inevitable risein values due to three definite factors:

1.

2.

3.

An increase in population incidental to thelarge Government installations at the AirBase.

An increasing demand for permanent homeson the part of Northern visitors who for-merly only counted on spending the coldmonths here.

A substantial building program, as soon asmaterials are again available, calling forsites in popular sections.

These factors comprise an investor's market andmay be expected to further stimulate real estate ac-tivity which already shows the trend toward realty asthe most satisfactory form of investment
