Huntingdon’s
Legacies
Message
from the President
What is your legacy? What will you hand down to your successors in your
family, at work, or, in a broad sense, to humankind?
Huntingdon College Magazine
Fall, 2009, Volume 88, Number 1
As we conclude the observance of Huntingdon’s 100th year in Montgomery, we have thought a great deal about the College’s legacies. We’ve
thought about the beautiful Collegiate Gothic buildings and the campus
designed by Frederick Law Olmsted; but as lovely as our campus is, our
legacy is far more than bricks and mortar. Huntingdon’s legacies lie in the
faculty and staff who have purposed their lives to inspire young minds to go
forth, and in the students and alumni who have done so, applying wisdom
in service to our world. Most importantly, our legacies are the ideals of Faith,
Wisdom, and Service by which this college has existed since its founding.

For this issue, we chose to write about two academic legacies that have
moved forward by giant steps this year: our music program (page 6), and
our legacy of liberal arts education (page 4), which is continuing in our
Quality Enhancement Plan, ACT: the Art of Critical Thinking. Of course, for
colleges and universities, the term “legacies” often refers to students who
enroll where one or both of their parents studied. We uncovered numerous
stories like that—some of which you can read in the Class Notes section of
this magazine.

And then there are the friends of Huntingdon who have so generously contributed to the life of the mind through their monetary support—so many
that they can’t all be mentioned here—which makes it fitting that the Donor Report is included in this issue.

Today, 156 years after our founding and 100 years after our move to Montgomery, Huntingdon still devotes itself to the education of the young people in this region within the United Methodist tradition of liberal arts. Indeed,
John Wesley is quoted as saying, “Think and let think.” Let it be so.

“It is not so very important for a person to
learn facts. For that he does not need a
college. He can learn them from books.
The value of an education in a liberal arts
college is not learning of many facts, but
training of the mind to think something
that cannot be learned from textbooks.”
—Albert Einstein
When the Class of 2014 enters Huntingdon
College in the fall of 2010, their learning
experiences will be different from those
of their peers by virtue of more than just
timing and personalities. A new curriculum will begin next fall—one that centers
on the acquisition and application of the
powerful skill of critical thinking. These curricular changes are part of the Art of Critical Thinking (ACT), Huntingdon’s Quality
Enhancement Plan (QEP), developed
in response to a new requirement for
regional accreditation from the Southern
Association of Colleges and Schools, and
designed to help students become rational and fair-minded critical thinkers who
can think actively, read closely, and write
substantively about significant issues.
Most people would agree that the world
could use a hefty dose of critical thinking skills. From the baker who was told to
decorate a cake with Olympic rings and
promptly wrote “Olympic Rings” in cursive
on the cake, to the journalist who wrote
the headline, “Federal Agents Raid Gun
Shop, Find Weapons,” all one need do is
watch the Monday “Jay Leno Show” or
Google “stupid headlines” for evidence of
the need to stop and think things through
before proceeding on a task, solving a
problem, or making an argument.
The teaching of critical thinking fits naturally in a liberal arts setting. From liberal arts
colleges’ earliest beginnings, the method
of educating has been wide exposure
to a broad range of subjects in order to
train the mind how to think and how to
learn—to inspire and support the life of
the mind so as to equip thinkers for lifelong learning. But, somewhere between
medieval times and now, the emphasis
of mind-training became diluted, and the
tendency for teachers to, for example,
require that students recite a chronological list of the European monarchy instead
of understanding the cause and effect of
the ideas that drove the major developments of each monarchy, became the
norm.
Enter Robert B. Barr and John Tagg, of
Palomar College (Calif.), whose seminal article in 1995, “A New Paradigm for
Undergraduate Education,” is still sending
ripples to educational shorelines nearly 15
years later. They contend that colleges
must shift from an “instruction paradigm”
to a “learning paradigm,” and that students, rather than being lectured to, must
be active in their learning—even to the
point of teaching each other—in order
to be fully engaged in the educational
experience.
Huntingdon’s 10-year accreditation review is this fall, and one of the components
of that review process, as for all regionally
accredited colleges, is a required Quality
Enhancement Plan, or QEP. The Southern Association of Colleges and Schools’
directives about the QEP are that it must
address the quality of students’ education and that results must be measurable.
Huntingdon faculty and administrators first
chose an emphasis on students’ first year
experience, later honed to an emphasis
on critical thinking, as the subject of the
College’s QEP. The choice grew from a
variety of factors, all of which pointed to
a need to change students’ minds about
the reasons for, expectations about, and
benefits of higher education so that they
could embrace and appreciate the
power they obtain inherently by learning
how to think.
To that end, three members of Huntingdon’s QEP Working Committee, co-chair
Dr. Frank Buckner, professor of religion
and philosophy; Dr. Kyle Fedler, vice
Dr. Chad Eggleston, assistant professor of
religion, conducts a study session for the
Hebrew Scriptures course.

to re-enter the core requirements next
year, as well.
For an educational experience to be
effective, it must constantly evolve as the
world changes and new sets of people,
who have developed new mind-sets
because of the world they have been
part of, enter it. Buckner sees critical thinking as an over-arching skill that transcends
changing times and minds. “If we do the
class correctly, students will realize that
critical thinking is power,” says Buckner.
“What we’re asking [students] to do is to
join a new community. We’re saying that
it’s not the opinion you hold, it’s the argument you supply to back your opinion that
matters.”
president for academic affairs and dean
of faculty; and co-chair Dr. James Truman,
assistant professor of English, attended the
International Conference on Critical Thinking in California last summer. There, they
learned best practice scenarios and ways
of teaching this important skill.
Symposium (LAS) classes were or the First
Year Experience course is, it will be about
training for a skill that will help you throughout the remainder of the curriculum, and
throughout life,” says Buckner, who has
been a faculty member at Huntingdon
since 1987.
Marketed internally under the phrase,
“Think Better,” the implementation of critical thinking training at Huntingdon will be
three-fold. To begin, first-year students will
take the course, PACT: Practicing the Art
of Critical Thinking. Replacing courses that
are now English 103 and First Year Experience 101, PACT’s intent hearkens back to
the original purpose of a liberal arts education: to train the mind to learn and to
think. Classes will be kept small—20 students or less—to facilitate class discussion.
A great deal of writing will be required, in
order to train students to synthesize their
thoughts with appropriate words. Critical
Thinking Intensive courses will then pepper
the remainder of the core curriculum in
Phase II, culminating in a Senior Capstone
experience, Phase III.
LAS, part of the core curriculum from 1996
through 2003, was a series of three discussion-based courses that replaced the previous requirements for religion and speech
courses. In 2004, the College replaced LAS
with three required religion courses and a
new course, the First Year Experience, or
FYEx, which introduced students to issues
they would face in college, such as time
management, study skills, and the Honor
Code. “What the LAS students had was
the commonality of a shared experience,
which affected retention, and the ability, after three courses in which class discussion and close reading of important
texts was paramount, to read closely and
to think critically about what they were
reading. PACT will use shorter readings but
the same discussion-based pedagogy
and will require that students participate
in their learning through group projects,
writing assignments, and even teaching
each other on certain subjects.” Buckner
added that he expects a speech course
Buckner says that critical thinking will
then become the spine of the curriculum. “The PACT course, for example, will
not be about content, as the Liberal Arts

Most Huntingdon faculty are already well-versed in discussion-based pedagogy. Here Dr.
Jennifer Fremlin, associate professor of English, teaches a first-year English class.
Heath Miller ’10, a biology major from
Guntersville, Alabama, is volunteering his
time to get the word out about ACT. “I
think that the new curriculum will not only
give students the knowledge they need to
succeed in their prospective career fields,
but also give them the ability to think and
to analyze solutions for themselves,” says
Miller. “Learning is about more than just
regurgitating facts back to a professor.
Learning is about taking facts that you
are taught, applying them to situations
you are in, and making logical and wellthought decisions that apply to the problems that you face. I think that the Art of
Critical Thinking initiative will produce
more well-rounded students who are then
better able to position themselves in a
competitive job market.”

A Legacy of Music
A walk through Smith Music Building
reminds one of being a guest at a musical smorgasbord. From various rooms, the
banquet of sounds includes a barbershop
quartet blending tenor, baritone, and bass
voices; world-respected pianist Dr. Vadim
Serebryany teaching a Brahms piece;
Pedro Luis Mayor ’02, on piano, and tuba
player Julian McGuire ’13 (Music/Biology;
Montgomery, Ala.) marrying a bass line to
a jazz tune; and a voice student practicing Italian diction to perfect an aria. Percussion, brass, and woodwinds roar and
thump from the front lawn as the marching band rehearses. In nearby Flowers Hall,
swells of organ music sway the steeple as
professor of music emeritus Dr. Harald Rohlig, an icon at Huntingdon since 1954, plays
the magnificent organ he designed.
Since Huntingdon’s earliest days, music
has filtered through the cracks and crevices of practice rooms to kiss the ears
of the college community, and performances have brought neighbors, friends,
and enthusiasts to campus. Classical training is at the heart of the major. In all of
these ways, music at Huntingdon today
is much like its beginning years. But stride
through Smith Music Building and listen
more closely. What’s different about the
Huntingdon music of today is the diversity.
Once a department of only voice and
piano majors, the College now has percussion, woodwinds, brass, piano, voice,
and a classical guitar major. In addition,
a much wider aggregate of students who
are majoring in other areas but who participate in music activities that include
choir, marching band, barbershop, concert band, pep band, and indoor percussion, is served and enriched by this ambitious and talented music faculty.
At the heart of the program stands Gene
Davis, department chair and a member
of the faculty since 2007, with 30 years of
choral directing and teaching in Montgomery public schools and community
choirs under her baton. She heads 16
music faculty, five of whom are full-time.
Master classes and workshops enhance
teaching and learning in the department.
Su Ofe
And the Beat Goes On
The Huntingdon First Scarlet & Grey Marching Band has boosted a new era of musical
diversity in the Department of Music.
Like any art form, music is arguably equal
parts joy, work, passion, expression, and
talent. The Department of Music, which
maintains its accreditation through the
National Association of Schools of Music
(NASM) as well as through the College’s
regional accreditation agency, the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools
(SACS), offers a Bachelor of Arts in Music
and P–12 teacher certification in both
instrumental and choral music. In recent
years, new faculty have not only filled positions created by retirements and vacancies, but have also brought a passion for
the joy and expression of music, and not
just the work of it.
Last year, the addition of Dr. Vadim Serebryany catapulted Huntingdon’s piano
instruction to a new level. An artist who
performs all over the world, Serebryany
has brought piano instruction with pizzazz.
“He’s witty, focused, playful, and passionate in his approach to music and in
his instruction—and he just plain loves to
teach,” says Davis. He stokes his own passion by putting fingers to keys in concert
appearances throughout the world. This
summer, he was the only pianist among
an international faculty representing the
world’s best symphony orchestras teaching and performing throughout Japan.
He appears regularly with a cellist and
violinist in a group they call Trio +, and
with Huntingdon faculty and music graduates in free recitals for the Montgomery
community.
Su Ofe
Eleven part-time instructors focus their
talents on those who want to master
expertise on their respective instruments.
Whether full- or part-time, faculty motivation is the same, says Davis. “It’s straight
from the heart. All of us love music, and all
of us love teaching, and we want to give
that passion to every student.”
Gene Davis is the chair of the
Department of Music.
The rest of the full-time faculty quintet includes Dr. Jennifer Canfield, who
entered the score this year, bringing
expertise in choral music education. She
also teaches some of the department’s
church music courses. Harold Blankenship,
who heads the marching band, has many
years of experience teaching and directing bands in public schools, which means
he knows nearly everyone in the business.
His forte is recruiting. Dr. Dennis Herrick,
professor of music and a member of the
faculty since 1988, leads the trumpet section for the Montgomery Symphony and
can usually be seen performing whenever
there is great music in Montgomery. And,
of course, there is Davis, who heads the
annual choral competition at the Alabama National Fair and regularly adjudicates for competitions among various
school districts and vocal associations.
These five faculty and an impressive list of
adjuncts, many of whom perform with the
Montgomery Symphony, spin the Montgomery musical world like a pizza—one
with everything on it. Increasingly, the College itself is at the center of that world. The
College’s Elizabeth Belcher Cheek Piano
Concert Series has expanded from one
annual event to five performances this
year; a new organ recital series named in
honor of Harald Rohlig has added three
public recitals; and young events like
A Service of Lessons and Carols, Psalmfest, and the spring Concert Band performance draw enthusiastic crowds. In
addition, the College hosts a week-long
piano camp for beginning students in the
summer; the band hosts an honor band,
the AISA band competition, a spring invitational band, and a summer spirit camp;
and the College hosts the annual BlountSlawson Music Festival, Boykin Festival, and
biennial Vann Vocal Festival and Institute,
as well as performances by groups such as
ClefWorks and the Montgomery Chorale.
At this writing, the National Association of
Teachers of Singing Alabama chapter just
held their fall workshop and master classes
on campus. Next year, the department
intends to further expand performance
opportunities for students, to include a
women’s choir, a men’s choir, and a jazz
band.
The symphony of sounds, styles, and experiences available to Huntingdon music
students is no less than thrilling to Davis.
Several years ago, the department had
dipped to just twelve majors but is steadily
building numbers again. “This is a different
department than it was just a few years
ago. Our focus today is not only on performance, but also on music education. We
are educating a new generation of musicians to encourage and inspire new music
makers in their studios, classrooms, and
churches. There is enthusiasm and love lifting every note we play or sing. I can’t wait
to hear what happens next!”
The annual Service of Lessons and
Carols is both a beautiful ceremony
and a public presentation of the
depth of talent in the Concert Choir.

The music faculty and a few friends combined their talents to present “Faculty Follies and
Serious Stuff” to kick off the 2009–10 academic year. Seated on the piano is Madame
Camille Elebash-Hill, performing her rendition of Peggy Lee’s hit, “Fever.”

A Legacy of
Involvement
LL
ee Ann Hundley Boykin ’87 has
made more than a million dollars for Huntingdon College since
she graduated. Her love for Huntingdon has sparked a succession of students from the youth group she directs at
First United Methodist Church, Dothan, to
enroll, continuing the work she began as
an admission counselor for Huntingdon
shortly after she graduated.
“I feel like I have been able to give back
some of what Huntingdon gave to me by
encouraging students to consider Huntingdon for their College home,” says Boykin.
Boykin was an active Huntingdon student.
Involvement with Chi Omega fraternity,
work-study, planning Chapel services,
completing two internships in her major,
Homecoming activities, the Huntingdon
Singers, service organizations, and many
other clubs filled her time. “I’ve never
looked back! The best way I can describe
it is that Huntingdon fit for me. I loved the
friends I made and the family feeling I had
with my professors,” says Boykin.
She was not ready to leave Huntingdon at
the end of her four years, so she stayed
on as an admission counselor, recruiting
students from Alabama and West Florida.

Some of Boykin’s babies joined her for this
photo, including, back row, L-R, McDowell
Pinckard ’12, Ben Cheney ’10, and Kelsey
Loftin ’11; and front row, L-R, Kelly Frazier
’10, Boykin, Will Francis ’12, and Woods
Lisenby ’11.
Boykin says that when she gave tours, she
loved sharing her own and her friends’
Huntingdon experiences with prospective students. “It was great when I toured
a family and could tell that they fit here,
too.”
Since then, she has become a wife,
mother, and youth director, but has never
stopped sharing the best of Huntingdon
with others. Her enthusiasm has influenced youth group members Leah Nesbitt Kottyan ’05, Shannon Cheney ’07, Ben
Cheney ’10, Gillian Lisenby ’08, Woods
Lisenby ’11, Sarah Francis ’11, Will Francis
’12, McDowell Pinckard ’12, Kelly Frazier
’10, Ben Marsella ’10, Alison King Dempsey
’09, Morgan Lester Basso, and Kelsey Loftin
’11 in their decisions to enroll.
Dempsey remembers Boykin bringing
members of the youth group to see the
Miss Huntingdon Pageant and to support
Shannon Cheney, a pageant finalist.
Will Francis says he sat back and relaxed
while his friends were struggling with their
college decisions. “Lee Ann brought me
to a Host Day at Huntingdon when I was
only a 14-year-old. I’m not sure if Lee Ann
knew the phrase, ‘Get’em while they’re
young,’ but that’s exactly what she did,
and it’s one of the key factors in knowing
my college of choice before I even got to
high school.”
Ben Cheney still turns to Boykin for advice.
“She exposed me to the College early,
bringing us here on mission trips and telling
stories about the fun she had here—especially with the fraternities on campus.”
Boykin has been supportive of “her students” and their friends throughout their
college years. “I check in with my students
and have my church send care packages
to them each year,” she says, sharing a
list of ways she has embraced Huntingdon as a way of life and gotten Huntingdon’s name out there: “I have Huntingdon items in my office and let people
know I’m an alum; I wear my Huntingdon
clothes proudly; I talk to parents about
financial aid and scholarships, and even
call Huntingdon staff when I think it might
help; and I take my youth to any event on
by Kelsey Loftin ’11
campus that I can work into a recruitment
experience.”
Boykin is doing her part to make sure that
Huntingdon College will be around to produce countless generations of Hawks who
will enter to grow in wisdom and go forth
to apply wisdom in service.
Among the reasons she encourages youth
in the same path she followed is Huntingdon’s deep connection with and service
to the United Methodist Church. Boykin
graduated with a degree in social work,
then completed a second HC bachelor’s degree in psychology. Because she
recognizes the need for trained leaders
in youth ministry, she is grateful for the
training she has received at the College
through Conference seminars and workshops. “Having religion professors who
are willing to teach in local congregations makes me proud of my alma mater.
I also appreciate the increased emphasis
of connecting current students [who are
studying toward careers in worship leadership and in youth, children’s, and music
ministry] with churches in the Conference
who are looking for student workers. ”
Huntingdon has grown with the students,
culture, and world through the years, and
Boykin has experienced that first-hand. “I
love that I had a different college experience than my aunt who attended 30
years before I did, and that I had a different experience than the youth from my
church who are attending Huntingdon
now, but that we all have had very special,
life-changing years with Huntingdon.”
Boykin is an example that school spirit
should not fizzle once graduates make
it across the stage to accept their diplomas, but should live on long after. She has
already made plans for that. “When I die, I
have told my husband to include Huntingdon as a place where people could make
donations, so I hope that someday there
might be a big check coming,” she says
with a wink.
Kelsey Loftin ’11 is an English major from
Dothan, Alabama, who plans for a career
in publishing.

A Legacy of
Travel-Study
“The journey of discovery lies not in seeking new landscapes,
but in seeing with new eyes.”—Marcel Proust
Huntingdon Plan Travel, part of regular tuition and fees for
students in their junior or senior year, took students in groups
with faculty and staff to Costa Rica, Panama, Paris, and
Hawaii this spring. International travel-study was introduced
to the Huntingdon experience under President Allen Jackson in 1987 and has been a central component of the Huntingdon Plan since its inception in 1996. The reason? New
landscapes awaken student awareness of the power of
seeing and knowing with new eyes.

Biology faculty Dr. Jim Daniels (back row, orange shirt),
and Dr. Allen Tubbs (back row, green shirt), took a

Costa Rica.
“One of the most gratifying things about teaching at Huntingdon is that
faculty are truly encouraged and supported in efforts to broaden students’
horizons and to create opportunities for students that they might not otherwise have. By taking Huntingdon students to Costa Rica, where I’ve been
conducting research since 1987, I hope to expose them to cultures, habitats, and adventures they would not otherwise experience, and to inspire
them to get outside of their comfort zones and pursue their dreams.”

“To say that I was lucky to travel to Paris in January 2009 is an
understatement! I had traveled to Europe before, but not with the
course work and preparation Huntingdon offered. Having studied
the semester prior to our trip, I and others found that we gained
much-valued perspective and appreciation for the places we at
first knew only in the classroom, but were then experiencing and
loving for ourselves.”—Julie Wahl ’10 (not pictured; Biochemistry;

“I never really thought much about the Huntingdon motto until I went on the Panama trip with campus ministries. Huntingdon really does give students the skills and the knowledge they need to grow in
wisdom and to apply wisdom in service to others. Not only was our mission trip to Panama an incredible opportunity to share our faith in service to other people, but it was also an awesome time to grow
as individuals and as a team. Being a part of such an educational and spiritual trip is definitely lifechanging.”—Courtney Bunce ’11 (Psychology/Youth Ministry; Pike Road, Ala.)

“The Hawaii trip was an amazing experience. Not only did we

Huntingdon trip like ours. We’ll
never forget about surfing, the
local stores, moped rides, or hiking to the local WalMart. I can
only say one thing to summarize
our trip. Aloha, Hawaii!”

The Hawks on the Hill Internship program
places students in internships from Goat
Hill (Montgomery) to Capitol Hill (Washington, D.C.) working for government offices,
officials, or agencies. Some internships
are paid, some are not, and some can
be completed for credit. Students of any
major are welcome. For instance, a biology or chemistry student might look for a
placement in the FBI or ABI forensics lab;
a psychology major might look for a spot
in the Alabama Department of Children
and Family Services.

In addition, Huntingdon has partnered
with American University’s Washington
Semester Program to offer in-depth study
in D.C. (8 credit hours), combined with an
internship (4 credit hours), and sometimes
adding a research project (3 or 4 credit
hours) and international study to the mix.

Two of the most valuable experiences students may ever have are interning and
studying in places or settings that challenge them beyond their comfort zones.
Huntingdon’s new Hawks on the Hill program brings students both opportunities.

New Spaces Debut
Ligon Hall reopens after renovation.
The old adage is true: change is the only
constant. This year, new spaces on campus are built around two “C”-words—community and convenience. On the east side
of campus, Ligon Hall was restored to its
original (1947) intent after a six-month, $1
million renovation, to house 100 freshman
women in double rooms. Now, Ligon is the
only residential facility that offers wireless
Internet access throughout the building.
Next door, the footprint of Massey Hall
will soon be known as “Massey Beach,”
where a sand volleyball pit, picnic tables,
and spaces for relaxing and gathering will
be constructed. In front of Delchamps Student Center, “The Grove” is a new space
for outdoor displays and gatherings celebrating the First Amendment. In Java City
(Houghton Library basement), a newly
installed C-store (“C” for convenience)
gives students easy access to items for
daily living, such as toiletries, over-thecounter medicines, and snacks. On the
library’s second floor, the new Kathryn
Tucker Windham Room, dedicated last
spring in honor of the Class of 1939 alumna,
gives library patrons a quiet place to study.
Flowers Hall is abuzz in preparation for the
new Jean Rodgers Prayer Chapel in Flowers 207, named in honor of Jean Rodgers
’49, who served as the College’s registrar
for 32 years. Later this year, the west side
of campus will bustle as several offices,
including the registrar, college travel and
event planning, the business office, and
student financial services relocate from
the Cloverdale Campus to the James W.
Wilson Center on the main campus.
A C-store has been added to Java City.
Kathryn Tucker Windham ’39 came to the
opening of the room named in her honor
in Houghton Library last spring.

Music, Religion, and PE Programs Grow
A major in Youth Ministry, a minor in Christian Education, a major in P–12
Physical Education, and P–12 teacher certification in both instrumental and
vocal music have enhanced the curriculum in the Departments of Religion,
Sport Sciences and Physical Education, and Music this fall. The programs—
most of which restore areas of study that were discontinued at one time
because of low student enrollment—were initiated in response to renewed
student demand, community need, and an ability to match new faculty in
positions necessary to restore the programs. “As a liberal arts college that
serves, primarily, this region of the Southeast, we are constantly looking for
ways we can prepare our students to match their skills to societal needs,”
said Dr. Kyle Fedler, vice president for academic affairs and dean of faculty. “Huntingdon has long been known for excellence in teaching, music,
and ministry, and these programs extend the College’s sphere of influence
in the lives of young people throughout the region.”

for three years.
“This is an exciting time in the life of the College, and I am honored to
be here to work with President West and all of the constituencies of the
Huntingdon family to continue the positive momentum surrounding Huntingdon,” says Leigh. “To me, the heart of a college is its people, and I have
been so blessed in my first few months here to have an opportunity to meet
hundreds of friends and alumni of the College, to hear of their love for Huntingdon, and to be inspired daily by the wonderful group of students who
call Huntingdon their home.”

Sharing Skills and Changing Lives
Students in the Adapted Physical Education course with Dr. Lisa
Olenik Dorman, associate professor of sport sciences and physical
education, have begun an Adapted Sport Day program for Brewbaker Junior High special education students in their CommunityBased Integration (CBI) Program. The intent of the program, which
began October 15, is to teach prerequisite sport skills necessary
for participation in lifetime physical activity.
Dorman, an adapted sport specialist, arranged the cooperative
effort with Susan Moon Goldthwaite ’86, who teaches the Brewbaker special education courses and leads the CBI. The Brewbaker students are bussed to the College once each month for
Adapted Sport Day—usually one hour of learning skills the children
can then use in daily living and in recreational sports for the rest of
their lives. The Huntingdon students are assessed on their ability to
apply the concepts discussed in the APE course, if they choose to
participate in the project. “Our students are quickly adapting to
the service-related needs of these children, some of whom have
multiple physical and cognitive disabilities,” says Dorman. “As they
get to know the children as people who have real and immediate needs, they are able to empathize and understand the tremendous challenges the children face. The children, in turn, are
impacted through their experience with the college students. It’s
a win-win situation for all.”
As veterans of service know, helping others can be contagious.
When college students realize they can impact the lives of others
in positive ways, it not only gives them a sense of purpose and
direction, but also helps them realize where their talents can meet
the needs of the world, says Dorman. “Several weeks ago, I had
one of our students work one-to-one with a young girl who has
a visual impairment, cognitive disability, and uses a wheelchair.
We were working on football skills. When the program was over,
he told me it was the hardest thing he had ever done. The next
week, he stopped by my office and asked me to give him more
work to do at the next program. That’s exactly the impact I hope
a cooperative project will have on our students’ lives.”
Brewbaker’s Community-Based Integration Program provides
educational services for students with special needs, incorporating functional academics with community integration. The curriculum focuses on strategies that prepare students to function
as independently and productively as possible in an integrated
community. A life skills curriculum places special emphasis on the
basic skills necessary to ensure a student’s success as a citizen,
consumer, worker, and family member. Students are taught academic, daily living, pre-vocational, social, and community integration skills. The program commits to teach students with special
needs to learn, work, live, recreate, and socialize just as their nondisabled peers.
Dorman says others in Huntingdon athletics, including Head Football Coach Mike Turk and Head Volleyball Coach Megan Aiello,
have given their time and staff time to the project, as well. “The
project is already growing with Huntingdon involvement,” says
Dorman. “I can foresee tremendous possibilities as we move
forward.”

Church in Ravaged
Katrina Area
Receives Grant
to Create “A
Patch of Eden”
Bayou La Batre First UMC Senior
Pastor Connie Farnell received an
$8,000 grant from Huntingdon’s
Rural Leadership Initative this spring.
Presented by RLI director Mike
Gaby, the grant funds the planting
of a garden in an unused 11 acres
near the church, which is located
on a hill overlooking the Katrinaravaged community. The garden will feed hungry neighbors and will depend
on the help of donated services for sustenance. Finally, the garden will provide
room to plant and harvest hot peppers that will be marketed in the area, further
spreading awareness of the project. Gaby read all of the proposals. “Two things
about this project especially impressed the grant committee,” said Gaby. “First,
that the project involved so many different people and organizations—not only
engaging others in the community but also those in the church. Second, that the
project is sustainable; therefore, this grant is a catalyst for an ongoing ministry.
This is a ministry that doesn’t just give something away, but also allows people to
be involved in multiple ways. In other words, this is not ministry to someone but
with someone, and it is self-replicating.”
Duffey Institute Offers
Workshops
Huntingdon’s Paul A. Duffey Institute for Church
Leadership held two events for leaders at
small churches this fall, intended to maximize
effectiveness in teaching, music, and worship
attendance. The Teacher and Music Training Workshop included choral music training
led by Ms. Gene Davis, chair of the Huntingdon Department of Music, and a workshop on
organ music led by Dr. Harald Rohlig, professor
emeritus of music. Dr. Ed Trimmer, Chapman
Benson Professor of Christian Faith and Philosophy and dean of the Duffey Institute, was the
keynote speaker for the “Spiritual Formation
and Christian Education” seminar. Separately,
Rethink Church training extended a project
of the United Methodist Church to the tri-county area. The program encourages small
churches to be active in their communities and to reach out to new members, rather
than waiting for new members to find them.
Dr. Ed Trimmer, dean of the Duffey Institute, known nationally for his expertise in youth ministry,
leads a workshop for United Methodist youth directors presented by the Duffey Institute and the
Alabama-West Florida Conference.
Aarendy Gomez ’12 (Political Science; Centerville, Ala.) participated in the Hispanic
Youth Leadership Academy held at Drew
University this summer. Components of the
program were leadership within the United
Methodist Church and the Hispanic/Latino
community, preparation for college and
graduate school, and advocacy. Through
participation in HYLA, Gomez also attended
the annual meeting of a Hispanic caucus
called MARCHA, held in Chicago.
Students Serve in 3.0
Wes Anderson ’12 (Religion; Clanton,
Ala.), Sheridan Farnell ’12 (English; Irvington, Ala.), and Allison Comer ’09 (Religion/Psychology; Montrose, Ala.) were
selected for participation in the first year
of 3.0 Summer Internship. The brainchild
of the Reverend Don Wooley at Pleasant
Valley and Westside UMCs in Mobile, 3.0
was funded by a grant from the Quad W
Foundation and brought 16 college-aged
interns into Mobile for two months of intensive work with inner-city families. Anderson
worked at Pleasant Valley UMC designing, building, marketing, and teaching in
a children’s day camp; Comer worked
with abused women and children in West
Wilmer; Farnell worked with refugee families, mostly from Muslim backgrounds,
at Whistler UMC. “[The refugee families]
were so sad to have left their homes but
so happy for a new life here, and so very,
very thankful—they humbled us so much,”
says Farnell. Both Farnell and Anderson
acknowledge that it’s difficult to get back
to the world of college life after living
through this experience. “What we did
there was so important, so life-giving,” says
Anderson. “We learned that ministry is not
about reaching down to lift someone up,
it’s about reaching out—getting beside
people and sometimes beneath them to
lift their vision to new possibilities for their
lives.” Comer is now a graduate student
at Asbury Theological Seminary.

In the
Hawks Nest
Information from Sports Information Director Tim Lutz
Football
The Hawks finished the regular season with an 8-2 record for the second straight season, but the caliber of teams played caught the
attention of the NCAA, who awarded the Hawks with a Pool B bid
to the postseason and an opportunity to play for the NCAA-Division
III championship. Although the Hawks, ranked fourth in the South
region, hosted and lost to Mississippi College in the first-round playoff game, quarterback Justin Ridgeway ’09 (History; Frisco City, Ala.)
set a new single-season record for passing yards, while Alex Baronich ’10 (Human Performance; Baton Rouge, La.) rewrote the singleseason rushing record book. Behind Ridgeway and Baronich, the
Hawks’ offense was ranked number one among all of Division III in
total yards. Defensively, Keith Anthony ’12 (Sport Studies; Montgomery) surpassed the single-season record for interceptions and led the
team in total tackles. While the Hawks are great athletes, they also
do well in the classroom, with three placed on the National Football
Foundation’s Hampshire Honor Society after the 2008 season.
Cross Country
The women’s cross country team captured the GSAC championship for the first time in the program’s short history this year. Caitlin
McMahon ’12 (Undeclared; Cortland, N.Y.), the league’s Freshman
and Runner of the Year last season, repeated in the latter title this
season, bettering her own school records in the two-mile, 5K, and
6K events. Coach Nate Rucker was named GSAC Women’s Cross
Country Coach of the Year. After winning the GSAC Championship
in its first-ever season last year, the Huntingdon men’s cross country team came in second in the league this year. Kent Hagan ’10
(Biochemistry/Biology; Opelika, Ala.), an All-GSAC performer both
seasons, was named Runner of the Year this year, capturing the individual championship by less than a second. Jeff Jenkins ’12 (Coaching Education; Opelika, Ala.) also enjoyed a strong second season
with the program, capturing All-Conference accolades.
Softball
Under first-year head coach Gynger Williams, the softball team
posted a 17-22-1 overall record and earned the No. 3 seed in the
GSAC conference tournament last spring. Nicole Hill ’09 and Ashley Blocker ’11 (Biology; Alpine, Ala.) each earned All-Conference
accolades, while four were named to the All-Academic team.
Volleyball
The volleyball team enjoyed one of its most successful seasons under
fourth-year head coach Megan Aiello, leading the GSAC in blocks
as a team for the third consecutive season while ranking 36th nationally in service aces per set. For the third consecutive season, Kayla
Schuran ’10 (Cell Biology; Middleburg, Fla.) and Clare Shannon ’11
18
(Biology; Birmingham, Ala.) were named to the All-GSAC Team.

(Biochemistry; Montgomery), Jessica Sharker ’11 (Biology; Montgomery), Christine Whiten ’11 (Biochemistry; Trussville, Ala.), Alyssa
Eason ’12 (Biology; Dadeville, Ala.) and Abby Carter ’11 (Psychology; Charlotte, N.C.).
Under the direction of first-year head coach
Wes Anania, the Huntingdon women’s soccer team doubled its win total from 2008.
Courtney Fredenburg ’11 (Human Performance; Mobile, Ala.) and Renee Tatom ’13
(Undeclared; Post Fall, Id.) formed a solid
punch for the Lady Hawks, with Fredenburg
named to the All-Conference Team and
Tatom to the All-Freshman Team. On the
men’s team, Morgan Burke ’12 (Undeclared;
Mobile, Ala.) earned All-Conference honors
as the team finished the season at 3-15. Jarryd Keene ’11 (Athletic Training; Enterprise,
Ala.) averaged 6.20 saves per contest, a
mark that led the GSAC.
Basketball
For the first time since joining the GSAC, the women’s basketball team advanced to
the conference championship game, while finishing with a 16-12 overall record. Huntingdon Athletic Director Buzz Phillips was named GSAC Coach of the Year, while Tiffany Jordan ’09 and Lori Bonds ’10 (Elementary Education; Atmore, Ala.) each earned
All-Conference accolades for the third time during their careers. The Lady Hawks also
tied for a league-high four student-athletes on the GSAC All-Academic team. Under
the direction of second-year head coach Mike Pugh, the men’s basketball team
advanced to the GSAC championship game and finished with a 13-13 overall record.
Jeremy Pittman ’09 was named the GSAC Player of the Year after leading the league
in points, rebounds, 3-point field goal percentage, blocked shots, defensive rebounds,
and minutes played. In his first season with the Hawks, Reggie Sprouse ’12 (Athletic
Training; Montgomery) also earned All-Conference honors, while Heath Miller ’10 (Biology; Guntersville, Ala.) and Chris Roberts ’11 (Coaching Education; Verbena, Ala.)
were recognized as All-Academic team members.
Golf
During a strong inaugural season
that featured a team victory in
only its seventh tournament, the
women’s golf team showed steady
improvement through the 2009 fall
season. Ali Hamil ’13 (Chemistry; St.
Augustine, Fla.) posted a schoolrecord low round of 76 in the second round of the BSC Fall Southern Shootout, while averaging a
team-best 85.2 strokes per round.
The Huntingdon men’s golf team
finished sixth at the NCAA-Division
III Championships and won 7 of its
10 regular-season tournaments last
spring. Mack Duke ’12 (pictured;
Coaching Education; Orange
Beach, Ala.) became the second consecutive Hawks golfer to earn the prestigious Phil
Mickelson Award, which is presented annually to the nation’s top freshman, while also
being named to the PING First-Team All-America. J.P. Kircher ’11 (Communication Studies; Pittsford, N.Y.) was recognized as a Third-Team All-America selection, while head
coach Matt Mahanic ’07 was selected as the Division III Eaton Golf National Coach of
the Year. The team is ranked second nationally in the final fall 2009 Golf World/Nike
Division III Coaches’ Poll.
Soccer
Baseball
Led by league Coach of the Year D.J. Conville ’98, the baseball team finished the
2009 season with a 26-15 overall record,
capturing the Great South Athletic Conference regular-season title before falling in
the tournament championship game. John
Otterson ’09, Josh Bennefield ’11 (Elementary
Education; Pleasant Grove, Ala.), and Alex
Sanford ’10 (Human Performance; Prattville,
Ala.) earned All-Conference honors, while
Brad Vest ’09 and Kyle Eller ’10 (Cell Biology/
Mathematics; Niceville, Fla.) garnered both
All-GSAC and All-South Region accolades.
Huntingdon also had three players recognized on the All-Freshman team and nine
named to the All-Academic squad.
Tennis
The women’s tennis team fell short of capturing its third consecutive GSAC tournament
title. Despite the loss, the Lady Hawks have
won 22 of their last 23 matches against GSAC
opponents. Huntingdon placed four players
on the GSAC All-Conference team, led by
freshman Madison Jackson ’12 (Elementary
Education; Dothan, Ala.), who was selected
as the league Freshman of the Year. The
Lady Hawks also had four selected to the
All-Freshman team and two named to the
All-Academic squad. The men’s team captured its second straight GSAC tournament
title, defeating Maryville in the finals. Glenn
Rudolph ’09 was named the league’s Player
of the Year, while Jonathan Hibbert ’12 (Business Administration; Montgomery) earned
Freshman of the Year honors. B.J. Foroughian ’11 (Chemistry; Baton Rouge, La.) and
Sean Jackson ’12 (Business Administration;
Hudsonville, Mich.) also captured All-Conference honors, while Hibbert, Jackson, and

Friends, Staff, and Faculty
• Dr. Betty Collier (right) served as a physical education professor
at HC for nearly 40 years, also chairing the May Day program.
Now 90 years old and living in Ft. Walton Beach, Fla., she may
be one of Huntingdon’s oldest living professors emeriti. Before
moving to Montgomery, she was one of the first women air traffic controllers in Atlanta. In Memphis, she served as an instructor
for the blind. In Montgomery, she was a ham radio operator
working not only in the U.S. but also overseas, making connections for families with loved ones in the military. Dr. Collier
moved to Ft. Walton Beach after retirement from HC and after
her husband died, to be nearer to her son, Henry Collier ’69,
and his wife, Anne, who attended Huntingdon in ’66 and ’67.
Until recent months, Dr. Collier was an avid weaver, participating for more than 10 years in the annual St. Simons Arts and
Craft Show in FWB. For touching so many lives at Huntingdon,
Dr. Collier leaves a lasting legacy.
• Dr. Kenneth Deal, a former professor of English at Huntingdon,
now teaches at Booker T. Washington Magnet High School,

this year.

• When Helen Marsh Bothfeld ’39 (now deceased) graduated in
1939, she may not have realized she was beginning a family tradition that rivals any other for the number of alumni produced
and for giving to Huntingdon College. After Helen and her sister, Dorothy Marsh Fairchild ’42, graduated and married, they
supported their children’s enrollment, including Robert Bothfeld
Jr. ’70, Bronwyn Bothfeld Nickles ’73, Cindy Fairchild Birden ’76,
and Holly Bothfeld Miller ’76. Holly met her husband, William
Terry Miller ’75 at Huntingdon. Holly and Terry sent their daughter, Heidi Miller ’04. Bronwyn and her husband, Jim, encouraged their son, Robby Nickles ’04. And throughout the years,
Helen’s husband, Bob Bothfeld, has endowed 14 scholarships at
the College. Together, their legacy of love has supported not
only their own family but also many future students for the College. The family has established such a tradition that when Heidi
graduated, she wore a robe embroidered with the initials of all
those in her family who had gone before her. To the Marsh/
Bothfeld/Fairchild/Miller/Nickles families, we say “Hawk ’em!”
• A new book by Kathryn Tucker Windham ’39: Spit, Scarey Ann,
and Sweat Bees: One Thing Leads to Another, is a compilation
of her childhood memories of the Deep
South in the ’20s and ’30s. Kathryn credits
her English professor at Huntingdon, the
late Dr. Rhoda Coleman Ellison, with fostering in her a love for and confidence
about writing, which has led to her
career as a master storyteller, journalist,
the author of more than 24 books. Kathryn enjoyed her 90th birthday in June. Several hundred friends came to her party
in downtown Selma and serenaded her
with a rousing comb chorus.

• F. Warren Davis ’57, of Drum Point, Md., (seated, front, next column) was the first of four siblings to graduate from Huntingdon.
A Korean War veteran, he attended thanks to the G.I. Bill and
the hard work of his mother, Flora. He married the former Elizabeth (Betty) Berkstresser ’56, who died several years ago. His
sister, LaVerne Davis Ramsey ’58, brother, Eldon Davis ’61, and
brother, Ronald Davis ’66, followed the Huntingdon tradition. All
four of the Davis siblings went on to successful careers: Warren,
at IBM; LaVerne followed her passion for photography; Eldon
was a financial advisor for A.G. Edwards; and Ron, now retired,
enjoyed a career in naval architecture. Eldon, who died in
1997, married the former Michelle (Mickey) Butte Davis ’61 after
graduation (Mickey’s brother was Warren’s classmate, Ronald
Butte ’57). Ron recently married his long-time friend and former
Huntingdon classmate, Linda Fitzpatrick ’65. (Linda’s cousin is
alumna Doris Teague ’73.) Now, the circle grows wider as Warren’s grandson, Daniel Davis, is a member of the Class of 2013,
and Daniel’s sister, Caitlin, may enter in 2011. The Huntingdon
connection may have been planted many centuries, ago,
however. Warren, who has been completing family genealogy,
recently discovered that their 20th great-grandmother was Matilda, the first Countess of Huntingdon (1072–1131 A.D.), a predecessor of Selina, the Countess of Huntingdon (1707-1791), for

story as the son and grandson of Klansmen and the incidents (in
particular, a sociology class at Huntingdon) that propelled him to
the position of field secretary for the Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee in Alabama during the violent years of the
Civil Rights Movement. The book received a positive review from
Publisher’s Weekly and a starred review from Library Journal, calling it, “A story that is sometimes horrific, always interesting, and
ultimately inspirational about a white Southerner’s commitment
to racial injustice. This powerful portrait of a courageous man is
highly recommended.” The book has been optioned for film by
director Spike Lee. Screenwriter Barry Brown, who has completed
the screenplay, was present for the Colloquy.

9th grade, my mother made the impressive
decision to attend college. Huntingdon was
her choice. I watched her as she soaked up
the college experience as dry earth soaks
up a steady rain. After she graduated, I enrolled. Huntingdon
was an obvious choice for me. It was familiar territory and the
professors made my learning challenging and fun. When Chief
and I began dating, he chose to attend Huntingdon, partly
because of the great school it was and partly because the
woman he was in love with was already a student there. We
courted on campus. We have fond memories of the stacks in
the library since he did his work-study there. Huntingdon prepared us well for our careers and lives in the community. The
call to service has been a foundation in both of our lives and
because we believe we have been “blessed to be a blessing,” we have both worked in serving professions. We are very
pleased that our daughter, Sarah, is now in her senior year at
Huntingdon. She has found a great community among faculty,
staff and students, and we are confident that she will “go forth
in service” after graduation.

A Legacy of Service
Rannie McCall ’87 (pictured standing, white suit, at a tailgate

with a heart condition that would ultimately take his life, Rannie
set up and taught an after-school computer skills class for youth
at Dexter Avenue King Memorial Baptist Church in Montgomery.
After he learned that the church had an unused computer lab,
Rannie, who had always wanted to teach, asked if he might
use the space to teach computer skills to the children from
one of Montgomery’s poorest neighborhoods. The church not
only gave him the space and necessary equipment, but also
allowed him use of their minibus to shuttle the students home
and provided snacks for the students. The church said the cost
of the program, at an estimated $3,000, could have a return in
the millions of dollars if just one child was lifted from poverty. “All

children who take part in Rannie’s program are from the housing
projects in Montgomery and have limited exposure to the outside
world,” the Reverend Michael Thurman, who pastors the church,
told the Montgomery Advertiser in an article in May 2007. “He is
trying to not only teach them computer skills; but also to inspire
them to set goals.” Huntingdon joined the cause by donating
the time necessary to update and debug the computers for use.
For the same article, Rannie told the Advertiser, “When these
kids first started with me this fall, none of them had any desire
to attend college. After a few months in the program, now over
half of them talk about career and college plans.” Sadly, Rannie passed away September 23, 2007, but the way he applied
wisdom in service to the young people in one of Montgomery’s
poorest neighborhoods will be his legacy.

a legacy of his own as a faculty
member in the Department of History for 30 years: “As a physician, I
am continually grateful for the kind
of education that I received at Huntingdon College as a history major. The practice of medicine
is not limited to the memorization and application of scientific
knowledge. More important, I believe, is the ability to examine
and synthesize relevant information from a variety of sources.
The careful, objective, and sometimes creative interpretation
of this information, say when making a diagnosis, then leads
to the best possible care for the patient. Being a history major
gave me a firm foundation in these skills. On a more personal
note, my undergraduate study of history has prepared me for
a lifetime of further reading and learning by introducing me to
essentially every aspect of human knowledge.”

Building the College for the Next Generation
David Hudson Jr. ’81 steps in as chair of
the Board of Trustees
Huntingdon College’s Board of Trustees has its first alumni chair
in more than a decade, as David Hudson Jr. ’81 of Tuscaloosa,
Alabama, stepped into the role this fall.
Hudson, co-owner and president of Dixie Pulp and Paper Inc. of
Tuscaloosa, has, in some ways, been associated with Huntingdon
all his life. He has seen the college evolve through the memories
of his father, and then lived it through his own experience. “My
father attended Huntingdon to prepare for a career in the ministry, but then he was called into the service,” says Hudson. “He
eventually completed his degree at the University of Alabama,
but he always had fabulous stories about his Huntingdon experience. Later, my parents sent me to a couple of Neal Posey’s basketball camps. I didn’t realize it, but they were politicking for me
to go to Huntingdon. They knew it would be the right environment
to help me grow—a smaller school where I would be known, and
two hours from home. They were exactly right.”
As a student, Hudson was a founding father of the Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity and then served as its president during his senior
year. He believes that leadership experience and the confidence
it gave him, coupled with faculty who took the time to build on
his strengths and to strengthen his weaknesses, contributed to his
success. “I’m sincere in my belief that Huntingdon is one of the
primary reasons I am who I am today,” he says. “I know that’s the
case with others, too.” Hudson joined the Huntingdon board in
2002.
After graduating from Huntingdon, Hudson went on to build, with
the help of his uncle, a jewelry store business in Tuscaloosa. He
was then persuaded to join his father in the business his father had
founded, Dixie Pulp and Paper. Dixie Pulp and Paper services a
niche market in the paper industry in two ways: first, by purchasing
rolls of off-grade paperboard from paper mills and selling them
to converting plants, where they are made into products—such
as cake boxes and air filter frames; second, by purchasing scrap
paper and board trimmed away in the converting process of a
product, such as envelopes and folding boxes. The scrap is sorted
and sent to mills, where it can be repulped and reused—ensuring
that there is no waste, and saving trees in the process.
David Hudson ’81 assumed the role of chairman of the Board
of Trustees this fall. He is the first alumnus to chair the board in a
decade. He is pictured speaking at the Presidential Convocation
in August.
As Hudson brings his entrepreneurial spirit to the Huntingdon Board
of Trustees, it is clear that forward-thinking will be the first order
of business. He says he doesn’t wish to relive his college days or
make Huntingdon the college of yesteryear, but instead to embrace the future generations to come, including that of his godson, Tyler Barton, a member of the Class of 2012.
“My father came to Huntingdon when men weren’t allowed to
live on campus,” he says. “Fast forward a generation later, and I
am a founding father of a fraternity on campus, then served as its
president. Still another generation later, as I join the Board of Trustees, the College initiates a football team and a marching band.
Huntingdon is about opportunity—for the students of this region,
and for young people who, like me, could really blossom in an
environment that is based on relationships.”
Tyler Barton ’12 is a legacy and the godson of David Hudson ’81.
“My business is about relationships,” says Hudson, another strength
he believes he developed at Huntingdon. “The campus atmosphere at Huntingdon nurtured my ability to develop relationships
not just with students, but also with faculty and others. At Dixie,
we bring in teams to our customers and suppliers and train them
on ways to better manage and market their scrap paper and offgrade board. “
Since Hudson joined Dixie in 1988, the company has grown from
four employees to 75 and from a single office to a 225,000-squarefoot facility in Tuscaloosa and operations in Georgia, Maryland,
and Oklahoma. Together, they contribute to the re-use and resale of more than 300,000 tons of scrap paper and off-grade paper annually.

the Huntingdon Fund
for Scholarships
What difference did Huntingdon make in your life?
When you make a gift to the Huntingdon Fund for Scholarships,
you make a difference in the life of Huntingdon College and
in the lives of those who are educated here—students who
are primarily from the Southeast and who might not otherwise
be able to afford a private college education; students who
are just like you were when Huntingdon changed your life.
Gifts to the Huntingdon Fund for Scholarships are Huntingdon’s
most critical need at this time. Gifts of any amount are welcome and necessary to ensure the sustained success of this
great college. Please consider making a gift of $1,000 or more
and becoming a member of the Huntingdon Society.

2009 Stallworth Lecturer Dr. Ron White, author of A. Lincoln: A Biography (center), discussed elements of the Gettysburg Address
with President J. Cameron West (left) and
Dr. Jeremy Lewis, professor of political science, during a luncheon with a small group
of faculty, staff, and students.
Athletic Director Buzz Phillips may be the
most generous employee on campus, with
lifetime giving to the College at the level of
the Order of the Countess of Huntingdon,
the giving society into which he was inducted last year. He has served as athletic
director since 2004, but had been a part of
the Huntingdon staff in prior years, serving
as head men’s basketball coach and in
other capacities.
New Trustee David Cobb (center), with his
father, Henry Cobb, visited with Anthony
Leigh, vice president for external affairs, at
the reception following the Stallworth Lecture by Dr. Ron White in September.

At least 14 members of the Lipscomb and Rush families were
associated with the College, either as students or as administrators, beginning with Tuskegee Female College’s first president, Andrew Adgate Lipscomb, and John Wesley Rush, one
of the College’s earliest trustees and faculty members. But it
wasn’t until Elizabeth “Libba” Denson Rush ’50, Rush’s great
granddaughter, married McAdory Lipscomb, Lipscomb’s
great grandson, that the two families united. Libba Lipscomb
is a generous and faithful donor to the College and a member of the Huntingdon Society, the John Massey Heritage Society, and the Order of the Countess of Huntingdon.

Join the Scarlet
and Grey Circle!
The Scarlet and Grey Circle was created for loyal
Huntingdon students and alumni who want to preserve the Huntingdon experience for future generations of students. By joining the Circle, students
and alumni pledge to do three things:
• be a life-long ambassador for the College
• encourage future students to attend
Huntingdon; and
• make an annual gift to the College.
There is no dollar requirement for the annual gift;
rather, the Scarlet and Grey Circle celebrates the
act of giving back to the College each and every
year.
The first 15 members to sign the pledge were the
students who are serving as Huntingdon Ambassadors this year! Having a large number of Huntingdon alumni who are willing to pledge a lifetime
commitment to the College will speak volumes to
foundations and other major donors who evaluate colleges and universities based on their alumni
giving percentages.

Huntingdon benefactor and former staff member Mary Ellen Harrell Bullard, age
83, passed away March 6. Mrs. Bullard was a champion for the United Methodist Church and for Huntingdon. She served selflessly at every level of the church:
local, state, national, and international. Simultaneously, she supported nearly every
Huntingdon cause and giving campaign during her four-decade affiliation with
the College. In the 1970s, she co-chaired a campaign that raised $2 million for the
College and later served as the director of educational ministries with the church,
a program of the Alabama-West Florida Conference housed at Huntingdon. Mrs.
Bullard was the wife of Huntingdon College Trustee John Bullard. Together, they
were the recipients of the United Methodist Higher Education Foundation’s highest
award for service, the Stanley S. Kresge Award, last year. The award established a
$20,000 endowment for scholarships in their name at Huntingdon. The Bullards are
members of the John Massey Heritage Society, the Hall of Honor, the Huntingdon
Society, and the Countess of Huntingdon giving societies.
John (left) and Mary Ellen Bullard (center) received the Kresge Award from the
General Board of Higher Education and Ministry of The United Methodist Church
after being nominated by Huntingdon President J. Cameron West (right) last year.
Habitat for Humanity and Fuller Center
for Housing co-founder Millard Fuller, the
husband of Linda Fuller ’64, died in February at age 74. Linda Fuller often says she
carried the Huntingdon motto with her
after graduating, and that, along with her
deep faith, led her to ask her husband to
sell their belongings in order to live a life
of Christian service, beginning at Koinonia
Farm in Americus, Ga., where the idea for
Habitat for Humanity was born. Now a legacy and on-going tribute to their founding
work, Habitat has built more than 300,000
60
houses, sheltering more than 1.5 million
people in more than 3,000 communities
worldwide since its founding in 1976. In
1996, President Bill Clinton awarded Fuller
the Presidential Medal of Freedom, calling
Habitat “…the most successful continuous
community service project in the history of
the United States.” He was awarded an
honorary doctorate at Huntingdon and
delivered the Commencement Address
in 2002.
Bernard Chambliss, age 79, a member of
the Huntingdon housekeeping staff since
1980, passed away in his sleep May 19.
A small and wiry man with energy and
strength beyond his frame, Bernard served
the College community well for nearly 30
years. He was remembered during a special Chapel service held in his honor in
September, at which his wife, Hula, and
daughters, Jocelyn and Sandra, were
present.
Jerry Savage, age 74, the husband
of alumna Sue Cross Savage ’57 and,
with her, a member of the Countess
of Huntingdon, the Hall of Honor, the
Huntingdon Society, and the John
Massey Heritage giving societies,
passed away March 4. Mr. Savage,
a retired banker and civic leader
named Man of the Year for Griffin,
Ga., accompanied his wife at numerous college events.
Long-time Huntingdon trustee
Wyatt Shorter, age 76, of Camden, Ala., passed away March
30 after a 17-year battle with
brain cancer. A true legacy
family, alums in the Shorter family
include his wife, Gayle ’98, and
sons Matt ’89 and Charles ’96.
Mr. Shorter, the retired president
of MacMillan Bloedel, dearly
loved Huntingdon. He is pictured
speaking as a trustee at the 1992
Presidential Convocation.
