MarshallA lecture hall in the soon-to-be renovated Hall of Languagesat Syracuse University will bear the name of Mary Hatch Marshall,Professor Emeritus. A gift of $100,000 to honor Dr. Marshall andall fine teaching has been pledged by an anonymous donor.Professor Marshall had an office in the Hall of Languagesduring her many years as a member of the English department(1948-1970). She became the Jesse Truesdell Peck Professor of EnglishLiterature four years after joining the Syracuse University faculty.Since she retired from full-time teaching in 1970, Professor Marshallhas been teaching at the Humanistic Studies Center at UniversityCollege, concentrating on her favorite subject, dramatic literature inEnglish.Professor Marshall has won two Guggenheim fellowships to studymedieval drama, and she continues the scholar's habit of preparingthoroughly for each lecture by reading critical essays, history, and workscontemporary with the topic at hand.Professor George P. Elliot is quoted in the Syracuse Universityweekly, The Record: "Mary Marshall always held to the very highestintellectual and academic standards in her teaching and collegiateroles .... For this, she earned the greatest respect as a colleague anda teacher."Her students at University College honored her in November1977, when Professor Marshall received one of the first two annualawards for fine teaching from this division of Syracuse University.(Mr. Gary Trento, from the School of Visual and Performing Artsalso received an award.)Chosen by student ballot, Professor Marshall was given a scrollciting the many reasons that students judge her a great teacher.They mentioned the depth and range of her scholarship, the insightwhich she brings to interpretation, and the humor which enlivensher lectures.27Old Scrapbooks Anyone?Do you remember the scrapbooks which were donated to our firstbook auction? They contained, among many interesting items, twoLincoln autographs. Those scrapbooks were found in the garage atticof Dr. and Mrs. Joel Potash. (See The Courier, XIV, 1)An Antiquarian Book Auction is scheduled again, for October 13,1978. We need donations of things to auction. Books, of course, butalso anything on paper, from calling cards to calendars.Please do check the odds and ends you have been saving becauseyou can't bear to throw them out. Perhaps what some may think isworthless junk will contain papers of historical value, such as thediaries and letters of someone who lived through a time very differentfrom our own. Perhaps you have a relative who achieved distinctionand there are papers relating to his or her work, or letters from otherdistinguished persons. A collector will care for and appreciate thesethings, which may not be true of your descendants. Very oldphotographs, especially if there is a date, can be collector's items.(We must all have some, of people whose names and faces mean nothingto us.) Pamphlets may be collectible in some cases, so might certaintheater programs and posters. Works of art, invitations, leaves fromold manuscripts, - the list is long.The auction in 1976 raised $5,000.00 for the Syracuse UniversityLibraries, all of which was spent for library acquisitions.We need "collectibles." Keep us in mind when you go throughyour desk, your basement, or your attic. What we earn depends onwhat you donate.Information about donations can be had from our office (315)423-2830. If you have nothing else to donate - money, new or old, willdo!Audio ArchivesThe National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences honoredMr. Walter L. Welch for his outstanding work in the field of re-recording.At the Syracuse University Symposium Honoring the Centennial ofRecorded Sound, in November, J. William Denny, president of theNational Academy, presented Mr., Welch with a plaque "to acknowledgehis achievements and devotion" in the field of recorded sound.
