Letters to the Editor

Thank you for the best issue

I have ever seen (September 2002). You

have captured the heart and spirit and hopes and dreams and historical roots and decades of fruits that characterize Wake

Forest College and University.

Having taught archaeology at the

Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, I

was offered a position as associate professor of religion at WFC in the summer of

1946, and my years there were delightful.

It meant, though, that I would not be

moving to Winston-Salem because I was asked to be the professor of archaeology and Ancient Near Eastern Studies in the new seminary before going to Stetson

University in Florida, where I retired after

22 years. You have done me a great favor

by publishing this issue.

Marc H. Lovelace

Winston-Salem, N.C.

Your September 2002 issue

is the best one of all. Why? Because of the article on ÒCorapeake.Ó I suppose Brenda

Parker Hunt and I are the only two in

Wake Forest history whose roots were

solidly established in or near that tiny town.

Thanks for calling it a town. During

my youth I could stand in our front yard, look north, and, but for a curve in the road and a thicket, the whole town was visible. Sara (Õ53) and I plan to be on cam- pus for the Õ52 law class reunion. We shall thumb a ride to the Hanes Gallery and view Kendall MessickÕs photography of my hometown.

Wake Forest Magazine plans a tribute to retiring

Chaplain Ed Christman (Õ50, JD Õ53). If you have a memory or brief anecdote to share, please write to

Cherin C. Poovey, P.O. Box 7205, Winston-Salem,

NC, 27109, or e-mail poovey@wfu.edu.

Milner taught at schools in Texas and

Virginia before returning to Winston-Salem

four years ago. He is the son of two educa- torsÐhis father, Joe, is chairman of Wake

ForestÕs education department, and his

mother, Lucy, teaches in the education department at Salem College. He and his students started an exchange program sev- eral years ago that has brought several stu- dents from Bosnia to the Career Center. He has gone from teaching some of the poorest students in Texas to more affluent ones in

Winston-Salem, but he said both experi-

ences have taught him the importance of communicating hope for the future to young people. ÒIÕve also learned that my most successful lessons are student-cen- tered, dominated by student discussion and interaction and questions.Ó

The Waddill Award was established in

1994 by David Waddill of Rye, N.Y., to

honor his father, Professor Emeritus of

Mathematics Marcellus Waddill. The

deadline for the 2003 awards is Dec. 16.

Ettin, Harriger honored

Waddill awards also presented

at Convocation.

Professor of English Andrew V. Ettin

and Professor of Political Science Katy

Harriger were among those honored during

the UniversityÕs Opening Convocation in

October. Genomics pioneer J. Craig Venter,

a leader in the race to decode the human genome, was the keynote speaker during the program, which kicked off the School of MedicineÕs Centennial Celebration.

Ettin, who joined the faculty in 1977,

received the Donald O. Schoonmaker

Award for Community Service. He has par-

ticipated in social and religious activities as a board member of the Union of American

Hebrew Congregations, as the spiritual

leader of Temple Israel in Salisbury, N.C., as the acting rabbi at Temple Emmanuel in

Winston-Salem and as the Jewish chaplain

at the Blumenthal Home for the Aged.

Harriger, who joined the faculty in

1985, received the Jon Reinhardt Award

for Excellence in Teaching. The former stu- dents who nominated Harriger praised her for spending a great deal of time advising and working with students, especially on their writing.

The Marcellus Waddill Excellence

in Teaching Awards were also presented.

Jackie Rogers (Õ98), who received the award

on the elementary level, is a fifth grade teacher at P.S. 38 in East Harlem, N.Y.Jonathan Milner (Õ90), the secondary winner, teaches AP politics and European history at the Career Center in Winston-

Salem.

Rogers and Milner were chosen from

among 59 nominees for the award by a selection committee chaired by Associate

Provost Sam Gladding (Õ67, MAEd Õ71).

The Waddill Award is presented annually

by the Office of Alumni Activities and the education department. Each winner receives a $20,000 cash award, one of the largest monetary prizes of any teacher award pro- gram in the country.

Rogers, a native of Maryland, wanted to

teach underprivileged children after she graduated from Wake Forest, so she ended up at P.S. 38, which draws most of its stu- dents from surrounding housing projects and homeless shelters. The school had been under state review for failing to meet basic standards for 12 years, longer than any other elementary school in the state, but she and other teachers succeeded in raising test scores and getting the state review lifted.

ÒI try to teach my class the way that I

was taught,Ó she said, Ònot to dwell on the terrible circumstances surrounding my stu- dentsÕ lives, but to treat them as children who have minds waiting to be filled with exciting information.Ó

End of an era

Chaplain Ed Christman will

retire in July.

Ed Christman, the UniversityÕs

spiritual leader for more than three decades, will retire as chaplain next summer.

Christman, 72, counseled gen-

erations of students, faculty, staff and alumni and became synonymous with University events such as Thursday morn- ing worship in Davis Chapel, the Christmas Love Feast in

Wait Chapel and the annual

pre-school retreat at Camp

Hanes.

ÒEd Christman is one of

the Wake Forest ÔinstitutionsÕ whose tenure and influence have made him one of the most visible and beloved figures in our modern history,Ó said

President Thomas K. Hearn Jr.

ÒWhether working with indi-

vidual students or leading our public liturgical observances,

Ed has influenced generations

of Wake Foresters.Ó

Christman (Õ50, JD Õ53)

was a talented debater as an undergraduate on the old campus. A Òclear call to min- istryÓ during his last months in law school led him to thenew Southeastern Baptist

Theological Seminary, which

had opened on the old campus in anticipation of the collegeÕs move to Winston-Salem. He also began working part time as director of the Baptist Student

Union. After Wake Forest

moved to Winston-Salem in

1956, he served as director of

the Baptist Student Union under J. Glenn Blackburn and as assistant chaplain under L.H.

Hollingsworth. He continued

to work with the BSU but also became known for reaching out to students of other faiths. In

1963, he secured office space in

the library for part-time chap- lains from the Methodist,quotesdbs_dbs28.pdfusesText_34
