Excerpt from Bulletin of Sweet Briar College, Vol. 11: Founders' Day, October 26, 1928; Memorials to Emilie Watts McVea That for which she was paid called for nine teaching hours a week, the reading of endless papers and themes without assistants, guidance, as dean of women, to some thousand girls and the sending out of countless university communications in her own handwriting, since she never had a secretary. But as though such labors were insufficient for the day, Emilie mcvea associated herself with every important social movement. Secondary school education, child labor, literary productiveness, the drama, an open university forum, the interests of college women, university standards and university administration, the parity of men and women in university posts, competent teachers for women's colleges, states' rights and the definitions of democracy were just a few of the interests to which she lent her marvellous energies. She threw herself into one hopeless cause after the other. I say hopeless, for such they were esteemed at the time; and I finish this portion of her story with the retort of a distinguished feminist whom an acquaintance once challenged by asking, How fares the champion of lost causes? Myself well, came the answer, and you can make tally of the lost causes yourself. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at ...
