When I told her it was your wish that this dormitory be named in honor of her mother, she expressed deep satisfaction and asked me to tell you [of] her pleasure.The result of our conference was that the dormitory will be named ELIZABETH HALL. I also told Mrs. McKean of the tentative plans to have the dedication on November 4, in connection with the Convocation observing the 73rd anniversary of the opening of Rollins. I also expressed the hope that a painting of her mother might be placed in the dormitory. I am at work on the wording for a plaque. After it has been approved by Mrs. McKean I will submit it to you.(signed) A.J.H.A. J. HannaVice PresidentAJH ms |

As these materials were periodically transferred by the Office of the President, information on a single topic may be found in multiple boxes. The Thaddeus Seymour Presidential Records are arranged in 11 series: Inauguration; Personal Information; Newspaper Clippings; General College Affairs (including: Faculty, Curriculum, Staff and Personnel Issues; Work with Students; Work with Alumni; Work with Trustees; Buildings; Commencements and Centennial; Rollins History; Involvement with Educational Organizations; and Complaints); Name Files; Chronological Files; Correspondence - Subject Files; A-Z Files; Retirement; Memorabilia; and Writing about Rollins. Biographical Note: Thaddeus Seymour came to Rollins in 1978 as the twelfth president of the college. During his twelve-year tenure, he not only transformed the school through fund-raising efforts, but also enhanced academic excellence of liberal arts education and strengthened the relationship with the local community. Seymour was born on June 29, 1928, in New York City. His father was Whitney North Seymour, a well-known attorney and president of the American Bar Association. Seymour attended Princeton and the University of California at Berkley as an undergraduate. From there, he went to the University of North Carolina, studied 18th century English literature, and received his master’s degree and Ph.D. Seymour began his academic career as an English professor at Dartmouth, and five years later became Dean of the College. Before coming to Rollins, Seymour served as president of Wabash College in Indiana for nine years. While at Rollins, Seymour led the college’s centennial celebration, rededicated the Walk of Fame, raised funds for the construction of the Olin Library and the Cornell Social Science Building, reinstated the Fox Day, and actively contributed to various community activities. He served as chairman, vice-chairman, and committee member of numerous academic and civic organizations. Throughout his life, Seymour is widely known not only as dean and college president, but also an inspiring teacher, a caring counselor, a supportive friend, a charming magician and a leading citizen of the community. Upon his retirement in 1990, Seymour received an honorary degree from Rollins College. He has also been recognized with honorary doctorates from Wilkes College (Pa.), Butler University, and Indiana State University. In 1994, he received the Citizens Award from the Sullivan Committee. Three years later, in 1997, Seymour and his wife, Polly, became Winter Park’s Citizens of the Year, in recognition of their continued service in the community. |
