A faculty member recently passed on some scanned pages taken from a copy of the Anderson Daily Mail from November 5, 1949. These pages featured a Who’s Who of Anderson College graduates and current leaders. The people listed are many of whom we can and should be proud: missionaries, educators, political leaders, musicians, and physicians, among others. One of the names stood out: Myra Anderson. Having the same name as the town and the university was intriguing. Who was she? Reading her brief biography only drew more interest and began a flurry of searching online; however, we still have questions about this woman and her life. If you can help us fill in the blanks, please let us know.  


Myra Anderson was born in Anderson, South Carolina, in 1894 to Sally McPherson Browne and Joseph Anderson. Her mother died in 1898 when she was four years old. Her father remarried and was soon widowed again. At some point he moved to Raleigh, North Carolina, where he died in 1924.


Ms. Anderson entered Anderson College and graduated with an A.B. in 1920 MA_votes_Sororian1920at the age of 26. Thanks to our digitized copies of the Sororian (the Anderson College yearbook) we know that she was very active while a student and was president of the Student Government   Association during the 1919-1920 school year, served as Literary Society Editor for the Orion, and played in the Student Volunteer Band. She was also voted Most Popular and Most Dependable.  


Anderson continued her education at Scarritt College in Nashville, Tennessee, and then went to Japan as a missionary in 1922 through the Methodist Episcopal Church, South. According to her memorial in the Seventeenth Annual Report of the Woman's Division of Christian Service of the Board of Missions of The Methodist Church (1956) she taught at Kobe, Hiroshima Girls School, and Frasier Institute. She came back to the United States at the onset of World War II and worked in a Japanese internment camp in Seagoville, Texas. In the transcripts of the Japanese American World War II Evacuation Oral History Project Dr. Amy Stannard (interviewed in 1978) mentions Myra Anderson’s service and help during that time:

“[We] were able to recruit an American missionary teacher who had not been able to get back to her post in Hiroshima after Pearl Harbor. She was an excellent interpreter of the Japanese language and culture and served as a highly satisfactory liaison between the Japanese group and the American administration… [Her] name was Myra Anderson. She went back to Japan just as soon as she possibly could after the war. She was so devoted to the Japanese people. She was required to take a whole year's supply of provisions with her before they [occupied Japan] would let her come back.”

 


 We know from the brief biographical sketch in the newspaper that once the war was over she returned to Japan at the “invitation of the War Department as official escort for 4,500 Japanese who were being repatriated... [She] was the first civilian woman to enter the country after the surrender.” The Seventeenth Annual Report of the Woman's Division of Christian Service of the Board of Missions of The Methodist Church (1956) states that she was a faculty member at Hiroshima Jo Gakuin from 1946 until her return to the United States in 1955.

 

 


The memorial mentions that she died of a lingering illness and we know that she passed away in California in 1955, which raises many questions. Does her early entry back into Japan after the bombing have anything to do with the illness and her demise? Records state that her father died in North Carolina and not in Anderson in the 1920s, so did she still have family in this area? Is she buried in California or here in South Carolina? The search for more information on Myra Anderson has begun! If you know more about her or know of any family members still here in the Anderson area, please contact us as we would love to find out about this amazing alumna of Anderson College.

The Spanish Influenza Pandemic (from 1917 to 1919) infected over 20 million people and killed over 850,000. Anderson College students were quarantined and no visitors were allowed on campus. Dr. Olga Pruitt, Anderson College Physician 1913-1956, was very proud that not a single student life was lost during the flu epidemic of 1918-1919. See Appendix C in Kathryn Copeland, Dr. Annie Dove Denmark: South Carolina’s First Female College President (Charleston: History Press, 2011), page 125.

The Thrift Library recently upgraded its NetLibrary account to allow downloading eBooks to your home or office computer, laptop, cell phone, eBook reader or other mobile devices.

 

Note that while two thirds of the library’s 36,000 NetLibrary titles are downloadable, some are not. You can tell if an eBook is downloadable by opening the book and looking under the eContent Details Tab. If the following link is present- Check Out & Download this eBook – then you can download it.  Also, you can limit your search to downloadable titles by selecting the format - Downloadable eBooks - in the advanced search mode.

 

Compatible portable devices include the Barnes & Noble Nook, Several Sony Digital Readers, and the COOL-ER. NetLibrary does not yet support Amazon’s Kindle. All devices that support  Adobe Content Server are compatible, although some work better than others with NetLibrary eBooks.

 

eBooks may be “checked out” to your device for 3-7 days.

NOTE: You must first download Adobe Digital Editions to your computer or mobile device in order to download and read NetLibrary eBooks off line. This free software is not the same as the more commonly used Adobe Reader. Users will have to register and set up a personal account with Adobe. Here’s how.

In a Pit with a Lion on a Snowy Day

By Mark Batterson

BS 1325.52B38 2006

An inspirational book that encourages readers to make the most of opportunities and realize God’s power whatever the circumstances.  Using examples from the Bible, Batterson illuminates the truth that sometimes what seems like huge problems and obstacles in life can become the biggest blessings.   However, we must be willing to “chase lions” or face fears and rise to the greatness that God knows we are capable of.

Thrift Library Calendar and Hours

You can always found out when the library is open by going to the Library’s web page. Look under the About the Library, then click on Library Hours and Calendar. Our holiday hours are also noted on the blog.

 

Study For Your Exams in the Library

The Thrift Library is Big, Beautiful, and … Quiet. It  contains 10 study rooms for group work, and many cubicles for individual study. When you are ready to take a break, there is even a café in the basement that provides wonderful coffee, tea, sandwiches, snacks and specialty drinks – and a noisy place to study if you can’t function in the quiet. Come to the library.

 

 

MLA 7th Ed. Now Available in Gale Databases

The citation generation feature contained within the dozen or so databases supplied by Gale (Academic One File, etc.) contains the latest format changes found in the new MLA Manual / 7th ed.

 

Here are the changes you'll see:

•   No more underlining — publication titles and the name of the online product are now italicized

•   No more URLs — MLA no longer requires URLs, but encourages writers to provide a URL if the citation information does not easily lead readers to the source

•   Continuous pagination — this is no longer an issue for scholarly journal citations; both volume and issue numbers are required, regardless of pagination

•   Publication medium — since all documents are accessed from an online Gale resource, the citation will always include the medium "Web." In addition, MLA has eliminated the requirement to include the name of the service ("Gale") and the name of the subscribing institution

•   New abbreviations — when certain metadata is missing, such as publisher or page numbers, there are suggested abbreviations to display denoting that fact

 

 

Contemporary Christian Collection Link Posted

The Thrift Library’s Contemporary Christian Collection is a composed of works by contemporary Christian writers, and is displayed on the main floor of the library along the wall in the far left corner – across from the Bound Periodicals.   Authors include: Francine Rivers, Jan Karon, Donald Miller, Joel C. Rosenberg, Terri Blackstock, Max Lucado, Louie Giglio, and John Hagee.

 

To promote this special collection a link directing users to a list of available titles has been added to the library’s web page directly below the Library Catalog link. Here’s a shortcut.

 

Readers are encouraged to suggest additional authors and titles.

BibMe http://www.andersonuniversity.edu/libraryblog.aspx?id=3343&blogid=486 BibMe is a new citation program we would like to encourage students to try. This free program is very helpful, and offers a number of advantages over the Landmark Citation Generator.   About BibME –   BibMe will go out

Library Admin 2009-08-19T14:54:00Z BibMe is a new citation program we would like to encourage students to try. This free program is very helpful, and offers a number of advantages over the Landmark Citation Generator.

 

About BibME –

 

  • BibMe will go out on the internet, find your source, and download the bibliographic information into a bibliography using the following sources:

         - Amazon.com

         - FindArticles

         - Yahoo! News

         - CiteULike Academic Papers

 

  • It’s FREE!
  • You must register for an account before using. Thereafter you will use your email address and password to access your bibliographies.
  • Can search by title, author, ISBN
  • Creates citations/bibliographies in APA, MLA, Chicago, and Turabian styles.
  • Bibliographies can be saved / edited /shared online.
  • Downloads bibliographies to Word.
  • You can save as many bibliographies as you want.
  • FAQ’s

Caveats –

 

  • Finds less than 50% of your sources. Hit rate goes down the older the source. Poor return on articles.
  • Do not enter periods, quotations marks, brackets, etc. BibMe will do that for you.
  • Does not correct spelling or capitalization.
  • BibMe is a tool for saving you time, not for doing what you cannot do. You still have to understand the rules of your citation style, because BibMe, like all citation generators, makes mistakes which you have to find and correct.
  • Supports the following formats. All other formats have to be entered manually.
  • Books and encyclopedias
  • Articles in magazines, journals, and newspapers
  • Websites
  • Film
  • Interview
  • Radio/TV
  • Photographs
  • Lectures
  • BibMe Sometimes demands information not available to you. If so, enter NA. Then edit the resulting citation.
  • Although BibMe handles multiple authors, it does not handle multiple editors or directors.
  • Good at downloading bibliographic information on home pages, but not information you have to drill down to.
  • Tends to name home pages twice – once as the home page and once as the author. If so, delete the author.
  • Omits number of volumes for multivolume reference works.
  • Does not link to articles within databases and so cannot autofill articles from Academic Search Premier, Academic OneFile, etc.
  • If using autofill from a page within a database (other than the home page) you will need to shorten the url to that of the home page.
  • If you are citing a book or encyclopedia in whole, use a book search and autofill. If citing an article/chapter in a book/encyclopedia, use the encyclopedia format under Other – but no autofill.
  • MLA does not add   Print / Web / Film / etc. to citation.
