Abstract
This interview was conducted for the as part of the Winthrop History Project spearheaded by Winthrop President Emeritus Dr. Anthony DiGiorgio and Rebecca Masters to “document the 24-year path of the original Winthrop College to becoming Winthrop University.” This effort was to produce a history of the institution and Dr. DiGiorgio’s tenure as president as a supplement to Dr. Ross Webb’s history of Winthrop (The Torch is Passed) that covered Winthrop history up to Dr. DiGiorgio becoming president. A key aspect of the project was a series of audio-taped interviews conducted with various members of the extended Winthrop community who participated in or helped guide the advancement of Winthrop over these years. That way, the Winthrop story will be told in an array of participants’ own words, own voices and from their own perspectives.
This interview is with Mary Anne DuBose Douglas Lake. Mary was a 1955 graduate of Winthrop with a degree in music. Her mother was also a Winthrop graduate from about 1928. Mary served on the Winthrop Alumni Board and then the Winthrop Board of Trustees from 1988 through 2000. In this interview she discusses her experiences and impressions working with Winthrop President, Dr. Anthony DiGiorgio.
