description

miss gleaves came to lipscomb in 1947 to teach second grade. in 1952, she was appointed dorm supervisor for the college, first in johnson hall, then in fanning hall. while she expected her young charges to abide by the rules, she was very understanding of their needs, a help in times of crisis, as well as loyal, caring, and selfless. her intelligence commanded respect, but her infectious laugh helped to give her dorm a pleasant, inviting atmosphere. the same qualities that affected her residents so deeply also endeared her to generations of lipscomb lectures guests, whom she served as hostess for 24 years until her retirement following the summer lectures in 1976.
